Just when you think it's all over... the story has ended, the words are final. Just when you think there isn't any continuation you find your little et cetera. You find that little something extra that keeps you going. You find that somebody who gives you every reason to live. You find that person who fills your lungs with air and breathes for you.

Remi

They always told her not to bring work home. She couldn't be like everyone else. She couldn't leave her heart in the locker and get it back at the end of the day. She couldn't detach herself from her emotions. Struggling with what she has seen and what she has lost, Remi finds herself stuck in a bottomless pit of guilt and blame. Detached from the people around her, Remi is in a constant loop replaying the day when she made that one mistake that would cost more than just her mental sanity. 

Max 

"Don't let it get to your head," they told him. He isn't even sure what is true in his own mind anymore. What is real and what is a figment of his imagination? Grasping for a sense of reality in his delusions, Max isolates himself from the world and allows himself to decay. He closes his eyes and sees the world through a kaleidoscope. No more anger, no more sorrow... only colours and dreams that no one can touch or poison. 

They surely thought their lives were over, the story is finished. Little did they know that they would be each others et cetera at the end of their sentences.
