Ghosting is one of the phases that we encountered in our generation. A love that can be hidden, or something that they wanted to avoid, in order not to hurt the person that they treasure. Some people misunderstand it because they think that those people who have that kind of 'phase' are too selfish to choose themselves over them. But they never knew that they were also struggling in their own shadows.
Selene Nevara is a freshman student who loves to explore on her own. She believes that through exploration, everything can heal even the arts of disappearing. She never knew that everything will changed, once she entered her college life, even the hobbies that she loves the most.
Caelus Guevarra is a 2nd year student. A boy who loves to admire the silence of life, he doesn't want to be seen because he is already okay to be known for his own uniqueness. Despite being an introvert, he became the president of the College of Arts and Design. Everything is in his hand, even the life of disappearing.
Is love in their fate, or is love just a memory being hidden in their own shadows? Two admire the art of disappearing, one took it seriously, and one stayed despite being apart

Because the man she knew never knew how to shut up. Zien Silas Abarico was always the loudest when she was in the room... and the quietest when she wasn't. He memorized every part of her by heart, uttering her name, Sheir Rachel Dolina, as if it were the most delicate crystal- too fragile for anyone to touch, not even him. Their friendship was perfectly imperfect. He was whole; she was empty. She liked him. He didn't- or at least, that's what she chose to believe. But still, they clicked. He filled every broken part of her, sealed all the cracks, soothed the bruises she hid so well- only for him to break them apart again, worse than they were before. Now, she can't even pick up the pieces he made because the cut stings so bad it hurt. So how can they go back to the friendship they made after all the pain they caused? How can they look in each other's eyes and pretend like the years they spend was just a fleeting memory? Can things really go back to the way they were? Or will they have to accept that not all friendships are meant to last... And not all love is meant to be known? Because some stories are just meant to be left- Unsaid. And unheard.
