Offlimits and Unfinished

"Always the protector, never the protected."

To the rest of Section 12-A, Tara and Thendral are inseparable, unbreakable, and entirely unbothered. Tara rules the basketball court with a sharp wit and an armor built too tight for anyone to pierce. Thendral is her anchor, navigating the hallways with a different kind of strength-one built from patience, perception, and the certainty that she never needs to be the loudest person in the room to be heard.

But keeping the chaos at bay gets impossible when the past transfers into their classroom, and the forbidden starts bleeding into their regular routine.

With old scars threatening to reopen and new boundaries being pushed in the quiet space of their apartment corridor, four lives are about to collide. Some stories are left desperately unfinished. And some lines are strictly off-limits.
Let the game begin.
