A few minutes passed, ilang tao na rin ang natest. Nabawas-bawasan na ng tao yung pila. Si Cage, sa kabilang lane na pumila dahil konti nalang doon yung tao.

The door opened at yung nasa harap ko na ang pumasok. The next one is me. I looked at Cage at siya na rin ang sunod.

Hindi ko alam kung kakabahan ba ako because I'm the next one and I don't have any clue kung ano ang ginagawa sa loob.

Maeexcite because it's my first time and I can't wait anymore.

Or matatakot because in this world, it's hard to put trust on someone.

"I'll be fine." I said to my self.

In any minute, pwede nang lumabas ang tao sa loob. Please make it longer. I'm not ready yet.

The founders said that they divided us into sectors because it's also for us, for the world. They divided us, to keep the peace.

But we don't have peace anymore. Hindi na kami nagkaroon ng katahimikan simula nung war. Hindi na kami bumalik sa dating pamumuhay dahil sa war.

I don't know why people were fighting. At mas lalong hindi ko alam kung ano ang pinaglalabanan nila.

Dahil ba, gusto nila ng sariling mundo? Ng sariling pinamumunuan? Ng sariling teritoryo?

But this world was big enough para pamunuan ng iisang tao o grupo lamang. How selfish they are.

But I wish I was smart enough para maisip  na hindi pa tapos ang war. I think, it was just about to start.

Dahil simula nung first war, hindi na nakuntento ang mga tao, hindi na sila natahimik.

Gusto nila, lagi silang may pinaglalaban. Lagi silang may pinag-aawayan.

After the war, wala kaming nakamit na hustisya. Justice was unclaimable. Mas lalong naging makasarili ang mga tao.

Nawala rin ang kapayapaan. Peace was truly gone.

Kahit ang pag-asa ng bawat tao. They always think that, hope is a dangerous thing. Ang hope pa ang nakakapatay sa mga tao.

Kaya naman napakahirap mabuhay sa mundong ito. You can't just think about yourself, ang sabi nila. Pero sila pala mismo ang sarili lang ang iniisip.

Being unfair is what they want.

Surpisingly, bigla namang bumukas yung pinto at parang nanghihina yung taong lumabas. What happened to her?

"Next one." The doctor said.

I looked at Cage. "Let's go." He mouthed. Natapos na rin kasi yung tinetest sa pila niya. I took a deep breathe and closed my eyes.

As I opened, I nodded at sabay na kaming pumasok ni Cage.

The room was very plain, at kaming dalawa lang tao dito ng doctor.

I looked at her. I didn't expected na ganitong klaseng doctor ang makikita ko. I thought, she was wearing a lab gown, with surgery gloves, nakamask. 'Yun bang really formal. But no.

She was wearing see-through crop top. Halatang-halata yung metal strap ng bra niya. And she was wearing jeans na punit sa laylayan. And a boots. At nakabraid ang left side ng buhok niya.

"I'm Zonya, you're doctor for today. After your test, I'll send your result to our leader, Macro. Para maregister ang pangalan mo at makapili ka sa choosing ceremony." She said habang inaayos yung mga gamit. She looked at me. I smiled.

"I'm Tris Lawyer." She nodded.

"Hmm, daughter of James Lawyer. Lay down." She said at sinunod ko naman.
