Part I - The Negative

Evelyn Cross restores the past for a living - piecing together torn photographs and fading memories - but some things were never meant to be repaired. Twelve years ago, her twin sister Lena vanished in a fire that destroyed their family home. No remains were ever found, only a scorched photograph where Lena's face should have been.

Now, strange distortions haunt Evelyn's work. Old negatives ripple when touched. Shadows breathe inside the photographs. And when she develops a picture of her and Lena, the image starts to move - eyes flickering open, lips curving into a smile that isn't hers.

Haunted by fragmented memories and violent migraines, Evelyn turns to Dr. Simon Hale, a neurologist fascinated by the fractures in her mind. Her brain scans show something impossible - a second pattern of memories woven into her own. When Marcus Vale, an urban explorer, discovers footage of the burned Cross house that captures a reflection of Lena alive, the boundary between memory and reality begins to collapse.

Drawn back to the ruins of her childhood home, Evelyn finds herself trapped between what she remembers and what remembers her. The walls whisper. Mirrors breathe. And in the burned fragments of her past, something is waiting - something that wears her sister's smile but moves like a reflection out of sync.

As Evelyn unravels the truth about the night of the fire, she realizes the real horror isn't that Lena might be dead - it's that she might have survived in a form that shouldn't exist.

Because in Fragment, memory is not a record.
It's a door.
And once you open it, you can never close it again.
