Learning task 3
- Luna, about to turn eighteen, lives in Vigan, Ilocos. She has spent her whole life indoors, due to a diagnosis of
Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID). Any contact with the outside world puts her at risk of a fatal infection or
allergic reaction. The house is elaborately sealed, with an airlock at the front door. Luna is cared for by her mother,
who is a doctor, and by a full-time nurse, Josie. When Luna was just a few months old, her father and brother were
killed in an accident.

A new family moves in next door. The father drinks and is violent. Luna and the boy in the family, Kalix, become
friends over the Internet. They also pantomime conversations through their bedroom windows. Eventually, Josie
agrees to let Kalix come over for in-person visits. Josie monitors the visits and does not tell Luna’s mother about
them. Soon, Luna and Kalix’s relationship takes a romantic turn.

After Luna impulsively rushes out of the house to intervene in a fight between Kalix and his father, her mother finds
out about the visits. She fires Josie. Kalix starts school. Luna stays in touch with him and tries to repair her damaged
relationship with her mother. Her mother gives her a framed photo of their family, taken in Hawaii shortly before her
father and brother died. One day, Luna decides to risk her life in order to live fully. She books a short trip for her and
Kalix, to Boracay.

After Kalix gets over his misgivings, he and Luna fly to Boracay. They spend a wonderful, intimate day together, but in
the middle of the night, Luna wakes up with aches and fever chills. Kalix calls an ambulance to take her to the
hospital. Meanwhile, Luna’s mother has learned where they were and has boarded a flight to Boracay. When she
arrives, she puts Luna on a plane back home.

Luna and her mother try to resume life as before. Luna misses Kalix but believes she must shut her heart to the
possibility of love. She deletes all of Kalix’s emails, unread. Her mother, seeing how sad Luna is, rehires Josie. Kalix
and his mother and sister move out of their house, leaving his father behind, alone.

Luna receives an email from the doctor who treated her in Boracay. The doctor questions whether Luna has SCID
and urges her to consult a doctor other than her mother. Confronted, Luna’s mother insists that Luna really is sick.
Searching her mother’s office at night, however, Luna finds no record of a SCID diagnosis, nor any records of the
years of treatment. A specialist contacted by Josie confirms: Luna does not have SCID. The shock and grief Luna’s
mother felt over losing her husband and son expressed itself as a pathological need to protect Luna from all
possibility of harm.

Luna is angry at her mother and wants to leave home, but Josie counsels her to be more compassionate. Luna books
a flight to Boracay. During the flight, she begins to forgive her mother. In Boracay, she and Kalix happily reunite.

Everything, Everything

Luna Athena Vera is an 18-year-old with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID). She is violently allergic to countless
substances, so she lives in a sealed-off and sterilized home with her mother. Her only other company is her nurse, Josie.

Her quiet life changes when a new family moves in next door. The Camerino family has two teenage children, and their mother
sends them over to the Vera’s house with a cake as a present. Luna’s mother does not accept the cake or allow the teens to
enter her home because they might contaminate her daughter.

However, Kalix Camerino, one of the teens, is determined to meet Luna. He writes his email address on the glass of his bedroom
window, and he and Luna quickly become friends by exchanging emails and instant messages. Luna begs Josie to allow Kalix to
visit her, and eventually Josie agrees. After just one visit, Luna starts to feel like she’s falling in love with Kalix. She agonizes over
whether to continue their friendship since it might lead to a broken heart, but ultimately decides to keep meeting Kalix.

During one in-person visit, Luna reveals to Kalix that her father and older brother were killed in a car accident when she was a
baby. The settlement money from the accident allowed her mother to pay for their specially sealed home and its industrial
quality air filtration system. Kalix also begins to discuss his family’s difficult situation, specifically his father’s alcoholism and
domestic violence problem.
Josie is concerned that Luna is neglecting her relationship with her mother in order to spend all her spare time emailing Kalix. It
grows harder for Luna to keep her romantic life a secret from her mother.

One day, the secret is revealed when Luna looks out her window and sees Kalix being punched by his drunken father. For the
first time in 17 years, Luna leaves her home, rushing outdoors to help the boy she loves. She screams at Mr. Camerino to stop,
which surprises him so much that he stops beating Kalix. Luna is then dragged back indoors by her mother.

Luna’s mom grounds her after she discovers Kalix and Luna’s secret relationship. She also fires Josie for jeopardizing Luna’s
health by allowing another person into the house. After several weeks of being grounded from the internet, except for her
school studies, Luna realizes that her old routine of solitary study and hangouts with her mother is no longer satisfying. She
wants to live for a few days in the outside world, even if it means she will die quickly.

Luna sneaks out of her house and convinces Kalix to run away with her to Boracay. She lies and tells him that she has
experimental pills that will allow her to manage her SCID symptoms. After landing in Boracay, Luna and Kalix check into a hotel
and visit the beach. She is able to shop for souvenirs, eat tropical foods, go snorkeling and even go cliff diving with no ill effects.
Kalix and Luna confess their love to each other and sleep together.

Luna wakes up in the middle of the night in severe pain. She is rushed to the hospital, where her heart stops and she has to be
resuscitated. Her mother arrives in Boracay and takes her home.

Once again Luna is grounded as she recovers from her near-death experience. When she regains internet privileges, she tells
Kalix that she can’t talk with him anymore because it’s too painful to be reminded of the life she can’t have. One day, Luna sees
a moving van next door and realizes that Kalix and his mom and sister are finally moving away from the abusive Mr. Camerino.

Weeks later, Luna receives an email from the emergency room doctor who treated her during her hospitalization in Boracay. The
doctor says that Luna’s violent allergic reaction was the result of a viral infection and her medical tests show no evidence of SCID
whatsoever. Luna confronts her mother with this new piece of information, but her mother insists that she does have SCID.

Luna secretly looks through her mother’s old files and records. She discovers that when she was 6 months old, just after her
father and brother had died in a car accident, her mother became obsessed with keeping her safe. Luna had been constantly ill
as an infant, so her mother decided that Luna had SCID without receiving any formal diagnosis. Luna is horrified to realize that
she does not have a disease and that she has been kept locked away for her entire life because of her mother’s paranoia.

With Josie’s help, Luna finds a new doctor who urges her to enter the outside world carefully and gradually. Although Luna
doesn’t have SCID, she does have a compromised immune system due to living in a sterile environment.

In the following weeks, Luna grows more independent. She books a flight to Boracay to go see Kalix, this time with her mother’s
knowledge. She texts him that she’s leaving him a present at a local bookshop. She hides in another aisle in order to surprise
him, then they joyfully reunite and restart their romance.
