Katleya Casia Magat once thought she was doing enough ... until she wasn't. As the youngest daughter in a family that counted medals more than moments, every small victory felt overshadowed by someone else's bigger one. And every second-place award carried the same name she could never outrun: Nohaken Araune.
When she walked off that stage in sixth grade, she swore she'd never stand beside him again. But life pulled her right back into a battle she could never win. Because while she burned herself out just to be seen, he was the light everyone naturally wanted and needed.
When they meet again, they find themselves right where they started. This time, there's no ranking and no rivalry; just the chance to choose each other. But is she willing to stand next to him again?
Are they finally brave enough to begin - to go back to square one.
