After being kidnapped as a child and raised away from his family, Sonic is reunited with his siblings - but the scars of his past still haunt him. Now sixteen and starting at a new school, Sonic is sarcastic, unpredictable, and guarded, struggling with BPD, ADHD, disordered eating, and past trauma that no one truly understands.
Except maybe Shadow.
As Shadow begins to see through Sonic's sharp edges, the two are drawn together in a quiet, secret romance - one built on patience, fierce loyalty, and a desire to help Sonic heal. But as Sonic's inner battles grow heavier and old wounds reopen, even love might not be enough to save him... unless he's ready to start saving himself, too.
