Daraguin is an inhabited island before two explorers found it by searching in a vast ocean with their handmade boat. When they landed, the first thing they do is build their own house. They gathered twigs and logs; they made progress by tying them. However, when they came back from another scavenge, someone is already there inspecting what they have done. The mysterious man has odd clothes, describing it as alive that have its own movement. Despite the terrifying appearance, the man helped them build the house and stayed with them through the night.

I will never forget those days. The days when you are always with me; in sleeping, in eating, and in drawing our dreams in life. "Brother, you did great!" You applaud me for dancing. "Aysus! You're just pleasing me so I can give you five pesos." You laughed softly because I exposed you effortlessly. "Pretty please," you begged me while sparkling your eyes.
