Summary
"The first thing Lovro noticed was that the closet was much darker and much more cramped than he expected.
The second was that he wasn’t alone."
Tina’s birthday party was supposed to be a party just like any other. Cheap spirits, drinking games everybody cringed at but played anyway, and losing your dignity on the dance floor to bad music. But the arrival of a boy Lovro’s never seen before makes his night take an unexpected turn. Suddenly, he’s shoving himself into the tight confines of a dark closet in a desperate, last-ditch attempt to hide himself from the world.

Summary
"The brain is a terrible roommate sometimes," Ivan said softly.
Lovro blinked, looking up through the shadows. "What?"
"It lies to you," Ivan murmured, turning his gaze back to the far corner of the room. "When you're down this deep, it tells you that you've always been here, and that you're always going to stay here. It tells you that everyone else is moving forward and you're just a broken gear. It's a liar, Lovro. But when you're in the middle of it, the lie sounds like the only truth in the world."
or;
When Jakov kicks him out of their shared dorm room for the night to have some privacy with a girl, Lovro finds himself stranded in the cold hallway, slowly freezing and contemplating his life choices. Finding Lovro huddled against the wall, Ivan offers him a spot in his room for the night.

Summary
There’s a card sitting on Lovro’s desk — hidden amongst the sea of forgotten homework assignments and doodles and other miscellaneous papers that only add to the warzone on the table no matter how often he tries to clear it — that’s been there for three days. Garish and cartoony, a cheap fifty-cent thing that was probably picked up from some random drugstore as a throwaway thought. Lovro knows exactly what it looks like, has spent hours staring at it, trying to pull meaning from it that doesn’t exist. There’s a sad-faced cartoon kid on the front, holding up a sign that says “Sorry!” written on it in big, blocky letters. Underneath, scrawled with a blue pen, reads “I forgot your birthday!”
