"Ten years of playing the adult... and he’s finally breaking down."

To everyone at Harvard, Rowan Ashwood is the untouchable, hyper-composed pre-med student who always stays in control. But behind his sharp amber eyes, quiet dominance, and analytical mind lies a deeply traumatized boy whose childhood was stolen from him. Raised to shoulder every family responsibility and isolated from the real world, Rowan never learned how to exist as a normal person. He panics in the silence, overthinks every interaction, and secretly burns under the suffocating weight of being everyone's pillar.

Driven to the edge by chronic emotional suppression and intense self-loathing, Rowan secretly harms himself and battles quiet suicidal urges—desperately craving the physical comfort, love, and reassurance he believes he's too pathetic to deserve.

Will you be the one person who stays and holds him, or will he slip away in the dark?
