The Plan…
Kathryn: But wait… Papano niyo pala nalaman na kumakampi ang ilan sa mga opisyal sa hari? Paano niyo nalaman ang mga impormasyon na nagpupustahan ang karamihan sa kanila laban sa akin?
DJ: There may be officials that are against us. But not everyone… Just recently, lumapit sa akin ang duke. Sa kanya ko nalaman ang lahat. Of course, alam niya ang tungkol sa secret law. For many years, kasama ang pamilya niya sa ilan sa mga nakakaalam… So, obviously, he knows about us…
Kathryn: H-How did he know that it’s me?
DJ: Kath, does it even matter? He knows about that law for such a long time. And he’s not even telling anyone. Besides, he’s a duke. For sure, he has his ways to know things.
Kathryn: Bakit naman ang lakas ng loob niyang lumapit sa ‘yo para sabihin ang mga plano ng hari at ng mga officials? The king is still your father. Nandon pa rin ‘yung possibility na baka isumbong mo ang duke sa hari. Why is he so confident approaching you?
DJ: Apparently, hindi tayo ganon kagaling sa pagtatago…
Napakunot siya.
Kathryn: Huh? Anong ibig mong sabihin?
DJ: Nung nasa isla tayo… He knows that I stayed mostly at your place. Dun na nakumpirma ang kutob niya na mahal pa rin kita at hindi ako galit kahit hindi ako ang pinili mo… And if you’re going to ask me kung pano niya nalaman ang tungkol sa isla, it’s pretty obvious how. It’s not like masyado nating tinago ang tungkol sa bagay na ‘yon…
Katsumi: Wow!… Now I know kung bakit ang laki-laki ng pagkakangiti mo nung dumating ka after having that 3-day break…
Pareho nila itong hindi pinansin…
DJ: And the moment he found out, he approached me and told me that he’s willing to help… I was easily convinced… It’s not like I have other choice, Kath… Kaya pumayag na ako sa offer niya… He told me about the traps made for you… about the game being televised… about the bets…
Katsumi: And that’s where I will come in… When they say traps, it means everything is manipulated by computers… I will be the one to hack those and try to manipulate everything… I tried doing that the other day. But unfortunately, masyadong mahirap ma-infiltrate.
Kathryn: Kung hindi mo pala kayang i-hack? Then, saan pa patungo ang usapang ‘to?
Katsumi: For now, hindi ko pa kayang ma-hack… dahil on stand-by lahat. The moment na ginalaw nila ‘yon at nagsimula na ang competition, mas magiging mataas ang chance na mapapasok ko ang system…
Kathryn: So, walang assurance na maha-hack mo nga ang system?
Katsumi: Unfortunately, yes. Walang assurance. Mga experts ang kinuha ng palasyo… I’m not a superman, you know… But I’ll try…
DJ: Hindi pa natin alam kung ano ang mga traps. We can only know about that the moment the tournament begins. So, we’ll just go with the flow…
Kathryn: So, basically, makikipag-agawan si Kats sa pagkontrol ng buong system?...
Katsumi: Exactly…
