The rhythm of commercial buildings resonates with his ambitious spirit, offering opportunities for growth and adventure. His home, a modest apartment overlooking the city skyline, serves as both sanctuary and launching pad for his endeavors. Amidst the hustle and bustle, he finds solace in the familiarity of his abode, a haven amidst the urban sprawl. One day, he will be out of this city to retire to provincial life.

In his life, there's Alex, his childhood best friend, a beacon of loyalty and camaraderie since their days of playground adventures. Their bond forged through shared laughter and shared secrets has weathered the storms of adolescence and adulthood alike. Then there's his younger sibling, Chris, whose vibrant personality shines bright, yet is overshadowed by the weight of their unspoken truth - Chris hasn't come out as gay to their family yet, burdening them with a silent struggle. Despite their differences, their sibling bond remains a source of unwavering support and understanding.

Finally, there's Emily, his ex-girlfriend, whose warmth once filled his days with joy. Their relationship, once filled with promise, is now tinged with the somber undertone of her father's illness. As they navigate the complexities of life apart, they find solace in each other's company, their connection transcending the boundaries of romance.

Among them, Alex remains the anchor, the confidant with whom he shares his deepest fears and greatest aspirations, their bond unbreakable despite the passage of time. Through the highs and lows of life, these three individuals shape his world, each leaving an indelible mark on his heart and soul.
