    Summary

    How do you explain the time between moving in together as roommates for undergrad, and then being on the brink of never seeing each other again?

    For Kaveh and Alhaitham, their lives have been tied together since a clerical error put them in the same room for their first year at the Akademiya. They became friends, and almost something more, but their lives became too messy to navigate and one explosive argument tore them apart for five years.

    Now, they’re back in the same apartment and moving forward, even if moving forward means they’re trying to ignore a decade of history behind them. When Kaveh has the chance to move out and take a job in Fontaine, Alhaitham has to come to terms with how he’s pushed Kaveh away, and Kaveh has to face his own skeletons if there’s any chance of staying together.

    It can only start with the beginning, and that means digging up the past and looking at their lives together… starting with the day they moved in.
