It's 2005. Azrael moves through a world that often seems too noisy, too fast, too foreign. Around her, people live, talk, laugh... but she always feels like she's watching it all from afar, as if through a window. Her thoughts become her only true territory. A dark and dense place where she takes refuge, accompanied by the music on her old MP3 player. And then there's Finn. Her brother's best friend. Always around. Always too close, or perhaps not close enough. Between them, something hangs... a silent tension, a disturbing attraction that neither of them can truly name. As the silence of her inner world grows heavier, Azrael must confront a question she can no longer escape: How can she keep moving forward when she feels like she's slowly disappearing? An intimate and melancholic novel about loneliness, the thoughts we hide, and the unexpected connections that can crack the walls we build around ourselves.
