According to Philippines Psychiatric Association, suicide rates are highest among young adults aged 15-24. This shows that those who suffer from depression and tried to commit suicides are mostly students. However, students rarely speak up about such personal problems and instead choose to set it aside because they would rather focus on other things such as their academics.The story is focused on Manang Tina, a 47-year old school janitress who finds a life-threatening vandalism on the back of the girls' bathroom cubicle door. The words written on the cubicle door seemed to bother Manang Tina endlessly. Without knowing who wrote those words, Manang Tina contemplates if she should write a reply or just let it be. Eventually, she writes back, offering words of comfort. Sophia comes back to use the same cubicle and is surprised to see the reply. The the two continue their conversation, still clueless of each other's identity. Sophia slowly takes into her heart Manang Tina's concern and eventually finds comfort in knowing that she is not alone.
