“Nandito na ba si Andrew?” Pagtatanong ni Karl ng makarating ito sa club room. “Di ba sya nagsabi sayo?” Pagtatanong naman ni Sam na nagpapalit ng t-shirt.

Black and white symbolize a lot of things in life. Black represents evil, darkness, night, and despair. It's the color used to convey certainty and authority, and when used in opposition with white, it's a symbol of the eternal struggle between day and night, good and evil, and right and wrong.
