When Aris first joins Archie’s Public School on May 23, 2024, he is a distant, silent figure who sits by the window, seemingly untouched by the chaotic energy of high school life. Eshan is drawn to this stillness, and through small, shared moments like walking home together and sitting together at lunch the two form a deep, unspoken bond.
Knowing his time is short, Aris prepares a series of heartfelt farewell letters for each of his friends. These letters are not just goodbyes; they are "missions" designed to help his friends navigate their grief and continue living fully. Aris leaves Eshan a Moleskine notebook—half-filled with his own thoughts and half-blank—challenging Eshan to finish the story not with mourning, but with momentum.
