It's night, but technically a very early Monday morning (past midnight). As they chat with each other by the window sill, Calista questions Marvin, wanting to know more about him. She asks him a question about Luna, wondering if she was already born when his mother passed away. Marvin answers Calista's questions, clarifying something huge to her. Marvin Line 1) Luna and I were half-siblings. We only shared a father together. After my mother passed away when I was a baby, ten years later, my father had another fling, in which Luna's mother gave birth to her. Marvin speaks in a manner of disappointment, an expression of dejection adamant on his face. Marvin Line 2) Both Luna and I were unexpected. This time around, when Luna was born, her mother didn't want to be present in her life. So, she left Luna with my father, walking away from all of our lives forever, wanting nothing to do with us. Marvin speaks reminiscently. Marvin Line 3) I vaguely remember seeing her when I was younger, but my memory is fuzzy because I was only ten. When I got older, Mama Millie* told me that my father did everything he could to locate her, but she was nowhere to be found. *Marvin's caretaker (refer back to episode 11, line 110). Calista releases a sigh of sadness, feeling immensely upset about everything Marvin has been through. Calista Line 4) Goodness, Marvin. I'm so incredibly sorry about all of that. I can't imagine how difficult that must've been for you and your family. Marvin gives Calista a melancholic smile, feeling her sincere sympathy. Marvin Line 5) Thank you, Calista, but you don't have to worry. Luna and I were way too young to comprehend whatever affairs were going on in our household. Again, Mama Millie stepped in, raising the two of us like no other. Calista questions Marvin in worry, a grim expression engulfing her face. Calista Line 6) Mama Millie is still alive, right? Marvin speaks in a reassuring manner, his tone tender as he thinks about his beloved caretaker. Marvin Line 7) Yes, she is. She's doing really well, too. Her contract for being my caretaker ended ten years ago, but I visit her all the time. We continue to stay close in touch with each other. I consider her the only parental figure in my life, to be honest. It's like she's my real mom. I definitely regard her as one to me. Calista smiles at Marvin in relief. She speaks curiously, wanting to know more about Marvin's life. Calista Line 8) Thank goodness. I'm very glad you have her by your side. What was it like growing up for you with everything you had going on? Marvin explains things to Calista in detail so that she can fully visualize his experiences. *We get a flashback of Marvin when he was five, sadly walking to his room after being scolded by his dad for distracting him with his work. His caretaker, Mama Millie, enters his room, towels in her hands, ready to bathe Marvin for the night. She speaks to him in a tone of excitement, ready to pamper Marvin. Mama Millie Line 9) Mr. Marvin? Are you ready to take your bath? Marvin stays silent, sulking as she sits on the edge of his bed, his tiny back slouched over dejectedly. Mama Millie tilts her head to the side, wondering why Marvin isn't answering her. She sets the towels down on Marvin's clothing shelves in his room and approaches him facing away from her, as he droops his head down sadly. She places her hand on his shoulder, her touch gentle and affectionate, reading the room about something being wrong. She kneels in front of Marvin, facing him to get a good look at him. Her eyebrows furrow in concern as she observes his expression, wondering why he's so upset. She runs her hands through his hair tenderly, caressing his face consolingly. She questions him in worry, her tone soft as she looks out for him. Mama Millie Line 10) Hey, you. Is everything alright? Marvin pouts his lips and folds his arms, continuing to sulk. Mama Millie speaks in a playful tone, hoping her demeanor will help Marvin feel comfortable enough to open up to her. Mama Millie Line 11) Come on~ You know you can tell me everything~ Mama Millie pokes Marvin's cheek, his chubby cheeks bouncing back from her gentle touch. Marvin can't help but smile at Mama Millie's gesture, trying to hide his lifted spirits from her. Mama Millie places her hands on her hips, putting Marvin on the spot for his concealment. Mama Millie Line 12) You know you can't hide that precious little smile of yours, Mister~ So what happened? Marvin gives Mama Millie puppy