Wonder No More

For five years, Danyi roamed the world, chasing adventures and collecting stories instead of commitments. She told herself she had moved on, that she had healed from the past. But when a phone call from home brings her back to reality, she's forced to confront the truth-was she truly free, or had she just been running all along?

Returning to the Philippines was never in her plans, but now, she's ready to start a new chapter. No more aimless wandering. This time, she's setting a different kind of goal-one that terrifies her more than jumping out of a plane or walking alone in a foreign land.

Staying still. Finding home. Building something real.

Then she meets Eryx. A stranger, yet somehow familiar. A presence both unexpected and undeniable. He isn't part of her past, but something about him feels like he belongs in her future.

As she steps into a life she never imagined for herself, she begins to wonder-has she finally found the place where she truly belongs? Or is she about to lose herself in something even more terrifying than the unknown?

This time, Danyi isn't looking for an escape. She's searching for a reason to stay.
