    Summary

    For William, the distance between him and his brother’s best friend has always been measured in "almosts." Almost touching in the backseat of a car; almost catching each other’s gaze in a crowded kitchen; almost saying the words that would change everything.

    For Est, William is the one line he promised Pond he’d never cross. But as William grows up, the "little brother" persona begins to fracture, revealing a man who knows exactly how to unravel Est’s hard-won restraint. Between late-night study sessions, stolen glances, and the suffocating weight of a secret shared in the dark, the tension finally snaps.
