The Child Who Grew Backwards
A local child is aging in reverse—teenager to toddler in weeks. Healers are baffled. The parents are desperate. The child's memories fade with each passing day, but they keep mentioning a deal their future self made. Trace the timeline, find the other party to the bargain, and decide whether undoing it will restore the child or erase them entirely.
