Something like forgiveness

Nathaniel lives in a house full of silence, haunted by a death no one dares talk about.
Harry lives in a house full of shouting, bruises, and doors that never feel safe.
School is supposed to be their escape. It's where Nathaniel has Lottie, and where Harry can breathe for a little while. But when they're forced back into each other's lives, old hatred resurfaces-and so do the questions no one wants to ask.
In a story about grief, survival, and the lies we tell to protect ourselves, this is a quiet unravelling of what it means to belong-and whether it's the people we hate the most are the ones that understand our full story.