dog eyes, speaking in a hurt manner. Marvin Line 13) Papa yelled at me... Mama Millie's eye twitches in irritation. She speaks curiously, providing Marvin solace. Mama Millie Line 14) How could anyone yell at my sweet little Marvin? What did you do? Marvin speaks truthfully. Marvin Line 15) I ruffled up his papers when he wasn't in his office. Mama Millie responds understandingly. Mama Millie Line 16) Ahh. I see... Next time, don't do that, Marvin. You know how your father is about that office of his. Marvin nods his head sadly. Mama Millie squishes Marvin's cheek, continuing to cheer him up. She speaks in a supportive tone. Mama Millie Line 17) Know you didn't do anything wrong, sweetie. Your father shouldn't have yelled at you. Who cares about a bunch of papers, right? I'll have a conversation with him about that, but you should still make sure not to disturb him when he's working. Mama Millie speaks in an offended manner. Mama Millie Line 18) Try not to let him get to you. Your father's cranky for God knows whatever reason. That's just the way he is, but I'm here for you, dear. You can bug me all you want because it's my job to take care of you~ Mama Millie speaks determinedly. Mama Millie Line 19) Anyway, onto business. You, Mister, need to take a shower and head to bed. It's way past your bedtime. Marvin nods his head obligingly, continuing to pout his lips because he doesn't want to head to bed. Mama Millie notices Marvin's crushed demeanor, offering him some leniency. She speaks excitedly. Mama Millie Line 20) Your rubber duckies are waiting to be played with in the bathtub. Let's play with them before we call it a night, shall we? Marvin's eyes sparkle from the enticing suggestion, smiling at Mama Millie happily and nodding his head cheerfully. *Ten years pass. Mama Millie is helping Marvin get ready for his birthday in his room. Marvin looks at himself in the mirror as Mama Millie ties his tie, intently watching how she does it so that he can learn from her. Mama Millie finishes tying his tie and warmly hugs him from behind, glancing at him in the mirror proudly. She speaks sentimentally. Mama Millie Line 21) Look at you. You're all grown up, big boy. Marvin releases a chuckle, speaking pragmatically. Marvin Line 22) I'm far from grown, Mama Millie. You know I'm still your little old Marvin. Mama Millie speaks reminiscently. Mama Millie Line 23) It feels like it was just yesterday when you were learning how to walk, drinking milk from a bottle, and cooing with all your might... Mama Millie gently caresses Marvin's face, turning his head to face her. She speaks in a manner of disbelief, her affection for Marvin heavily prominent. Mama Millie Line 24) And now you're turning fifteen. What a big milestone, sweetheart. I'm so happy for you! Mama Millie's eyes start to water, feeling emotional as she reflects on Marvin's growth. She glances back at him in the mirror, measuring his height compared to hers. Mama speaks nostalgically. Mama Millie Line 25) I mean, just look at you. You're already way taller than me. Time has gone by so quickly. Mama Millie is unable to hold back her tears, letting them flow down her face. Marvin looks at Mama Millie nervously, wiping her tears away in concern. He speaks sympathetically. Marvin Line 26) Please don't cry, Mama Millie. I'm not worth your tears. Mama Millie caresses Marvin's hand on her face as he wipes her tears away. She speaks in an offended manner at his remark. Mama Millie Line 27) How dare you say that? You're more than worth my tears. Mama Millie embraces Marvin in a hug, burying her face into his shoulder. A bittersweet smile curls onto Marvin's lips, hugging Mama Millie back tightly. Mama Millie speaks fondly. Mama Millie Line 28) You're my entire world, Marvin. I love you more than words can describe, dear~ Marvin's eyes melt from Mama Millie's words, feeling immensely touched. He speaks affectionately. Marvin Line 29) I love you, too, mom. Always and forever~ Mama Millie kisses Marvin's cheek, smiling at him happily. Marvin's younger sister, Luna, suddenly barges into his room, speaking to him rashly. Luna Line 30) Hurry up, Kuya!