Matagal kaming tahimik. Ang tanging maririnig lang, ‘yung mahinang tunog ng aircon at tiktak ng orasan. I watched her struggle.

It’s about who stays silent longer. Finally, she exhaled, shoulders dropping slightly. “If I agree… you’ll help us?” “Yes.”

Noong binigyan siya nito ng totoong power. Noong naging isa na siyang taong kayang magdesisyon sa kapalaran ng iba sa corporate world gamit lang ang isang salita. Ang shortcut na power ay parang addictive poison. At unti-unti nitong nilason ang kaluluwa niya. Ang maruming baging na nakabaon sa puso niya ay nagsimulang gumapang paitaas. Gusto nitong makaahon mula sa putik ng kahirapan at desperasyon.

"Pity and affection like this won't bring you good!! Your position as being a great young leader might affect you kung awa ang paiiralin mo!" Walang katiting na mabuti sa ginagawa nila, ang pamamaraan ng pamumuhay nila wala nang kasing sama. Hindi naman siguro kabawasan kung haluan niya ng kahit papaanong... simpatya sa mga taong wala namang atraso at walang kinalaman sa mundo nila. And abusing the innocents will never brings power but more sins. Makasalanan na siya, ayaw na niya dagdagan pa.

“That will never change.” Napailing si Matteo, ngunit hindi nawala ang mapanuyang ngisi sa kanyang labi. “Exactly,” he sneered. “Dahil wala kang kapangyarihan, kaya hanggang Ate mo lang siya.” Lumingon siya, tumitig nang matalim, bago muling ngumisi. “Wade, tandaan mo ‘to—people without power are nothing. Walang halaga. Walang boses. Walang karapatan para mangarap.”

But I still sit, firmly. "I can see them," my voice echoed in this small laboratory room and I am exhausted dahil parang nag-iba ang tono ng boses ko. “I can see them,” I said it again to ensure and I bite my lips as I heard the same voice. "Who?" he asked while holding a pen and started writing something on a paper. Who? What. They are not people. "Words. Lots of words!" May diin ang pagkasabi ko nito. When I say Lots, I mean it—as much as the precious golds of power we have. The gold of helplessness. The power to be a slave.

Pinanuod ko siyang punasan ang mga luha niyang tumutulo na, impit pa siyang napahikbi at umalog-alog ang mga balikat niya sa pag-iyak. “Nakita na natin kung ano ang kaya nilang gawin at hindi sila mangingiming gawin din sa atin ang ganoong klase ng kamatayan kaya please...

"But why I can't feel anything?" Nagtatakang tanon ko rito. Syempre this is new to me at hindi ko talaga ito inasahan. "There are possibilities why. It could be, the ability that you have is still weak or you already have it a long time ago that's why you did not notice changes." Sagot naman nito.
