FIVE years ago? He was Salamat?
Mas lalong nagsiksik si Arianna sa mahabang kurtina at nakinig sa sinasabi ni Krystanlord.

Kinilabutan siya sa mga narinig niya. Five years ago? Ano’ng meron five years ago? And Salamat? It was TJ’s surname! It was their last name!

“It’s his surname… Yes… Find out what happened five years ago.”
Hindi niya alam, pero biglang na-down na naman siya.
Biglang magkakaro’n ng pag-asa, pero bigla-bigla ring mawawala.
Kasi nag-expect ka, sumbat
