Phial Of Unrequited Valentine

Alistair Aster Querencia Winslow has always lived in everyone else's shadow.

While his classmates laugh without hesitation, chase their dreams with certainty, and effortlessly find their place, Alistair spends his days comparing himself to them, convinced he'll never be enough.

Then there's Lumière Lunive Amore.

The boy who shines so brightly that simply watching him feels enough. What begins as innocent admiration slowly blossoms into something Alistair can no longer deny.

Unable to voice the feelings buried deep inside him, he writes them instead-one letter at a time. Every confession, every longing, and every fleeting moment is sealed away inside a glass phial, never meant to be read.

Or so he believes.

As the years pass, friendships bloom, hearts change, and time quietly slips through his fingers. Alistair must decide whether to keep hiding behind unwritten words or finally gather the courage to face the truth before it's too late.

Some stories are written to be remembered.

Others are written because their author never found the courage to speak.
