Till Your Dying Day

Si VALERIA MORETTI (aka Valerrie De Luca-Mendoza) ay literally living for over two centuries na-and tbh, it's giving sumpa, not a blessing. Immortal by science, pero completely empty inside because of grief. Gurl has watched empires crumble, languages go extinct, and whole generations come and go while she stays entirely numb.

Isang beses lang siyang na-in love. Completely and catastrophically. And when Selene died, nilibing din niya yung kaisa-isang version ng sarili niya na marunong pang mabuhay. Nag-relocate ang ferson sa Pilipinas to move on. Pero nag-stay siya kasi literal na hindi nag-work ang moving on phase niya.

Ngayon, out of sheer boredom masquerading as "purpose," nag-enroll siya sa isang university somewhere in Katipunan. Walking through those hallways full of Gen Z noise na hindi na niya ma-gets, surrounded by kids na yung pinaka-stressful na problem ay na-outlive na niya 100x over. Zero expectations na siya. Literal na dead inside.

Meanwhile, SABINA ANASTASIA REYES is a 20-year-old half-Pinay, half-Russian girlie na laging fully exhausted, running on three hours of sleep and a hot chocolate na hindi niya maubos-ubos. 3rd-year Pharma student. Scholar. Weekend barista na laging nag-o-O.T. nang malala.

Maingay siya kapag kailangan ng katahimikan. Super stubborn kapag dapat nag-a-adjust. And when she laughs? Genuine and literal na nakaka-fill ng buong room without even trying. Little does she know, may isang taong secretly waiting for that exact laugh. For that exact face.

When their paths finally cross sa sterile, fluorescent-lit laboratory ng campus, Val doesn't just see a classmate.
Nakakita siya ng literal na multo.
She sees Selene.

And that is the start of the most dangerous plot twist in her 230 years of existence. Not because Sab is Celene. But because, she is absolutely and devastatingly not.

She is entirely, unapologetic Sab.
At walang ka-ide-ideya si Val kung anong gagawin dun.
