WTNC: Side Characters

A President and a Vice President arranged for each other...

A Police Detective and an Engineer who are each other first and last...

An Architect and a Doctor who are finally in love...

And an Author who betrayed himself...

They were always there, woven into the fabric of the story, present in the moments that mattered, shaping the world around them without ever being at its center.

Their voices were heard, their lives visible, but always slightly out of focus, as if their stories were meant to support, never to lead. And yet, beneath the surface, their hearts carried stories just as heavy, just as worthy.

Longings that went unspoken, battles fought in silence, love that waited without asking to be seen. They stood just behind the light, close enough to touch it, but never bathed in it. Until now.

Now, the quiet is over. Now, the story bends toward them, not as side characters or shadows, but as the beating heart of what was always there.

This time, they are not part of someone else's journey. This time, the journey is theirs.
