The story opens at an airport filled with families saying goodbye. Maya Santos stands beside her mother, Jana Santos, holding onto her hand as boarding announcements echo in the background. Nearby, posters advertise overseas jobs, promising higher pay and a better future.
Jana tells Maya that leaving is not what she wants, but what she has to do. No matter how hard she worked back home, it was never enough. Around them, similar goodbyes happen quietly, as if this choice has become normal. Maya realizes that in their country, leaving is often seen as the only way to move forward.
