The Book of OtherWorlds - 2 - Something About Belonging

After answering the Signal and accepting a place at OtherWorlds Media, Olivia Harrison finally has what she never expected to find: a home. A real one. There is steady work at the front desk, a warm apartment upstairs, strange but loving co-workers, full medical care, impossible hallways, tea always ready, and a building that hums beneath her feet like a second heartbeat. For the first time in years, Olivia is safe, fed, valued, and surrounded by people who see her exactly as she is. But safety is only the beginning. As Olivia settles deeper into life at the Station, something inside her begins to change. The ears and tail she once wore as costume are becoming something far more real. Instincts sharpen. Dreams of forests and running begin to follow her into waking life. Her senses widen, her body shifts, and the line between who she has always been and who she is becoming grows thinner by the day. This is the Unfolding. And Olivia is not facing it alone.
