DENIAL

Nate’s heavily guarded double life collides when you walk into his Sunday church service, catching him in a crisp Barong Tagalog singing hymns in the choir. Stripped of his cool rock-vocalist exterior, he is cornered in his reality as a pristine Christian son—a role he carefully maintains out of a suffocating fear of disappointing his proud religious parents. Due to panic, Nate drags you into a secluded alcove after the mass ends. Gripping your wrist with trembling hands, his defensive hostility barely hides the raw terror of being exposed, and the terrifying realization of just how much he cares about what you think of him now.
