Why me?

Milo, a seemingly cheerful student in 2026, carries a hidden world of pain beneath his vibrant facade. He harbors an intense, unrequited love for Oli, a classmate who remains oblivious to Milo's feelings. At home, his father's abusive tirades chip away at his soul, driving Milo deeper into a desperate addiction to drugs and the crushing weight of suicidal ideation. Each smile Milo offers is a shield, each laugh a desperate attempt to drown out the internal screams. He yearns for escape, for a single moment of genuine connection, but finds himself trapped in a cycle of self-destruction. Can Milo ever break free from the shadows that consume him, or will his silent suffering lead to a tragic end?
