The Line We Dare Not Cross

In every society, there are lines—lines drawn not in ink or stone, but in habits, glances, and silent agreements. Some are visible; most are not. They define who belongs, who is accepted, and who is quietly set aside. These lines often go unnoticed, their weight carried silently by those living within them. And yet, they shape every interaction, every friendship, and every choice. It follows Dhyanu, Harsh, Shoti, and others as they navigate a society where belonging is conditional and the cost of crossing lines is both real and subtle. This is not a tale of overt rebellion or dramatic confrontations. It is a story of small acts, of moments that ripple quietly but profoundly, challenging the structures of exclusion that we often take for granted. Through suspense, tension, and human complexity, it invites readers to reflect on the invisible lines in their own lives—the assumptions, biases, and habits that define who is seen and who is ignored. As you read, I encourage you to notice the spaces between words, the silences, and the subtle choices that make inclusion possible.
