Athos : Stay where you are. Don't go home.
Natalie is typing...
Natalie : Ikaw uli. 😐
Natalie is typing...
Natalie : Mamamatay na naman ako?
Athos : Not intentionally.
Natalie : 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
Natalie is typing...
Natalie : Ang dami ko talagang naiintindihan. Kabado na ko bawat minuto ng buhay ko pero ang iksi mo sumagot.
Natalie : Isn't it your responsibility to tell me what's happening to me?
Athos : Humans.
Natalie : Wow.
Natalie : Just wow.
Natalie is typing...
Natalie : Sorry, ha? Sorry kung inaabala kitang mag-explain kung bakit lagi akong mamamatay!
Natalie : Pasensiya ka na kung nakaka-paranoid na sa tuwing susulpot ang messages mo, mamamatay ako!
Natalie : SOBRANG MALAKING ABALA SAYO NA I-EXPLAIN KUNG BAKIT LAGI AKONG IN THE BRINK OF DEATH!
Athos : Are you mad?
Natalie is typing...
Natalie : Wow.
Natalie : Hindi. Masaya ko nito.
Natalie : Look. Nakangiti ako.
Natalie : Nakikita mo ko, di ba? 😠
Athos : Where are you going? I told you to stay put.
Natalie : WHAT KIND OF STAY PUT?
Natalie : Hindi ako pwedeng magtagal dito sa coffee shop namin. Kailangan tong isara.
Natalie : Tapos may kaibigan akong naghihintay sakin sa sakayan ng jeep.
Natalie : Kaya ano pong stay put?
Athos : There's a 24-hour coffee shop two blocks from where you are. Dun ka tumambay.
Natalie : Wala akong pera.
Athos : What do you need money for?
Natalie : 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
Natalie : Tatambay ako?
Natalie : Sa coffee shop?
Natalie : Nang walang pera?
Athos : Why not? You'd rather die?
Natalie is typing...
Natalie : 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
Natalie : Wow.
Natalie : Wow.
Natalie : I underestimated you.
Athos : Do what you're told, stupid human.
Athos : I'm saving you. I'm not a sponsor to worry about your money.
Natalie : Fine!
Natalie : Sasabihan ko lang si Eunice na wag niya kong hintayin!
Athos : Hurry.
Natalie is typing...
Natalie : Done!
Athos : Move your ass. Now.
Natalie is typing...
Natalie : 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬
Athos : Didn't you know the definition of hurry? You're supposed to be smart. Bakit ang bagal mo maglakad?
Natalie is typing...
Natalie : Hayyyyyyy
Athos : Sa corner ka umupo. Wag diyan sa bungad ng pinto.
Natalie is typing...
Natalie : Hayyyyyyyyyy
Natalie : Ano pa, bossssss?
Athos : Stay there.
Natalie : Gano katagal?
Athos : Until 4 in the morning.
Natalie : 4?!
Natalie : 8 pa lang!!!
Natalie : Pano ko matutulog???
Natalie : Marami akong gagawin bukas!
Athos : You'd rather die?
Athos : Fine. See you.
Natalie is typing...
Natalie : At least tell me why I'm dying, you idiot death!!!
Natalie : Hello?
Natalie : Ano na?
Natalie : Wala ka na naman?
Natalie : Hindi ka na naman sasagot?
Natalie : Argh! This is so frustrating!!!
Natalie : WHY AM I DYING????!!!!
Natalie : WHY????
Natalie : WHY ARW YOU HELPING ME?
Natalie : TELL ME, DUMB DEATH!
Natalie : SUMAGOT KAAAAAAAAA
Natalie : Nakakainis!
Natalie : Sumagot ka!
Athos : Are you crying?
Natalie is typing...
Athos : Umiiyak ka nga.
Natalie : Of course!!!!
Natalie : Does it look like I'm enjoying myself with all of these tears?
Athos : Don't cry.
Athos : It won't help at all.
Natalie : It helps me! Anong gusto mong gawin ko?
Athos : Calm down, dumb human.
Natalie : Wow, ha?! Mamamatay ako pero calm down!
Natalie is typing...
Natalie : Wow.
Athos : I just saved you.
Athos : You should calm down since you'll be safe here. Kahit na wala kang pera.
Natalie : Yeah. That's really comforting.
Natalie : Since you've sent me a message, lahat na lang ng pwede kong ikamatay, naisip ko na.
Natalie : How could you tell me to calm down?
Athos : Stupid.
