    Summary

    ----------

    Sam always knew the day would come when Sebastian, the last of his friends and the last of the people in his age group, would leave Pelican Town. He asked Sam to go with him, probably at least a hundred times, but Sam knows he has to stay.

    Now he's facing what his 'forever' looks like, trapped in Pelican Town, dealing with his mom's inability to do anything hard or inconveniencing for herself, and working at JojaMart to make ends meet for his whole family.

    What he isn't banking on is an unlikely friend stepping up from nowhere... Someone who may actually help him see his worth, his place in the world... And someone he could give those same gifts back to.

    If you feel like you've read this on a different account with a (slightly) different title, you're not crazy. Please read the Author's Note at the start of Chapter 1 for explanation and accept my apologies for the upheaval. (If you were up to date reading the original you finished at Chapter 2. <3 <3 )
