INT. HERA'S UNIT — 9:35 PM

Hera... I brought you din—hey, wait... why are you crying?

Come in first, Zeus.

Who made you cry!? Nakasalubong ko si Cro—oh, fuck. It was him!? What did he do!?

Wala... a-ano, he was asking for a chance to pursue me. I got mad...

Gago'ng 'yon! Where does he gets the nerves!?

That's what I told him. Naiinis ako kasi... ang sakit, Zeus. Noon. Sobra. Tapos ngayon...

You don't owe him anything.

I know, but...

But, what? What do you want do with him?

I.. I just feel bad. Bakit pakiramdam ko, ako pa rin ang masama?

That's what people do, Hera. They hurt you and then they make you feel bad for it. Wala kang kasalanan.

A-are you sure?

Yes. Now, come here. Let me wipe those tears for you. Tahan na. I hate seeing you cry.

Thank you...

What for?

For showing me how I should be treated. And for showing me that I deserve more than what I'm settling for.

Always, Hera. Always.
