    Asher is tired of being awake. Noa is tired of being held under machines that show no love in her remaining minutes. Together, they inhabit a place untouched by time, where pain doesn't follow and nothing asks them to be strong. What begins as comfort slowly becomes devotion - fragile, patient, and dangerously convincing. This is a story about the spaces we escape to, the people we carry with us, and the moment when staying becomes an act of love. "Dreams offer an escape from reality; however, that doesn't mean they reflect the truth of it."

    At the beginning of a new school year, newly transferred student John Rosefield finds himself entangled in encounters that defy explanation. As John settles into his new school, he crosses paths with people burdened by forgotten memories, lingering regrets, and mysteries that refuse to fade away. Alongside the friends he meets, John is drawn into stories that blur the line between the ordinary and the supernatural, forcing him to confront questions with no easy answers. With every encounter, John learns more about the people around him- and about himself. This is a character-driven supernatural drama about friendship, memory, regrets, and finding meaning in the connections we leave behind. [Note: New chapter releases in every weekends, so either Sunday or Saturday :D]

    This book is not a collection of love letters. Some of these letters are written to people I miss. Some are written to people who hurt me. Some are written to people I never got to say goodbye to. Others are written to people I still think about for reasons I don't fully understand. None of these letters were meant to be sent. They are snapshots of moments, emotions, and memories. They are arguments I had in my head, conversations that ended too soon, and words that arrived long after the person was gone. This book is not about finding answers. It is simply about thinking about you.

    Why I Ate Freya He found her in a book before he found her on a bridge. She wrote the truest thing he had ever read. She described the exact shape of his loneliness - the self you show the world and the self you drown in silence. He didn't know her name. He only knew she understood him more completely than any person ever had. Then he saw her. Every evening. Same bridge. Same wide hat. Same long scarf. Same boots covering legs she never showed anyone. He watched her watch the sunset for months and said nothing - because he was, at his core, a coward dressed in the philosophy of patience. Until one night he decided to be someone braver. He gave himself a new name - *Intesferonz* - borrowed from the pages of her book, and walked up to her and said it out loud. She smiled like she'd been waiting. *Then when are you devouring me?* He misunderstood everything. He ran. He came back. He made a fool of himself in broad daylight on a bridge in front of a city that wasn't watching. And slowly - page by page, evening by evening - he began to understand what she had really meant. This is not a story about a beautiful woman. This is a story about what happens when someone finally sees you. All of you. The burns. The missing hair. The self you buried so deep you forgot it had a name. And loves you anyway. Not despite it. Just - loves you.
