CitrusMae
At midnight, in the forgotten corner of a coastal university, a vending machine glitches-and connects two people who were never meant to meet.
Mira Song, a grieving physics student haunted by silence and loss, stumbles upon a machine that offers more than just drinks. Bottles labeled with strange flavors and cryptic notes begin appearing-each one signed simply, E.
Ezra Lian, a creative writing major isolated by betrayal, finds solace in scribbling letters into the void. When someone finally replies, everything changes.
Bound by grief and curiosity, Mira and Ezra form a fragile connection through nightly exchanges, never seeing each other's face-only reading what the other dares to write. As the machine bridges two versions of the same campus from parallel worlds, their messages become lifelines.
But what happens when the lines between dimensions blur?
When names are still hidden, and the clock is always ticking?
When five minutes is all they have?
A soft, melancholic romance about parallel lives, unseen healing, and the beauty of being heard.
If you could write to someone across the stars-and they wrote back-would you keep replying?
