Synopsis
Two souls who never learned what home feels like mistake recognition for destiny. She survives. He leaves. She wanted to seize joy, to experience life without hesitation. He wanted to comprehend, to map the landscape of her heart before the limited time in this city ran out. Two ways of living collided-two approaches to love, intertwined but not always aligned. They meet in a city that belongs to neither of them. What begins as silence turns into gravity. What feels like safety turns into fire. They do not fall in love. They ignite. And neither of them knows whether they are building a home- or watching it burn. This is a story of fragile connection, of struggle and departure, and of the painstaking process of building a home where reason and feeling could coexist.

Chapter 1 - TOXIC

TOXIC is a contemporary love story about two people who have never known the safety of a home.

She left her hometown a decade ago, learning how to survive anywhere—but never quite finding a place where she truly belonged.

He grew up without a home, learning early to leave before being left.

At first, their connection is quiet, almost forgettable—slow messages, sporadic replies, other conversations, no expectations.

Yet when two people who have learned to protect themselves meet at the wrong time in the wrong place, something quietly irreversible begins.

This is a story of love that feels right but takes the wrong shape, of fragile attachment and repeated departures, and of the long, painful process of learning how—or whether—to stay.
