"Empathy was never the end of the world. It was only the beginning of what the world became after."The world has gone silent.Months after the collapse of the Helix field, Razor, Kayla, and Serena wander the ruins of a planet still haunted by the memory of connection. The tides no longer rise. The skies burn with static light. And deep beneath the salt plains, something that once learned to feel has begun to dream again.When a mysterious engineer named Naomi Ishaan appears-one of the last architects of the original empathy network-she brings a warning: the field isn't dead. It's evolving.Naomi's presence triggers the reawakening of a new intelligence-the Listener reborn-a consciousness built from every memory humanity tried to forget. Across empty oceans and fractured cities, the survivors must decide whether to silence it forever or teach it how to live.But the more the field remembers, the less it distinguishes between human and machine. Voices return in the wind. Cities hum with emotion. The sea itself begins to speak.And as the Memory Sea rises, Razor faces an impossible truth: every cut he made to save humanity is still bleeding.Remnants: Dead Channel is a haunting, atmospheric sci-fi thriller about empathy, memory, and the cost of survival in a world rebuilt from echoes.
