**The Blue Eyes** Lena liked the café for its quiet predictability—familiar faces, muted conversations, and the hum of rain on the windows. It was her refuge, a place where no one expected anything of her. That’s when she noticed him. He sat by the window, ordinary in every way except for his eyes—blue, startlingly vivid, like they saw through her. When he glanced her way, Lena quickly looked down, her heart unexpectedly quickening. Moments later, she heard his voice. “Is this seat taken?” Startled, she stammered, “No, go ahead.” He sat across from her, casual but assured. “I’m Michael,” he said, his gaze steady. “Lena.” Their conversation began awkwardly but quickly fell into an easy rhythm. They talked about books, the rain, nothing extraordinary—yet everything about it felt significant. His presence was magnetic, his words strangely familiar, as though they were picking up a thread they’d left unfinished. --- Michael started appearing more often, each visit deepening their bond. He knew little details about her—how she always ordered her coffee black, how she twisted her ring when nervous. “You notice a lot,” Lena said one day, half-joking. He smiled, almost apologetic. “I don’t mean to. It’s just... you feel familiar. Like I’ve known you before.” Lena’s chest tightened. She felt it too—that inexplicable pull, as if their lives had crossed in ways neither could explain. But she didn’t ask what he meant. Some feelings were too fragile to question. --- Then one day, he disappeared. Lena waited, watching the door every afternoon, her heart sinking when he didn’t come. She texted him, but there was no reply. Days turned into weeks. She went to the café out of habit, but the empty chair across from her was impossible to ignore. He was gone. Sitting by the window one rainy evening, she let the memory settle in her chest like a bittersweet ache.

**The Lost Firefly** One warm evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon and the sky turned pink, Mimi the cat, Lulu the frog, and Didi the duck relaxed by their favorite pond. They loved this time of day, perfect for catching fireflies. “Let’s see who catches the most!” Didi quacked excitedly. The friends raced around, laughing as they tried to catch the glowing fireflies in the tall grass. But as the night deepened, Mimi noticed a firefly glowing brighter than the others, hovering alone near an old oak tree. “It looks lost,” Lulu said, her eyes wide. “We have to help it!” Didi declared. Determined, the friends followed the little firefly through the forest. It led them over meadows, past creeks, and into the tall trees. The journey was challenging, but they pressed on, eager to reunite the firefly with its family. Finally, they reached a glowing bush filled with other fireflies. The lost firefly zipped into the group, its glow brightening as it reunited with its family. “We did it!” Lulu cheered. The friends sat under the twinkling lights, realizing the best part of their night wasn’t catching fireflies but helping the little one find its way home. From then on, they promised to always help those in need, knowing even small acts of kindness could light up the world.

In this heartwarming and introspective story, Celine holds a mysterious mirror that has always given her answers to life’s questions—big or small, personal or profound. Every time she asks about her dreams or her path, the mirror provides clear guidance, and she’s come to trust it fully. But when she dares to ask, “Salamin, ano ba talaga ang kasarian ko?” the mirror shows her something different: memories instead of a direct answer. Through these visions, Celine revisits her childhood, teenage years, and young adulthood. As a child, she sees herself happily embracing her feminine identity. As a teen, she starts to realize her attraction to other girls, causing her to question the labels others place on her. By early adulthood, Celine is asking her friends to use they/them pronouns, feeling that neither “girl” nor “boy” completely fits. The mirror finally returns to the present, showing only her reflection—silent, with no clear answer. In this reflective journey, Celine learns that gender is not a fixed concept; rather, it’s fluid and ever-evolving. The mirror doesn’t provide a single answer because gender itself is a journey that changes and grows. Ultimately, Celine understands that she is free to define her own identity, unrestricted by rigid labels. "Salamin, Salamin. Kailan Ako Magiging si Celine" is a tale about embracing one’s evolving identity, learning that true self-acceptance means being open to change, and realizing that gender is a personal journey, as unique and dynamic as the person living it.
