Soft Erasure
Amber Vale wakes in a place built to look like mercy. Cream walls, cashmere she didn't buy, a wristband that scores how well she behaves. They call it recovery. They call the man who runs it her doctor. He watches. He conditions. He keeps his hand half an inch from her skin and never closes the distance, because a woman who is never touched is a woman who starts to beg for it. She has weeks to take the program apart before it takes her apart first.
The only thing more dangerous than the man who built the program is how badly she's started to want him to mean it.
