Cast & Character Descriptions – Paasa
🖤 Girl 1 (The Protagonist) – Ang Totoong Nagmahal
• Personality: Maalalahanin, mapagmahal, at buhos kung magmahal. Siya yung tipo ng tao na pinapahalagahan ang maliliit na bagay—yung simpleng ice cream date, late-night tawagan, at love notes sa ref. Masaya siyang kasama, mahilig mang-asar, pero marunong din magseryoso pagdating sa relasyon.
• Fatal Flaw: Walang pagdududa. Buong-buo siyang nagtiwala, buong-buo siyang naniwala.
• Pain Level: 💔💔💔💔💔 (Sagad sa buto, walang laban, tahimik na pagkawasak.)
⸻
💔 Girl 2 (The Betrayer) – The One Living a Double Life
• Personality: Charming, carefree, and magnetic. She has an easygoing energy that makes people gravitate toward her. She loves attention, loves feeling loved, but avoids conflict at all costs. She’s the type to compartmentalize emotions—never truly choosing, always floating between worlds.
• Fatal Flaw: She never had the courage to be honest.
• Pain Level: 🤷♀️ (She’s sad, but not destroyed. She gets to walk away with her life intact.)
⸻
💀 Boyfriend (The “Real” Partner) – The Unknowing Rival
• Personality: Mabait, responsable, at sobrang in love kay Girl 2. Siya yung tipong hindi nakakalimot sa monthsary, nagbibigay ng surprises, at genuinely nakikita ang future kasama si Girl 2.
• Fatal Flaw: Walang kasalanan. Wala siyang alam. Isa lang siyang lalaking nagmamahal, iniisip na siya lang ang mahal.
• Pain Level: 🫤 (He has no clue what’s happening.)
⸻
🎤 Junno (The Soundtrack to the Heartbreak)
• Personality: Hindi talaga siya part ng kwento—pero siya ang dahilan kung bakit sumakto ang sakit. Ang kanta niya ang soundtrack ng pagkawasak ni Girl 1. Hindi niya alam, pero siya yung nagpapalala ng lahat ng nararamdaman ni Girl 1.
• Role in the Pain: (Parang sinadya ng universe na marinig ni Girl 1 ang kantang yun, sa mismong moment na nasaktan siya.)
• Pain Level: 🎶💔 (Unintentionally causing the worst night of Girl 1’s life.)
⸻
🥃 The Friend – The Innocent Messenger of Doom
• Personality: Palakaibigan, kwela, at walang kaalam-alam. Sadyang napadaan lang, pero siya ang nagbitaw ng linya na nag-trigger sa lahat.
• Linya ng Trahedya: “Uy, nasan si Girl 2?”
• Fatal Flaw: Wala. Hindi niya alam na siya ang nagbukas ng pintuan ng impyerno para kay Girl 1.
• Pain Level: 😬 (Awkward lang. Uminom lang naman siya ng alak, tapos biglang may nasaktan.)

• Dahil matagal na pala itong durog.

The Quiet, Soul-Crushing Exit

Why This Works
• The text at the beginning sets up the betrayal perfectly. The audience won’t think much of it at first—until it clicks later.
• The gig artist performing live adds emotional weight. The song is literally playing through her heartbreak.
• The anniversary gift and letter hit like a wrecking ball.
• The silent exit is more powerful than any confrontation. The weight of realization alone is enough to shatter her.
