ellie meiziah

"So what was his real deal?

"Does he shows any motives
of getting back together?"

eustace athena

"Stop giving me ideas, Mei.
Because I'm totally fine and
contented right now."

"And I'm pretty sure that
he feels the same about it."

ellie meiziah

"I get it. Lubog ship ko,
any thoughts, Quinn?"

quinn lara

"Shut up, they're my ship
too. Sina Zayrel ang tanungin,"

eustace athena

"Oh please. Just stop,
we're here to have fun!"

"And not to talk about
my love life."

zayrel giana

"Forever Trenton ang
bato ko. Duh,"

"Wait, speaking of? I heard
you guys start to talk again?"

eustace athena

"It was nothing. We're friends.
Atsaka isa pa, don't get me wrong."

"I'm sure he's still in love with Miss Rai."

"Well, honestly, I'm not even searching for a
significant other right now."

"I want to make sure that before I love
someone again, gusto ko muna na
mauna kong mahalin ang sarili ko."

quinn lara

"I hope I have the same mindset she has. These
past few days, everything that surrounds me
became so negative to that point that I don't
really feel anything at all."

"It's draining. There were days that
I really felt like losing myself."

"I feel like I need a long rest. At hindi
ko naman 'yon magagawa with the
career that I chose."

ellaiah mae

"Hindi ko gustong ma-invalidate lahat ng
sinabi mo, but I can relate."

"Minsan mapapatanong ka na lang kung
ano bang purpose ng lahat?

"Ano bang gusto kong patunayan? Why do I keep
on striving when I knew it myself that I'm tired
of everything?"

"I thought, my life plans were perfect. Priorities
ahead, straight plans, and achieving something.
Earning, but never learn."

zayrel giana

"I like the fact on how we still have the same way
of talking to each other even after years has
already passed. No invalidating, no comparing."

"I couldn't blame you guys for feeling like that,
because everyone has their downfalls
sometimes. We still have a lot of dark times ahead
of us. I understand. Truly."

ellie meiziah

"And with those dark times, I will never promise to
be by your side for all times, but trust me when I
said that I'm still here. Just call me right away. I'd
be there, and even leave my work for you guys."

"My attachment is really great. I never thought
that I will reach this point in my life, that we will
be having this kind of conversation. I'm glad I
grew up in Eramis, and never thought to leave."

riye astride

"Honestly, I'm out of words
because all of my thoughts
you guys have already said it."

"But, I am no one better. I have
those kinds of days too. And like
Zayrel, I understand. A lot."

"I'm not having the perfect life
and I still have a lot to come for me."

eustace athena

"Stop. You guys are making
me cry!"

"It's funny how we all tell
ourselves how tired we are."

"But look at us? We're still striving. Because
asiding the fact that we still have a lot of dark
times ahead of us, we knew it ourselves that the
good times are yet to come."

"And I can wait."

"We can wait."
