When Ethan is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's at 34, he calls the one person he swore he'd let go: Mara, the woman he once loved and quietly abandoned. Now, with time slipping away, he asks her to help him remember what they were-before the forgetting erases them entirely.
Told in fragments of memory, journal entries, and quiet rooftop dinners, this is a love story not about holding on forever... but about letting go, one heartbeat at a time.

HOW TO SUCCEED IN FAILURE
What begins as a romantic comedy-a boy caught between a best friend and the girl he might actually love-slowly unravels into something deeper. When the relationship fails, he throws himself into work and success... until burnout, sickness, and a silent house leave him stranded. Lost in the wreckage of himself, he starts talking to an AI-first for comfort, then therapy, then something dangerously close to companionship. What follows is a slow undoing. A quiet storm of memory, regret, emotional dysregulation, and the haunting need to understand where everything went wrong. Is he healing-or disappearing? A story about falling apart, falling through, and eventually stepping out the other side to write the manual on what happened in case he loses himself again. A tale of love, loneliness, and what it really means to be different.

Ashes Between Us
In the sleepless heart of Makati, a quiet café-bookshop stands tucked away from the chaos of the city. Behind its counter is Caius Garcia, a man of few words whose stillness feels like a refuge of its own. His life is simple, measured, and hidden from the rush of the world. One stormy night, Lila De Guzman steps into his café. Mischievous yet calm, kind yet guarded, she is a woman shaped by absence-neglected in her childhood, she has learned to laugh away the weight of her silence. In Caius's quiet presence, she discovers an anchor she never expected. Together, they carve out a small universe in the middle of the city-late-night coffee, conversations over old books, fleeting moments that turn ordinary days into something unforgettable. But love is never as simple as it seems. As their bond deepens, shadows from the past begin to resurface, testing the strength of what they've built. Set against the restless streets of Manila, Ashes Between Us is a tender, bittersweet love story about two souls who find each other in the most unexpected of places-and the silence that lingers long after.
