When Nastya, a guarded piano prodigy with a devastating past, crashes into Josh's carefully constructed world of solitude, neither of them expects what happens next. Josh has learned to expect loss—everyone he loves is gone—so he's perfected the art of wanting nothing and no one, until this mysterious girl refuses to leave him alone. As their connection deepens and secrets begin to unravel, both discover that sometimes the broken people are the only ones who can truly fix each other. This is a hauntingly beautiful story about two souls learning that survival isn't the same as living, and that real miracles might just look like finding someone who understands your darkness.

Indie folk and soft alternative for two guarded souls learning to trust again. Acoustic guitars, vulnerable vocals, and gentle piano—artists like Bon Iver, Phoebe Bridgers, and Gregory Alan Isakov. Bittersweet, introspective, slowly building intimacy.
