While It Lasts

Sebastian and Claire's story begins with a vibrant, chaotic love-a whirlwind romance that promised a future painted in the boldest hues. Their connection, a testament to their opposing natures, is swiftly shattered by a tragic accident. This seemingly singular event serves as a catalyst. What follows is a descent into the harrowing world of depression, an exploration of the insidious nature of mental illness, and the heartbreaking consequences of untreated trauma. This is not a tale of external villains or easily identifiable antagonists; the true adversary lies within Sebastian himself, in the battle he wages against his own demons. Claire, a meticulous planner and unwavering pillar of support, becomes a silent observer to Sebastian's self-destruction, her own emotional strength gradually eroding under the weight of his pain. Prepare to be drawn into the depths of human suffering, to experience the darkness and despair, and ultimately, to confront the profound questions surrounding grief, loss, and the enduring power of the human heart.