* Your friends are waiting for you! *Kuya in Tagalog (the national language of the Philippines) is a term people use to address older brothers or people they consider as their older brothers out of respect. Mama Millie speaks in a tone of concern, not expecting Luna to suddenly barge in on the two of them. Mama Millie Line 31) Ms. Luna. We were sharing a moment. Luna speaks impatiently, placing her hands on her hips sassily. Luna Line 32) What's taking you guys so long? Mama Millie approaches Luna, gently parenting her. Mama Millie Line 33) What have I told you about barging into other people's rooms, sweetie? Luna thinks to herself and answers cluelessly. Luna Line 34) Mmm... I forgot. Mama Millie smiles, feeling amused by Luna's bubbly personality. She speaks in a tone of worry. Mama Millie Line 35) Well, let me remind you not to do it again. Rooms are private spaces. Make sure to knock if you want to be let in, okay? Luna speaks in a frantic manner. Luna Line 36) But this was an emergency! Marvin's friends are here! Luna approaches her brother, swiftly grabbing his hand to drag him out of his room. Luna Line 37) Stop being such a slow poke! Don't you know it's bad manners to keep your guests waiting?! Marvin releases a chuckle of happiness, finding his sister's urgency cute. He lets her lead the way to his friends. Mama Millie releases a sigh of distress, speaking wholesomely. Mama Millie Line 38) Just what am I going to do with that girl? *Shot cuts to Marvin and Luna heading downstairs to the living room of their house to greet their guests. Marvin's narration: Line 39) Not long ago, my younger sister, Luna, was born. Line 40) She's ten years younger than me, five years old at the moment. Line 41) As a little kid, I always wanted a sibling... Line 42) With her finally being born, my life became vivacious. There was never a dull moment. She was always entertaining, and I utterly adored being her older brother. Marvin and Luna make it downstairs to the living room. Marvin observes all of his friends waiting and holding presents for him. Luna speaks in an obvious manner. Luna Line 43) See?! Everyone has been waiting forever for you! Marvin looks at all of his friends timidly, feeling bad for keeping them waiting. Marvin Line 44) Hello everyone. S-sorry for the long wait. *Shot pans to Marvin's friend Jax. • Name: Jax Guo • Age: Fifteen • Relationship: Has been friends with Marvin ever since Kindergarten (one of Marvin's oldest friends). Jax speaks to Marvin in a snarky tone. Jax Line 45) Even Cady gets ready faster, dude. Happy birthday, though. *Shot pans to Marvin's friend Cady. • Name: Cady Wanyama • Age: Fifteen • Relationship: Is neighborhood friends with Marvin. Cady replies in an offended manner. Cady Line 46) I don't see anything wrong with someone wanting to take their time. Anyway, happy birthday, Marvin! *Shot pans to Marvin's friend Russell. • Name: Russell Jimenez • Age: Fifteen • Relationship: Has been friends with Marvin ever since middle school. Russell speaks his mind, poking fun at Jax. Russell Line 47) If you ask me, I find it suspicious when someone gets ready too quickly. Happy birthday, Marvin. *Note: Todd is not included because he and Marvin meet when they are in university (refer back to episode 11, line 32, etc). Cady speaks sassily. Cady Line 48) I agree, which means you're suspicious, Jax. I'll make sure to think twice before shaking hands with you ever again. I'm guessing your hands are unclean because you probably don't wash them properly since you get ready so quickly. Jax replies defensively, his tone passionate and slightly cocky. Jax Line 49) I'll have you know that I sing my ABCs twice as I wash my hands, thank you very much. I even use extra soap. They're perfectly clean, for your information! Cady speaks playfully, making fun of Jax for amusement. Cady Line 50) You're telling me you sing your ABCs while washing your hands? Can't you just know when your hands are clean enough without having to sing your ABCs? Embarrassing... Jax speaks in an offended manner. Jax Line 51) Hey! Singing it twice amounts to sixty seconds; therefore, there are absolutely no germs left on my hands whatsoever. Plus, it's a very educational song! Luna has my back on that, right? Jax looks over at Luna, anticipating an agreeable answer from her to support him. Everyone else also looks at Luna, wanting to know how she'll respond. Luna folds her arms, speaking playfully. Luna Line 52) Sorry, Jax, but I've grown out of that phase. Guess you still haven't. Jax's jaw drops from Luna's snarky remark. Everyone laughs at her comment. Marvin speaks reassuringly for Jax not to be bummed out, worried he'll get butt hurt. Marvin Line 53) Don't worry, Jax. I'll fend for you. They all continue talking as they hang out with each other, enjoying their time