Aria 🥀
She arrived with a secret - a past so painful she buried it deep beneath a quiet exterior. Aria's heart is a fortress, and she's its only resident, terrified of the ghosts that linger and the love that might tear her walls down. Having survived trauma, trust feels like a weapon she can't afford to give away. But beneath the silence is an unbreakable spirit searching for a safe place to belong.
"Trust is a weapon that was used against me once. I'm not ready to hand it to you."
"I learned to build walls, but with you, I'm finding the courage to open the doors."

Shivansh Rawat ❤️🩹
He's the protector - confident, calm, and the steady presence who sees the cracks in her facade. Determined to prove that not all people are meant to hurt, Shivansh wants to be more than just her shield - he wants to be her home. But can he convince her to let him in before her past catches up?
"Then let me earn it. Let me show you that love isn't a weapon, it's a shield."
"They say some hearts are meant to be broken. I say some are just waiting to be healed."
