Publisher's Synopsis
From the first heartbeat to the final breath, humanity is never truly alone. We are a species of dependence-each life woven tightly into others through unseen contracts of care, need, and compromise.
In this introspective and haunting tale, the human creature is revealed not as a sovereign entity, but as a living pact: a symbiotic being in constant negotiation with others-lovers and enemies, tools and toxins, nature and memory. Every touch leaves an imprint. Every attachment, a cost.
