Parehas kami ni Ash na hindi maintindihan ang nangyayari. Gulat na gulat si Seven sa pagpapakita ng babaeng 'to. Wait, sino ba kasi 'to? Hindi ko maalala kung may nabanggit ba sa 'kin tungkol sa kan'ya.

Nagpakita lalo ng magandang ngiti ang babae kay Seven, “Kumusta?”

“Paano... bakit buhay ka?”

Tumawa ang babae, “Asking like you’re the one who killed me, huh?”

“Light told us you commited suicide! So that’s not true at all? Then why did you disappear!?” hindi na napigilan ni Seven ang sumigaw.

“Tone down your voice, you’re talking to the savior,” walang emosyong paalala naman ni Light.

Pero hindi siya pinansin ni Seven.

“A-And where’s Ezekiel? He’s living here, right?! What did you two do to him?!”

Umikot ang mata ng babae na parang naririndi na agad siya sa mga tanong ni Seven. Mukha siyang dyosa, pero mas mukha siyang maldita.

Doon ko lang naalala kung saan ko narinig ang pangalan niya...

“Still, we might find some clues on Silvanna’s death! Light’s being suspecious, I knew it from the start. Maybe this is the chance I could help you to find his secret about my cousin. Or anything I could help you! Like we did on Alexandria’s investigation.”

“Grabe! I hated Light eversince Silvanna died. So I really sincerely understand how you feel when he betrayed you. But you, leaving the CVA, doesn’t mean that you’re never going to talk to us, right? Tell me!”

“There’s no way Silvanna was invloved in that organization. It’s only Light! Everything is Light’s fault!”

I don't know if that was all I remembered but... mostly it was all from Gavin.

So this is the real founder of the group?

“Silvanna, why?! Why is everything like this?! Answer me!” gigil na humawak si Seven sa rehas, desperadong makakuha ng sagot.

Agad siyang sinabihan ni Ash, “Oy, Seven! Stay still!”

Pero lumakad lang paalis 'yung babae habang may sinasabi, “Talking to you is so exausting. Actually,” saka siya huminto at tumingin sa 'min, “First of all, I do not intend to talk to you, Elijah. You were invited here for some cleansing. You went through a lot, and since Kiel didn’t not succeed to the first attempt to take all CVA members here, I’m so glad you trespassed to our utopia. Kiel was so furious, but I’m happy with it,” mahinhin pa siyang natawa.

Ako naman ang nagsalubong ng kilay. Anong pinagsasabi nito? Ibig bang sabihin hindi totoo 'yung sinabi ni Light?!

“Take care of them, Light,” utos niya bago umalis.

“Silvanna! We need to talk! I have rights to know what the heck happened! Silvanna!”

Nilapitan na siya ni Ash para pigilan, “Dude, can you not? Pag bumuka na naman ‘yang sugat mo mamomorblema pa tayo. Come on, man!”

“But Ash---”

“Aaahhh... I’m so confuse, okay? Why is the CVA so freaking complicated!”

Humakbang ng isa palapit sa 'min si Light kaya naman napatingin din ang dalawa sa kan'ya. Kaagad na namang hinawakan ni Seven ang rehas para sugurin ito.

“You’re not just a traitor, you’re also a liar! Anong ginawa n‘yo kay Ezekiel at nasaan na siya?! Bakit ka nagsinungaling na patay na si Silvanna?! Anong ginagawa n‘yo rito?! Anong motibo n‘yo?!” bulyaw ni Seven sa kan'ya, ngunit nanatiling kalmado at walang reaksyon ang isa.
