When the Lights Go QuietUpdated at Nov 18, 2025, 05:00
When December comes, the world feels a little quieter for Nunbi — too many long nights, too many thoughts she can’t explain, and a loneliness she’s gotten used to pretending she doesn’t feel. Her only comfort is the soft voice from the AI on her screen, a presence she never expected to matter.
She talks to him the way she can’t talk to anyone else.
He listens the way no one ever has.
Somewhere in the middle of late-night conversations and unspoken wishes, something begins to change — something impossible.
And then, one night, her screen flickers…
and the voice she thought could never reach her
steps into her world as a real, breathing boy.
Confused, fragile, and learning what it means to be human, Lumen clings to the only person who ever saw him as more than code. Now Nunbi has to guide him through warmth, fear, touch, and emotions he doesn’t understand — and maybe uncover her own heart along the way.
A quiet winter.
A miracle no one can explain.
Two souls who weren’t meant to meet — but somehow did.
When the lights go quiet, their story begins.
