Nadia, Sera, Y/N and Theo enter a facility for a "study." Over months, staff slowly convince Nadia and Sera they're enemies, not sisters, while eroding Nadia's art skills into crippling insecurity and turning Sera cruel through reward-conditioning ā physically aging Sera into a blind, balding old man and shifting Nadia into an insecure boy with hair so long he can barely walk. Theo's quiet certainty is contradicted until he loses trust in his own thoughts, and he's slowly reshaped ā mentally and physically ā into a loud, opinionated little girl with blonde pigtails. None of them remember the change happening.
During a raid on an Umbrella facility, Leon discovers Y/N an experimental subject created as a living weapon through genetic fusion with crow DNA, granting her massive black wings and the ability to fly. Instead of a dangerous bioweapon, however, he finds a frightened, malnourished young woman who has endured years of abuse and isolation, convinced that everyone who comes near her will eventually hurt her. As the facility collapses around them, Leon chooses to protect her and get her out alive, even as she struggles to trust him. What begins as a rescue mission becomes something deeper: a fight not only for survival, but for Y/Nās right to exist beyond what Umbrella made her to be.
Two teenagersāY/N, a human, and Kaelith, a Thaloryn boyāare kidnapped and forcibly transformed into each other's species.

Hope gains three voices in her head; Kaelith loses his and is left in crushing silence. Only together can they survive.
A government-funded research initiative called The Exchange Program recruits 100 volunteers aged 12ā18 (50 male, 50 female). Each undergoes a medical procedure that fully transitions their bodies to the opposite sex ā hormones, anatomy, secondary characteristics, everything. The transformation is reversible after five years, but the process is painful, disorienting, and psychologically brutal.
Two humans and two Verath. One exchange. No way back. Y/N and Eli are brought to an underwater facility where they spend two months living alongside their Verath pairs ā Calla and Ori ā as their bodies and minds are slowly rewritten into something new. Calla spends the whole time asking Y/N about the life she is about to take. She never thinks to ask how Y/N feels about losing it. The Verath have no empathy. It is simply not in them. Until it is.
