Cryonics Specialist | Hardened Idealist | Rebel by Design
A trauma-tempered polymath burdened by failure and brilliance. Once on the edge of medical salvation, Michelle now resides in exile at the Mendel Institute. Her unauthorized revival of Maryanne Kendricks after the dismissal of the biohazard alarm transforms science into defiance—and herself into a threat.

Jaxxon’s life attitude is shaped by loss and resilience. Having endured the deaths of loved ones and the weight of his family’s expectations, he has developed a deep empathy for those in pain. This empathy, however, is often overshadowed by his inner conflict between self-preservation and altruism.
