You may be the most cowardly person in the world until you experienced love and have something to protect more than yourself. That is real courage.

[LOUELLA]
I did my best to talk to Lysander last night but to no avail. He's not answering his phone, he's not even responding to my messages. I don't want to upset him more kaya hindi ko muna kaagad sinabi sa kanya 'yung tungkol sa nalaman ko.
That Raven . . . Raven's probably . . .
Kahapon, nakatanggap din ako kaagad ng instruction mula kay Professor Silang na maghanda kaagad sa livestream kinabukasan. Yes, they want to do it immediately. Siguro dahil papalapit na ang pagpasok ng bagong sem, they want to sensationalize the event habang maraming oras ang mga millennials at generation z na paniguradong mangunguna sa pambabatikos.
So, I prepared half-heartedly. I wrote the script and flow of the interview, na noong una'y hindi ko alam kung paano ko sisimulan. Sobrang nahirapan ako magsulat dahil pakiramdam ko'y ako mismo ang magiging sanhi ng gagawin ni Lysander—well, sa totoo lang ako naman talaga ang pinagmulan nito.
I drank too much coffee to stay awake. Nasobrahan nga dahil magdamag akong gising at nag-ooverthink sa napakaraming bagay.
Hindi matanggal-tanggal sa isip ko 'yung larawang nakita ko sa profile ni Arianne. Paulit-ulit ko ring inalala 'yung mga sandaling kasama namin si Raven sa Mt. Itum. She did the ritual of courage successfully, she even received a miracle—it means, she was truthful. Pero marami pa pala akong hindi alam sa kanya kung tutuusin.
I also remembered the time when we reconciled. The memory's still vivid in my mind, and I believe it was genuine. That's why I couldn't accept the possibility that she might be . . .
If Raven's involved in the insurgent organization, then . . . She's also partially responsible for Ellon's death.
And then a painful realization struck me.
Did Raven betray us?
Thank goodness, it's a miracle that I managed to finish the script. There are barely words in it, at least nakalagay na 'yung flow at 'yung question prompts.
At dahil hindi na ako makatulog ay nilabas ko na rin 'yung mga equipment at saka nag-ayos para sa magiging setup namin sa interview.
I arranged my living room into a tiny studio. Tinabi ko muna 'yung malaking sofa at pinagtabi 'yung dalawang solo sofa. May nabili akong backdrop na plain white na nilagay ko sa likuran ng mga sofa, inayos ko rin 'yung mga ilaw, camera, laptop, at setting for the live stream.
It's a simple and small setup but I think it looked professional. I kinda overdid it. Binunton ko lahat sa pag-aayos para hindi ako malunod ng mga iniisip ko.
