In a small provincial school, rivalry grows between two boys who once knew each other by heart, tied together by a quiet, dirty secret neither dared to name-one with fractured memories, the other with wounds that never learned how to speak. This is a novel written primarily in English, with a touch of Filipino/Tagalog, inspired by SB19's Hanggang Sa Huli.
