Two years after her older brother's tragic death, anxiety-stricken Maisie and her emotional support cat, Milo, attend the Disney College Program, where they must discover a new life meaning in the most magical place on Earth.

***

The death changed everything. Milo, an orange tabby, has always wanted a little sibling, but after the tragic loss of his owner's older brother, adoption was put on hold, and he became her Emotional Support Animal. Now, two years later, Maisie's determined to grant Milo's long-overdue wish; however, she's still grieving and overthrown with anxiety, leaving Milo to tag along with her for the famed Disney College Program. Nevertheless, when heartbreak catches him, too, Milo must push past his grief to save himself and his wish.

Maisie Claire is ready to move on but not prepared to leave her family after two years for the DCP. She would've never accepted that offer letter if it hadn't been for her parents helping her get an ESA. Now trapped in an unfamiliar world, Maisie must find a new life meaning while still keeping her brother's memory alive. It starts with discovering the courage to befriend her mysterious suitemate and thanking Milo for everything he's done. After all, sometimes moving on just takes a little bit of courage.

"A new magic I discovered with Milo in a world without my brother."

Trigger Warnings (Milo and Maisie, despite its Disney World setting and message of hope and second chances, is a very heavy story, mostly because it's heavily inspired by my journey through grief after my older brother's death in 2021. It's a clean story, though.)

- Recovering from grief/loss
- Offscreen suicide attempt mention
- War trauma and PTSD (especially for Feya)
- Relatively graphic onscreen accident, but not too graphic
