After School, Always

It started with a girl who always sat alone near the café, and a group of people who simply refused to let her stay that way.
After School, Always is a gentle, low-stakes slice-of-life story about the quiet spaces we create between the chaos of growing up. From disastrous school projects and rainy runs to the convenience store, to late-night sleepover secrets and a bucket list of terrible pre-graduation ideas, a handful of completely different people accidentally find their safe haven in each other.
There are no grand romances or dramatic betrayals here. Just the warm, messy, and comforting routine of the afternoon sun, a favourite café booth, and the slow realization that you don't have to face the future by yourself.
