We need to protect the grains so they have something to eat, bahala nang wala kaming makain kaysa sapilitang patayin. That's why, one time, I closed my eyes to see if there is a light of hope but... I saw something. Something that can tell that I am unique, that I can go with the flow...let them flow, let them glow. Let the letters let me. "So what happens when you close your eyes, Synecdoche?" curious na tanong ng isang lalaki sa akin. Ang mga bughaw niyang mga mata ay nakatutok sa akin.

Nakatingin kami sa isa’t isa, parehong hindi alam kung paano i-express ang damdamin — pero ramdam sa mga mata namin ang lahat ng nakatago. Ang green-eyed possession ko, hindi na basta pangungusap lang — ito ay damdamin, pagkilos, at silent promise. Habang naglalakad siya papalapit sa window para tingnan ang city lights, nakita ko ang reflection namin sa glass — magkatabi, halos hawak ang isa’t isa, kahit wala pang lips na nagtagpo, ramdam ko ang spark na sa wakas ay pumapaso sa amin pareho.

Hanggang sa hinawakan niya na ang baba ko at dahan-dahan niyang inangat ang mukha ko. Biglang may tumulong luha mula sa aking mata. Pinunasan naman iyon, kaninang madilim niyang tingin ngayon ay parang lumambot ang kanyang mukha. "There. Just look at me, don't look to someone else. Just look at me and look me in the eyes. Only look into my eyes and focus on what it says." I did as he said, I looked into his eyes and analyzed what they were saying, which was nothing but sparkles. Those eyes are sparkling...

Her eyes widened in shock anticipating her fall. Luke could just let her be, he could have left her there, flat on her face on the solid ground, he could have ignored it and walked away, but the startle in her eyes and the sudden realization that she was about to tumble made Luke react instinctively, bigla niyang hinagip ang beywang nito and wrapped her around his arms.

He squinted, “how come her eyes seem different?” he thought but immediately forgot about it when his eyes went to Chloe’s lips, her charm worked like a spell, making him drawn to her, as if in a trance, Luke found himself leaning in and kissing her softly, unable to resist his desire.

Nagtagpo ang aming mga paningin. Ilang segundo kaming nanatiling ganoon—walang kumikibo, walang nagsasalita, ngunit ang bawat titig ay puno ng mga salitang hindi mabigkas. Nakita ko ang pagkabalisa sa kanyang mukha, ang pagnanais na tumingin sa ibang direksyon ngunit parang may di-nakikitang tali na nagpapanatili sa kanyang tingin sa akin.

Huminga ako nang malalim at pinikit ang mga mata ko. Dalawang minuto lang ang lumipas nang muli kong imulat ang mga mata ko. Hindi pa naman ako inaantok. Gising na gising pa ang diwa ko. Nakatingin ako sa malabong ilaw sa taas habang napapaisip na lang sa nangyayari sa buhay ko. Bigla ko na lang naalala si lola. Gusto ko na siyang makita. Nasa sa'n kaya siya? Na kay Eljoe?

Sinundan ko ng tingin ang pigura niyang papalayo hanggang sa hindi ko na siya nakita. I stood there for a long time, staring at the horizon until the bruised violet of the sky turned into a suffocating black. The wind was getting colder, but it couldn't compare to the chill settling in my bones every time I thought of Lazarro’s eyes. Those freaking blue-grey eyes. I was alone. And in this family, being alone was a luxury I couldn't afford for long. Tinanaw ko ang liwanag ng rest house mula sa malayo. Guess, it was time to face the real monsters.

And as he gazed into her eyes, he reveled in the knowledge that she remained entrapped within the web he had spun. The seconds stretched, their gazes locked in a silent exchange that spoke volumes of their shared history. Legacy's eyes gleamed with a calculated intensity, his expression carefully calibrated to mirror the depths of sorrow he wished to convey.
