WARNING

This story is rated mature for the following reasons:

Graphic Depictions of Violence
Strong Language
Talk of Self-harm and Suicide
Severe Mental Illness
Dark Themes

The book itself circulates around characters suffering from severe depression and anxiety and how these illnesses affect their loved ones.

Note that Mental illness does not result in violent behavior. I do not condone violence nor encourage acting on thoughts of self-harm if you are struggling in that aspect.

Please know your limits in reading.

For reference, the characters are aged up. The canon age of characters are 16 according to bulbapedia when they attended ranger school. For all expanse of this story, we are treating the ranger school as a college, thus the character attended it around ~18. And since this is post operation Brighton by 5 years, Kate is 23.

Genre: Introspective. 
According to Wattpad's official fanfic code, introspective genre means fanfiction where emotions and thoughts of the characters are the most important thing.

Written between March 1st to May 29th.
