In a city fueled by harvested grief, Q, a young man burdened by his past, uncovers a hidden ability to generate pure emotion, marking him as a Surface Leak. As the ancient Forgotten stir from the Salt Mines of Silence, Q is forced into the role of Leakbridge, a conduit between forgotten pain and future healing. Alongside allies Tasha and Whimper, Q confronts the Emotion Control Bureau and the emotionless Dry-Eyed, who threaten to erase all feeling. Embracing his tears, Q ignites an emotional revolution, awakening the city's suppressed heart and transforming its very essence. Comparable works include Divergent
