CHAPTER 13 – “Cross-Examined Hearts.”4:16 PM — Litigation Division Dalawang oras na lang bago mag-end of day pero parang ni isa sa kanila sa litigation team ay hindi pa rin humihinto sa pagta-type. The sound of keyboard clacks had become the department's default soundtrack, na para bang ang silence ay mas nakakakaba kesa deadline.Sa gitna ng lahat, si Cesca ay tila immune na. Naka-postura pa rin sa ergonomic chair, mabilis mag-scroll sa email habang nakikipag-chat kay Rica sa Slack tungkol sa revisions ng affidavit draft ni Atty. Inoue. Pero pansin mo 'yung subtle twitch sa dulo ng labi niya—like someone suppressing either a sigh or a smirk.Wala na sa kanya ang issue kahapon. She'd survived HR. Viral ka man o hindi, pleadings won’t sign themselves.Pero hindi niya maiwasang mapalingon sa glass wall ng opisina ni Seiichi. As usual, nakayuko ito sa harap ng monitor, sharp jawline outlined by the late afternoon light, and signature resting-deadpan-face na hindi mo ma-decipher kung ga

CHAPTER 12 – “HR? What's That?” 9:36 AM Wednesday Typical mid-week chaos. Sa 28th floor, back-to-back hearings, document deadlines, and coffee-fueled legal debates were already in full swing. Lahat ng associate mukhang nasa middle ng caffeine-fueled panic, habang ang mga interns ay nasa loob ng pantry, trying to act busy habang nagpi-Facebook o nagti-TikTok break in between errands.Cesca, on the other hand, was walking briskly along the hallway from the litigation division papuntang records office. Bitbit niya ang stack ng mga pleadings na kailangan ng signature ni Atty. Inoue.She was multitasking as usual—nagbabasa ng header habang naglalakad, hindi namamalayang medyo mabilis ang kilos. At tulad ng isang eksenang paboritong-paborito ng universe sa mga romcom clichés—nadulas siya.Saktong pa-liko sa hallway, isang maliit na tapon ng tubig mula sa cleaning cart ang ‘di niya napansin. Her heels slid."Ay!" she shrieked, folders flying from her hands.But bago pa siya tumama sa sahig

CHAPTER 11 – Elevator Confessions Kawashima-Inoue Law Firm, BGC – Tuesday, 6:18 PMA typical Tuesday rush. Most of the offices on the 28th floor were dimming their lights. Associates were packing their briefcases, interns were rushing to send last-minute emails, and the coffee machine had finally taken its last whirr for the day.Pero hindi pa pauwi si Cesca.Nasa file room siya, hinahanap ang isang hard copy ng affidavit revision para sa isang pro bono case na kailangan ng updated notarization. Habang nagmamadaling binubuklat ang folder, napansin niyang 6:15 na sa phone niya.“Shoot,” mahina niyang bulong. “Last elevator down in five.”Nagmadali siya, bitbit ang folder, at lumabas ng file room, halos mabangga ang isang janitor na naglalampaso ng hallway.Pagdating niya sa elevator lobby, sakto lang ang timing. Bumukas ang pinto, at laking gulat niya nang makitang nandoon si Seiichi.Si Boss Presinto. Naka-coat pa rin, loosened ang tie, mukhang bagong tapos sa huling meeting. May hawa

CHAPTER 10 –“ Legalese and Lies.”Lunes ng umaga, at mas mabilis pa sa print queue ng coffee machine ang pagkalat ng tsismis.“Cesca,” tawag ni Joanna habang nakapila sa microwave, sabay pakita ng phone. “Ikaw ba ‘to?”Nilingon siya ni Cesca at tumapat sa screen. Facebóok. Isang post mula sa college friend niya, naka-tag siya sa litrato. Doon, nakaupo siya sa milk tea shop kasama si Emman—nakangiti, naka-grey hoodie, relaxed. Sa caption nakasaad na, “Reunited after years! Thank you for catching up, Cesca!”Public ang post, walang filter, walang warning. At ngayon, naging munting headline sa maliit na social universe ng law firm nila.“Uy, soft launch?” biro ni Mico habang ngumunguya ng ensaymada. “Ngumiti ka, ‘te. Iba ‘yan sa ‘I-will-end-you’ look mo kapag may na-delay na transcript.”“Confirmed. May lalaki sa frame. At cute pa,” dagdag ni Trina na halos mabilaukan sa kilig. “Nagkabalikan kayo ni Emman?”“Emman? As in ‘the childhood friend’ na akala naming hindi nag-e-exist?” singit n

CHAPTER 10 – “Team No Choice.”‘Yun ang bagong tawag ni Rica sa tandem nila ni Seiichi. At kahit ayaw ni Cesca aminin, medyo accurate.Kasi totoo naman—wala siyang choice.Pag-upo niya sa workstation, may bagong sticky note na nakakabit sa screen ng laptop niya. Yellow this time. Pamilyar ang sulat.“Room 5. 9:30AM. Bring your spine. — SK”“Bring your spine?” bulong niya sa sarili. “Ano ‘to, medical mission?”“Ay, nakita mo na ‘yung love note?” singit ni Rica, sumisipsip ng kape habang lumalapit.“Hindi siya love note. And why does he always write like he’s preparing me for war?”“Because you are in war, bes. But in fairness, ha. Iba ang tension ninyong dalawa lately. Professional enemies with... unresolved eye contact.”"Rica, please. It's just a case.”“Exactly. Just a case daw o. As if hindi kayo pinagsama ni fate—at ng pro bono committee.”---Pagpasok ni Cesca sa conference room, naroon na si Seiichi. Naka-dark gray dress shirt, sleeves rolled up, eyes fixed sa tablet. Serious f

CHAPTER 9 – Allergic to Feelings Kawashima-Inoue Law Firm, BGC – Tuesday, 8:42 PM Tahimik na ang karamihan sa floor. Sa hallway, may iilang cleaning staff na lang na naglalakad, bitbit ang mop at cart habang may soft jazz na nagpe-play mula sa speaker ng guard station. Pero sa corner office, may iisang ilaw pa rin na bukas. Cesca walked quietly, hawak ang folder na kailangang i-print para sa affidavit revision ni Atty. Rica. Hindi na ito part ng trabaho niya—overtime na naman—but she was used to it. Minsan, pakiramdam niya, mas maraming oras pa siya sa opisina kaysa sa mismong apartment niya sa Pasay. Nadaanan niya ang opisina ni Atty. Seiichi Kawashima. Glass walls. Dim lights. Ang silhouette ni Boss Presinto ay bahagyang nakayuko sa desk, concentrated sa screen habang nakapatong ang isang kamay sa gilid ng templo niya. He looked... drained. Pero hindi ‘yung tipong wasak. More like... contained exhaustion. Alam niyang hindi niya dapat pansinin. Pero for some reason, tumigil
