"Next time kasi read the fine print teh noh" Mandy says as they walk the halls of ALAS corp. bldg. side by side. "Malay ko ba na may paganito, sana kayo na lang kumuha ng spot ko" Addison says looking up in the ceiling. "Buti nga pumayag na may kasama ka... para din tuloy kami nanalo" Mandy says as she and Shan squeals. "Ate Ads pag andoon si bebe ko Gab pa ask for a pic naman" Shan says holding Addison's arm and pleading. "Naka ilang nood na tayo ng vids nila pero hindi ko pa din sila ganon kakilala baka maling tao malapitan ko" Addison says as they enter the team game room.
"Hi po, Ms. Arceta? Please take a seat po muna sa couch intayin lang po natin si Mackenzie" Manager K greets them and leads them into the room. "Uhm matagal po ba yung stream?" Addison asks feeling more nervous. "Are you new to the game? BR naman ata lalaroin niyo at most maybe 30mins unless mag request pa spectators ng more game time" Manager K says smiling at Addison. "Uhm dadating po ba ibang players?" Mandy asks trying to hide her excitement. "Si Gab po specifically dadating ba?" Shan says obviously excited. "I think free time naman nila ngayon so they can stay here and watch, I'll fetch them na" Manager K says smiling at them before she leaves.
"Dude just to remind you, the game later will be streamed" Jhai says as they enter the elevator. "Oh ano naman? All our streams naman" Mackenzie says. "Pinapaalala lang namin, mamaya makalimutan mo mamura mo pa kalaro mo" Gab says teasing with a smile. "Patience my friend noh" Jhai says massaging Mackie's shoulder. "Mga kupal talaga" Mackenzie says shaking her head.
"Oh ayan na pala kayo" Manager K says seeing the team exit the elevator. "Is she here already? Na-prep na ba siya?" Mackenzie asks as they walk. "Maganda ba Ms. K?" Jhai asks. "Baka sakaling lumamig ulo nito pag nagkamali" Gab says teasing Mackie once again. "Kayo talaga... pero to answer your question, super ganda, and with friends pa ha" Ms. K says bantering with Jhai and Gab. "Oh yun score" Jhai says shaking Mackie and high fiving Gab. "Kayo talaga wala naman sakin kung maganda siya" Mackenzie says as she opens the door. As she turns her head she catches a glimpse of an ethereal beauty, a soft glow that stirs something. Time seems to pause, and for a brief moment, their eyes meet, sparking an unexpected connection.
"H-Hi" Mackenzie says meeting Addison's eyes. "Oh nahinto ka dyan" Jhai says seeing Mackenzie like stone. Gab and Jhai turns to look at what Mackie's been staring at for a hot minute. "Ah kaya nanlambot" Jhai says nodding her head like she agrees.
"Let's start the stream?" Manager K asks Mackie as the cameras point to them and Addison while another camera is set up for the couch to see the others reactions. "If she's ready we can start" Mackie says, it's the only thing she's said since they entered the room 15 mins ago. "Uhm sige let's start... to warn you lang I'm very new to the game... I might shoot at you..." Addison confesses feeling embarrassed lowering her head. "That's totally ok, I'll guide you through the whole thing" Mackie whispers to Addison in her low voice.
