Cigarettes, lilac skies and poetry at 3am: sixteen-year-old Pietro ''Pit'' Rossi knows the adrenaline of feeling empty and infinite at the same time. With the reputation of a goofy idiot who doesn't care about anything at all, getting held back at school doesn't seem like a problem. But it is. Because Pit cares about everything, and he always cares too much. [[word count: 70,000-80,000 words]]

The only life Lilia was familiar with was the one with her sister, Adeline. They spent every waking moment together since their individual births, to the extent where a life without any of them beside each other seemed impossible. It was the typical sisterly stuff, of course, until Lilia found herself alone with her parents - parents who hardly cared about her, almost as if she didn't exist - with no sign of Adeline anywhere in her life. There were only the memories of her, but her unexpected death wiped away any possibility of a future with her, and to Lilia, nothing was more heartbreaking than that. For Andrey, however, the case was entirely opposite. He had a brother, and once they'd been as inseparable as brothers were, but then there was a period in the past that marked their emotional separation until they were strangers living under one roof, and that's when his death happened: unexpected and tragic beyond words. What it left behind were not happy memories, but painful ones, the kind that reminded Andrey how much he had lost and which filled him with guilt over not fixing things between them when he had the chance. To run away from the depressing conditions at home, both Andrey and Lilia end up at the same place without knowing. Bonded by their grief and the love for their lost ones, they both find themselves on a journey of acceptance and making peace with the treasury of memories stored deep in their hearts and minds, but above all, a journey of finding happiness in each other.
