In the stillness of a classroom, Neomisia realises she no longer fits. Nearing the end of adolescence, the world around her hardens into something stark and homogeneous, leaving little room for someone split between two cultures. Guided by a ritual shaped by her parents, each rooted in their own heritage, she steps into the forest. It becomes a threshold between languages, between selves. There, in a world composed of memory, myth and fragmentation, she unknowingly summons Neo, a figure both mirror and myth, familiar yet untouchable. What follows is an unravelling of identity, where the question is no longer who she should be but what it means to belong at all.
