To escape this harsh reality, Nica crafts imaginative tales featuring the Tearsmith, a supernatural entity responsible for manifesting the anxieties and fears residing in our hearts.

A glimmer of hope arises when Nica is adopted, but her newfound family has also taken in another orphan, Rigel, a mysterious and troubled soul. Nica grapples with conflicting emotions towards Rigel, who will ultimately play a crucial role in shaping her future.
