suburbia

Rowan never asked for much - not from their friends, not from love, not even from themself. But life in their quiet hometown begins to shift when a girl in the school corridor catches their attention, and the shadows outside their window start to move. Between strange dreams, fragile friendships, and a sister who lingers in memory and static, Rowan finds themself unraveling in ways they can't explain - and can't stop.
Then comes Saloy, a clumsy, unpredictable graphic designer who appears in Rowan's life like a glitch in the pattern - not to fix anything, but to soften the edges of it all.
But what does closure even look like when you're the only one still holding on?
Can you miss someone who never really loved you?
And what happens when the real ghosts aren't the ones you can see?
