Nihadi's "little life" is marked by a sense of stagnation, where hope is overshadowed by a series of disappointments and betrayals. Her relationships are fraught with tension, leaving her feeling isolated. The charming twin boys, however, represent a glimmer of light in her otherwise tumultuous existence. They might bring joy or serve as a reminder of what could have been—an anchor amid the chaos of her dysfunctional background. Their presence complicates her emotions, prompting her to reflect on her choices and the possibilities of connection in a world that often feels unwelcoming.

Nihandi's brothers, Jay and Ray, are a contrasting force in her life. While they share her troubled background, they embody different coping mechanisms. Jay is the pragmatic one, often trying to shield Nihandi from the harsh realities they face, while Ray is more rebellious and impulsive, frequently pushing boundaries. Their dynamic duo creates a complicated mix of support and tension, as Nihandi tries to navigate her feelings of loyalty, frustration, and most especially her long desire for a better future. Together, they decide to dare the odds and navigate the complexity of family ties in the midst of chaos.

The little steps Nihandi takes toward becoming a better version of herself are deeply rooted in the memory of her late friend, Dori. Dori was a beacon of hope and positivity in Nihandi's life, always encouraging her to embrace her potential despite the darkness surrounding her. Dori was unwavering in her support and vibrant in spirit, Nihadi again finds motivation to change as each small decision she makes is infused with the desire to honor Dori's memory which in turn pushes her to seek healing and growth in a world that is unkind.
