Witness Stories

He's been called the Devil for 1000 years. He carries every lie, every hurt, every "I don't care" so you don't have to. I met him in a room with no doors. He wasn't scary. He was crying. So I asked the one question no one ever asked him: "Why are you crying?" This is the story of what happened after. Of the mark on my wrist. Of the rule: Ask. Listen. Let go. Of learning that saving someone isn't fixing them. It's sitting in the dark until it's less dark. Even villains get lonely. Even darkness needs someone who won't run. Even you deserve to be asked. A complete short story about grief, compassion, and the night the devil cried.

Years after leaving Philippine Science High School Main Campus, Sheena Marie Ballesteros returns for an alumni gathering expecting the usual reunion rituals: old jokes, career updates, group photos, and the strange experience of seeing former classmates as adults. Then Christopher Laurence Marquez walks in. Everyone remembers Christopher as the quiet one: brilliant, careful, composed, and difficult to read. He was the kind of batchmate people respected from a distance, someone who always seemed certain of where he was going even when the rest of them were still figuring themselves out. Years later, Christopher is still unmistakably himself, with the same precision, quietness, and habit of listening before he speaks. Yet as the afternoon goes on, Sheena begins to notice small differences she cannot quite name, enough to make the version of Christopher in her memory feel incomplete. Between familiar teasing, old stories, and conversations shaped by the years they spent apart, Sheena and their batchmates begin to reconsider what they thought they knew about one another. What starts as an ordinary school reunion becomes a quiet look at memory, adulthood, and the gap between the people we remember and the people they become when life continues beyond our view.

The Selenite Realm is its own world, yet closely connected to ours. What happens on Earth is likely to also happen there. Which means this could spell out doom for the Selenite Realm in the mid-late 2000s, when a financial crisis emerges on Earth. Through the eyes of four young friends, whose parents are all business executives in major Selenite Realm companies, they are simply witnessing the whole thing while their parents do the work.
