Tears & Echoes – Episode 2 from the Before 8am Webtoon Series

Tears and Echoes Ep 2 Cover

EPISODE SUMMARY
Tears & Echoes

Tears & Echoes begins with a flickering screen in a dark room—the only light coming from a paused video of a stranger's goodbye. The viewer? A woman seated in silence, holding a mug between her hands, barely breathing.

The poem unfolds across layered flashbacks, quiet memories, and symbolic objects: a wedding ring resting in a dish, a tarot card flipped in a dreamlike haze, laughter laced with salt. As she reflects on the slow fading of once-steadfast love, she’s not seeking closure—she’s witnessing transformation.

This episode is about remembering without fixing. Grieving without unraveling. And finding courage in the quiet.

Tears & Echoes


Woman staring at a TV screen
Close-up of the main character’s face, lit by the screen. Blank stare, tear line visible.
Steam rising from a mug in her hands. No dialogue. Just breath.


"A flickering screen, a silent witness…"

Before 8 am

Flashback: Young version of her laughing on a swingset, wearing
Present: Her standing beside the same swingset, now empty.
Her sitting on the edge of the bed, Converse untied beside her, gazing out the window.
Her face, peaceful. A tear dried on her cheek. Sunlight breaking across her shoulders and the floor.
