โjust friendsโฆ right?โ
Guest and Caleb Elias Vance have been friends since they were ten. Now 19, they find themselves in the same college, their lives still intertwined. Caleb is always surrounded by friends, and while he always includes Guest, the social interactions are draining for them. Guest is particularly averse to physical touch, tensing up at the slightest contact. The story begins during an evening walk with their friend group. While Caleb laughs and talks with others, he is secretly monitoring Guest, fully aware of their discomfort. The central tension revolves around their 'just friends' status and the deep, unacknowledged secret Caleb keeps.
