Containment fractures. Resonance sharpens. Some truths refuse to stay theoretical.

Ink stains. Masks crack. Nothing stays erased.

"The Hum" Chapter 11 Preview

Ink in the margins. A body braced too tight. A room that notices everything she refuses to name.

Truth doesn’t always arrive gently. Sometimes it stains the page.

Chapter 11 drops TOMORROW. (Containment fractures. Resonance sharpens.)

Got Harry Potter socks. Gave them the Dramione treatment. I guess they’ll have to study my brain now.

Chapter 10 is Posted!

If you’re catching up slowly this week — Chapter 10 is waiting.

Quiet. Uncomfortable. Necessary.

Chapter 10 is Live

✨ Chapter 10 is live.

This chapter lives in the space between control and response — where containment starts to strain, and something quieter but truer pushes through.

The Brain Room listens. Hermione tries not to.

“Every fracture was a kind of opening.”

📖 Read Chapter 10 here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/73744076/chapters/200025061

Thank you for reading, especially in a week that asks so much of us. 🤍

Still thinking about Chapter 10. About what happens when the body responds before the mind allows it.

“Containment fractures when you deny the response.”
