"Through a thousand strings, I see the threads of fate entwine.
Mountains fall, rivers stop, there are sufferings, yet the eye of Heaven remains blind.
In darkness is the seed of dawn; in radiance, the shadow concealed.

Summer's POV
After our conversation ni Yinxi, I decided to take a shower para ma-clear ang mga iniisip ko. But I still couldn't grasp kung pano nya ginawa yun? Fireflies... That was the first time I'd ever seen one up close. And the way she trusted me nung sinabi ko, "try it... If it's poison, then I'll die with you."
Heh! Talagang iinumin nya 'yon... Just because she trusts me? Hayst, ano ba iniisip ko?! Ako dapat ang mag-ingat-she's a stranger, and yet, here she is inside my home. But strangely, I felt safe around her. Arghhhh! Kino-contradict ko na naman ang sarili ko, kainis!
Bahala na! Lilinisan ko na lang 'tong sugat sa kamay ko. Tinapat ko ang palad ko sa tubig ng shower. To my surprise, I saw nothing but my smooth skin---walang sugat, as if nothing happened. I thought I was only dreaming nung naramdaman ko yung something na mainit na ewan when Yinxi held my hand earlier.
Ano nga ba talaga ang nangyayari? Totoo nga bang isa syang time traveler or ano? And speaking of time traveler, I remembered about spiritual powers na sinasabi nya...! Just what the hell is going on? But there's only one way to find out if totoo nga ang sinasabi nya.

After a few moments, lumabas na ako sa shower at nagbihis. Lumabas ako ng kwarto na hinihigaan ko and saw Yinxi, she was focused on the TV, she looked so amazed---para syang bata. "Miss Zhang, I tried to go there, but I couldn't. Why is that?" Bigla nalang nyang tanong, at hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko. "Well, you won't really be able to get in there. That's just a television." I said, and slowly sat next to her.
"Television? Is this thing called Television?" Tanong nya as she pointed her index finger sa TV. I nodded. "What's that?" Eto na yung pinaka-dreaded moment ko---may isang taong magtatanong ng mga bagay na nakaugalian ko na pero hindi ko ma-explain ng maayos.
"Uhm... It... It was created to... Uhm... Entertainment." I nodded kasi proud ako sa sarili ko na naalala ko yung 'entertainment' na word, shaks... I'm silently screaming on the top of my lungs, like literal! "But why can't we enter it? Why can we only watch it?" Tanong nya, and seriously? Pati rin ba yun?
"Because it was made that way... Like I said, it's only for entertainment."
"Okay... By the way, how did you learn the language of my people?" Bigla nyang binago yung topic, "Language of your people? You mean Chinese?"
