WanderingAlice
When the world has gone gray, it only takes one lost soul to bring back the color.
Rohan Arcwell has everything-wealth, power, and a reputation as the untouchable genius behind the world's most influential tech empire. But for years, life has felt colourless, his days a never-ending cycle of achievement without meaning. Love, friendship, and victory all blend to gray-until, on a stormy night, he discovers a battered, silent stranger near his gate.
Rence is a boy shaped by shadows and silence. Forced to survive a world that never showed him mercy, Rence has learned to trust no one and say nothing. With trauma-induced mutism and a heart wary as a feral cat, he expects nothing but coldness from the world-until Rohan refuses to turn him away.
As Rohan takes Rence into his home, their unlikely connection becomes a lifeline for them both. In the hush between them, Rohan finds himself willing to wait, to protect, to heal-and maybe to hope again. But as Rence's hidden past slowly comes to light, both must confront what it means to find sanctuary not just in silence, but in each other.
