》Althea Mildred, diagnosed with mild alexithymia (incapable of feeling emotions) at a very young age, was under the impression that she was emotionless. She never did feel happiness, grief, sympathy, guilt, or anything. But there was always an exception, wasn't there? It was longing. She had always felt a sense of longing, although she never knew for what.
However, everything changes when she starts high school, and meets Avery Rosewood. She finds herself on a journey of confusion, experimentation, change and finally, self discovery. 《
Two girls. At school they're total opposites. The cheer captain and the loaner geek. But at home, life isn't all as it's seems. And one teacher, and their relentless assignments, bring them closer together.

"You do realise you can just ask me?" I'm a hypocrite, I couldn't do it either.
"I know, but honestly, you kind of intimidate me and I just kinda thought maybe just a small part of you thought it was just about the projects."
