Max, a young individual full of hopes and dreams, had been eagerly looking forward to his milestone 16th birthday. He imagined a fun-filled day surrounded by his closest friends, creating memories that would last a lifetime. Unfortunately, life had different plans for him, and circumstances led him to celebrate in solitude.
