cold lungs

rowan and levi are two nineteen-year old's living separate lives. they've grown up in new york city and at a young age experience the onset of depression that leads them through the rest of their lives. rowan grows up, clinging onto other children, growing an obsession with other people, to where he always wanted to touch them and be around them. as time went on, it became worse and he ended up getting in trouble and was left feeling like he did not belong and only had an increased sexual urge for other people. meanwhile, levi grew up with a relatively happy childhood, but following the death of his mom he spiraled down into a deep depression, unable to face the reality that he lost the person he loved the most. because his sister was like his mother, he found himself falling for his own sister because she was like her. eventually, he developed a persona where he tried to be anybody but himself around whoever he could fit in with so he would not have to face the depression that plagued his mind. the two end up meeting in a mental health facility, which causes them to become closer in the worst possible setting.