Athos : You should not worry about death when you see my messages.
Athos : I can only talk to you when you're in the brink of death. When you're almost meeting me.
Athos : But you still shouldn't worry because I won't let you die.
Natalie is typing...
Natalie : Wait
Natalie : Pwede mo lang akong kausapin kapag may chance akong mamatay?
Athos : Yes.
Natalie : Kapag may chance akong mamatay, may connection tayo? Parang ganun?
Athos : Yes.
Natalie : Kaya ka biglang nawawala pagkatapos mo kong utus-utusan ng gagawin ko to be saved?
Athos : Yes.
Natalie : It's not because you're rude?
Athos : It's also because I'm not in the mood to explain things.
Natalie : 😡
Natalie : So, rude ka nga rin. 😡
Athos : Yes.
Natalie : Wow. You even agree to that. 😑
Athos : Keep asking while I still have the patience to tolerate you.
Natalie : Wow. 😐
Natalie : Pano ako muntik mamatay ngayon?
Athos : There will be a swept out on the highway anytime from now.
Natalie : Anong swept out?
Athos : Multiple vehicular accidents.
Natalie : WHAT?
Natalie : Pano si Eunice? Umuwi siya! Is she in danger?
Athos : No. She's not going home. She's going somewhere else with a guy.
Natalie : 😐
Natalie : Ako? Pano ko? Oras ko na?
Athos : No.
Athos : But since it's a swept out by accident, death won't be distinguishing between the innocent and the dying.
Athos : Given your situation, it could come for you, too.
Natalie : That's absurd! You can prevent the whole accident from happening!
Natalie : Ikaw si death!
Athos : That one's not on me.
Natalie : What do you mean?
Natalie : What do you mean that it's not on you?
Athos : I know that an accident is going to happen, and this chance to talk to you proves that death will come here. But I cannot prevent it. Accidents happen by random.
Natalie : You're going to let people die? Aren't you being contradictory? You're saving me!
Athos : I told you, dumb human, the accident is not on me.
Natalie : Ikaw si death pero hindi sayo?
Natalie : Kanino?
Athos : Kay Rotius.
Natalie : Rotius? Sino yun?
Athos : The deity for accidental deaths.
Natalie : WHAT?
Natalie : There are more of you?
Athos : Should I be the only one?
Athos : Alam mo ba kung gaano karaming tao ang namamatay araw-araw?
Natalie : This Rotius... alam niya kung kailan yung accident? Baka pwede mong itanong?
Athos : It's not that simple.
Athos : Rotius knows the probabilities of accidents happening and he's the first to know when the string of that fate moves, but he can't tell us.
Natalie : Why?
Athos : We can't meet. Death gods rarely meet.
Natalie : Haaaaaaa?
Athos : If Rotius and I meet before an accident, then innocent souls who will get involved will lose their chance to survive.
Natalie : Wait. What?
Athos : It will be sealed by their karma. I'll cause their death.
Natalie : Anong klaseng death ka ba?
Athos : I collect souls with karmic death.
Natalie : Wait.
Natalie : Death by karma?
Athos : Yes.
Natalie : You're hanging around me because..?
Athos : Nakalimutan mo na ba kung anong kasalanan ang ginawa mo last year, Natalie?
Athos : Your sin connected me to you.
...
Natalie : Why does it seem like Rotius is connected to me, too?
Athos : Your sin made you vulnerable to all kinds of death.
Natalie : Okay, given. Pero bakit alam mo exactly yung mangyayari sa metal bar? Accident yun, di ba? Si Rotius dapat ang may alam!
Athos : That metal trap was prepared by a psycho for anyone passing by. The wire snapping overlapped with your fate. It wasn't there by accident.
Natalie : Yung sa nightmares?
Athos : It was untimely. It wasn't designed for you.
Natalie : And you're protecting me because?
Athos : I cannot answer that right now.
...
Athos : It is happening. Souls are screaming to be saved.
Natalie : May ambulansiya nga... I can hear it.
Athos : Since the accident happened this early, you just have to stay here until midnight.
Athos : I need to guide the ones who are for me.
Athos : Don't be dumb thinking about unnecessary things.
Athos : Only worry when you see my name.
Athos : But be relieved, too, because I won't let other deaths touch you.
Natalie : Okay.
Athos : I told you not to think about it. I can hear you thinking about it. Stupid.
Natalie : Sorry.
Natalie : But why are you really saving me?
Natalie : Athos?
Natalie : You're gone?
Natalie : Hay.
