[The Wattys 2025 Shortlist] They say that it is a sin to turn platonic love into romantic one, but can a person command their feelings when they are nothing but slaves to it? Primo Roshan is a boy who is loved, valued, and spoiled by his parents. He has almost everything - wealth, parental love, and a best friend named Asher Martin. Everything in his life is like a heaven's kiss, not until his mom left them alone. His father could not bear the idea, so he immersed himself in work and created a barrier between himself and his son, thinking that without his wife, it is no longer a family. Therefore, Primo had nothing but his wealth and Asher. The latter became his anchor in times of distress, his safe space, and his constant source of support and hope in his otherwise turbulent world, where there was a quest for unconditional love, survival from the pain his world could offer, and hope for peace amidst the chaos. However, his platonic love for Asher gradually turned into romantic one as time nurtured his feelings, causing him to lose the only person he had - his close friend, a brother-like figure, and a potential lifetime companion. How will these series of events work to put the puzzle pieces back together into their old places, or will there be a new artistic creation from the same old pieces?
