"He didnt ask me to fix myself and I did't ask him why his hands were always bleeding"
New York City is full of noise, but for Nyla and Wade, the real storm lives inside their own heads.
NYLA MORIN is a ghost in her own life. Trapped behind three locked doors, oversized hoodies and a sketchbook filled with painful truths she can never speak out loud, she has mastered the art of being invisibl. To her, the world is a cruel place best watched through a glass barrier. Safe, untouched and quiet.
WADE BROOKS is running out of time. Between bloody knuckles in underground fight rings, double shifts and watching his mother slowly forget his face at a care home, he doesn't have room for softness. He survives by keeping his cap pulled low and his heart locked away.
When a chance encounter on a late-night subway train pulls them into the same orbit, neither expects to find a sanctuary in a stranger. Wade doesn't ask her to explain her tears. Nyla doesn't ask him to justify his bruises.
In the silence between midnight train stops, two broken people discover that the weight of the world feels a little lighter when you don't have to carry it alone.
