Tidal Misery [Philippine Setting]

Tidal Misery, it suggests something vast, powerful, and cyclical; just like the tides itself, it rises and falls but always returns. However, it comes with a deep weight of grief, despair and emotional pain.

How can I go against his principles when he has thrown me aside to die protecting his Nation?
