Lawrence Bansagi has always grown an affinity for board games and card games that he opened his own cafe highlighting the beautiful games that he has collected over the years. His most prized possession is a dusty silver-colored card given to him by Sauren Lathatan, his schoolmate who conveniently appears everytime danger approaches. One day, Lawrence was closing up shop for the day but notices Sauren injured right outside his cafe. Lawrence tended to his wounds and asked Sauren what happened. He explained that the Philippines will fall into ruin. That the "Tarheta" is the way for destiny to change. Lawrence didn't understand what he said but brushed it off as a twisted joke. As Sauren leaves, he lets out a whisper that echoes throughout the building: Music, art, culture, myths, bonds all fade within due time, just like the gods and goddesses of this world. I call upon you, save the future. Save me, destroy me, kill me and set this world free. That same night, Lawrence finally understood what Sauren said.

This is not love story. Reality, makes this story. The love he feels is not sleeping, it is awake

As dusk falls, the clouds are painted bright orange, the shadows of the trees and the landscapes are starting to cover the field that is clearly seen where t stood that afternoon. In that rooftop of an old and rumored to be a hunted law building. Cahelle could feel the faint heat coming from the sunset. It was once a soothing touch of the sun that makes his heart and mind calm, especially in the events that he is not devoured by the sunset alone. But now, it is not the dazzling sunlight or the calmness that makes him close his eyes but the desire to stop his tears from falling. It is the same rooftop where Carlo finds him out of nowhere one lazy afternoon. This unexpected meeting turns into friendship and later on turned to be something more. And it is the same sunset where they both became true with each other. The same sunset that makes them face their fear, but above all, it was the same sunset that introduced them into their true self. Affected by the ones around them sparks a controversy that causes tension in them. Building doubt and misperceptions that separate them until they asked; can this new kind of affection be turned into a love story? Is love only about two people?

They did not know that the place where it all started will also be the place where it all ends, all because Cahelle can't find the will to listen and Carlo couldn't find courage... But is it really the end? Is it really the last sunset that they are going to watch together?
