Rebecca has learned how to function.
What she hasn’t learned is how to feel safe.

After her mother’s death, Rebecca’s carefully balanced life begins to fracture in quiet, unsettling ways. Sleepless nights, intrusive memories, and a growing sense of dread follow her through classes, friendships, and routines that once felt familiar. As grief seeps into every corner of her life, Rebecca turns to therapy, journals left behind, and the fragile comfort of connection to understand what is happening inside her.

What begins as mourning slowly reveals something deeper. Truths about her past that refuse to stay buried, and pain that has shaped her far longer than she realized. As Rebecca confronts memories she was never meant to carry alone, she must decide whether survival is enough—or if healing requires facing what she’s spent years avoiding.

Exponential Decay is a quiet, unflinching exploration of grief, trauma, and the slow unraveling that comes before understanding. It is a story about what happens when the life you’ve built begins to erode and the courage it takes to sit with what remains.
