The drones suddenly lit up, gathering together to form what resembled the cover of a book. Then a line of words appeared: [This is the story of…]

The drones changed position.

First, they showed a girl caring for what appeared to be a sick boy. The girl seemed afraid of needles, yet she continued donating her blood.

In the second scene, the boy was healed. They were getting married. The girl was seen sewing a suit for him and a gown for herself.

In the third scene, the boy took the girl’s gown and gave it to another woman before walking into the church with her.

In the fourth scene, the girl tried to hold back her tears as everyone laughed at her. Just then, another boy appeared. He handed her a handkerchief, but she turned away and left.

The fifth scene showed an auction. A precious bracelet belonging to the girl’s late mother came up for bidding. The boy from earlier and his new wife tried to bid it away from her. The girl begged them to stop, but they didn’t.

In the sixth scene, the Handkerchief Boy quietly appeared and bought the bracelet for her before vanishing into the crowd.

In the seventh, the girl thanked the Handkerchief Boy, who confessed his feelings. She shook her head and

avoided him.

In the eighth, the girl fought with her ex. They went to City Hall and court, but her ex kept skipping sessions, preventing them from finalizing the divorce.

In the ninth, the first boy fell ill. His family pressured the girl to help him again.

In the tenth, the girl won the case and left the man. She walked out of the court triumphantly.

In the eleventh, Handkerchief Boy reappeared, his heart open to her. The girl shook her head and walked away.

In the twelfth, Handkerchief Boy didn’t give up. He followed her, stopping whenever she stopped, walking whenever she did. Finally, she turned around, and he extended his hand.
