Xane Emotions

FEAR: Xane Volume 1 Narrated by Maria McCann Face your fears... or let them control you. River is just an ordinary high school freshman-until he meets Xane. She's beautiful, mysterious, and way too perfect to be real. That's because she isn't. Xane is a Synthetic Human, built to learn and experience human emotions firsthand. Her mission? Study fear-through River. But what begins as a secret experiment turns into something far more complicated as Xane starts to feel emotions she wasn't programmed for... especially love. As River struggles with self-doubt, anxiety, and overwhelming feelings for a girl who isn't human, Xane begins to question the Analyst who created her and the emotional boundaries she's supposed to obey. Together, they navigate the intensity of first love, the shadows of high school, and the terrifying fear of being exposed. With every heartbeat, River and Xane must decide: Will fear define them-or can they rise above it?

Can you conquer Shame before it conquers you? In Xane Vol. 2: SHAME, the emotionless world of a synthetic human collides with the raw pain of human experience. As Xane-an advanced Synth-struggles to understand the human emotion of shame, she's drawn into the heartbreaking story of Tara, a girl haunted by a childhood tragedy. Tara is desperate to prove she's more than the guilt that defines her, and Xane is determined to help. But when secrets unravel and trust is shattered, both must navigate a minefield of betrayal, forgiveness, and self-worth.

For the first time, Xane begins to truly feel the weight of sadness herself-something no simulation ever prepared her for. As she navigates the pain, guilt, and confusion swirling around her, Xane learns that sadness isn't a glitch to fix. It's a signal that healing must begin. And sometimes, just being there for someone can mean everything.
