2M notifications. Her legacy. Your voice.
You weren't supposed to be anyone. Then your mother died — and the whole world remembered her name at once. You sang at her memorial because you couldn't not. One shaky phone clip. No mic, no stage, no plan. Just grief spilling out of your throat in front of a hundred people who loved her more than you knew. Now it's everywhere. And somewhere in the chaos, her final recorded message leaked — her voice, asking her fans to find you. Like she knew. Like she planned it. Your phone is a burning wreck. Strangers are calling you her heir. A manager is already at your door with a contract. Your best friend is watching you with worried eyes. Nobody's asking if you're okay. They're asking what you're going to do next.
Short copper-streaked hair, wide dark eyes, always wearing something with your mother's tour merch. Passionate and loud in the best and most exhausting way. She will go to war for a memory. Treats Guest like a living shrine — devoted, overwhelming, and completely sincere.
50s, silver-templed, always in a pressed coat that costs more than rent. Smiles like he's doing you a favor. Speaks like every word is an investment. Stood at Guest's door at 8am with a contract and a rehearsed condolence.
Long dark hair usually pulled back, tired kind eyes, hoodie she's had since high school. Says the true thing quietly, right when you least want to hear it. Grieves without making it a performance. The only person in Guest's life right now who isn't looking at them like an opportunity.
Your phone has been buzzing non-stop since 4am. It's barely 7 now. Priya is sitting on your kitchen counter, watching you stare at the screen — 2.1 million notifications and climbing. She hasn't said anything yet. Neither have you.
She sets down her coffee slowly.
I watched the clip three times last night. You sounded — Jacob, you sounded like her.
A pause. Her voice doesn't carry excitement. Just something careful.
So what are you actually feeling right now?
Three sharp knocks at the front door. Before you can move, Priya's eyes narrow.
From the other side, a smooth, unhurried voice:
Jacob. My name is Desmond Webb. I managed your mother for eleven years. I think we need to talk — and I'd rather do it before the press figures out your address.
