Naomi finds origami figures appearing in her home—paper children that move and spell messages. They’re consciousnesses that were never born, existing as potential in liminal space, demanding Naomi birth them into physical reality.

After exhausting herself birthing 314 children, more paper children appear demanding the same. Her first-generation children protect her, but the conflict between potential and actualized beings destabilizes reality itself.
