Vani has been the steady one for as long as she can remember-raising her little sister, tending to a frail grandmother, and keeping the house together after her parents' divorce. Kairo, an orphan who grew up beside her, understands the language of loss without needing explanations. As they move from childhood into the messy, urgent world of high school, small acts of care become a lifeline: shared tea, late‑night rooftop talks, and the courage to let someone else shoulder the weight. This is a tender, realistic story about learning to ask for help, the slow bloom of love, and the everyday bravery of choosing each other again and again.
