Snicker & Tears

PEARL OF THE ORIENT #1 Aside from being cherophobic and Schadenfreude person, Sierra Ponce is suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) for a…long time now. Thus, she has become scared of feeling sheer bliss for she thinks that every time she is happy, there's always a danger in exchange and now she has lost her passion to everything she has loved. She's started bullying those people who feel joy and gay. Like a bomb that had exploded her melancholic world, she encountered a guy who seems to be always on cloud nine, full of the joys of spring, Spencer Stanislaus, a boy with Pseudobulbar Affect, a type of emotional disturbance in which he cannot stop his self from laughing.
