Stillness.
Gael Ardent was three years old the day the world decided something was wrong with him.
He didn’t cry when the doctor pricked his skin. He didn’t smile when his mother sang to him. He didn’t call out when his father left the room. To everyone else, Gael was empty—a quiet child with eyes that saw everything but revealed nothing.
Diagnosed with Alexithymia, Gael grows up in a world obsessed with feelings he cannot share. His mother’s endless attempts to reach him, his father’s quiet disappointment, the whispers of strangers who call him “strange”—he notices them all but does not understand why they hurt.
As he moves through life, Gael becomes an observer of humanity’s most fragile moments: love, loss, and the secrets people bury beneath their smiles. And when tragedy strikes, forcing him into the center of a web of grief and suspicion, Gael must confront the one thing he has never known—what it truly means to feel.
Stillness is a haunting blend of romance, tragedy, and suspense, told through the eyes of a boy who cannot name what stirs inside him… until it’s almost too late.
