Akk got expelled from Suppalo. He went to the cliffs to try to commit suicide but was stopped by a mute woman. Years later Akk is living under a new name with new friends and a new view of the world. Akk got into trouble with the law with his group of friends. He was betrayed by a man he thought he could trust. None of that mattered he couldn't get rid of the memories of Suppalo. The memories of Kan Wat and Thua. The memories of Ayan. But now that Ayan had found him again at a ROL protest he felt his world crumbling. All his old fears and insecurities that he had repressed were back on the surface.

Yok has always been somewhat jealous of his brother Akk. Ever since they were kids Yok was always in trouble with his parents or his teachers. Yok was always out of the dress code, vandalizing things, and stealing. By the time Yok was 16 he got arrested for vandalism and his parents gave him a choice. He could either change his ways or he would get kicked out. So he left and didn't try to keep in contact with anyone but Akk. Akk never got into much trouble. He had gotten into some fights but it was never extreme. The day Yok left him Akk promised himself that he would never be like Yok. He swore he'd follow the rules and be the best student. He did his best to ignore Yok's constant calls and texts but when his boyfriend Ayan found out about it everything went to hell.
