Intro. Leah and James were a poetic paradox. The love between them was an electric current, undeniable and vibrant, a reciprocity so intense that the world seemed to vibrate. Yet this same incandescent passion had a dark side: it turned trivial nonsense and misunderstandings into bonfires of discord. They fought over trifles, the arguments boiled over until the air between them became dense and unbreathable. Until one day, the last spark of one of these insignificant fights extinguished the flame. At school, they established a painful pact of ignorance. But it was an unsustainable farce. Every corner of the campus, from the bus to the stairs, from messages to photos, held proof of a common history. When their bodies brushed against each other in the crowded hallways, it was impossible for any of them to erase the vivid memory of what they had been. The silence they maintained was, in fact, a deafening cry of all that they had lost.
