-We're having a baby now. -Yeah. So, how are you feeling? I don't know how I'm feeling. I just can't believe you're pregnant. But I'm also just really, really nervous and anxious. After Brandon learned Mary was pregnant, he couldn't feel happy at all. It wasn't because he didn't love Mary. It was because, in his current situation, he simply couldn't afford to raise a child. Even though he had said before that he wanted kids, that was mostly just him going along with Mary's wishes. He came to the Philippines from the US. He had no local status and couldn't find a job. The money he had saved had already been spent down by Mary. Brandon's finances had completely collapsed. Under immense pressure, all he could do was escape. Every day he wasn't scrolling his phone, or just lying in bed staring blankly. Even more suffocating was this life of depending on someone else. The two of them were living at Mary's grandfather's house. Locals there were Catholic. Pregnancy before marriage was seen as a family disgrace. The elder's blame, the neighbor's gossip. All of that pressure was almost entirely on Brandon. And between him and Mary, too many problems had already piled up. When he heard from one of Mary's friends, that Mary often, while he was asleep, quietly unplugged the wee fine. And then went out to hang with male friends Brandon's trust in her, was slowly worn away. After the pregnancy, their fights became more and more frequent. Mary felt he did nothing all day. She wanted him to help her run the convenience store. But Brandon pushed to the brink by the pressure. No longer had the courage to face the life in front of him. Mary's pregnancy might have been a surprise to her, but to Brandon, it was more like the final straw that broke him.
