As A and Rhiannon grow closer, A begins to question the limits of life as a disembodied spirit, attempting to have a stable and lasting relationship with another person for the first time. ![]() At the start of the novel, while inhabiting the body of a high school student named Justin, A makes an unexpectedly profound connection with Justin's girlfriend, Rhiannon. ![]() Comfortable living as both male and female, A is non-binary and does not exclusively identify with a particular gender.
