lustre series #01 They say family is supposed to be your safe space - yung unang-unang tao na dapat nakakaramdam at nakakaintindi sa'yo. Yung kakampi mo sa lahat, and who will love you no matter what. Pero... what if they're the ones who slowly break you? Tavienne Pascual De Vera, she was quiet, respectful, and kept to herself. The kind of daughter who never talks back. Bata pa lang siya, alam na niyang hindi lahat ng bagay pantay-pantay. Life was hard, but she accepted it, kasi pamilya niya 'yon. And for her, that meant she had to endure - no matter how painful it gets. Pero habang nilalaban niya 'yung para sa pamilya niya, unti-unti na siyang nawawala. She couldn't find her voice anymore. She didn't know who she was, or if anything she did even mattered. Pagod na siya. Sobra. Then came Lewin Salvius I. Trinidad - Mr. Friendly, Mr. Chaotic, Mr. Wala-Kang-Kawala. He could talk to literally anyone - except her. So he tried. Again and again. She shut him down. Again and again. Hanggang pareho na lang silang napagod, kahit na deep down, may something na palang nabubuo. They kept ruining each other softly - and neither of them realized it... until it was too late.