together as they celebrate Marvin's birthday. Marvin's narration: Line 54) I always found it uplifting to be surrounded by loved ones, especially on these kinds of occasions. Line 55) I savored and appreciated every moment I had with them. Things were just always better when they were around. Line 56) I knew I could rely on them because they were there for me no matter what. Line 57) Not everyone has people like that in their lives, and I don't take them for granted one bit. I couldn't possibly ask for more. As Luna, Mama Millie, and Marvin's friends all continue hanging out for his birthday, Mama Millie prepares Marvin's cake, lighting up his candles for him to make a wish. Marvin sits Luna on his lap for them to blow out his candles together after making their wish. As they enjoy the birthday cake, Marvin opens up his gifts, thanking his friends and continuing to hang out with them before it gets late. The party wraps up, and Marvin's friends leave, with him bidding them goodbye and thanking them for their visit. Marvin makes his way over to his room, unwinding for the day. He tidies up a bit before tucking himself into bed when Luna barges in once again. She excitedly skips over to Marvin, sitting herself on his bed, eagerly wanting to converse with him. She questions him curiously. Luna Line 58) So... how does it feel to be fifteen?! Marvin answers Luna playfully. Marvin Line 59) Isn't it way past your bedtime, Luna? Besides, didn't Mama Millie tell you not to barge into people's rooms earlier?* *Refer back to lines 33 and 35 of this episode. Luna speaks in a passionately indifferent manner. Luna Line 60) Ugh! Why does that matter? You're my Kuya. And I'm not tired enough for bed right now. Marvin smirks at Luna happily, finding her response sneakily reasonable. He pats her on the head affectionately, adoring her company. Luna speaks in a nosy tone. Luna Line 61) So? Answer the question! Marvin seats himself beside Luna on his bed. Luna pretends to hold a microphone, shoving an imaginary one in Marvin's face, awaiting his answer. Marvin speaks transparently. Marvin Line 62) If I'm being honest, I feel the same. Luna swiftly flicks Marvin's forehead. Marvin flinches from the affliction, rubbing his forehead sadly. He questions Luna crushingly from the unexpected hit. Marvin Line 63) Ouchie. What was that for? That forehead flick was surprisingly hard for a five-year-old. I don't know if I should be upset or impressed with you. Luna speaks in a dissatisfied tone. Luna Line 64) You should feel impressed. But anyway, you're not supposed to give me a boring answer like that! Do better, Kuya! Marvin rolls his eyes playfully, speaking amusingly. Marvin Line 65) Then would you rather have me lie to you instead, Luna? Luna speaks curiously, a sparkle glimmering in her eye for answers from Marvin. Luna Line 66) No. But don't you feel mature? More experienced? You're almost an adult. Aren't you ready to take on life? Marvin speaks in a melancholic tone, speaking realistically with Luna. Marvin Line 67) When you get older, you'll understand that aging is completely overrated. I may be fifteen, but I still feel like a kid, and honestly, I wish I still were one. Luna looks at Marvin in confusion. She questions him inquisitively. Luna Line 68) I don't get it. Shouldn't you be happy about growing up? I want to be a grown-up, too! Marvin speaks in a clarifying manner. Marvin Line 69) Trust me when I say that it's not all that, Luna. Being younger is ten times better. I'd do anything to be your age again. Luna speaks dismissively, folding her arms offendedly at Marvin for his negative answers. Luna Line 70) Well, boo hoo! I'm gonna be a princess when I'm older! And I'm gonna fall in love with my prince charming and live happily ever after, Kuya! Marvin smiles at Luna wholesomely, speaking encouragingly. Marvin Line 71) I'm sure you will. Just promise me to enjoy your youth, Luna. Because before you know it, you'll be all grown up soon, regretting you ever wished to be older. Marvin pats Luna on the head affectionately. Luna speaks to Marvin enthusiastically, wanting to lift his spirits. Luna Line 72) Nobody should be this sad on their birthday. I have an idea of what we could do to cheer you up! Marvin tilts his head to the side puzzlingly, wondering what Luna's up to. Luna replies excitedly. Luna Line 73) You should get a girlfriend! Marvin's eyes bulge in shock at Luna's response. He questions her disconcertedly, taken aback by her unexpected suggestion. Marvin Line 74) What? Where's this coming from? Luna speaks informatively, her tone encouraging. Luna Line 75) Russell* told me he has a girlfriend and that she makes him happy. *Marvin's friend from earlier (refer back to line 47 of this episode). Marvin bursts into laughter from Russell's silly lie, doubting the information. He speaks playfully. Marvin Line 76) Pft! In his dreams. Russell wishes. Luna speaks faithfully, believing in Russell wholeheartedly. Luna Line 77) He seemed so happy when he told me. It seems legit to me. If a girlfriend makes him so happy, don't you think you should get one, too, Kuya? Why not ask out Cady?