Instead, he's handed a diagnosis that turns his life into a countdown.

Between hospital corridors and school hallways, a broken doctor who's forgotten how to live, a best friend who won't stop roasting him, and a girl whose voice feels like home, Rishi learns an uncomfortable truth
Some battles can't be won.
But that doesn't mean you stop fighting.

A story about love, laughter, loss, and choosing to live loudly right until the end.
