"Alam mo, may advantage din pala 'tong pagiging makakalimutin mo eh."
"Po?"
"Oh diba ginagalang mo na ako ngayon samantalang kahapon hindi."
". . ."
"Tapos pwede pa kitang sabihan ng malulupet kong sikreto kasi hindi mo rin naman maaalala."
"Uhm..."
". . ."
". . ."
"Anyway, Jihoon nga pala. Although I know useless din ang pagpapakilala ko kasi hindi mo rin naman maaalala kinabukasan tapos tatanungin mo lang ulit ako."
". . ."
"Hindi ka ba nagsasawa sa buhay mo?"
". . ."
"The same dull cycle every freaking day. Like a puny planet stuck in a hopeless inertia."
". . ."
"Alam mo ba?"
". . ."
"Malamang hindi. Dory ka eh."
". . ."
"Nag-isip-isip ako kagabi. Kung i-bo-block ko 'tong number mo o hayaan ka nalang magmukhang tanga araw-araw. Hahaha."
". . ."
"Don't get me wrong okay? I don't give a shit about you and your stupid dementia. Pero nakakaawa ka rin, to be honest."
". . ."
"Ang dami mong nasasayang na ala-ala."
". . ."
"I wonder... I wonder if nakakalimutan mo talaga sila totally o baka nandiyan pa rin sila somewhere at the back of your mind."
". . ."
"Seungcheol."
". . ."
"Lemme ask you this question again. Nasaan ka kahapon at anong ginawa mo?"
". . ."
"Seungcheol, answer me."
". . . Nasa Mall. May binili ako."
"See? You're stuck on that day."
"Hindi kita maintindihan."
"Your mind works like a broken tape recorder. At ang nasa loob ng tape recorder na 'yun, iyon at iyon lang ang naaalala mo araw-araw. All the things that are happening afterwards ay nakakalimutan mo. These extra memories don't stay long in your mind."
". . ."
"Short-term memory loss."
". . ."
"What happened to you?"
"Hin-"
"Anak, sino 'yang kausap mo?"
"Ah wala po. Pero ma, may itatanong po sana ako sa'yo."
"Ano 'yun?"
"Alam niyo po 'yung short-term memory loss?"
". . ."
". . ."
"Ma..."
"I don't think this is a good idea Seungcheol."
"B-bakit mo naman natanong 'yan anak?"
"Anong date ngayon, Ma?"
"J-July 12, 2013."
". . ."
"Hello? Hello Jihoon? You're Jihoon, right? Anong date ngayon?"
"Ju-"
"'YUNG TOTOONG DATE."
"June 19, 2016."
"2016?!"
"A-anak wait. I can explain."
"TANGINA MA ANONG 2016?! 2016 NA NGAYON?!"
"Seungcheol. Seungcheol! Listen to me! You need to calm down."
"PUTANGINA ANONG NANGYARI?!"
"Anak kumalma ka muna. Ipapaliwanag ko sa-"
"TATLONG TAON?! ANONG NANGYARI SA'KIN SA TATLONG TAONG 'YUN MA?!"
"SEUNGCHEOL CALM DOWN! NARIRINIG MO BA AKO? HELLO?!"
"Umupo ka muna at ipapaliwanag ko sa'yo."
"TANGINA, SI PAPA?! ASAN SI PAPA?!"
"W-wala na siya. Anak, one year ago, i-inatake siya ng sakit sa puso."
". . ."
"Anak 'wag kang umalis!"
"SEUNG-"
