34 parts Complete MatureRhy Myer is a pale, wiry teenager with smudged black eyeliner and choppy dyed hair that looks like he cut it himself in frustration. His clothes are always mismatched thrift store finds, layered in a dark, oversized style that hides more than just his body. Rhy's world is bleak; he lives in a run-down crack house with broken windows and a faint smell of mildew, scraping by with what little he can salvage. His room is his sanctuary, cluttered with tattered gothic posters, melted candles, and a battered notebook where he pours out his anguish in poetic form. Life has made Rhy tough, but beneath his sharp edges is a wounded soul who dreams of escaping to a world where he can truly be himself.
Felix Barr, on the other hand, is the epitome of privilege, with his pristine varsity jacket, confident smirk, and an entourage that hangs on his every word. Handsome and charismatic, he coasts through life with the ease of someone who's never been told "no." His parents spoil him rotten, his grades are good enough to pass without effort, and his weekends are spent at parties in luxurious homes. Felix thrives on control, and he uses his sharp tongue and physical presence to belittle anyone he deems inferior-especially Rhy, his favorite target.
To Felix, Rhy is an easy victim: different, vulnerable, and unwilling to fight back in ways Felix can't mock. But what Felix doesn't realize is that Rhy's resilience, forged in the fires of his difficult life, may someday burn brighter than the shallow light of Felix's perfect world. Their shared high school hallways become a battlefield where cruelty, pain, and unspoken longing collide, leaving scars that run deeper than either of them can see.
