Matanda na si Rex at kailangan niya ng taong magbibigay sa kanya ng kaligayahan at katahimikan.

"Parang binubuksan ng isipan mo ang mga bagay na hindi mo pa kayang harapin... Though it can be overwhelming, but it's part of your healing journey. You've been through a lot before bringing Adino in this world. At mas lalong lumala no'ng pinanganak mo na siya. Hearing and imagining about carrying a child again brought up all those old emotions. But it's normal to feel scared, hija. It's okay to feel triggered, lalo na kung hindi ka pa masyadong nakakabangon mula sa nakaraan." Humigpit ang hawak ni Brent sa kamay ko.

Like I had stepped out of my own life. I hadn’t come back since. Healing isn’t what people imagine. It’s not soft or inspiring. It’s brutal. Isolating. Messy. When you live with PTSD, psychosis, or schizophrenia, healing means facing everything that broke you while also doubting your ability to get through it.
