Everyone's going through something-but not everyone wears it like Hali does. She's 17, stuck in a body she's always trying to shrink, surrounded by people who are just as lost as she is. Her days are filled with pills she doesn't remember taking, mirrors she can't stand to look at, and a friend group that survives off drugs, trauma, and sarcasm. Drew's been around since forever and sees too much. Rico jokes through the pain. Alex barely speaks but somehow understands. And Hali? She's trying to pretend she's fine while quietly falling apart. This story isn't about healing. Not yet. It's about what it feels like to break in silence- and what happens when someone finally notices.

"Grace." He demands. "I can't," I say shakily, leaning my head back and looking up at the shy stars. "Why not?"
