Calandra Briallen Cressida walks away from everything - the place that broke her, the people who failed her, and the version of herself that couldn't fight anymore. With trauma clinging to her skin and sorrow weighing down her soul, she stumbles upon a house far from the chaos, collapsing at its doorstep. Inside lives a man cloaked in quiet and mystery - someone who carries shadows of his own. He doesn't save her with grand gestures, but with silence, space, and subtle kindness. Slowly, Calandra begins to heal. But healing, she learns, is not always gentle. Because just as she's learning to breathe again, he becomes the very reason she forgets how to. Minsan, 'yung taong naghilom ng sugat mo... siya rin pala 'yung magbubukas ulit ng bago. Paano kung sa gitna ng paggaling niya, siya rin pala ang tuluyang mawawasak? Ang bahay na inakala niyang ligtas-magiging kulungan na naman ba? O baka, this time, matututo na siyang lumaban... kahit ang kalaban, ay 'yung taong minahal niya? Started: June 6, 2022
