Nyx:
Hi

Saint:
Naniniwala ka na?

Nyx:
Not a hundred percent.
Curious lang ako. Ikaw ang kasama ko nang gabing ’yon, ’di ba?

Saint:
Yes, ako iyong nag-confess.

Nyx:
Matagal na ba?

Saint:
Noong birthday mo. Noong nalunod ako at sinundan mo ako sa tubig.

Nyx:
What happened? Paano kayo nagkapalit?

Saint:
This is based on a theory I read. ’Di ba sinalubong nating dalawa ang birthday mo sa lawa?
It was midnight when I almost drowned. During midnights, the barrier between our universes becomes blurry. Magkakaiba ang bawat universe na nag-eexist pero ang mundo nating dalawa ang pinaka-similar. This allowed me to travel to yours while the Saint in your world traveled to mine.
The events in your world mirrors mine, that's why ang mga mundo natin ang nagkakaroon ng mix up. Noong muntik malunod ang Saint mo, iyon din ang panahong nalunod ang Nyx dito. When you tried to save him, I tried to save her.
I read all of this from a journal Saint left in here. I think he knows that he is not from here. He also figured out that the lake is one of the barriers.

Nyx:
Natagpuan din ba sa lawa ang katawan ni Nyx sa inyo? That's what happened to Saint.

Saint:
This is where it gets complicated.
The Nyx in my world died that night. Tuluyan siyang nalunod. Saint was able to survive that's why he lived for two more months in my world.
The night you rejected me, I went back to the lake. Napansin kong umilaw iyon kaya ako tumalon. Nakabalik ako rito. I spent months understanding what happened, until I read your message and confirmed that I travelled through different dimensions.

Nyx:
Kung gano’n, three months ago pa dapat bumalik si Saint. Tama?

Saint:
Yes, but the barrier was too unstable. Not only did his body travel from universes, but it somehow broke the fabric of time and reality.

Nyx:
Hindi ko gets.

Saint:
It was your Saint’s destiny to die the same night my Nyx died. Since nagkaroon nga ng mix up, nabuhay pa siya dito sa mundo ko. Hindi nakabalik kaagad ang katawan ni Saint sa mundo ninyo. His body travelled through time and dimensions. What does his body look like when you found him?

Nyx:
The same on he's been wearing noong gabi ng birthday ko. I couldn't forget dahil regalo ko ’yon noon sa kaniya.

Saint:
It's impossible that he's wearing that noong gabing tumalon ako. The body that went back to your world was Saint’s when he died.

Nyx:
Oh my God.
Why did he jump? And why did you?

Saint:
From the journal your Saint left, I'm assuming he tried to go back here because he missed his Nyx— you. Iyon din ang gusto ko noon. I wanted my Nyx back, that's why I wanted to be back.

Nyx:
And that's when the universe decided to fix what was broken?

Saint:
Yes.

Nyx:
If Saint was able to break the fabric of time, is it possible for me to travel time? Gusto kong bumalik.

Saint:
I don't know how that works.

Nyx:
Well, is it possible for me to travel to your universe?

Saint:
That's why I replied. I want you here, Nyx. Meet me at midnight.
At exactly twelve, tatalon ka sa lawa. Sabay tayo.

Nyx:
Is it possible?

Saint:
I'm not sure yet, but we will try.
I'll see you, then.

Nyx:
Meet me there. I'll see you.
