a new beginning, would i let myself suck up to that new beginning?

Love is universally framed as sweet- metaphorically and psychologically, it shapes an altered perception that transforms it into a vibrant Candyland fantasy, where every surface sparkles with sugar dust and each passing moment carries the rich taste of honey. Quinnt Vhyl is a man defined by his sharp bitterness-nonchalant, dismissive of social bonds, and driven by a fierce competitive spirit that keeps him at the top of every field he touches. To him, sentimentality and affection are as cloying as too much candy, best avoided entirely. But when Daevon enters his life, he begins to shatter every wall he has built. Daevon doesn't just bring sweetness, he sprinkles it into every corner of Quinnt's world, turning simple gestures into precious treats- his warm smiles, gentle words, and quiet acts of care that make him feel like the only priority that matters. Slowly but surely, he finds himself addicted to this new taste of life. He embraces the sweetness he once despised, letting it coat every part of him like melted chocolate. But what he doesn't realize is that too much sugar comes at a cost, one that leaves him with a cavity deep inside his heart when Daevon suddenly disappears, taking all the sweetness with him. Now left with nothing but the hollow ache of loss, will this painful cavity allow his old bitterness to take root again, or will it leave space for something more balanced to grow in its place?

Celestaire Miguel Buenaventura, anak ng sikat na retiradong retratista na si Julian Leo Buenaventura na siyang nagmamay-ari sa kaisa-isang litratong kuha mula sa taong 1897-ang litratong pinangalanang "Foto del Mártir." Buong buhay niya ay kinahiligan niya ang pagkuha ng litrato ng iba't ibang paksa sa kaniyang paligid. Ngunit ang hindi niya mawari ay kung bakit ayaw na ayaw ng kaniyang ama ang kaniyang pagiging retrarista. Palagi niyang hinahanapan ng sagot kung bakit bigla na lamang tumigil ang ama sa kaniyang hilig matapos na sumikat ang litrato nitong "Foto del Martir." Isang litratong kuha noong taong 1897 na ang paksa ay isang lalaking nakabarong at salakot habang bitbit ang isang bolong may nakaukit na pangalang "Feliciano." Ngunit ang kakaiba sa litratong ito ay wala itong mukha, mahiwaga kung titingnan ngunit may nakakubling sikreto sa likod ng larawan. Hindi niya aakalaing ang kuryusidad niya ang magdadala sa kaniya sa nakaraan kung saan niya madidiskubre kung ano ang sikreto na nakakubli sa litrato-isang Hulagpos ng Panahon.
