Geo grew up with little — a small home, worn shoes, and days that felt too heavy for someone his age. But he had Max.

They were inseparable. Best friends since they could walk, dreaming under the stars, imagining a life far from their struggles. Max kept chasing that dream through school. Geo tried, too, but life had other plans. He had to drop out, trading books for work just to get by.

Now, Max is leaving for the city — for the future they once dreamed of together.

Geo smiles, proud. But deep inside, something aches. As Max walks away, Geo stays behind, holding on to memories and wondering what becomes of dreams when only one of you gets to chase them.
