Protecting the King is over
It's now time to protect herself
From past, from pain, and from the truth
Will she able to handle it?
Will she run away again?
Or will she give up?

"Can I ask where are Illiana and her mom?"
"Illiana is still missing while her mom is... murdered"
"By whom?" I asked again pero hindi na niya ako sinagot kaya iniba ko nalang ang tanong, "Can you tell me why she ended up here?"
"Bakit mo gustong malaman?"
"I want to"
"You can't" agad na sagot niya kahit hindi pa ako tapos magsalita. What's wrong with her?
"I want to help her. Why are you stopping me?" Pero hindi na siya muling nagsalita. Tinapos niya lang ang ginagawa niya at umalis na ng kwarto.
Tumayo ako mula sa pagkakahiga at nagtungo sa cr. Ilang segundo kong tinignan ang aking sarili sa salamin tiyaka ko siya tinawag, "Jacq"
Kung ayaw sabihin saakin ni Valerie, si Jacq nalang ang tatanungin ko. Nag-iba ang itsura ng reflection ko.
She's my real opposite. She looks so tired and weak.
"I know what you want to know but no, I'm scared that I might lose her too"

While looking at her, I feel so guilty about how bad I behave towards her these past few months.
Tama nga si Valerie, I should have not compared myself to her because she's been through a lot harder than I do. At kung tutusin, mas matapang pa siya kaysa saakin.
"Help me" agad na nag-iba ang expresyon ng mukha niya, bigla akong nanginig at nakaramdam ng takot.
"H-how?"
"No, I cannot trust anyone. They will all just hurt me. All of them!" Pag-iiba agad nito ng isip pero sa isang segundo lang ay nagbago ulit ito.
"Help me. Take all my memories. I want to forget everything. I don't want to remember how they all hurt and betrayed me!" pagmamakaawa nito.
"Who? Who are they?"
"No, you can't help me, you're just my imagination"

Hindi ko na muling naramdaman si Jacq after that night. I guess, she's sleeping again
"Are you ready? Oren is calling you" I nooded
Oren is back which means I'm also back to my normal routine. Wake up - eat - experiment - eat - sleep. Ganyan ko lang palipasin ang buong araw ko.
