Above the ceiling

The story of six kids - too dead to live, too alive to die.
Too strong a pull toward elsewhere to remain.
Nothing to lose if they leave, yet locked away above the ceiling of this fucked-up clinic.

Ricky was fine.
Ricky was also the one who kept his grin in those dark nights, who brought smiles to others' faces when laughter felt impossibly far from real.

He was meant to be the one to heal.

They don't believe that he killed himself.
Why would he?
He was okay.
Until he wasn't.

Now only six of them are left above the ceiling, under the roof, in this stupid group home.
It was a clinic, and at the same time, it wasn't.
It was their home.
A home they never wanted.

The story of six kids who find their will to live again.
Not in a clinic, not in a home, but in their family that was never related by blood.
