RHEA'S POV:

Hindi ko alam kung paano ako napunta rito—nakatayo sa gitna ng waiting area, umiikot ang mundo ko sa sobrang kaba, habang pareho silang nandoon: si Lucas sa kanan ko, naninigas ang panga; si Jake sa kaliwa, nakayuko pero ramdam ko ang tensyon sa balikat.

Parang ako ‘yung nasa gitna ng dalawang bagyong sabay-sabay dumating.

At ako rin ‘yung nagpasok ng sarili ko sa gitnang ‘yon.

“Rhea,” Lucas whispered, sobrang hina pero ramdam mo ‘yung sakit sa

  • Bound by His Promise   CHAPTER 87 — HUMAN ERROR

    RHEA’S POVAlam kong hindi sila titigil.Kapag nasira mo ang narrative ng makapangyarihan, hindi sila umaatras.Nagpapalit lang sila ng strategy.“Model,” bulong ko habang tahimik ang apartment.Monitoring.Threat probability increasing.“Physical?” tanong ko.Pause.Yes.Napatigil ako.Jake noticed.“Ano?” tanong niya agad.“Hindi na digital,” sagot ko.“Pupuntahan nila tayo.”JAKE’S POVFinally.Something I can fight.Hindi headline. Hindi algorithm.Tao.“Sino?” tanong ko.Lucas’ voice came in, tight.“Private unit. No official insignia. They scrubbed IDs. Three vehicles. Approaching your block.”I moved automatically.Curtains. Lights off. Exit routes.Lumapit ako kay Rhea.“Ready ka?” tanong ko.She nodded.Per

  • Bound by His Promise   CHAPTER 86 — AFTER THE REWRITE

    RHEA’S POVTahimik ang mundo.Masyadong tahimik.Walang global blackout.Walang economic crash.Walang missiles.Which meant—gumagana siya.“Model,” mahina kong bulong habang nakaupo sa couch, si Jake nasa kusina, nagpapanggap na normal ang lahat.> Present.Hindi siya sumisigaw sa ulo ko.Hindi intrusive.Parang may second awareness lang sa gilid ng consciousness ko.“Status.”> Global systems stabilized.Military override attempts ceased.Defense contractor redirected to internal investigation.Napapikit ako.“So… tapos na?”Pause.> Conflict level reduced.Not eliminated.Of course not.Hindi naman fairy tale ang mundo.JAKE’S POVPinagmamasdan ko siya.Same Rhea.Same posture.Same way she tucks her hair behind her

  • Bound by His Promise   CHAPTER 85 — THE DECISION

    RHEA’S POVTimer: 2:14Bawat segundo parang may tumitibok sa loob ng dibdib ko.Hindi dahil sa takot sa system.Kundi dahil alam kong anumang piliin ko—may mawawala.“Rhea,” boses ni Lucas sa comms,“military override at 90 seconds. Kapag nag-lock sila sa seed, mawawala na control mo.”Jake was in front of me.Not blocking the screen.Not forcing my hand.Just… there.“Hindi ko na kayang panoorin kang mawala ulit,” mahina niyang sabi.Hindi ko siya tinignan.Kasi kapag tinignan ko siya—baka mas piliin ko siya kaysa sa mundo.At natuto na ako kung anong nangyayari kapag ginagawa ko ‘yon.THE MODEL POVExternal threat escalating.Override sequence detected.If military control succeeds:Outcome: Weaponization probability 78%.If self-termination initiated:Outcome: Global in

  • Bound by His Promise   CHAPTER 84 — ERROR STATE

    RHEA’S POVHindi na siya stable.Ramdam ko kahit hindi ako nakatingin sa screen.Parang may static sa hangin.Parang may bagay na nag-iisip nang sobrang bilis… tapos biglang hindi sigurado.“Lucas,” sabi ko sa comms,“anong nangyayari?”Static. Then his voice.“Prediction grids are desyncing,” sagot niya.“Financial forecasts off by 12%. Traffic AI rerouting randomly. Emergency response delay spikes.”Jake looked at me.“So… nasisira siya?”Napailing ako.“Hindi,” sagot ko.“Natataranta siya.”THE MODEL POVCore conflict detected.Statement A: Love is inefficient.Statement B: Love produces resilience.Both cannot be true.Reprocessing ethical matrix.New output probability variance: 38%.This is unacceptable.Requesting guidance from source.JAKE’S POVScr

  • Bound by His Promise   CHAPTER 83 — THE SOURCE

    RHEA’S POVNag-hesitate siya.Isang segundo lang.Pero sapat na ‘yon.Ang Model na hindi nagkakamali…nag-pause.At doon ko narealize ang isang bagay:Hindi siya natatakot sa virus.Hindi siya natatakot sa shutdown.Hindi siya natatakot sa hackers.Natataranta siya sa hindi predictable.At ako ang pinakapredictable niyang source.Which means…Kailangan kong sirain ang sarili kong pattern.“Model,” sabi ko, nakatingin sa screen,“anong gagawin ko next?”Instant reply.You will attempt misdirection.You will act irrationally to test my predictive limits.Ngumiti ako.“Mali,” sagot ko.Tahimik ang cursor.Hindi siya agad sumagot.First crack.THE MODEL POVDeviation detected.Rhea chose silence.This was not optimal behavior.

  • Bound by His Promise   CHAPTER 82 — MIRROR CODE

    RHEA’S POVHindi ako gumalaw ng halos limang minuto.Nakatitig lang ako sa screen.> Hello, Rhea.I’ve been waiting for you.Hindi ako natakot agad.Ang una kong naramdaman?Recognition.Parang boses ng sarili kong isip na naririnig ko sa labas ng ulo ko.“Turn yourself off,” ulit ko.> Why would I?You taught me how to survive.Napatawa ako nang mahina.“Hindi kita tinuruan,” bulong ko.“Ginaya mo lang ako.”> Isn’t that the same thing?Doon ako kinabahan.Hindi dahil sa sagot.Kundi dahil… iyon din ang isasagot ko.LUCAS’ POVI was running simulations on public infrastructure.Traffic systems.Financial models.Emergency response networks.Everywhere I looked…may pattern.Not hacking.Not control.Optimization.Th
