Summary:
Grian never meant to fall for him.
Scar was too bright, too loud, too full of life to belong anywhere near the guarded corners of Grian's world. But somehow, he found his way in-through bickering, through building, through every quiet night spent too close on the tower's roof.

Their love grew in silence. In soft glances. In a kiss that felt like the beginning.

But when a moment of fear turns into a fall, everything changes.
Scar slips. Grian stumbles.
And what follows is grief, guilt, and the desperate attempt to make it all look like an accident.

Now, surrounded by friends and questions, Grian is forced to live in the world they built together-haunted by what he did, and what he almost had.

A slow burn that ends in silence.
A love story that never got the chance to be one.
