Grief Chapter

As graduation approaches, Oliver stands on the opportunity of a future most dancers only dream of; an audition to join the country's best ballet company. Gifted, admired, and seemingly perfect, his path has always been clear. But in the final year at his prestigious academy, the world he thought he knew begins to fracture.
A new friendship with the piano prodigy Alois awakens something unexpected in Oliver, stirring questions he's never dared to ask himself. At the same time, the person who knows him best, his best friend, Saray, begins to drift away, quietly, without explanation.
Oliver is forced to confront the silences he never noticed, the truths he never saw, and the cost of looking away. When the applause fades and the stage goes dark, what remains is a single voice, raw and unflinching, scrawled across the pages of a journal he never meant to write.

This is his story. But not only his.
