Doctor Francia and Bastian are seated by the long wood table in the middle of the Parish Archive. The grey tinted sky outside lends very little light through the open windows.
Lolo Luis: Yan na ba ang pinaka-huling di pa natin nabubuklat?
He asks Bastian upon seeing him close the book.
Bastian: Opo.
Lolo Luis: Wala?
Bastian shakes his head.
Bastian: Wala po talaga, Lolo Luis.
Doctor Francia leans onto the back rest of his chair and sighs.
Lolo Luis: Ibig sabihin kaya nito, hindi siya rito nilibing?
He says out loud.
Bastian: Pero bakit po may libingan para sa kaniya doon sa Campo Santo gaya ng sabi niyo?
Bastian asks the elderly doctor.
Lolo Luis: Wala nga lang laman...
He shifts on his seat and rests his chin on his curled right fist.
Lolo Luis: Pero may lapida.
Doctor Francia adds.
Bastian: Ba't naman po kaya sila mag-aaksaya na saraduhan yung nicho kung wala namang laman?
He asks while getting off his seat.
Bastian takes the old book from the table and proceeds to the shelves to return it.
Lolo Luis: Hayun din ang tanong namin.
Bastian: Ang gulo naman po ng pagkaka-ayos ng records dito.
He comments as he locates the book's place on the shelves.
Bastian: Bukod sa title na nasa gilid ng libro at pagkaka-sunod-sunod ng mga taon, wala po talagang gaanong sistema.
Bastian stops at the third bookshelf to his right. He returns the record book in-between the others on the second shelf from the top.
Lolo Luis: Wala naman kasing may training sa library science ang mga nag-ayos nito.
The elderly doctor says to him as he leans forward to check his notes on the table.
Bastian: Kahit simpleng card catalogue man lang sana.
Bastian pulls out an album from the top shelf and flips it open.
Bastian: Ito po oh! Mga sulat ng pari, naka-singit lang—
Lolo Luis: Ano uli yung sabi mo, hijo?
The elderly doctor interrupts him.
Bastian: Mga sulat po yata ng mga pari ito.
He raises the album and shows it to Doctor Francia.
Lolo Luis: Bago yon, Basty?
Doctor Francia does not mind the album.
Bastian: Uh card catalogue po?
