AN inseparable trio breaks into an emotional parting, and they must find their way back to each other. . . .

Samuel Crisostomo used to be out only to two people, his best friends Fernan and Rinia, before he came out publicly. His home isn't a safe space for his queerness so he's only ever himself when with them at Rinia's place.

For four years of junior high school, the three of them are a team, solid and inseparable. When one drunken night leads to a drunken sex, and the drunken sex leads to a secret relationship, and ultimately to a bitter parting, the inseparable trio is separated. But when they're grouped together for their research subject, their broken hearts are tested and unhealed old wounds are reopened.

As the trio pays the consequences of having two friends taking their friendship into a whole new commitment, they must now work to fix all their broken pieces and treat all their wounds or say goodbye to their friendship forever.

55 parts Complete Mature
Growing up in chaos isn't simple for all. Not many could cope. They would struggle and kick, but ultimately drown. However, for Dakota, that was his normality. Torturing. Maiming. Killing. That was his life, the life of a hunter. The Arizona line was elusive, written fame in the lore of hunters, and infamy for their prey. They were the best. No one could ever compare to their skills, their abilities, their ruthlessness. But Dakota was something else. His siblings might have learnt to enjoy the hunt, well most of them anyway, but Dakota didn't. There was always something missing for him, something he was waiting on. Silent and everlasting hope. A promise had been made to him, the day his twin brother was stolen, taken by the enemy, plucked right from the very home the Arizonas had grown up in. A promise of something better, something that he might actually want in his life. Now, almost sixteen years later, something was coming. A change was begging to be found. Maybe it would be for the best. Maybe Dakota would finally find that certain something that had been missing his whole life, something to fill the dark and fractured abyss that ached and wailed within. But nothing was ever that simple. Because, of course, the promise that had been made to Dakota would never be anything plausible for him, anything tangible to have and to hold. He had been promised a new life, by the greatest enemy of them all. It wouldn't be easy. Not with his family still clinging to his heels, the teachings of blood and violence burnt into his mind. No, leaving them behind wouldn't ever be easy. Then again, staying with them would only bring his inevitable death. Why not take the chance to die happy? After all, out of the ashes, a phoenix will rise...
