Coming back to Philippines after studying in Boston, Massachusetts, she started to live a life again. She realized that crucifying herself for her exes' death won't justify anything. She'll take the chance to love again. She took the risk, not minding how catastrophic it was. And she will do everything to avoid the inevitable, to protect him at all cost. Even if it means sacrificing her own happiness.
