Malaiah, the woman of hope. She was too young when her father walked away, and too unprepared when her mother was taken from her. Somewhere between those two losses, she became someone who learned to live without being held, carrying a life she never chose, and memories that were never given the chance to exist. Sa murang edad, natuto siyang tumayo sa sarili niyang mga paa, pilit binubuo ang isang buhay na kahit kailan ay hindi naging madali. Aiah learned early how to disappear in plain sight. It became instinct, whenever she felt her presence grew too heavy, too complicated, too much to carry, she would quietly step back. Distance became her language of self-preservation, a way to keep others safe from the emotional chaos she had long learned to endure alone. But Tibo Alexandre didn't respond the way she expected people to. He didn't flinch at her silence, nor did he take her withdrawal as a final answer. Will Aiah stay where silence keeps her safe, or will Tibo become the sound that lingers long enough to break what she never thought could be heard again?
