"What will you do there? Why?" Tanong ko sa kanya habang nakikinig sila sa amin, yung apat lang syempre. 

"I want to experience your world before this world." Kuya Zenith explained.

"You need the key of Korakuen for that." Andropov said, oo nga pala kailangan din n'ya ng susi ng Korakuen pero na kay Mama yun dahil ibinalik yun ni Tita Sheela bago kami pumasok sa mundong 'to. They used the alternate way to go in the human world and we use the Asnamon portal to get here.

"Can you help me get it?" Kuya asked Andropov and Andropov eyed me.

"She can help you cousin, not me. She knows where Lolo hid the key of Korakuen." Andropov pointed his finger at me so as Matthew. Ako lang naman talaga ang nakakaalam tsaka si Lolo, when we buried Mama's body kinuha ni Lolo ang susi.

"Alam ko hindi tayo masyadong close, but learning from them, parang gusto kong maranasan yung naranasan mo dati. I feel dumb whenever I talk to them. So please help me Emerald," Pagmamakaawa ni Kuya Zenith sa akin, he knows I can't say no to him.

"By the way, last question little sis. Are you hearing voices?" Kuya whispered his question, I was shocked when he asked me that. He's hearing Papa's voice too or am I dreaming or he's kidding me?

"What kind?" I asked back then if he tried to recall some of the voices' speech or sentences. Then his necklace caught my attention, it's the Yin sign wrapped up with an ancient dragon causing me to look at my necklace. It's the same.

"A man's voice."

"Hinahalay ka na ata grabe ka! Lumayo ka sa akin!" Pang-aasar ko sa kanya kaya sinamaan naman n'ya kaagad ako ng tingin.

"Emerald! Ano ba!" Sabay gulo n'ya sa buhok ko, aayusin ko na naman ang buhok ko mamaya pagdating sa den.

"I'm just kidding. And about your question, yes." I answered him right this time causing him to look at me, "I heard it when I entered this world." Then I sipped at my drink and still looking at his necklace, I wanted to ask Kuya where he got it but something stopped me from asking.

He didn't speak anymore, tumayo na s'ya kaya tumayo na rin kami. We bid goodbyes to Kuya Zenith before we parted our ways. When I looked at the hair clip King Charon gave me, it turned into a vintage peacock hair stick. Mysterious yet beautiful.

Nang makadating kami sa den dumiretso kaagad ako sa shower at nanligo, ayoko nang malagkit ako paghumiga sa kama ko dito sa den. When I finished taking a quick shower, I went to the kitchen and dine with them since it's evening when we arrived at the den.

I bun my hair first using the vintage peacock hair stick because my hair is near my butt, I used the one King Charon give me. "Kanino naman galing yan?" Peridot asked.

"Ito yung hair clip kanina na binigay ni King Charon sa akin." Tumango tango na lang s'ya at tinuloy ang pagkain. When I finished my food, I brush my teeth and went straight to my room. Nakita ko namang nakasunod sa akin si Carlos.
