Beyond 5 Metres by Limar Lendo Doke

Beyond Five Metres is a tender, reflective sequel to 5 Metres Away, returning to the boy who once stood five metres from the girl he never truly reached. Now older and back in the spaces that shaped him, he must face the memories he tried to leave behind—hostel corridors, unfinished letters, and a love that never quite found the right time. As life moves forward around him, he discovers that some distances don’t disappear; they change, teaching us how to live with what we couldn’t say, and who we became because of it. This is a story about coming home to your past, forgiving your younger self, and learning that going beyond five metres isn’t always about getting closer to someone—sometimes, it’s about finally coming closer to yourself.
