🔍 Forbhreathnú Ginearálta
In Sárú, Evan and his friend Rio start playing a new video game called Sárú on smartwatches. The game mixes global threats, climate anxiety, and real-world mysteries. As they progress, they face online bullies (led by Crúb) and confront real-life dangers—including a devastating storm hitting their town during Ireland's climate crisis.
Cara, the girl who never laughs at school, is an ally—or maybe something more. She's ambiguous at first: will she help them or side with the bullies? Over time, she helps Evan and Rio understand what friendship and courage really mean .

🔚 Críoch
Ending
- Críoch dóchasach ach oscailte — níl gach freagra insithe faoin Stoirm ná faoin dóchas atá os comhair na gcéad nóiméad. A hopeful but open ending — not all the answers are given about the Storm or the hope that lies ahead.
- Ach tá sé soiléir go bhfuil ceannaireacht amaideach, cairdeas daingean, agus misneach i gcroí an scéil. But it's clear that bold leadership, strong friendship, and courage lie at the heart of the story.
