Kayzon's got his own story - one written in pain, loss, and walls too high for most people to climb. His past made him hard, quiet, and guarded, but somehow, Liyah gets past the surface. She makes him feel seen again. Safe, even. What starts as late-night conversations and lazy afternoons in her dorm turns into something deeper, something neither of them expected. But when two people carrying their own kind of hurt collide, love doesn't always heal - sometimes, it exposes. Did they move too fast, or did they just find each other at the wrong time?
