Uuwi ka ba talaga bukas?
Oo.
Eh sa'kin?
You're not my home anymore, Maine.
No need to hurt me.
Sorry. I just wanted to establish the fact that what we're having might be... temporary.
But that doesn't mean it's not real.
Yeah.
Baka lang magbago na ang isip mo pagbalik.
Hindi ko rin alam.
I just wish Cass would push you away.
That's selfish.
I know.
And she won't.
Alam ko rin. Kaya nga wish ang sabi ko, eh.
Kung magbago man ang isip ko –
Don't tell me.
What?
Just continue being you. Si Direk. And I'm just your screenwriter. Na kinokonsulta mo when you're having doubts about how you should direct your characters. Gano'n. If ever you come back here after that three-day break tapos ayaw mo nang ituloy 'to, don't tell me. Just walk away silently and pretend nothing happened.
Why?
So I could tell myself that it was nothing but a nice dream... and now I have to wake up.
Would it hurt less than a goodbye said out loud?
No.
Then why?
Wala lang.
Para siguro mapaniwala ko pa ang sarili ko na pwede pang matulog ulit.
Baka pwede pang ituloy 'yung panaginip.
Sequel, kumbaga.
Kahit tapos na talaga.
