Matapos makaramdam ng pagkataranta, agad siyang namula. Travis, hamak ka! Sa ilalim ng tunog ng horror movie, ito ay talagang isang mahalay na pelikula!

A shadow lingered at her door. A whisper seeped through the bars: “You can’t save them, Sophie. You can’t even save yourself.” Her heart pounded. She pressed her back against the wall, clutching Xavi’s photo like a shield. The shadow moved away, leaving silence behind. Sophie stared at the note, her hands trembling. The cliff edge loomed—was the perpetrator about to destroy them all, one by one, until no truth remained?

Hiningi niya pa ang number ko kanina kung hindi rin naman pala siya magsasabi or tatawag!

Sa pagpasok namin, hindi ko mapigilan ang mapangiwi. Amoy alak ang sumalubong sa ilong ko. Masakit sa mata at nakakahilo ang disco lights.
