Witness me

Ezra, son of Zade Kent and Amelia Starling, was born into a world rebuilt-quiet, orderly, finally safe on the surface. But his parents never trusted safety, not after everything they'd lived through. They raised their children the way they had been raised: disciplined, aware, and ready for whatever darkness might return.

But Ezra's battles have never only lived outside him. Growing up as the oldest of three, he learned responsibility early, pressure even earlier, and somewhere along the way he stumbled into an addiction he can't seem to outrun. His life feels like a careful balance he keeps failing to hold-until a new girl arrives at his school. She's unexpected, unafraid, and somehow sees the parts of him he thought were ruined beyond recognition. And just like that, everything begins to shift.
