    Summary

    Charlie is a talented journalist struggling to be taken seriously in a workplace that consistently takes him for granted, while Nick, charming and guarded, carries the quiet weight of responsibilities he never asked for. When a high-profile assignment arises, resentment sparks and tempers flare, forcing them into close proximity neither is prepared for.

    Outside of work, Charlie finds himself drawn into late-night gaming sessions with a soft hearted stranger who offers easy laughter and unexpected comfort, while Nick begins discovering new sides himself thanks to his sharp-witted, kind gaming companion. As professional frustrations mount and personal lives press in from all sides, unspoken tensions and blurred boundaries begin to surface. Set between office politics, digital escapes, and moments of vulnerability, this is a slow-burn story about misjudgment, longing, and the complicated ways people learn to see one another.

    Summary

    Charlie can’t actually remember the accident. The whole thing feels like a dream that slips away in the moments after waking up. He understands what happened, intellectually, but there’s no version of it in his mind he can actually recall. The flashes of memory he tries to grasp onto have no structure, nothing real or tangible. Geoff says he may refer him for EMDR therapy, “trauma doesn’t stay buried, Charlie.”

    Charlie isn’t sure how to explain to Geoff that he might need EMDR therapy just to remember the past three weeks. Even now, he can barely recall how they got to the cemetery. He remembers his dad saying “It’s time” and now they’re here—four of them where there's meant to be five—sat next to a freshly carved headstone. He blinks, as if waking for the first time today.
