[ COMPLETED ] • [ EDITED ] People disappear, like how the calendar changes its month, how the days bounce from one another, and how the birds fly whenever they perceive danger. Only memories remain. The marks. The bond that it formed. But that's not how it works with Patroclus, an Alzheimer's disease patient. In his case, as people leave, so are the remembrances. Nothing stays. Nothing being left. Being diagnosed with an illness, Patroclus has solely one thing left he yearns to attain. And a stranger named Achilles will help him clear the last thing on his list. With fingers intertwined with each other, they will count the 300 lanterns of Binondo, together. Date Started: March 17, 2022 Date Finished: May 12, 2022

"In love ka na once accepted mo na 'yong person na 'yon kahit ano pa man siya. Buong-buo 'yong acceptance, hindi kalahati lang. Hindi sala sa lamig, sala sa init. Hindi napipilitan. Hindi natatakot." "Malalim," aniya. Tumikhim. "Mukhang based on experience." Tumawa si Kaye, hindi um-oo, hindi rin humindi. "Ikaw, ano'ng answer mo?" "Ano na bang pagmamahal pinag-uusapan natin? Fans, supporters-readers o romantic na ata 'yan?" natatawang aniya. "Hindi ako nag-a-assume kaso 'yang mga hugutang ganyan, eh. . .may mga pinaglalaban." Tumigil sa paglalakad si Kaye. Nagpamulsa. Ang lawak ng ngiti sa labing may kaunti pang kintab. "Sige, romantic na." Umiling si Rayne, nangingiti rin. "Bilis ng change topic natin." "Oo nga, eh. Let's take it slow," anito, may pilyang pagkagat pa ng kaunti sa labi. "Dito muna tayo sa usapang 'to."
