"Gathering Blue" follows Kira, a girl with a gift for weaving, as she uncovers her society's hidden truths. "Messenger" connects these worlds through Matty, who seeks to bring hope and change. Finally, "Son" ties the narratives together through the journey of a young girl searching for her mother and reclaiming her identity. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
