Krystal woke up when she felt a drop of cold rain on her skin. She sat up. She was still at the shore, in the same ground she fell asleep in last night. It was still dark, but the stars were slowly hiding itself behind the thick clouds. She felt another drop on her shoulder. She turned to her right and saw Mika and Ara still asleep. She shook them.

Ara: Kelan pa?

Mika: Kagabi...
