Synopsis: A is an established writer/poet in his late 20’s who is looking for a young painter to promote by including his drawings/paintings in his next collection of poems that he will soon publish. He meets Shara, a young female painter of about 19 years old. They connect, she falls in love with him, they go on trips and spend a lot of time enjoying each other’s company while having various conversations about philosophy, art, death and love. Her love for him grows but A already gave his heart to someone else who refused to be by his side and his principles would not let him engage in any other type of relationship, but he does love Shara as a sister. In the end A tells Shara that, in spite of the fact he is also still so young, he took the decision to end his own life many years ago. He also reveals to her that he would very much like for her to be there with him when he goes trough with it.

Shara: Is one of the many lost souls that would normally only orbit A's world, but now, with his voluntary end approaching, she is let into his world with which she falls in love, with the world and its creator. She is very young, around 19, a simple, half brainwashed by society, wannabe painter. Her redeeming qualities are her potential and unusual genuine beauty that also expresses intelligence. Shara has many quirks, one example that will keep getting presented is the fact that she eats in a funny unconscious way, as if she is always in a hurry. This gives the impression that she thinks that the food might be taken away from her at any moment, hinting that she comes from a financially poor background or that she is an orphan.
Inspiration for Shara: "Pussycat" from Once Upon A Time In Hollywood/Breakfast At Tiffany/Vivre Sa Vie/ Pavement "Harness Your Hopes".

A: One of the two main and only characters, he is an accomplished writer/poet in his late 20's that leads a secluded life and that made
the decision to never stain or try to replace anything that he considers sacred. This includes love, principles and art. Even though he decides that his life will end at a young age by suicide he considers that he has a duty to keep his body healthy and his physical appearance at a high standard.
Inspiration for A: "Rust" from "True Detective"/Paris Texas/Buffalo66/The Wrestler/Cool Hand Luke
