Mila notices things other people miss. Leo often has an idea before anyone has even asked for a solution. They haven't known each other long. But every time they meet, it raises questions they both end up thinking about longer than they expected.
Two points of view. Lots of stories. No set ending.
She notices things other people miss.
Mila takes photos, bakes and is good at biology. She'd rather listen first and then say the thing nobody else thought of. In new groups she's quiet; with friends she's surprisingly funny.

He has an idea before anyone has asked for a solution.
Leo plays basketball really well and loves drawing buildings. He acts fast, sometimes too fast, and is learning to look first. He shows his drawings to almost no one.
See Leo's profileNora and Alex tell the everyday story of a young relationship. Mila and Leo tell the story of the time before: the first meeting, the first message, movie night with the others, maybe a first date. And sometimes just two people sitting on a bench who don't need to say anything.
They belong to different crowds. Leo to the loud group by the basketball hoop, Mila to Liv and a few people who'd rather listen. That's exactly why they learn from each other how to see the same world differently.

Respect & Courage · Mila and Leo · 2 min readLeo's basketball friends laugh at a younger kid and film him. Leo laughs along until he sees the way Mila is looking at him. Does he stick with his friends or speak up?
Read the story →Two people get along really well. Everyone else instantly sees a couple. But do Mila and Leo even have to know yet what they are to each other?
Mila photographs a moment, Leo draws it. Each of them sees something different. Who's right? Maybe both.
A message goes unanswered. A look seems cold. A harmless sentence suddenly hits a sore spot.
Leo loves basketball, Mila loves photography. What happens when a hobby turns into a competition and you keep comparing yourself?
A group is laughing at someone. Mila doesn't think it's funny. Leo has known the others longer. Does he say something?
A photo of the two of them shows up online. Comments follow. A completely normal moment turns into a story other people are telling.
Mila plans, Leo just goes for it. When it goes wrong, they both have to rethink.
Sometimes you just sit next to each other. No big conversation. And it's still a good moment.
The court by the park. Leo on a Sunday, alone or with John.
The old train station. Leo's bench under the glass roof.
The dock by the lake. Mila swims here in summer.
The café on the corner. Two cups, a table by the window.
The bench above the city. Nobody has to say anything here.
School. Two crowds, one schoolyard.
You get along really well with someone. And suddenly everyone is asking if there's something more. Maybe you're asking yourself too. Here's what helps, and what doesn't.
→Respect & CourageAlmost everyone has laughed along at something that wasn't funny. That doesn't make anyone a bad person. What matters is what happens next.
→Privacy & Digital BoundariesA snapshot in the group chat, a video in someone's story, a picture with a comment underneath. That can feel awful. There are things you can do.
