To feel nothing is a superpower—until it becomes a curse. A man whose life is defined by physical labor and emotional detachment begins to notice a change. The calluses on his hands, earned from a lifetime of hard work, are no longer just dead skin. They are growing. Spreading. Becoming a permanent, unfeeling armor.
At first, it seems like a blessing—a shield against a painful world. But when the numbness begins to creep inward, hardening not just his flesh but his heart and soul, he realizes the horrifying truth: he is not being protected, he is being replaced. To feel again, he must tear away the very thing that has kept him safe, in a confrontation more visceral than any pain he's ever known.
