In the small town of Casus-- where I live, we have a belief.
That everyone was given a second chance. . . no matter what they've done or who they are.
Everyone deserves it, even the dead.
On the 3rd day of someone's death, they will arose from the...

My expression changed.
The smile I have, seconds ago, faded.
Napakurap-kurap ako at natulala ako ng ilang segundo. Hindi kaagad naproseso ng utak ko ang narinig. Literal na huminto ang mundo ko.
"H-Huh?"
Rena's smile didn't disappeared, but her expression, the look on her eyes. . .
As if it's killing me. . .
"R-Rena-"
"You thought that I'll move on, just like that?" she sarcastically asked. Hindi ako nakasagot.
"But-"
"Yeah, I told you that I don't want to think of anything today, but it doesn't mean that I've already forgotten about it." Sarkastiko siyang ngumiti.
"R-Rena, I will expain." My voice cracked. "I was about to apologize, beg for forgiveness as soon as you wake-"
"APOLOGIZE?! WILL THAT MAKE ME ALIVE?!"
I flinched when Rena shouted. She's not smiling anymore.
Parang natuyo ang lalamunan ko. I can't find the right words to say.

"Do you know, what if feels like, fucking smiling the whole day, spending it with your fucking killer?!" Naging garagal ang boses niya. Nanggagalaiti siya sa akin at nanlilisik ang mga mata.
"I want to fucking kill you, the moment you let your guard down, I want to fucking kill you."
"Seeing you act like as if nothing happened. As if everything is normal. YOU'RE FUCKING CRAZY, ISAAC! YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR MIND!"
Hindi ako makasagot.
Why is she making this kind of face?
She's calling me Isaac. . .
My Rena doesn't do that. . .
My Rena doesn't get angry at me. . .
Humigpit ang pagkasasara ng kamo ko.
"S-Stop. . ."
"WHY, ISAAC?!"
I bit my lower lip.
"I just did that. . . because I love you."
Rena's eyes widened, but not because she was surprised— but furious.
Agresibo niyang inalis ang asul na laso sa leeg niya, kung saan makikita ang bakas ng kamay na namasa.
