Buried Beneath the Lives We Built

Burned out and left with nothing, Maiah Felysse Almiro disappears from the city without a word. She leaves everything behind and returns to the place she once called home. Tired, afraid, and desperate for peace in a world that no longer made sense.

But peace doesn't come easily.

During her quiet days back home, she encounters someone unexpected. Reive Dharylle Gaviola, a man from a past she thought she had let go. Once, he was part of a childhood memory now blurred by time. Now, he lives quietly, almost humbly, as if untouched by the chaos of the world beyond.

Maiah is caught between familiarity and distance, as if they are two puzzle pieces that almost fit, but don't.

He is different. Too different. And the question of what changed, and what's been hidden, begins to unravel a truth neither of them are ready for.

Because sometimes, the past doesn't wait to be remembered. It finds you.