* *Marvin's friend from earlier (refer back to line 46, etc, of this episode). Marvin speaks dismissively, smirking at Luna's innocence. Marvin Line 78) I'm still way too young for all of that, Luna. Dating can wait. And Cady and I are just friends. Don't tell anyone about this, but she has a crush on Jax.* Jax has a crush on her, too~ *Marvin's friend from earlier (refer back to line 45, etc, of this episode). Luna questions Marvin in confusion. Luna Line 79) If they have crushes on each other, why don't they just date? Marvin shrugs his shoulders, feeling just as confused as Luna. Luna Line 80) Whatever. You need to find your princess, Kuya, and fall in love like they do in the fairy tales! 'Cause then you'll have your happily ever after! Wouldn't that be amazing?! Marvin's narration: Line 81) Back then, I took my sister's words way too lightly, not thinking much of them. Line 82) But after her sickness got the best of her... Line 83) Her words echoed in my mind like a broken record, haunting me. *A couple of months pass by, and Luna unexpectedly becomes sick with her terminal illness. In her room, Marvin sits beside Luna, lying on her bed, with a rag on her head as she rests unsettlingly. Marvin squeezes her hand gently, his eyebrows furrowed in worry, wondering how she had fallen into this state. Mama Millie walks into Luna's room, not expecting Marvin to be there. She questions him in confusion. Mama Millie Line 84) Marvin? When did you get here? Marvin stands up, approaching Mama Millie in concern. He speaks to her apprehensively. Marvin Line 85) I just came home from school and checked in on Luna as usual, but found her like this... Wh-what happened? Mama Millie chokes on her words, unable to hold her tears back. She speaks upsettingly, feeling horrible for breaking the bad news to Marvin. Mama Millie Line 86) It's bad, Marvin. She's really sick. We don't know what to do. Marvin's heart drops to his stomach in disbelief. Marvin embraces Mama Millie as she cries, trying his best to console her, though he is disconcerted by the terrible news. *A couple of days go by, and Marvin reads a bedtime story to Luna as she rests on her bed, looking exhausted as the sickness continues to take a toll on her body. Marvin speaks visually, smiling as he tells Luna her bedtime story. Marvin Line 87) Princess Yvette knew that she and Prince Lawrence would live happily ever after. The end~ Marvin closes Luna's book, eagerly glancing at her for her input. He questions her curiously. Marvin Line 88) What do you think of that story, Luna? It's some good stuff, right? Luna questions Marvin in worry. Luna Line 89) Why do you keep asking me that question after we finish reading each book? Marvin releases a chuckle of amusement, answering Luna's question honestly. Marvin Line 90) I just want to know your thoughts. It's important I know whether or not you're enjoying the stories I'm reading to you. Luna nods her head comprehendingly, taking a deep breath to try and gather the strength to reply to Marvin. Luna Line 91) Well, I obviously liked it because the princess and prince lived happily ever after. That's the best ending I could ever ask for, Kuya. Marvin smiles at Luna happily, leaning in to gently kiss her on her forehead. He puts her book away, conversing with her eagerly and massaging her hands softly to comfort her. Marvin Line 92) You sure like fairy tales, huh, Luna? Luna answers Marvin bubbly. Luna Line 93) Of course! They're the best kinds of stories! Marvin fiddles with Luna's necklace, centering her pendant after it had strayed to the side from all her tossing and turning as she rests in bed. Marvin speaks enthusiastically. Marvin Line 94) Still wearing that necklace Mama Millie gave you a while back, huh? Luna replies proudly. Luna Line 95) You betcha! It makes me feel pretty. Plus, I