Amy
MARK is a college student from Tacloban who’s studying in Manila and has been living his life alone for the past 2 years, he’s lived a life of independence and loneliness; occasionally being visited by his relatives and friends but not often enough.
It’s December 8, 2013, a month after the massive typhoon Yolanda wiped out their home in Tacloban, where his family survived and miraculously lived.
The number one question in his head is the situation with his long-distance girlfriend AMY who was his high school sweetheart. No one found any trace of AMY and her family, so MARK deduced that she had been part of the many people passed away and who were buried in the mass burial sites in Tacloban or they may have gone missing, but he always held hope that they might be alive somewhere.
MARK is in a state of delirium, where the unreal becomes real and AMY is a part of him as much as he is a part of himself. He has to decide whether or not to move on and accept that she has indeed passed away or accept the imaginary world he created, that AMY will always be with him and that he’ll always love her and live with the guilt that he had taken the love of his life for granted.
Eventually, MARK is accepting of the idea that AMY is indeed alive in him, denying the fact that she has passed away. He cries out of desperation at the idea that she’s indeed going to stay.
