Ahren Escaño



Ahren:
hey, are you okay?
are you nervous?

Sancia:
huh? pano nalaman


Ahren:
you kept tapping your fingers on your thighs awhile ago before you went to the bathroom


Sancia:
right
honestly, I’m not scared of competing, Wren. I’m scared of not being able to meet anyone’s expectations. I am more scared of failing.



Ahren:
You shouldn't be.

it’s not only your baggage to carry if we fail,

and to remind you, you’re not competing alone.

you have me, we’re in this together.

who cares about other people’s perception anyway? either we win or lose, they always have something to say.

i’m saying you should compete without thinking of others concerns but rather enjoy yourself without the pressure of winning.

don’t worry, i won’t let you down.
we’ll win this, okay?

Come out now, Sancia. I’m outside.



Sancia:
Thank you for your kind
and comforting words, Ahren.
It really helped me calm down.
I’ll just wash my face.


Ahren:
Anytime, Sancia.
take your time
