He created the trends in Hillcrest Memorial and roamed the halls in confidence: he was also the person who brought all of his five, trustworthy friends together. Nora had enough. Hero had it all. But what if 'enough' was no longer sufficient? What if Hero's 'all' became too much? What if their all was never enough? Achievements: #7 in Heartbreak #5 in Badboy #10 in Trauma
