They say the Takbalan waits behind things we dare to open-doors, mirrors, windows... even secrets.
When 17-year-old Rae moves into a burnt-down ancestral home in Batangas, she ignores every warning. But when the knocks start at 2:41 AM every night and her own reflection begins to twist, she realizes something ancient is watching her.
And it doesn't want her to leave.
It wants to be her.
A story about silence, shadows, and the kind of fear that doesn't scream-it waits.
