Raised in the Echoes is a quiet, emotionally raw coming-of-age story that follows Reyan - a 20-year-old boy who has never been truly seen, not by his family, not by his friends, not even by the world around him.
Raised in silence and shaped by years of emotional neglect, Reyan moves through life like a ghost - present, but never truly felt. As he enters his third year of college, surrounded by people but soaked in loneliness, he begins to confront the weight of his past and the small, soft moments that define his present.
Through grief, one-sided friendships, deep inner monologues, and notebook entries he'll never share, Reyan slowly begins to understand that healing doesn't always come from others. Sometimes, it comes from sitting with yourself. From continuing, even when no one is watching.
This story isn't loud. It's not about heroes or redemption arcs. It's about survival - the kind that happens in silence.
For the quiet hearts. The ones who were never held, but kept going anyway.
