"We are all sinners."
There was a prediction that the end of the world will be coming soon but nobody knows when and how will it end. Christians believe that the second coming of Jesus will end everything and they called it 'Rapture'.

Chapter 23. "Insanity"
"I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. There will be two women grinding together. One will be taken and the other left." And they said to him, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the corpse is, there the vultures will gather."
-Luke 17: 34-37

I ran away from him. I cut the ties between us. And I don't know if that was the right thing to do now. I just can't be with him, with them anymore. After all, that happened, I know it was me, it was me who was at fault for all of this. And why did he hide that information from me?
"You're the general's son?" I asked in shock and with disappointment. I looked at Julian and Tom, Julian just looked away from me and Tom just shrugged, tapped Julian's back and left us.
Naiwan kaming dalawa ni Chaste na magkatitigan. Tahimik at naghihintay kung sino sa aming dalawa ang magsasalita.
"Aren't you gonna say something?" I asked pissed.
"This is not a big deal, Krisa." He answered casually which made me shocked and angry. Hindi ako makapaniwala habang napapasinghap dahil sa sinabi niya. He is damn stupid!
"What?" I exclaimed. "Two of your friends just died! And the other two left, Chaste! And now you are saying that this is not a big deal?" I shouted at him because I was so frustrated right now.
Natahimik siya sa mga sinabi ko habang ako naman ay hinihingal dahil sa mga sinabi ko.
"Hindi mo naiintindihan." Aniya. I smiled at him sarcastically while shaking my head.
"Oo, hindi nga kita naiintindihan. I am blaming myself now for what happened to us, to our group. And yet, here you are, you have your last resort for us to be saved, and yet you've waited to be this horrible before calling someone who can actually and possibly help us from the very beginning!"
He bowed his head and remained silent again. Tinitingnan ko siya, sinusubukang basahin kung ano ang nasa isip niya. At sinusubukang intindihin sa isip ko kung bakit ngayon niya lang ito sinabi. Pero mas nabubuo at nauuna ang inis at panghihinayang ko. This is a big deal, I know because we are talking about a life here, a life that we could have been saved if he just did this before these damn horrible things happened. Pakiramdam ko sasabog na ang dibdib ko sa galit, and that is why I felt tears in my cheeks thinking of those deaths in front of me. After a while, he raised his head and looked at me. Isang blankong tingin ang binaling niya sa akin.
