Where the Light Lingers is a poignant, slow-burning love story about youth, grief, and the quiet, enduring power of memory.
Sana, a young woman caught between her desires and the expectations of the world around her, finds herself entangled in a tender, complicated relationship with Tzuyu-a quiet, strong-hearted girl who loves her deeply, selflessly, and without condition. But Sana chooses a different path, one that leads her toward a life of security and tradition with Mark, leaving behind the fragile, beautiful world she built with Tzuyu.
When Tzuyu is diagnosed with a terminal brain condition, Sana returns-not out of guilt, but because she never truly left. Their final months together are filled with unspoken love, fading light, and aching goodbyes. Through a series of letters, small keepsakes, and memories tucked into the corners of a once-shared home, Sana comes to understand the depth of Tzuyu's love-and the quiet way she held space for her in a world that never made room for it.
Years pass. Life continues. Sana marries, has children, and finds happiness. But in quiet moments, she still sees Tzuyu-smiling from a distance, glowing in white, lingering in the light.
"Where the Light Lingers" is a deeply emotional story about first love, loss, and how some people never truly leave us.
