@Comet you didn't come to univ last Friday. Don't tell me you're still not gonna come today?

Cardan
Friday pa siya  nasa ospital eh. Binabantayan si Given.

Atlas
And why didn't I know about this? Also, what happened with Given?

Comet
Her Dad was caught up in that accident from Avila Street.

Atlas
What?

Damn, that's hard. How is she?

Comet
I don't know. She won't let me see her or talk to her. Nasa baba lang ako and I communicate with her sister to get updates tho hindi rin madalas kasi nag-aaral din 'yon.

Atlas
So you're still not gonna come to school?

Comet
Importante si Given, Atlas. Kaya ko namang bawiin lahat ng magiging backlogs ko. I just really wanna be here for her even if I can't go near her to comfort her.

Cardan
Paano 'pag nalaman niyang andiyan ka?

Comet
She won't. That's the purpose of me swapping cars with you for now. Saka sigurado naman akong hindi sasabihin ni Grace sa kaniya.

Cardan
Her other sister might. Sabi mo nakita ka na rin no'n di'ba? Alam niyang nandiyan ka since Friday.

Comet
I just hope she won't snitch on me.

Anyway, don't worry about me. I'll be fine.

Atlas
You're going home too, right?

Cardan
Believe me or not, hindi pa umuwi 'yan mula no'ng magkita kami.

Atlas
And that was since Friday? Like literally?

Cardan
Yup.

Comet
I went home once. I just grabbed a jacket for her and some clothes for me. There are gasoline stations nearby. Doon ako naliligo. I really don't want to leave because Given might step out of the hospital. Hindi ko siya pwedeng pabayaan.

Cardan
At this rate, magiging St. Leander, Patron of Sacrifices ka na.

Atlas
We'll pass by later. Dalhan ka namin pagkain ni Alaina.

Comet
Okay thanks. Appreciated.

I have to go. Take care bros.

Cardan
'Ge St. Leander, pray for us sinners.

Comet
Fuck you.

Cardan
Yocco. Kay Argela lang aq.

Atlas
Fuck you, Cardan.

Cardan
Yocco nga, kulit. Mga bading ba kayo?
