Nagulat ako nang yakapin niya ako. "Xerene?" "Bakit?" "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for hurting your feelings. Sorry sa pagiging manhid. I'm so sorry for everything. And I'm sorry for saying this, I really just see you as a great friend. You're so kind, Xerene. Please, don't let your heart be in pain anymore. You deserve someone better than me. Someone that can love you back. Someone that will understand you the way we do to you. Someone that will accept you despite of your condition and imperfections. Someone, na kayang suklian ang pagmamahal mo na hindi ko nagawa noon. Forgive me for everything, Xerene. Sorry for not being your man."

Hindi niya maunawaan kung bakit mas masasaktan ang tao kapag sinabihan ito ng ‘sorry’. “Stefan heard the word “sorry” a lot after the accident. “We’re sorry, but they died on the spot,” “We’ve already done our best, but he didn’t make it.” “I’m sorry,” “I’m sorry, Stefan,” “I’m sorry for your loss,” and so on. The more he hears those words, he feels as if he’s going insane if he keeps hearing those words over and over. Stefan is traumatized as a result of it,” pagsisiwalat ni Doña Divina. “That is why he stated that Salvatore never apologizes. That word hurts him far too much.”

Pero hindi ko na magawang maawa ng sobra sa kanya. I offered her some medicine, a small gesture of compassion that felt both strange and necessary. Dinalhan ko rin s'ya ng ilang mga damit, pagkain, at mga bagay na posible n'ya pang kailanganin. It was a strange mix of emotions—pity, anger, resentment, and a lingering sense of responsibility. She looked at me, her eyes filled with a mixture of fear and desperation. Maybe, she thought she could manipulate me, use my compassion against me.

"I'm sorry but... I have already seen the news. I'm sorry for what has just happened." Napakagat labi ako. Ito na nga ba ang sinasabi ko. I don't want anyone--- anyone to have pity on me. S alahat ay iyon ang pinaka iniiwasan kong mangyari. "You don't have to feel sorry about me, CJ---"

Kinagat niya ang ibabang labi, pilit pinipigilan ang hikbi, pero nanginginig na ang buong katawan niya—parang sa isang iglap, gumuho ang mundo niya. Seeing her so fragile and broken, Damion felt a piercing ache in his chest. He opened his mouth, wanting to comfort her, yet no words came out. Pinunasan ni Cassidy ang kanyang luha, nanginginig pa rin at namamaos ang boses nang magsalita, “Damion, I don’t blame you…” huminga siya ng malalim para pakalmahin ang boses. “After all, I was in a coma for three years. Walang makakapagsabi kung kailan ako magigising. And during those years, wala ako sa tabi mo kaya naiintindihan ko kung mahuhulog ka man sa… iba.”

Kusang gumalaw ang kamay ko pahaplos sa mukha niya na para bang may sarili itong isip. "Good morning..." mahinang bulong ko at hindi maitago ang sayang nararamdaman. Ito na yata ang pinakamasayang pakiramdam na nagising ako sa umaga. I never felt this gushing ecstasy before, even Ken and I got into a relationship, even though he already proposed. It's just simple happiness. Unlike today that... I could not explain this feeling of compassion for him. Walang katapusan. Papalit-palit pero hindi tumitigil.

diretso ang titig sa mga mata kong sabi niya. Malungkot akong napangiti. "Salamat kung ganoon, sana balang araw mahanap mo ang makakapagpasaya sayo. You are having second thoughts, means your conscience is eating you. I guess you’re not that bad, you’ve been hurt so I think it’s okay for you to feel that way. Alam kong mahirap sa ngayon pero sana mapatawad mo sila. Sometimes we need to forgive someone even without an apology." sabi ko at tinalikuran na siya.
