Main character: Arin Vale Age: 17

Mira Solen
The girl who remembers too much
Arin's former classmate. In his first life, they barely spoke. In his second, she begins asking questions that make no sense unless she knows what happened to him.

The perfect rival
Brilliant, popular, and disciplined. Cassian seems to have everything Arin lacked. But he is hiding a secret that connects to the strange circumstances of Arin's second life.
Kyle Alexander
Age 17 • The transfer student • Arin's unexpected ally
Kyle is clever, sarcastic, observant, and almost impossible to read. He doesn't believe in second chances because, according to him, people never truly change.
He wasn't Arin's best friend in the previous timeline. In fact, Arin barely knew him. Yet Kyle seems strangely interested in Arin's sudden transformation.
