Year 2030*
The sunset is a sight to behold across the horizon of all lands in the Philippines, however, most of the people didn't appreciate its beauty at the moment because of someone's death.
Throughout the regions and cities of the Philippines, especially in Quezon City, the billboards are currently filled with the image of Antonio Christian Legaspi, a book author with a pen name of Yoyo Legaspi.
His books are mostly about romance, inspiring countless of his readers in their love journey.
The image of the nationally-renowned author made people stop walking and stare at it for a while.
However, it is not his face that made them stare ... it was the two sentences plastered in the billboards together with him.
'Love is a phenomenon that triggers death if it's too much. When a person loves someone deeply, they can even give their life for that beloved even if it ends up ruining themselves.' – Yoyo Legaspi
These two sentences are the only words written on the last page of his latest published book, as well as his last twitter update before he committed suicide.
After a while, people started walking away with a sorrowful expression on their faces as gossip buzzed among groups of individuals.
"I heard he committed suicide a week ago because his girlfriend cheated on him."
"He didn't deserve it. His girlfriend cheated on him with a middle-aged man ... sugar daddy lang?"
"He's so focused on his girlfriend that he didn't even notice how many of his fans love him and now are crying because of his death."
The day after the news of his death, social media were filled with sad posts about him which later on escalated to his fans wanting to send him a final goodbye, which then resulted in these billboards featuring him and his last words.
Below the billboards are filled with different kinds of flowers, no matter what region they belong.
People are flocking and mourning over his death and the rain continues to pour as if the sky is empathizing with their sorrow.

Somewhere not affected by time and space, in a room that looks like an abode of a celestial being …
A certain existence clothed in a long light blue robe, is watching the happenings in the earth right now through a shining spherical object with a grim expression on his face.
He possesses a beauty that doesn't belong to a human being but that of someone who is either a deity or a god with his long blonde hair that reaches down to his hips.
His golden eyes lingers on the multitudes of people grieving over a certain dead author.
Then his eyes move to an area across where he is currently sitting.
What he is looking at is a male human body laying unmovingly in a pure white bed.
It looked like a corpse at first glance because of its stillness.
Still, if one pays close attention to it, the male human body is breathing with peace as if in a deep sleep.
He stands up from his seat and walks toward the pure white bed.
The man lying on the bed has a medium-length shiny black hair that accentuates with his youthful visual.
His small face with long eyelashes, straight nose, and pink lips made him look androgynous.
His light brown skin on the other hand, screams manliness, making nobody doubt why his fans and readers are eighty-five percent female.
"Hmmm."
The man in a long light blue robe crossed his arms in front of his chest and observed the man lying on the bed.
"What a tragic experience you have suffered, my dear."
He then leaned forward and extended his hand to caress the cheeks of the unconscious man and softly whispered.
"Antonio … you're a very precious being who deserves everyone's love."
He leaned his face closer to the unconscious man's face until only an inch left between them.
"This time, I want you to experience genuine love. One that will not cause you any bitter pain in heart but fill your heart with sweet contentment."
After speaking, he planted a kiss on his forehead and soon …
A bright white light filled the area of the bed before the man lying on it disappeared, leaving the man in the light blue robe alone again in the room.
