In a small town, childhood friends Noah and Lily shared an unbreakable bond, supported by Noah's family after Lily's mother became a single parent. As they grew older, Noah confessed his love, but Lily, eager to explore beyond their town, couldn't reciprocate. She left for high school, forgetting Noah over time, while he clung to memories, hoping she'd return.
Tragedy struck when Noah's mother passed away, plunging him into depression. Lily returned to comfort him, but Noah, unable to face her, asked for time to heal alone. With a heavy heart, Lily left, understanding that Noah needed to find his own path to happiness.
