Malachi Barton

Freya Skye (17) (you) is a kind, stubborn, and quietly strong girl who has spent years learning how to live with a heart condition. She refuses to let her diagnosis become the only thing people see and hates being treated like she's fragile. Freya loves reading, writing, and singing, especially when she's trying to express feelings she can't say out loud. She carries a pink journal everywhere, filling its pages with songs, thoughts, memories, and everything she's too scared to tell anyone else. Behind her humor and confidence is someone who worries about missing out on life, but she's determined to keep chasing the moments that make her feel alive. Malachi Barton (17) is a gentle, thoughtful hospital volunteer who has a natural way of making people feel understood. He spends his free time playing guitar, writing music, and bringing comfort to patients who need someone beside them. After losing his younger sister, Lily, years ago, Malachi struggles with the fear of losing people he loves, but he hides it behind his calm and caring personality. He loves old songs, late-night conversations, and small moments that most people overlook. He's always taking care of everyone else, even when he forgets he deserves support too.
