Noah baby is calling . . . .

Noah:
Wake up

Sasamahan ko kayo ni Vious sa school

Santiago:
Ohhhhh?

Good morning Noah baby

Noah:
Vious?

Can I talk to Vious, Santi

Santiago:
What is it?

Noah:
Kailangan niyong mag-exam ngayon.

Tell Ryder to come here and
pick up the reviewers.

Mag-aral kayo habang kumakain.

I had already ordered soup, and
Santi's maid informed me that it was ready.

Santiago:
Can I just drop out?

Why do you keep insisting that
I can change?

Noah:
You must prove to your father that you are capable.

Santiago:
Huh

Let my grade fail so that I can drop

Wala naman siyang pakialam

And, for God's sake, Noah,
even if I change,
the issue is him;
he will never accept who I am.

Noah:
He hates your behavior because
you refuse to accept his position.

What if you'll try Vious?

Santiago:
Ryder

Go fuck Noah

Noah:
Santi

Please come

Santiago:
Hey Noah

I know I am not sober yet but. . . .

Think about it

Who are you siding with?

Is it Vious or his father?

Because if you truly understand Vious,
you will never beg or force him to do
something he already considers.

Hindi mo nararamdan ang nararamdaman niya

Even when the door is open,
he is always trapped in a cage.

He can't even decide whether it's
better to free himself or to keep
himself trapped inside.

Come on Noah . .

He allowed you to join our group,
ours Noah!

Why are you getting worse?

I can't help but think his father
gave you money just to
keep an eye on him.

Noah:
Alam mong hindi ko 'yan magagawa Santi

Santiago:
Then prove it!

Make me believe that you are on our side,
not his own father's!

Noah:
Eat

I'll talk to Miss Moira

I'm insisting because
I don't want to fucking walk
on stage by myself.

We started it, and
now you two have to
finish it with me.

It's either you two or nothing.

Santiago:
You're not a hero Noah.

Words of wisdom
cannot undo a trauma
or change a person's past.

It was already burried deep
inside his mind.

Tandaan mo 'yan.
