    Summary

    After losing everything he thought gave his life meaning, Rin Itoshi sinks into a silent war with himself. He is trapped in a cycle of depression, disconnection, and thoughts he can’t outrun. With his brother gone, his worth questioned, and his own dreams unraveling, Rin retreats into the kind of loneliness that feels permanent, but sometimes, healing doesn’t start with hope. It starts with someone sitting beside you in the dark. With quiet rooftop moments. With a cookie you didn’t ask for. With a stranger who reminds you that your pain is real, and that you still matter, even if you don’t believe it yet.

    This is a slow, aching journey of learning to live with yourself, of finding small reasons to stay, and of being loved back to life by people who choose you, especially when you can’t choose yourself.

    (Chapter 1 is now beta read and yea hopefully you all can enjoy it 💕💕)
