    Summary

    Alternative Universe : College / University, Pen pals

    After the sudden loss of his mother, Louis finds himself struggling to keep afloat. Grief-stricken and emotionally withdrawn, he reluctantly agrees to join an anonymous letter-writing program meant to help young adults process their pain through words.

    What begins as a reluctant exchange with a stranger named Orpheus soon becomes something more — a lifeline, a mirror, a connection deeper than Louis thought possible.

    Then comes Rome. A new city, a shared room, and Harry — distant, difficult, and impossible to ignore. Between tense silences, quiet glances, and unresolved tension, Louis feels himself pulled in two directions: toward the anonymous voice that understands his soul… and the roommate who slowly begins to unravel him.

    A story of grief, healing, intimacy, and the tangled ways we come to know — and love — one another.
