[UNEDITED] "Just like the stars that explode in a supernova, he left a remnant. A remnant I would feel compelled to pursue." Therese, born with a golden spoon in her mouth, finds her way to the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. Everything seems to go smoothly as she enters university without a hitch, attending the freshman walk in her favorite Balenciaga shoes-until she meets him. He's an outspoken activist who turns her world upside down. He shines brightly under the sun, holding strong to his principles and fighting for what he believes in. But he doesn't make it easy for Therese. He doesn't even try to hide his disdain for her. He hates her, or so Therese believes. However, just like a star that leaves behind its remnant after it fades, he leaves something behind-a memory that Therese feels she must pursue. In her pursuit of the remnant, it's the lingering memories of him that bind her to the past, to a connection she can't seem to let go of.

Notes from Underground, also translated as Notes from the Underground or Letters from the Underworld, is an 1864 novella by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Notes is considered by many to be one of the first existentialist novels. It presents itself as an excerpt from the rambling memoirs of a bitter, isolated, unnamed narrator (generally referred to by critics as the Underground Man) who is a retired civil servant living in St. Petersburg. The first part of the story is told in monologue form, or the underground man's diary, and attacks emerging Western philosophy, especially Nikolay Chernyshevsky's What Is to Be Done? The second part of the book is called "Apropos of the Wet Snow" and describes certain events that appear to be destroying and sometimes renewing the underground man, who acts as a first person, unreliable narrator and anti-hero
