Chapter 2 - The Stitching Never Holds

Free

Church wakes up in pieces-literally. Organs taped and dignity long gone. His skeleton’s barely holding together, his home in ruins, and Emma’s staring like she’s about to have an existential crisis. Before either can come up with a plan, the sky tears open. Loukian crashes in on a broomstick with a gun and too much attitude. One blast later, the house is rubble - a confession Emma really didn’t want Church to hear, and a man with a pudding can for a head crawls out from under the rubble like it’s completely normal. Between a stapled skeleton, a furious shadow with a mouth, and a witch’s promise that could fix everything - or curse them worse - the gang’s uneasy road begins. Because in Play as a Human, nothing holds forever. Not skin. Not lies. Not love.

Church Champlain wanted nothing more than a quiet life, hiding in a forgotten cottage far from the Angelus who once called him captain. But when Emma and her friends stumble into his world — with their wooden swords, laughter, and a secret power that can cut shadows — peace shatters. A living nightmare rises from Church’s past, dragging them all into blood, betrayal, and a choice that can’t be undone.
