"Hindi kami nawawala, Cielo! Nagtatago kami dahil kami na lang ang natitirang buhay! Patay na silang lahat sa taas! 'Yung mga nandoon, hindi na sila tao at hinding-hindi sila titigil hanggang sa mapatay nila tayong lahat!"

"I... I-I'm... I'm s-sorry..." Nauutal na sabi ko. "S-Sorry" Nakagat ko ang labi ko para pigilan ang pag-iyak ko. "Para saan yang sorry mo? For avoiding me? For pushing me away? For cursing in front of my friends? For shouting at me? What? Alin don? Be specific, Jiel, so I can understand" D*mn it! Hindi ko na kayang pigilan ang luha ko. Hindi ko na kayang pigilan 'tong tinatago ng puso ko! Gusto na kumawala ng mga salitang hindi dapat sabihin. Gusto ng sumabog ng puso ko. Parang hindi na ako makahinga sa subrang pagpipigil. "Jiel" "Hindi puwede..." "Ayon ang laman ng isip ko, Ryxil. Ayukong sabihin. Natatakot ako" "Why? Jiel, hindi mo kailangan matakot. Andito ako, makikinig ako at maiintindihan kita, dahil kuya mo 'ko" "That's the reason. You are my step brother" "Natatakot ako na baka layuan mo 'ko o pandirian mo 'ko kapag sinabi ko sa 'yo ang rason kung bakit ako nagkakaganito" "Tell me Jiel" "No" "I promise I will not judge you. I promise to understand you. Trust me, Jiel" "Sinubukan kong tanggapin ka bilang kuya ko, but I felt something more than than that. Something that I shouldn't feel. Something forbidden"
