3rd Persona

 

In Gilbert’s book, it says that wherever you are, If the blue fire chooses you, you can’t do anything about it. You can’t refuse, you can’t hide, and you can’t run. That is how persistent that blue fire is. Unless there is someone to hide you, someone that is more powerful than the blue fire.

Shiro remembered when Gilbert said in the book, "The Blue Fire chose us using the cup of our wine glass."

Almost half of the student cups appeared with blue flames, including mine and my friends', but the biggest flame belonged to Tedson’s cup. And he was no where to be found. In the end, we couldn’t find him. Even the blue fire failed to find him. In the end, it went to Jane’s cup. And it gives me nightmares. 'From there, I make a promise to myself that no matter what happens, she will finish the game alive.'

Ganito ang paraan ng pagpili sa panahon ni gilbert pero mukhang iba ata ang paraan ng pagpipipli sa panahon nila. Nanatiling naka lutang ang mga maliliit na asul na apoy at hindi ito bumabagsak, tila naghahanap pa ito ng mabibiktima at inihahanda pa ang sarili sa pag-landing.

Shiro had already forgotten about the bomb because her mind was already filled with thoughts about the blue fire.

Her hands trembled, and the cutter fell from her hand. Hindi niya alam kung bakit sobrang kaba ang nararamdaman niya ngayon, ngunit hindi kaba ang dahilan kung bakit nanginginig ang kaniyang kamay. Dahil ito sa mga porselas na nasa kaniyang kamay na tila nakikilala ang presensya ng asul na apoy, maging ang pendant ay parehas din ang kinikilos.

Inilibot ni shiro ang kaniyang paningin sa paligid at naabutan niya ang ibang studyante na nagpapaalam na sa isa’t-isa. Walang kasiguraduhan kung sino ang kukunin at kung sino ang maiiwan, kaya wala silang sinayang na sandali upang makapagpaalam sa bawat isa. Bumaling ito sa kaniyang kapatid na si Nero, at may dinukot siya sa kaniyang bulsa na agad namang inilagay ni shiro sa bulsa ng loob ng tux ni Nero.

Nero frowned. He was confused because of Shiro’s action. Up until now, Shiro hasn’t told Nero that they are siblings, and Jane wants Shiro to be the one who tells his brother. 

Labag man sa kaniyang kalooban ngunit alam niya na karapatan ng kaniyang pamangkin na malaman ang lahat.  Nilapitan niya si Nero at inilagay ang larawan ng kanilang magulang sa bulsa nito.

“Keep that thing inside your pocket. Huwag na huwag mong wawalain.” Bilin ni shiro sa kaniyang kuya.  

“What’s inside shiro?” 

Umiling si shiro. “Ipangako mo na hindi mo ito bubuklatin hanggat magkasama tayo.” Aniya.

Labag man sa kalooban ni Nero ngunit pumayag din siya at hinayaan nalang si Shiro. Gustong sulitin ni Nero ang mga sandaling ito dahil alam niya na isa siya sa mapipili ng asul na apoy. Kung meron man na hindi mapipili, sana ang mga tao na importante sa kaniya ang maiwan dito. 

"Can you... can you visit Sebastian for me, Nero? Tell him that I am waiting for the dance, so he needs to be better soon. " 

“Shiro, I can’t have a responsibility here.”

"Nero,” Jane cut off his nephew’s word. “Go and visit Sebastian. Leave the rest to us." 

"But Miss Jane," 

"Go now." May pagbabanta sa boses ng tiyahin niya. 

Nero is not afraid of his auntie, but he respects her so much because his auntie is the one who became his mother and father during those times when he longed for his family. She took great care of him, which is why he can’t disobey Jane.
