All New Cells

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE PERSON YOU LOVED MOST WON’T ALLOW YOU TO BE WHO YOU REALLY ARE?

When Nils's ex-girlfriend dies suddenly, he is dragged back into a toxic online roleplay scene he swore he'd never return to. He'd been doing okay sticking to his seven-year plan for getting over their breakup - but now, everyone either blames him or expects him to have answers, and he's getting nasty anonymous messages that might be coming from beyond the grave. A nuanced examination of identity, trauma, assault, grief, and mental health through an online world.
