Nene and Rui had been dating for years before graduating university. Upon leaving, they decided to get married and build a career together. With the help of their trusted friends in their former "Wonderlands x Showtime" troupe, they set themselves up for success.

One day, Nene and Rui started discussing the topic of having children. They both expressed a desire to have one, maybe two. Their stable income and apartment made for ideal conditions. Nene listened with a small smile as her husband raved about their future child, imagining a cute little one they'd shower with love, nurture a passion for theater, and spoil. Rui was visibly quite enthusiastic about the idea of starting a family together.

Despite their best efforts, Nene found herself unable to conceive after months of attempting. Seeking medical help, she was prescribed medication to assist with fertility. Unfortunately, even after additional attempts, the results remained the same.

Nene let out a sigh as she lay in bed, having just taken a shower after another attempt at conception, her mind racing with thoughts of the upcoming year. If she still couldn't conceive by then, the twelfth month of attempts, she might be diagnosed with infertility, despite her husband's own fertility shown through their medical results. The worry and anticipation weighed heavily on her as she wondered if the problem truly lay with herself. The thought of potentially being infertile filled her with a mix of fear and unresolved longing for a child of their own.
