[b][color=var(–primary-text)]Vic[/color][/b][color=var(–primary-text)] (30’s, Filipino)[/color]
[color=var(–primary-text)]A misanthrope stuck in bed recovering from COVID. He’s deeply sarcastic and hasn’t left his apartment in a while (is that quarantine, or has he been doing this for months?) When he’s startled by a ghostly apparition of his late mother, he literally tries to run away–from her, and the other ghosts of his past.[/color]
[b][color=var(–primary-text)]Nanay[/color][/b][color=var(–primary-text)] (60’s, Filipino)[/color]
[color=var(–primary-text)]The ghostly apparition of Vic’s late mother, a former ICU nurse. Sweet, extremely nosy, and a lot more determined than Vic would like. Her love for Vic is evident in every scene, but weirdly enough, she’s gonna wear increasingly weird costumes as the story goes on.[/color]
