Twelve-year-old Carl stood near the bustling airport terminal, gripping the handle of his brand-new suitcase. The strap of his sleek backpack dug into his shoulder as he took a deep breath, watching travelers rush past him. He had made his decision. After years of enduring the taunts and jeers of his two older half-brothers, he couldn't take it anymore. Their constant bullying had finally pushed him over the edge. But deep down, Carl knew it wasn't just that. There was something else pulling him away from his dad's house, a feeling he couldn't quite name. It lingered at the edge of his thoughts, undeniable yet difficult to face. No matter how hard he tried to ignore it, the truth was there, nudging him toward this moment-his journey back to his mom. Come closer-let's see where Carl's story takes him from here.

This is about the third one." --- Angel Young is going to die. Or at least he thought so. But when he prepares himself for the fall of the 7 stories, he gets a strange call that suddenly stops him. Haruki Nakamura is going to die. Or at least he plans on it. But right when he looks down the face of his open bedroom window, he decides to give life one last shot to keep him around. When a wrong call to the right person turns both of the boys' deteriorating lives towards each other, they make a pact to put off their deaths for one year in a last promise they will give their world one more chance before saying goodbye.

Things I Shouldn't Want is a queer slow-burn about two teens on the run - not just from a brutal police state that erases anyone who doesn't fit, but from everything they've been told to be. Lee knows how to stay quiet. Ryder knows how to pass. But when their worlds collide, something sparks - something confusing, magnetic, and impossible to name. They have a broken map, fading rumors of safety, and each other. As they flee across borders and backroads, attraction tangles with fear. Identity unravels. And the question becomes: Can you fall for someone when you're not even sure who you are? This is a story about danger and tenderness. About what it means to be seen - and what it costs to survive.
