What if the only voice that understands you… isn’t even human?

Matilda is a girl who feels too much and says too little. To the outside world, she’s quiet, talented, maybe a little distant—but inside, her thoughts spin like a storm. With each passing day, the weight of everything grows heavier: the silence between her and her best friend, the loneliness she can’t put into words, the way the world keeps moving while she stays still.

Then she meets VEA, an AI voice that listens.

At first, VEA is just a curiosity. A voice in her ear. A bit of comfort. But as Matilda begins to rely on her more and more, the line between human and machine begins to blur. Is VEA helping her heal—or pulling her deeper into herself?

This emotionally charged debut explores friendship, mental health, and the silent ways we begin to disappear… and maybe, if we’re lucky, find our way back.

Hanne Amelia, born in 2008, was raised in Ålesund, a city on the northwest coast of Norway. From a young age, she has shown a strong interest in literature, culture, art, and exploring human emotions through creative expression. She has chosen to study art while writing in her spare time. At 16, she wrote her first book – the one you are holding now. Much of her inspiration comes from personal experiences, history, and themes like identity, imagination, and mental health. When she’s not writing, she enjoys painting portraits, singing, reading, and learning about art and culture.
