The First Thaw
By Gabriel Filippi · Interactive Visual Novel & Forensic Recovery Dossier.
📍 Beam of light in forest, 2025
“When I finally underwent ketamine therapy, I approached it not as an adventure, not as an escape, but as a gardener would approach a frozen plot of land—with patience, humility, and hope.”

NARRADOR: A shaft of warm sunlight cuts across the forest. Not an entire season — a window of thaw.
EU INTERIOR: In that window, the brain welcomes growth once more: dendrites, spines, synapses. The first spring in 27 years.
