Hana's POV

After that incident happened at the abandoned building, we immediately took Kiro to the hospital. Luckily, his injury wasn't fatal.

When I made sure na ayos na si Kiro, I immediately went back to the building to find some clues about who was the person who threw the hollow block on Shin and me. I found some footprints on the fifth floor that day. And it's from a man's shoes. Lalaki ang nahulog ng hollow block kay Shin. Yes, kay Shin lang. I also found out that there's another person in that building that day. May nakita rin akong ibang footprints coming from fourth floor pababa. At maliit ang paa nito so I assume it's from a girl. So there's a 98% chance na siya ang naghulog ng hollow block sa akin na sinalo ni Kiro.

I'm sure that guy is a member of that syndicate hunting Shin, but the girl or whatever it is, I don't know who it was. Marami akong kalaban, but I never encountered one na mag-isang kung kumilos. They're too weak to attack alone.

"I found something in the CCTV in front of that abandoned building. Look at this." Hinarap ni Hide sa akin ang laptop nito na nakaplay ang CCTV footage.

He hacked into school security system kaya nakuha niya ang footage.

Pinanood ko ang footage. Ilang estudyante ang dumaan sa harap ng building nila Shin but no one get closer to the abandoned building.

"Wait," I said. Agad hininto ni Hide ang footage.

"What? Did you find something?" tanong niya.

"Ibalik mo footage nung around 11:20 AM," utos ko.

Agad naman nitong sinunod ang sinabi ko. When the footage played again, I focused on it.

"Stop!" Hininto agad ni Hide ang footage.

Bahagyang inilapit ko pa ang mukha ko sa laptop para makita nang maayos ang tinitignan ko.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Can you zoom it on this girl?" tanong ko kay Hide habang nakapoint ang daliri ko sa babae sa footage.

Her face is covered by her hair but she kinda looks familiar to me.

"Of course. Wait a second." Kinuha nito ang laptop at may kung anong ginawa rito.

Hideaki skills when it comes to computer systems are incredibly good. He is indeed Gramps grandson, manang-mana sa kaniya sa husay.

"Okay, done. Here." Inilapag nito ang laptop sa mesa ko.

Nakazoom in na sa mukha nung babae ang footage at medyo luminaw din ang video. He must've done something on this.

"Do you know her?" takang tanong ni Hide habang titig din sa babae. "Wait. She kinda looks familiar."

I stared at the girl's image on the laptop for like a couple minutes until I recognized who it was.

"Holy fuck," mura ng kapatid mo.

He recognized her too.

"Yuki." That bitch Yuki was this girl in this footage.

I recognized that bracelet she's wearing.

"Wait, so is she-"

"I don't know yet. Play the footage again. She could not be there anymore when that shit happened." Muling pinlay ni Hide ang footage.

Nang lumipas ang ilang oras, wala pa rin lumabas na Yuki mula sa footage simula nung makapasok ito ng building. Saktong nag 11:30 AM ang footage sa CCTV nang bigla itong nagglitch.

"What happened?" taka kong tanong.

"I don't know," taka ring sagot ni Hide at inayos ang footage. "Fuck. I think someone sabotaged the footage before I even got it." Hinarap ni Hide sa akin ang footage na ayos na ulit.
