"Uh–huh." "What does that mean?" "You just look like a teenager bragging about getting laid." "Fuck you." Tinuro ko ang sarili ko. "Can you blame me, though? Look at this face and this body." Binuka ko pa ang mga braso ko. "Hindi ko kasalanan they can't resist this." Napailing si Kael, nangingiti. "You're unbelievably full of yourself." "It's called confidence." "Nah, it's narcissism."
