What if you were created just for the purpose of replacing someone if they were to die? In The Lost Girl, technological advances have made it possible for people to create a replica of someone, an alternate version of their loved ones called Echoes to take their place when they die. After studying Amarra for 15 years, Eva must move to India to take her place when she dies in a car accident. This story explores not only what it’s like to lose part of yourself, but to hold space for other people’s grief.
