Marikina post-Division has been split in two. Part of the city remained above the surface while the rest of it was pushed under what is now a new valley below the metro. There horrors and unknown things live and thrive with the humans who chose to stay at what remained of what used to be their home.

In the daily chaos of Manila's commute, Mitch - a sharp-tongued, hyper-femme copywriter from Caloocan with flawless style and zero interest in love - catches the eye of Andre, a 24-year-old tech whiz with artista looks and a heart too curious for its own good. What starts as silent van rides and casual tricycle banters soon spirals into something electric, with laughter, lingering glances, and sleepovers that feel a little too much like forever. Mitch, jaded from past heartbreaks and firmly off the romance grid, isn't looking - but Andre keeps showing up, one van ride at a time. Despite their different rhythms - Ortigas deadlines versus Mandaluyong code sprints - they find themselves syncing in ways they never planned. Love begins to bloom where they least expect it: in between traffic jams, fast food takeouts, and quiet nights that turn into mornings.

I received a call from an unknown eleven-digit number saying that I should proceed to Greenbelt 4. After my work day, I proceeded to Greenbelt 4 and I met the person who called me.
