Summary
In the digital prison of the Circus, survival is a performance—and no one wears their mask tighter than Jax. Snide, cruel, and always ready with a cutting remark, he keeps everyone at arm’s length. That way, no one can see the chaos clawing at him from the inside.
But when an ill-fated trial cracks his defenses wide open, Jax finds himself exposed in ways he never wanted. To his horror, Pomni—the newest member of the Circus—sees more than she should. Instead of turning away, she stays. Patient. Steady. Too kind for someone like him.
What begins as reluctant companionship spirals into something far riskier: trust, vulnerability, maybe even something like love. Yet every step closer threatens to unravel the walls Jax has spent so long building. And in a world where losing control means abstracting—becoming a monster—Jax has to decide whether letting himself be seen is worth the danger.
A story of masks and cracks, cruelty and compassion, Don’t Leave Me Here is a slow-burn tale of survival, self-destruction, and the terrifying possibility of being cared for anyway.
