"Sejun diba?"

"Sejun Nase po"

The police officer leaned on the chair and talked to him.
"Alam mo kasi Sejun, di kami basta-basta nag didisclose ng information about sa victim at complainant"

"Pero sir parehas po kaming nabaril non, gusto ko lang po malaman full name o contact number nya"

"Hindi talaga pwede, unless mag file ka rin ng case at kumuha ka ng abogado mo at ipag utos ng korte na idisclose namin ang information sa yo"

Sejun was confused for a moment, as far as he knows he was a victim too but how come the case becomes strange to him? As if Justin was the only one involved.

"Anyway kahit di ka naman mag file ng case umuusad naman ang investigation..mayaman yung kasama mong nabaril"

"Pero sir gusto ko lang po malaman kung kamusta sya?"

"Ah yun ba? Wag kang mag alala galos lang napala no'n mas malala ang inabot mo"

Sejun is not familiar with how a case or an investigation works but he could sense insencerity from the police. They are hiding something.

"Para sa'n ba to? Ang alam ko binayaran naman nila pagkaka hospital mo ah though parehas naman kayong biktima"

"Hindi naman po ako nanghihingi ng pera" Shit! So they think na peperahan ko pamilya ni Justin. He feels insulted and disdained.

"Kung gusto mong mag file ng case pwede ka naming tulungan"

"Wag na po"

Deja vu. Everything seems familiar to him like what happened four years ago. The police are disinterested, protecting someone with name and money. He went to the police station hoping to find something to contact Justin but he was insulted instead. F*ck em, may araw din kayo" he thought.

A while ago he went out of the house worried about Justin, wondering how is he doing. But Sejun went home feeling humiliated, asking himself how the hell Justin managed to ignore someone who saved his life. It's been months but he has never heard of Justin. "Gano'n na lang ba yun? Taena wala man lang thank you?" Now he realized, he is starting to hate Justin.
