When Y/n Vixen's parents decide they've had enough of her unpredictable behavior, they leave her behind at Blackwood Psychiatric Institute with nothing but a signature and a goodbye that never comes. Months later, Y/n has earned a reputation as Blackwood's most exhausting patient—sharp-tongued, impossible to control, and always one step ahead of the staff. Every sarcastic remark, every broken rule, and every act of defiance is another brick in the walls she's built around herself. Then Amari Ripens arrives. Cold. Unreadable. Just as impossible to intimidate. Instead of avoiding Y/n like everyone else, he challenges her. Their constant sarcasm turns into silent understanding, and before either of them realizes it, they're depending on each other to survive life inside Blackwood's locked halls. Protective glances become unspoken promises. Shared silence becomes comfort. And the walls between them begin to crumble. But Blackwood is hiding secrets that don't belong in patient files. As strange disappearances, conflicting memories, and forbidden wings of the hospital blur the line between reality and paranoia, Y/n and Amari must decide who they can trust—including themselves. In a place where every mind is questioned, the most dangerous thing they can do... is believe each other.
