Hello?

Uhm. Hey.

Are you okay? Your voice
seems different.

Wow. What's the difference of
my speaking voice here though?

Lack of energy.

Hah. Yeah. Maybe I lack of
energy tonight.

Are you sure you want
to talk? I can end this if
it's not okay with you.

No, it's fine Javi.
I'm just... not used to talk
over the phone.

Wala bang tumatawag sa'yo?

None.
Don't ask who didn't or why.
That's the last thing I would
like you to know.

I respect that.
So, what happened last
Friday?

I was... waiting for the sun to rose up
that morning. Until suddenly, it all went
black. Not because I lost consciousness but
because I suddenly lost my vision.

What?
Were you afraid when it
happened?

I want to say no right now. To be honest.
But... I know I'm just going to fool myself.

Because I really was afraid. I was so afraid.
Ang dami kong naisip na dapat ko pang
makita... I want to see more.

I want to see more Javi. I want to see
the world. If that's even possible
pero hindi na ako umaasa.

Okay na siguro yung mga litratong
kinukuha ko araw-araw. Okay na siguro
yun.

Is that the reason why you carry
your dlsr around?

I've always noticed you taking
photos and I always wonder why.

Can... can you tell me why?

I take pictures everyday and I write
something about it too. What I saw that
day, whom I'm with that day, or what I
felt that day.

I want to know if I'm going to feel the
same way I felt when I'm on that same
place again or with the same person again
when I can't see anymore.

I want to answer the question, will things be
the same if I go blind?

Will every single thing be the same?

Javi?

You still there?

Yeah. I'm still here.

Are you okay now?

Yes.

Good.
