AB POV
FLASHBACK CONT.
tinatahak namin ang hallway papunta sa morgue. kasama din namin si nanay at iang isang bodyguard. nang marating na namin ang kilalagayan ni Nate at makita na siya ng kanyang ina. duon na pinakawalan ni Nat ang lahat ng sakit na kanyang nararamdaman. umiiyak din si nanay ito ang unang beses niyang makita si Nate. ngayon ko lang napagmasdan kamukhang kamukha niya ang nanay niya.
ilang minuto din kameng tumigil dun para pagbigyan si Nat na makasama ang anak niya. nang makabalik na kame sa kwarto at naiayos na namin si Nat.
