PROLOGUE

This is the story of a young man named Clint — who given exactly 360 days to live.

There's no cure. No miracle. Only a quiet illness with a name most people forget the moment they hear it:

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. ALS.

It's not the kind of disease that screams. It doesn't bruise the skin or leave scars.

It simply takes — slowly, silently.

First your muscles.

Then your movement.

Your voice.

Your strength.

One by one, until all that remains is time…

and the question of what to do with it.

But this isn't a story about dying.

It's about what comes before the goodbye —

about the boy who meets a girl,

and how one smile, one moment,

can change everything.

Even when he knows his heart won't beat for long.

So if you're reading this, remember:

He's not asking to be saved.

He just wants to be remembered.

Author's Note:

Starting this chapter, I'll be using paragraph style instead of script format.

This will help deliver the story more clearly and emotionally.

Thank you for understanding!
