Can't I Be a Little Less Brave?

A boy who seems gentle but is actually aloof and withdrawn, his heart filled with contradictions;

a rich girl who is hard to approach and utterly cold, once doted on by everyone but suddenly fallen into ruin;

their journey of growing up is filled with every kind of joy and sorrow. Perhaps they were parallel lines living in the same world all along.

Yet their lonely presence in the dark and their lost, directionless selves in the sunlight

make them seem to stand on opposite sides of a mirror, only to discover that each is looking at another version of themselves.

So they find kindred spirits in one another and slowly draw close...
