Dito sa mundo, kapag nagkasala ang bata, pinapalo bilang parusa. Ang kriminal, sinisentensiyahan.

Paano kung anghel ang nagkasala?

He knew he fell and it shouldn't hurt. But it did.

Luminga si Hyde.

The place was strange, the sound was unusual. There is a rustle somewhere not very far and whatever's emiting that sound sure seems to give hope, life...peace.

May naramdaman siyang kakaiba nang mahulog siya nang pahiga. He tried moving his hands. Dried leaves and twigs beneath him rustled as he moved.

Dirt! Dumakot siya doon at tinitigan. He see a color and he's got a handful of it... in his hands. Colors he was only allowed to look through the barrier from atop.

Where was he?

Walang ganito sa Tranche. Just light...and darkness.

Tumayo siya, realizing he no longer stand on the barrier.

He is on a land!

A soil!

Tumingala siya, ngunit hindi niya matanaw ang langit. Thick leaves covered the view of the sky.

Anong nangyari? Ang huling naaalala niya, nakikipagbuno siya sa kadiliman. And the golden lace broke. Bright light exploded. At humagis siya dala ng malakas na puwersa galing doon.

Next thing he knew, he was lying here on the dirt.

On... Earth?

Hinaplos ni Hyde ang gintong lubid sa balakang niya. Putol. Nagpapahiwatig na wala nang nagdudugtong sa kanya at sa tao. This is what connects him to human. Once broken, mawawalan na ng kunsensiya ang taong kinadudugtungan ng lubid. Tuluyan na itong hihilahin sa kadiliman.

He wept--for another lost soul that can't be save.

He felt pain on his wings. Nagitla siya nang kapain iyon at maramdamang wala na iyon. What is happening to him? Has the father took it away as a retribution to his failure?

He knelt and close his eyes.

Father, I know I have failed you. I accept my retribution hereafter.

He waited for a sign that the father have heard him. Nothing... Just peace. The wind, the rustling sound...and a sudden disturbance.

"Good bye, Andy!"

A captive of agony. There is a taste of tears on her voice. She needs deliverance!

He hastened towards the dirturbance, on his left, the direction of the sun.
