Description

In a school where apathy runs deeper than the walls, one student drifts through his days, alone and indifferent. The rooftop is his refuge, where time slows, and the wind drowns out the chaos of the school below. He learned to survive by avoiding attention, quietly stepping in when needed, but never diving deeper into any mess.

But then Tarrant, a flashy transfer student with a confidence that can't be ignored, shows up, the balance shifts. Tarrant doesn't blend in. He draws eyes, disrupts the dull rhythm of the school, and seems to thrive on the chaos he creates. In him, the quiet loner finds something unexpected, a challenge, a reason to break from the silence.

As their paths cross and their worlds collide, they navigate their friendship, marked by subtle acts of care, battles, and moments of laughter. But beneath it all, there's a deeper question: Can two people, so different, find a way to understand each other in a place where everyone else seems lost?
