It's another one of Malco's repetitive and boring days .
.
When he wakes up, he drinks coffee, takes care of his chores, goes to work, endures the rudeness of his superior, goes straight home before dark, rests before dinner and drinks a bottle of beer before bed .
.
It was past 8 pm and Malco was sitting in front of their house, reading what he saw on social media on his cellphone and slowly finishing the beer he bought at a nearby store .
.
Malco sighed then looked up at the sky and saw that it's full moon again .
.
He remembered the past when he and his late best friend, who was also his girlfriend, would always stare at the full moon while lying down and talking on the roof of the house .
.
There was even a time when they fell asleep there and the next day both had colds .
.
"I miss you so much, but I know you'd be angry if I intentionally died so I could follow you there right away," Malco said while looking up at the moon .
.
Malco put his cellphone in his pocket and told the full moon what had happened to him in the past few weeks as if it were his late girlfriend .
.
Malco bought another bottle of beer, which he rarely do, and continued his conversation with the moon .
.
Passers-by on their street are rare, and if there are any, they are only his neighbors who are used to seeing him talking to the moon because they know what he has been through .
.
Except for those who were new to their area, everyone knew that Malco was a cheerful person from childhood until he entered high school and met his best friend and soon became his girlfriend .
.
Everything changed when his girlfriend died a few months before they graduated .
.
The cheerful Malco was gone, he even refused his other friends no matter what they asked him to do to have fun .
.
No one ever saw Malco laugh again, not even smile, except when he had the chance to talk to the full moon .
.
It was almost 10pm when he finished talking to the moon and he had only finished half of his second bottle of beer .
.
Malco didn't finish his beer and went into their house to rest in his room upstairs .
.
While lying down, Malco felt something strange inside him that he couldn't understand, it doesn't feel good or bad, it just feels really strange .
.
He just let it go because he thought it was just because of alcohol and he was tired and stressed from work .
.
Gradually, he began to feel more and more strange, but he still fell asleep .
