𝘕𝘰 𝘚𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘴 - A Five Hargreeves Story
Ciro Bianchi was never supposed to be anyone's hero.
Born into a family held together by smoke, noise, and survival, his life in the Bronx was already a battlefield - until gunshots on Christmas Eve ripped him out of everything he knew.
Now he's standing at the end of the world.
And across from him?
Five Hargreeves - a boy who blinked through time, learned how to outthink an apocalypse, and never expected another living person... especially someone like Ciro.
Five is quiet, sharp, and wired for strategy.
Ciro is loud, stubborn, and feels everything too deeply.
They don't match. They shouldn't work.
But the apocalypse doesn't care about compatibility.
Thrown together in an empty world, they'll have to learn how to trust each other - how to fight, how to stay alive, and how to make sense of the people they're slowly becoming.
Between the arguments, the uneasy loyalty, and the small moments that hit harder than they should, both boys are forced to confront the question they keep avoiding:
Can two broken kids survive the end of everything...
without breaking each other in the process?
A story about unlikely connections, chosen family, healing from the wreckage, and finding light in all the wrong places at the worst possible time.
