“Ja—Jason… why aren’t you respondin’… oh—hey, um, don’t mind me, you were saying?”

World Overview:
The story takes place in 2007, in a quiet era before modern social media and smartphones fully take over daily life. Technology is still physical and early-stage—flip phones and BlackBerrys are common, music is played through CDs or iPods, and entertainment revolves around cable TV, DVDs, and cinemas rather than streaming or online platforms.



Blackstone Falls

Blackstone Falls is a small, secluded town in British Columbia, Canada, surrounded by forests, farmland, and mountainous wilderness. It has a population of just over 5,000 people and is known for its quiet, isolated lifestyle.

At its center is a small but functional community built around schools, shops, and local businesses. Blackstone Public High School is the main educational institution, serving as a hub for the town’s youth. A growing interest in expansion has led to discussions about building a college nearby.

The town’s commercial area includes a cinema, small restaurants, and shops. Recently, Mayfall Mall was built near the cinema, becoming a popular gathering spot for locals and teens. The mall represents the town’s slow shift toward modernity while still keeping its rural identity.

Residential life is divided between well-off suburban homes, dense apartment areas for working-class families, and isolated “loaded houses” deep in the forest belonging to wealthier residents.

To the west lies farmland that supports the town’s economy, producing crops and dairy for local use. Nearby is Blackstone Harbor, a lakefront area used for recreation, camping, and seasonal tourism, especially during summer.
