Now nineteen and a finance student at the city’s top college, he carries the weight of his mother’s legacy—a house pa*sed down to him with his father’s quiet blessing, a silent promise amidst the turbulence of their shared past.

His father’s fortunes crumbled during the pandemic, forcing the sale of a home once his own, while a new chapter unfolded with a remarriage and the arrival of a stepsister whose desire for connection is met with cold indifference.
