My heart pains for the way Jacob looks at the nothingness with all the walkers still seem to be aware of the danger of the dark. Siguro ay alam na alam nilang hindi magandang nasa labas sila kapag nawala na ang sikat ng araw. Ganoon ang napansin ko noong nagpunta kami sa Luneta at naiwan ako. Only the scavengers are outside. If they can think about their safety, it means they are still clear on what is happening around just like the fighters, yet those ones only care about fighting off people they see.
"I'm sorry." mahinahon ko na lang na sambit.
I am so bad at this. At giving comfort to anyone because I never got that my whole life. I can listen, but I cannot expect myself to know what to say on these kinds of situations. Nagpatuloy na lang naman si Jacob sa paglalakad habang ako ay nakakarga pa rin sa balikat niya. He doesn't mind it at all. Mukha naman talagang hindi siya nabibigatan sa akin kaya naman mukhang ayos lang.
"We should find a really good place. Be ready to starve. The night is long, and we do not have enough time to stay outside."
Tumango na lang ako nang tumango at nanahimik. I let him lead us to anywhere he thinks is the safest. Halata namang hindi gagawa ng masama si Jacob, not that we are also in this fucked up city. He never intended to meet me, at the very least. Hindi kalaunan ay pumasok kami sa isang building. Tahimik na tahimik at animo ba ay abandonado na talaga. May iba pa nga akong nakikitang mga walkers na nasa kaparehong building din. Mukhang naghahanap ng masisilungan hanggang sa makalipas ang dilim. Habang naghahanap pa rin si Jacob ay nagmumuni-muni ako.
Eleven months. Then, does this mean these corpses has been wondering for that long? Eleven months...of surviving? That's too much. What the hell is the government doing to calm this situation down? Nothing. And if it is eleven months..., why did I saw and was able to eat a fruit just days ago? It should be dried or none if it was abandoned for eleven months.
Nakakalito. May mali. Sa panahon ba iyon o sa katotohanang ito ay paralel na mundo lamang? Some things do not make sense at all. Some things do not align with things I did not even think are wrong minutes ago.
"Dito na tayo..."
"Lilac."
"Lilac. Dito na tayo muna. Mukhang pwede na." he said.
Marahan niya akong tinulungang bumaba nang makita kong nasa harapan na kami ng isang unit. This is on the third floor, if I am not mistaken. Ganoon pala ako katagal na nagmumumi-muni at hindi ko namalayang nakaakyat na siya sa ikatlong palapag at karga-karga pa ako sa balikat niya. This shit city must have forced him to be strong or else he is dead by now. Bumaba naman ako. Nginitian siya sandali bago pumasok. Mabuti naman at nakasigurado agad kaming walang ibang nasa kwarto at walang aatake sa amin kagaya ng nangyari sa amin nina Amaya at Amugay. And speaking of the two, I have no idea where they are now. The swarm of corpses forced me to be separated with them. Kanina ay masyado nang madilim. Alam ko namang hindi mahina ang ulo ng dalawang iyon kaya naman agad nilang maiintindihan kung ano ang nangyayari at kung may mali nga ba. I just hope that they catch up so fast and quickly find shelter until the dark pass by.
"You're not from here." mayamaya ay sambit ni Jacob. Nakaupo na siya sa may study table ng kwarto at nagpapahinga. Binuksan din niya ang lampshade. It is just the enough dim to survive the dark and not be noticed by any of them monsters he is saying. "I can tell."