love the moon pendant on it. It suits me really well, don't you agree? Marvin responds in a genuine manner, looking into Luna's eyes sentimentally. Marvin Line 96) Of course, it suits you, Luna. You look beautiful with it on~ Luna smiles at Marvin bashfully from his remark. A moment of silence passes between the two of them as they appreciate each other's company. Luna questions Marvin inquisitively. Luna Line 97) ... Can I ask you something, Kuya? Marvin speaks reassuringly. Marvin Line 98) You don't have to ask me for permission to ask things. Never hesitate. Ask away. Luna speaks timidly. Luna Line 99) I mean what I said the night of your birthday. I want you to find a girlfriend because I know it'll make you happy.* So, will you do that for me? *Refer back to line 73 of this episode, etc. Marvin releases a sigh of happiness, speaking affectionately. Marvin Line 100) I don't need a girlfriend to be happy, Luna. I have you. Luna speaks in a melancholic manner. Luna Line 101) But... I won't be here much longer... Marvin's throat closes up, his eyes accumulating tears from Luna's devastating remark. His lips quiver in sadness as he gets emotional. Tears fill his eyes and slide down his face. Luna squeezes Marvin's hand, speaking devotedly. Luna Line 102) You need someone to keep you company when I'm gone, so find someone to love and someone who will love you back, Kuya Marvin. Luna speaks suggestingly. Luna Line 103) I won't be able to grow up to be a princess and fall in love with my prince charming,* so you have to do that for me, Kuya. Make sure to buy your true love lots of sweets and give them warm hugs. I'm sure they'd like that. *Refer back to line 70 of this episode. Luna speaks passionately. Luna Line 104) You have to find your princess and live happily ever after with them because I can't. Can you promise me that? Marvin wipes his tears as she cries, looking into Luna's eyes wholesomely. Luna tucks all fingers except her pinky, extending it towards Marvin for him to seal his promise. Marvin smiles at Luna for her persistence, interlocking his pinky with hers. Luna speaks to Marvin eagerly. Luna Line 105) Can you say it? Marvin speaks authentically. Marvin Line 106) I promise to find my princess and live happily ever after with them, Luna. Don't you worry. I'll make sure to do it for the both of us. Luna smiles, feeling satisfied by Marvin's answer. Marvin runs his fingers through Luna's hair, consoling her as she starts to get sleepy. Marvin Line 107) I love you so much, Luna. Luna answers Marvin softly, feeling tired by his comforting touch. Luna Line 108) I love you, too, Kuya. Marvin's narration: Line 109) Before I knew it, Luna passed away. *Shot cuts to Marvin, his father, and Mama Millie at a cemetery to bury Luna after her funeral service. Mama Millie rests her head on Marvin's shoulder, crying as they lower Luna's coffin into the ground. Marvin stares at Luna's coffin in disbelief, tears streaming down his face in anguish. The three of them throw peonies (Luna's favorite flowers) on her coffin before the workers bury her. Line 110) I was never the same after she left us. Line 111) I grew cold against the world, not understanding how they could possibly have taken my dear sister away from me. Line 112) My stubbornness got the best of me, and I overlooked the simple wish my sister wanted me to grant to her. Line 113) How could I hold her precious pinky and swear to make her dreams come true but then have it all end in a disaster? *Shot cuts to Marvin and Calista continuing to talk with each other by the window sill in the living room. Marvin fiddles with his necklace, holding the moon charm that his sister had on her necklace that was gifted to her by Mama Millie (refer back to line 94 of this episode). Tears stream down Calista's face as she hears Marvin's story, feeling deeply upset by it. Marvin looks at Calista in panic, not expecting her to cry. He apologizes to her anxiously. Marvin Line 114) I-I'm sorry, Calista. Are you okay? Calista wipes her tears, nodding her head yes. Calista speaks informatively. Calista Line 115) I'm the one who's sorry. Can't hold my tears in when it comes to these kinds of things. Marvin stares at Calista upsettingly, feeling her sorrow. Calista speaks in a deeply apologetic manner, her devastation prominent. Calista Line 116) I'm so sorry you went through this, Marvin. Marvin looks at Calista sympathetically, speaking welcomingly. Marvin Line 117) Thank you, Calista...
