Matapos ang higit labin-limang taon, noon lang ulit nakatulog si Anona sa lumang tinitirhan nila nang yumaong abuelo sa Calatagan, Batangas. Mukhang doon niya na yata igugugol ang semestral break upang pansamantala ay makapag-tago sa napaka-invasive na tanong ng media. Para na rin panandaliang makatakas sa pagbubunganga ng Tito Dominic niya tungkol sa isang malagim na pangyayari-ang pagpapakamatay ng dati'y kasintahang si Robbie.

Isang araw habang namumulot ng mga panggatong sa dalampasigan ng liblib na lugar na iyon ay namataan ni Anona ang isang lalaking nakaupo sa malaking bato sa dagat. Tila ito nakikipaglaro sa kamatayan. Wala itong katinag-tinag sa kabila ng pagdamba rito ng malalakas na alon. 

Hindi mapagtawad ang sulok ng karagatang 'yon sa gano'ng oras. Tatakbo na pauwi si Anona nang umalingawngaw ang malakas na tunog ng pagbagsak. The man fell off the rock and couldn't or perhaps didn't do anything to save himself. 
Night fell. The tide aggressively rose. The waves seethed.

Oh no. Not another suicidal man, Anona thought. But what exactly are these sweet notes the man reeks that fills up an emptiness inside her? Ano itong nakabaong sulok ng kanyang pagkatao na ngayo'y namumutawi?
