Limited Edition Human

In a world where emotion is regulated, Cal has never had a reason to question it.Grief is managed.Joy is moderated.Anything that lingers too long gets erased.As an analyst, Cal's job is to keep people stable. Observe. Correct. Move on.It's clean. Controlled. Predictable.Until one case breaks the pattern.A woman whose grief won't fade.A question that shouldn't exist.A moment that doesn't resolve.Do you ever feel anything?What follows is small at first, a delay, a sensation, a memory that doesn't behave.Then it spreads.A taste that shouldn't exist.A signal beneath the noise.A hidden world where feeling hasn't been erased… just buried.And once something real breaks through, it doesn't ask permission to stay.Now the system is watching.And Cal is no longer invisible.To feel is to risk everything.To suppress it is to disappear.There is no safe version of being human.Limited Edition Human is a cyberpunk-inflected sci-fi novella about emotional suppression, quiet rebellion, and the dangerous idea that being human might be worth the risk.
