What Is A Friend? : The Quiet Breaking

Aira just wanted a quiet life — but silence has a way of hurting too.



Struggling with anxiety, toxic friendships, and a long-buried sense of worthlessness, university student Aira begins to slowly reclaim herself after years of emotional erosion. But as she finds her way back to art, kindness, and safe friendships, grief strikes — and this time, it’s someone she never expected to lose.



This story is a tender, heart-wrenching story of healing, guilt, and survival. Aira’s journey is a reminder that life doesn’t always give you neat endings — but it does offer moments of connection, of staying, and of choosing to live again, even in the ruins.



Some people leave without a sound.

This is about the ones who stayed — and the silence they carry.



For anyone who ever felt like too much or not enough —

This is for you.

You’re still here.

And that means something.
