Nika has a really big problem. She’s carrying around a secret. She wants to tell someone, but she’s afraid people will laugh at her, or worse, get angry. Sometimes it feels like the secret is breaking her back.

When she can’t take it anymore, she tells his friend Hailu.

The moment it comes out, the secret doesn’t seem so big and learns that she is not alone.
