Velvet Echoes

For Noah Vergara, music isn't just a hobby-it's the language of his heart. Every playlist he creates carries pieces of himself, hidden confessions only he understands. But when his most personal playlist-Velvet Echoes-suddenly vanishes, Noah's life is thrown into disarray.

Soon, songs from the missing playlist begin reappearing in mysterious messages, each one tied to a memory he shares with Alaric "Rico" Dela Peña, his childhood best friend and the boy he once loved in silence. Their friendship ended in heartbreak, and Noah thought he had buried those feelings deep.

The trail of songs leads Noah along the streets and riverbanks of Cagayan de Oro, where the legend of the Oro Fish whispers: what is lost will always resurface. With every echo of the past, Noah is forced to confront the truth he ran away from-the love he never confessed, and the boy who still lingers in the music.

In a city where myths and memories intertwine, Noah must decide: will he let their love remain as soft echoes of velvet in the past, or will he find the courage to give their song a second chance?
