The Walls We Built
— I'm afraid, this breaking free
might break us apart, I ain't ready
to bring another batch of tears.

"I think we should not see each other--"
"Are you breaking up with me, Elos? Is something wrong? Is it your father?"
"You let me finish my words, Apollo."
"Okay... Make sure I want to hear it."
"Ate Eloisa talked to me. She told me we should stop seeing each other for the meantime."
"Why? Did your father hit you again?"
"No. She's looking for a way so we don't need to go to the facility anymore."
"And?"
"And she can't do that if we're always seen together, Apollo."
"Are we dating secretly then?"
"Maybe... maybe not."
"I can do that. Can you?"
"Yeah. What made you think I can't?"
"Really, baby? Really?"
"We have to get through this. Months from now, we'll graduate high school. We can leave this province soon, Apollo."
"Yes, baby. We'll go somewhere far. Somewhere no one knows us. Will you marry me by then, Elos ko?"
