[AL MONLEON SERIES #1—EVAN CHRAYSTLER AL MONLEON] Nang ipapatay ni Lord Amanncio Al Monleon, ang kilalang mafia king, ang mga magulang ni Andrea Maureen “Ada” Salvegas, inakala niyang tapos na ang lahat—hanggang sa ginawa siyang pambayad sa utang ng mga ito at pinasok bilang lingkod sa mansyon ng mga Al Monleon.

At paano kung matuklasan niyang si Evan ay bahagi pala ng isang nakaraan na matagal nang binura ng kaniyang alaala? Handa ba siyang ipaglaban ang pag-ibig sa isang Frigid Mafia Prince, o pipiliin niyang kalimutan ito kapalit ng hustisya at galit na matagal na niyang pinanghahawakan?

In the coastal quiet of Baler, a studio is born—not of architecture, but of intention.* Founded by Yam, a poet whose words cradle pain gently, and Franc, an artist who paints tenderness into walls, the studio becomes a refuge for those learning to stay—with grief, love, longing, and themselves. As visitors arrive, they leave behind more than footprints: a sigh recorded in bamboo, a poem tucked into the “Found Letters” shelf, a mural painted in crooked lines. Through zines, tea, silence, and sketchbooks, the studio teaches softness as revolution. Ren creates the *Window of Soft Returns*, an installation of anonymous voice recordings—each whisper forming a community of echoes. Drew builds the *Staircase With No Wrong Turns*, inviting people to walk through emotions without shame. Franc offers brushstrokes as brave work, and Yam curates writing circles that map healing in half sentences. Together, they host festivals that feel like hugs, and they begin traveling their archive, letting softness cross oceans. Even those who once left—like Miguel—return, discovering that some doors never truly close. Others, like Tala, capture the studio’s sound and turn it into a podcast of breath and becoming. Over seventy chapters, the studio transforms into something larger than itself: a mural of memory, a sanctuary for second chances, a place where return is sacred and voice is proof of survival. In the final bloom, the studio stands not as a monument—but as a reminder: > *“Staying isn’t easy. > But chosen together, > it becomes home.”*
