The play delves into the sensitive topics of mental health and suicide.

Eugene shared, “Masasabi ko na parang malungkot ‘yung material pero hindi namin siyang gagawing malungkot. Gagawin namin siyang totoo na nangyayari dahil nangyayari na siya ngayon, na hindi natin napag-uusapan dahil ito ay tungkol sa pagsuko, tungkol sa kung gusto mo pa mabuhay, tungkol sa ibig sabihin ng pagpapatuloy na hindi natin napag-uusapan o hindi napag-uusapan sa pamilya.”
