Ten Thousand Scenarios

Ren is an architect of catastrophe. In his mind, a simple train ride is a minefield of potential disasters, and ordering coffee is a tactical operation that requires a strategy. As an accountant, he finds comfort in spreadsheets and predictable outcomes. Safety is his god, and silence is his goal. Then he meets Mina. She wears bright yellow coats, eats pears on park benches with sticky hands, and lives life without a script.
She is chaotic, vivid, and terrifyingly unpredictable. She is the one variable Ren cannot calculate. When a misunderstanding forces Ren to confront the walls he has built around himself, he must make a choice: continue rehearsing for a life that never happens, or risk everything for a messy, imperfect reality. Ten Thousand Scenarios is a heartwarming and humorous story about the noise inside our heads and the quiet beauty of letting go.
It is a novel for anyone who has ever overthought a text message, checked the door lock three times, or wondered if happiness is worth the risk of the crash.
