MANILA, 2035.

A yawn in the shape of a city.

The air tastes like burnt plastic and broken promises. A cracked karaoke machine wails in the distance, it's singing the national anthem backwards. Somewhere, a three-star general sells sovereignty for cigarettes. The masses chant election jingles like hymns, dancing to the rhythm of their own decay.

A girl is found dead in a slum, somewhere she should never have been, and nowhere anyone was supposed to look.

The case does not unfold so much as it seeps: into the hands of a weary agent, into the obsessions of the dead girl's best friend, into the guilt-choked silence of a laborer who saw too much. And far from it all, in a decaying ancestral home that refuses to fall, a desperate heir seeks grace in whispered miracles.

Answers are not found at the end of this story. It is a story of what is buried, and who keeps digging.
