Our shadow, it changes.
It can be a monster that can devour our soul and body, or a companion that could save us from calamity.
"The ninth baby..."
Ang marka ng Centro sa maliit na pulso ng sanggol na hawak ng isang ginang ay nagpanginig sa laman ko.
The price to be our companion,
---is the death symbol for many infants.
"Xaria," umiwas ako sa tinitignan nang tawagin ni Adri ang pangalan ko. Nilagpasan namin ang umiiyak na ginang hawak-hawak ang sanggol.

Nang makumpirma ay naglaglagan ang balikat ni Mama at ate Zia na ngayon ko lang napansin na lumuluha na rin.
