I utter in a weak voice, barely above a whisper, questioning my existence, "Am I still alive?" My gaze locks onto Harmonia's face, observing the profound intensity in her eyes as she stares back at me, her unwavering attention undeniably present.
Surrounded by the familiar walls of the MDC emergency room, specially designated for agents like us, the gravity of the situation weighs heavy on my mind. The room, adorned with state-of-the-art medical equipment and marked with the distinctive emblem of the MDC, serves as a reminder of the risks and challenges we face in our line of duty.
"Thank you, Lord," sambit nito. "Akala ko ay tuluyan ka na talagang malalagutan ng hininga. Masamang damo, matagal mamatay nga naman," pabiro pa nitong sambit.
"What is happening?" I ask anxiously, my voice laced with worry, as I make a concerted effort to rouse my body.
"You are not allowed to exert any strength yet. Your red blood cells are still under observation. I am unfamiliar with the poison used on you, but I am certain it specifically targeted the cells I mentioned."
Hindi naman agad ako nakasagot. Iniisip ko kung saan ko posibleng nakuha ang lason at bakit hindi ko man lang iyon naramdaman. Kung ganon ay malaki ang posibilidad na malayang nakakalapit sa akin ang kung sinoman ang nagtangkang patayin ako sa madayang paraan.
"Nahihirapan kaming i-detect kung kailan ka pa nalason. Kung sa CC Bar mo nakuha ito ay hindi ba dapat ay dalawa tayo? Pero hindi eh, wala naman akong nararamdaman, Eunsun."
"Agent Persephone," pagtatama ko.
"Yeah, right. Agent Persephone," sarkastiko nitong sabi. "We cannot determine where you are getting the poison until the results of your blood test come out."
"How long does it take for the results to come out?"
"Oh, let me spell it out for you. It's already our nth test."
I close my eyes again, feeling lost and frustrated. I don't know how or when things went wrong.
What did I do to end up like this? Am I easily distracted by unimportant things or people? It's driving me crazy.
"Kumain o uminom ka ba ng mga pagkain o drinks na ipinadala ng mga fan mo sa set ninyo?"
"Hindi," tipid kong sagot. Tsaka kung sakaling kumain o uminom nga ako ay hindi lang naman ako ang malalason kundi maging sila Ate Rej din.
"Nabanggit mo sa akin na kasama mo si Deimos, hindi ba?"
"Yes, inihatid niya lang naman ako dahil nga masama ang pakiramdam ko."
"Kumain ka ba kasama siya?"
I fall silent once again. I don't know what to say. It's as if my tears want to escape due to the exasperation I'm feeling. And on top of that, I can't move around much.
