In a school where HUMSS and STEM students rarely cross paths, an unexpected collaboration forces Elara, a lively and outspoken HUMSS student, and Cyril, a cold and logical STEM student, into the same team for an interstrand research competition.
Elara, who thrives on emotions and words, finds Cyril's distant and indifferent attitude unbearable. Meanwhile, Cyril sees Elara as too talkative and impulsive. But as they work together, Elara handling the storytelling and presentation, Cyril focusing on data and analysis-they start seeing the cracks in each other's walls.
Through diary entries, Elara documents her growing frustration, curiosity, and slowly, something else she refuses to name. But unknown to her, Cyril, too, has been writing... not in a diary, but in the margins of his calculus notebook.
A slow-burn story about opposites clashing, learning, and maybe falling in love.
Is cheating always meant to be physical?
What if he emotionally betrays you?
But what do you call it when your husband shares his dreams, emotions, victories, and time with another woman...
slowly forgets that you even exist?
(Short story)
