Aiko Mizuhara is a sixteen-year-old high school girl living in Tokyo who has grown distant from the world after her parents' divorce. She tries to hide her loneliness and anxiety behind good grades, a clean home, and the image of a perfect daughter, but inside, she is slowly falling apart. As Aiko and Ren begin crossing paths at school and in everyday life, Ren's warmth slowly reaches the parts of Aiko that she has kept hidden for years. Through friendship, trust, and eventually love, Aiko begins learning that she doesn't have to carry her pain alone. But healing is not simple. Both of them must confront the memories, fears, and losses that continue to shape their lives-and discover whether two broken hearts can help each other find their way back to happiness.

Cleo Anderson would rather jump off a cliff than ever have anything to do with her ex-best friend, Aster Blackwood. Once inseparable, their relationship has now become almost nonexistent. While Cleo's life orbits around the beauty of figure skating, Aster's world is a cold, precise one centered around being a chess prodigy. Their contrasting worlds only pull them further apart. They both claim they hate each other. Or maybe Cleo does. But Aster? His feelings for her are teetering on the edge of madness. --- After a trap set by both their parents, Cleo finds herself once again in the house of her worst enemy. Instead of the confrontation she expects, Cleo is met with his death-and the weight of every word left unsaid. Granted a second chance by Death itself, Cleo must save the boy she once knew from a path of destruction, all while slowly dying herself. ---- Warning: might make you cry by 2am in the morning, read at your own risk Updates every Wednesday and Saturday.
