Nakita rin niya ang medications box ko na nakalagak sa first aid kit. Lahat ng gamot na 'yon ay mga gamot na iinumin ko upang mawala na ang apat kong mental disorders, but I only took the ones that are for depression and anxiety.

"You're not going to cure your OCD and bipolar disorder?" he asked. Tumango ako dahil may silbi rin ang dalawang ito.

"Are you still in your mind? These two are worse, yet you—"

"They have uses, and I will use it" diin kong tugon. And as I stare onto his blue eyes, blue eyes like Zenon's...

I changed my eye color into red, and time stopped as we stare into the eyes of each other.

If he wants to start a competition with me just by staring, then I won't let this competition lose.

Lorraine: I sent it already, they already sent their condolences for your "death"

Lorraine: pero seryoso ka na ba rito Kathryn? Pangalan kasi ng personal maid mo ang gagamitin mo sa susunod eh. Eh patay na 'yung tao.

Lorraine: isn't that bad?

I opened my phone, only to see bunches of messages from Lorraine. I faked my death and used her name at sinabi ko na ito sa kanya.

I know that this is very wrong pero I had to use her, to avenge myself and her against everything, as a friend.

I decided to see it but no replies. Hindi naman siya magagalit, normal lang ma-seen zoned sa chat.

Ever since I step foot here in Italy, nagbago na rin ang aspects ko sa buhay. Dati panay ako active sa cellphone, ngayon ay hindi na.

Tila ba bagong salta ako pagdating sa teknolohiya if it wasn't for these people who I still keep in touch with.

Alam kong masama ang ginawa ko, pero ano ang magagawa ko? Magmumukha akong duwag sa lahat at takot na lumaban nang ako lang at walang alias na ginagamit.

Leicester badanged my wrist at tinawag ang personal maid niya upang palitan ang bedsheets ko. He switched it into dark red ones.

Dark red ones... Is he trying to imply that blood simply resonates with that color?

"Take a rest, and I'll stay there in the funeral"

I decided to go downstairs. Narito ang mga Merisi, pamilya ni Alania. Nagsisiiyakan ang mga ito, lalo na ang bunso niyang kapatid na kambal na babae at lalaki. Siguro mga four or seven years old pa ang mga ito.

I can't see Alania's sleeping face, napakaputla nito at... Hindi ko masikmuraang titigan.

I'm not used to see the face of dead people. I always blame myself for their deaths because of my cruelty.

Hanggang ngayon ay sinisisi ko pa rin ang aking sarili dahil sa pagkamatay niya.

Hindi ako bumaba nang tuluyan, bumalik ako sa taas but I looked back and saw Jane following me.

"What do you want?" I hissed. Natinag ang pinsan sa tinig ng boses ko but she gathered some time to speak.

"Wala, gusto kang makita ng buong Merisi" anunsyo niya sa akin. I glanced at her, mukhang seryoso siya sa sinasabi niya.

"Are you sure?" I asked sternly, followed by a sigh after. Tumango siya.

"Tell them that I'll be there in a minute. And Jane, kayo muna ni Leicester magbantay. I need to reflect on myself... Once again"
