Binuksan niya ang flashlight na hawak niya kaya nakita ko ang mala-anghel niyang mukha. Anghel na nahulog mula sa langit.   "I didn't."    "You did. Miss Crimson said. That's why they knew about the zombie antibodies. That's why our lives is at stake. That's why you had your free house from Miss Crimson. Para sa inyo ni Kira. Hindi ba? Sinira mo nang paulit-ulit..." Napahinto ako sa labis na sakit na nararamdaman ko dahil lang sa mga sinasabi ko. Wala na akong pakialam kung marinig ng squadmates ko ang bawat lihim na itinago ko mula sa kanila. They deserved to know more than Pisces. Kung alam ko lang. "ang tiwala ko... You broke my trust for you to be with Kira? For your engagement with her? For what? For money? It just hurts...  Hurts so goddamn much."   "They tol

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. Hindi ko 'yon napag-isipan. Ang iniisip ko lang ay maisaksak sa kanya ang antidote. Tila walang epekto ang antidote kay ate at bumalik din ang atensyon niya sa kinakain. "Why not die after?" I heard a voice from behind. Dahan-dahan akong lumingon at nakita ko si Kira na nakangisi sa amin.  Sa gilid niya ay dose-dosenang mga tauhan na naka full gear armor at mga baril na hawak nila. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko... Paano nila nalaman na nandito kami? "Maybe you're wondering, 'hoe, em, ji! How did she know that we're here?' Well, darling... You are just too predictable. I know you would save your sister. And now, you're maybe wondering

Celine is the jolly type of a girl. Just like me, she's easily driven by her emotions. She's always curious about something. Go with the flow, charming, pink, wonderland, dream, unicorns. I never saw her like this, ready to sacrifice her life just for my sake.  "Goddamn it, Celine. Just cut off my arm and save yourself. I fully understand." Umiling-iling siya habang patuloy na lumuluha. "Hindi ko kayang saktan ka, Collier..." "Oh, my! Am I watching some soap opera here? Do it now, Celine! Don't you want to save yourself?" Kira looked bored, para bang natatagalan na sa aming dalawa. "I'm sorry,

They left me. They left me and I fully understand. I don't want to cause more pain but I know my goals. If it would cause the death of mine, I clearly understand. I will accept it wholeheartedly.  "I don't think I could forgive you, Collier." Cedrick then held the body of his deceased fiancé. Crimson blood dripped on the floor. "Do you still want to continue your insanely impossible plan?" A tear escaped my eye. It dropped right at my best friend's pool of blood. I gently nodded. "Great. Mabuti para sa akin. Para hindi ko na makita ang taong naging dahilan ng pagkamatay ng pinakamamahal ko." This man in front of me despise me, one of the best man I've ever met. Kung ano man ang nararamdaman niya ay naiintindihan ko dahil kahit ako ay kinamumuhian ko ang sarili ko

Tumaas ang kilay ko dahil sa narinig. "Are you serious?" Tiim-bagang ko siyang tiningnan. Ang mga kasama namin ay nanatiling tahimik, nananatili lang ang tingin sa amin. They treated us like their masters. Just like us, they want to end the dystopia. They want to stop this system. Just like us, they want to be free. "I am. That's why we need to lie low for a little bit. We'll try to search for the spy and punish that person accordingly." "And what if we're caught earlier than expected?" "Then we'll fight." "So what do you want to do? Lie low or find more recruits?"
