"You are not forced to remain isolated from the world; you choose it out of the fear of being hurt. Sometimes, isolation can feel like your greatest power, but most of the time, it becomes your deepest weakness."
Deep within a remote village, miles away from the modern world, Ayan lives a life entirely defined by heavy responsibility. Balancing backbreaking farm work with a newspaper route, he hides behind a polite, practiced smile-a shield to keep the growing demon of loneliness at bay. He asks for no help, shares no pain, and pours his remaining energy into cracking the civil service exams to finally lift his family out of poverty.
But the day his results finally bring a spark of hope, destiny tears the ground from beneath him. Stepping off the bus, he finds a crowd gathered outside his house, and a sudden, devastating loss forces him deeper into the dark.
Can a heart kept entirely in the dark ever learn to step into the light? Or will Ayan perfect the art of staying unseen until there is nothing left of him to save?
