Tama's Mother: Tama, wake up. You got errands to do. Your friend is here, too.

After shower and breakfast, she goes outside to meet Daniel. Ako and Koyuki are with him.

Koyuki: Morning, Tama.
Tama: Good morning. Koyuki, is it?
Koyuki: Yes.
Tama's Mother: Are you one of her friends as well?
Ako: Yes. We came to see her. I'm Ako Hatoda.
Daniel: Morning.
Tama: Daniel? What are you doing here?
Daniel: I'm also running errands for my grandmother.
Tama's Mother: Tama, I'll need you to buy some ingredients for our lunch, but stay close and don't wander off. Here's the list if you're confused.
Tama: Yes, mom.

They all leave the house, and go on to the supermarket.

Ako: Tama, I found what you were looking for! Come here!
Tama: I'll be right there!

Daniel as the newspaper kiosk, searching for a right brand that his grandmother uses.

Daniel: Let's see. There should be a Filipino Star brand here...Found it, and today's news.
Kiosk Cashier: That will be 10 pesos.
Daniel: Here.
Kiosk Cashier: Thank you.
Daniel: I should finish the rest with the others.

Daniel regrouped with the rest. Tama and the others have finished shopping. She feels a little sad and upset.

Tama: I got the ingredients. Did I get them correctly?..

Daniel replies, while patting her in the head for a good finding for what they need.

Daniel: Let me see. Hmm, yes. You matched it all.
Good girl.
Tama: Thanks.

They all walk home arriving in time for lunch. Daniel also arrives at his home, giving the newspaper to his grandmother.

Daniel dresses up in his civilian attire. He goes outside with his grandparents, with the car started by his grandfather. Tama and Ako goes along with Daniel.

Tama: Daniel?...
Daniel: What is it?
Tama: Can we go along with you?
Ako: I have a small package to deliver to your friend, Johann.
Daniel: Go on. (Gramps, they're coming along with me.)
Rodolfo: (Okay, son. They'll be sitting in the back with you.)

The car drives away. They talk to each other.

Daniel: Ako, about that package for Johann. What's inside it?
Ako: A maintenence portable toolkit for a car.
Daniel: I see. His father must have been in trouble to repair his SUV. He should be there.

Caridad Residential Street, Cavite City

Rodolfo: (We're here. I'll park at the De Guzman, and be on Cedric's house.)
Daniel: (Sure.)

Their car is now parked behind a truck. All of them leave the car and be on their way. They walk to his old home that is beside the computer cafe.

Daniel: This was my home.
Tama: Your home?
Daniel: In the past, until it was renovated into a bakery. I always visited this place. See that? That store, beside the internet cafe, is the one. Come with me. I already know the entire place.

They go inside the bakery. Daniel shows the interior. Only the baking oven, supplies, and equipment are here.

Daniel: Right here, it was a bit skippy, until we moved everything to Noveleta.
Ako: You must have been poor family.
Daniel: Not so much, until one night, my mother was turned into a battered wife because my dad acting like a fool who doesn't know how to take care and grow a family. I had to let that go, as I forgave him. Someday, I will bring them back for our family to be whole and return our lives to normal.
Tama: That's kinda sad to hear from you, but that was nice to hear that you are still working for their sake.
Daniel: Let's get outside.
