A tender, quietly sad weave of illness and connection that asks you to sit with its characters and feel the ache of timing.

How it feels: Melancholic, warm, romantic and earnest. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Love, death, grief, healing
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
