How to Disappear Quietly

Elias hasn't left his apartment in 42 days.
His world is a quiet room, a dying plant, and the lists he writes to feel something.

Things That Make Me Feel Alive
1. The sound of rain
2. Cold air in my lungs
3. The boy next door
4. The way it hurts when he leaves

Then one night, he hears a knock on the wall.
Ash is loud, reckless, and painfully alive, the kind of boy who drinks like he's trying to disappear, laughs like he's daring the world to stop him, and breaks things just to feel them shatter.

Through the thin wall between their rooms, Elias and Ash begin to talk. Share music. Secrets. Scars. They fall into something sharp and soft and dangerous.

But not everything broken wants to be fixed. And not everyone who loves you will stay.

Two boys. One wall.
A story about silence, survival, and the kind of love that burns instead of heals.
