    About this ebook

    This is the story of a boy who wanted the pain to end. He didn't want to die, no. He wanted the pain to end, but death seemed like the only way out.

    This is the story of a girl who wanted to die. She didn't want a way to stop the pain. She just wanted everything to stop.

    This is the story of how the both of them met, minutes before they planned to kill themselves.
