I tell myself I'll cure it, that I can suppress it-because if I don't, it will consume me. Every step I take is survival, and every village I pass is just another reminder: I can only trust myself. Alone, I'm safe. Alone, I can't be betrayed. But fate doesn't care about my plans.

Kaylee, fierce and driven, hides her pain behind purpose. When their Captain is injured she was next in line, instead the Captancy goes to another. Viren meets the world with composure that feels unshakable-until Kaylee learns to read the flickers beneath it. Kaylee was never meant to follow; Viren was never taught to yield. Thrown together by duty, their every exchange sparks - irritation, defiance, and something they both pretend not to feel. Beneath Viren's controlled exterior lies a quiet storm of guilt and fear; beneath Kaylee's confidence, a loneliness she can't quite name. They clash because they care, even when neither will admit it. He hides behind command. She refuses to be silenced. She challenges his walls; he steadies her chaos.

By the time trust becomes second nature, it might already be too late to call it anything but love.
