In the serene town of Everwood, where the whispers of ancient trees danced with the gentle breeze, Aero, a 17-year-old boy with azure eyes and a tousle of chestnut hair, bore the weight of a heavy heart. It had been nearly a year since his closest friend, Ace, vanished without a trace, leaving Aero to grapple with the haunting absence that lingered like a shadow over their once vibrant friendship. Ace, with his infectious laughter and boundless curiosity, had been Aero's steadfast companion through the trials and triumphs of adolescence. Together, they had roamed the cobbled streets of Everwood, their shared laughter echoing through the tranquil woods that bordered their hometown. But then, one fateful night, a storm of unknown origin swept through Everwood, its ferocious winds tearing through the town with unrelenting force. In the chaos that ensued, Ace disappeared into the tempestuous night, leaving Aero to navigate the labyrinth of uncertainty that consumed him in the wake of his friend's absence.
Despite Aero's relentless search efforts, scouring every corner of Everwood and beyond, Ace remained elusive, his whereabouts a haunting mystery that gnawed at Aero's soul.
