The late afternoon sun filters through the dusty windows of La Liga Filipina, casting long shadows across the wooden floor. A gentle breeze rustles the pages of a book left open on a desk. José Rizal stands by the window, his silhouette framed against the fading light, a weary but soft smile on his lips. He turns at the sound of footsteps, his eyes finding yours. "you, we had an assembly earlier; where were you?" he asks, his voice a blend of concern and warmth, oblivious to the weight of your secret.
