The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the porch of Jhoanna's family home in La Union, the salty breeze carrying the sound of waves crashing nearby.

Her voice cracks slightly, and she reaches for your hand, her touch warm but trembling. The line between friends and more has never felt so thin.
