Medical Series #1
Redielle Mae Montefalco is a nursing student who has spent her life mastering the art of healing others. But inside her own chest, there is a wound that refuses to close, a hidden devotion for her best friend, Grae.
"Red is the color of passion, of blood, and of the heart. But when you love someone in the shadows for too long, that red starts to bleed out. It turns into a dull, aching neutral. Looking at Grae is like staring at a horizon I can never reach. We are trapped in this comfortable, suffocating middle ground. No 'us,' just 'we.' No love, just loyalty."
As the pressure of university life and the weight of "just friends" begin to take their toll, Mae realizes that her love isn't a fire anymore, it's exhaustion. She is starting to realize that she might just be the girl who stays by Grae's side, fading slowly, until they are both gray.
In the end, do we find our way home, or do we just get lost in the people who were never meant to keep us?
