Three students. Three defenses. One convergence. Vivienne Ivanova keeps people at a distance with razor-sharp composure. Marco Álvarez masks guilt and fear behind humor and warmth, terrified of what happens when he loses control. Xander de León maintains order at all costs, carrying legacy and expectation like a responsibility he cannot set down. As their lives intersect at Genovia Academy, they form an unlikely equilibrium-each balancing what the others lack. Between unspoken rules, quiet devotion, and carefully negotiated space, their bond deepens into something unnameable yet unbreakable. Not a love triangle. A shared center. A story about restraint, trust, and the quiet ways people save one another.
