This isn't going to be one of those stories where the charming and beautiful prince comes to save the little princess (or in this case, prince) from their sad and twisted life. Everyone has their own shit to deal with-some more than others-and even the side characters in this story have their own struggles.
This isn't about the great hero who saves everyone.
It's about an ordinary person learning how to save himself.
It's about getting advice from someone who once saved themselves, hearing stories about yourself that you don't even remember.
It's about helping each other.
It's about how to save a life.
