The Half-Lit Moon is a lyrical, emotionally rich fairytale about love, loss, and the slow, painful journey of healing. It follows Aaro, a boy grappling with grief after losing the girl he loved. The story weaves together memory, dreams, and reality in a haunting exploration of heartbreak. Aaro is guided by whispers, shadows, and a mysterious girl who represents what he has lost. He travels through places made of memory, such as forests of echoes, mirrors of truth, and a fragmented moon that reflects his broken heart.

This is not a story about getting love back; it is about finding yourself after love is gone. Quiet, poetic, and deeply human, The Half-Lit Moon examines how we survive loss, how we carry those who leave us, and how even broken hearts can continue to shine.
