And so was Rudy, a cute stranger Go shared a connection with the night before.

And Caroline, a girl whose silence ended up costing nineteen people their lives. With Chan completely closed off to even talking about it, Go makes an impulsive decision: There they will board an art installation made of the charred remnants of Bus 21 and hopefully reach some sort of resolution. But things are never easy when it comes to rehashing the past. Uniting the four stirs up conflicting feelings of anger and forgiveness, and shows them that, although they all survived, they may still need saving. I was one of five. The five girls Kyle texted that day. The girls it could have been.

Is hope possible in the face of such violence?
