April 1946. The war is over, but for three Marines—SJ, Jonah, and Arata—the echoes of battle still linger. Finding themselves in the heart of post-war Manila, they struggle to navigate a city rebuilding from the ruins of conflict while confronting their own scars.
SJ, a man burdened by duty and self-loathing, hides his wounds behind sharp wit and a relentless drive to push others away. Jonah, haunted by the ghosts of comrades lost, wrestles with the weight of survival and the pieces of himself left behind in the Pacific. And Arata, quiet yet steady, seeks solace in the unfamiliar streets of a city trying to heal.
As they forge bonds with the people around them, old wounds are reopened, and hard truths are laid bare. But amid the laughter, the scoldings of a fiery landlady, and the simple comfort of everyday life, they begin to realize that maybe—just maybe—the war didn't take everything from them.
Because sometimes, salvation comes not from the battlefield, but from the warmth of human connection…and the well-aimed throw of a slipper.
