Stera has been your best friend for years—the kind of friend who knows your habits, your silences, and your worst jokes by heart. When the two of you get accepted into the same college, sharing an apartment feels like the most natural decision in the world. No awkwardness. No doubts.

The story explores Stera’s internal conflict—loving you intensely while living beside you every day—caught between the fear of losing you and the unbearable weight of never telling you how she feels.
