Being the eldest means being the first to face the world and the first to teach others how to conquer it.
For Marcella Amoret Aldana, vulnerability is not an option. She must remain steadfast for her family. Her strong-willed nature and relentless drive often leave her feeling isolated, misunderstood, and even unapproachable.
Marcella's independence, a trait she cultivated out of necessity, is a double-edged sword. While it earns her respect, it also creates a barrier, leaving some men to admire her from afar without daring to pursue her.
She experiences numerous failed relationships, each one deepening her sense of self-doubt. Marcella always shoulders the blame, thinking she is "too much"-too driven, too independent, too unyielding.
She feels like she is the maze itself, trapping everything inside-a maze that is draining, hard to navigate, and offers no escape.
