P.O.V - STEPHANIE

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0Lj9nS7WP

Hindi ko alam kung ilang minuto kaming nakatitig sa cellphone.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdARjtiPUa

Paulit-ulit naming pinakinggan ang recording.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM18uzntMWQ

"You shouldn't have come here."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOtkYKeODk

Boses ni Clifford.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPsNh9jPKt

Walang duda.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSxpcLN7Pi

Pero kulang.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TuWvgD5HR

Kulang para malaman kung ano talaga ang nangyari kay Sean.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1edFyrVeir

At higit sa lahat-

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw5ouZXpdS

kulang para malaman kung bakit nandun si Clifford.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VPMiOvTi4

"We need to ask him."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLDKpL1J8T

Napatingin ako kay Ate.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZySFMpHm9c

"Now?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDQZgupyXz

Tumango ako.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbgob7YF7K

"Now."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrS3N9tw4U

THE LIVING ROOM

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3hk3HrCCI

Nakita namin si Clifford sa sala.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrrn0gA0JG

Mag-isa.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWLFazbBNe

May hawak na libro habang nakaupo sa sofa.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0QeBqu5hU

Nang makita niya kami-

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa0rK6etUT

ngumiti siya.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xXnCmdXSD

"Shairah."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpDtB7VA1z

Hindi siya pinansin ni Ate.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvTWfBhKXn

"Where were you on October 19?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZv9aCSBBW

Nawala ang ngiti niya.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVVI7enRlp

"What?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlypbAso70

"Answer me."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztOirsXAAY

Tumayo siya.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8fYQu3yaY

"Why are you asking?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZYOb0gC2S

"Because I want to know."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8jym3KfT9

Tahimik siya sandali.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1zVDSLVQD

"I was in my room."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboeniY53Nd

Mabilis.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLWM1DqTfo

Walang pag-aalinlangan.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFZ4WJkbYL

Napatingin ako kay Ate.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTttaHfcCe

"All night?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB9uB3h4uC

"Yes."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aVkTobvC2

"You didn't go downstairs?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMABmGopsm

"No."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQO2d5UVzY

"You didn't go near the storage room?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXIdq9bjjh

Bahagya siyang natahimik.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEvdx8SAeP

Isang segundo.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGSsZPawZC

Pero sapat na.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwvlZuzzbB

"No."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4fl3Xq6gl

Tumango ako.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHJOG7p5Oi

"Okay."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGTvMC0ZtK

Lumabas ako ng cellphone.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16T1vKNUB5

Pinindot ko ang recording.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkQX6Wsmx5

"You shouldn't have come here."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznETZv3etJ

Nawala ang kulay sa mukha niya.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnZhn0OStz

Tahimik.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJDbnnvNWv

"Who recorded that?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4GFQ3DtbJ

"Kuya Stellan."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnEuOe2P8h

Hindi siya sumagot.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum3pv6zpls

"You said you were in your room."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppev3ZNU3Q

"I was."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzMT6c7Xx4

"Then why are you in his recording?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WDsg9OggD

"That's not me."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSLFIvBuob

Napatawa ako nang mahina.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22ij8t07OI

"Really?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgmBnO8ZGJ

Tumingin siya sa akin.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrt7CsGbQW

"You can recognize my voice?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbb4PNoNlj

"We grew up together."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbx4vImagf

"That doesn't prove anything."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OO5Ugq8K1

Lumapit si Ate.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB1QXjB5PX

"Then tell us the truth."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9v1oTYhKA

"I already did."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sz2YnYofM

"No."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaldo00DeB

Malamig ang boses niya.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3Nkkmtacm

"You told us a lie."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvYm8icDJb

CLIFFORD'S P.O.V

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMr1U74Jqw

Hindi nila dapat nahanap ang recording.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPpshwJ9dN

Hindi pa.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Adn1S28HT

Hindi ngayon.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgByrT94LwF

Pero kailangan kong manatiling kalmado.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61DvHdCSyQ

"You're making a mistake."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79QFOUCKc9

"Am I?" tanong ni Shairah.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2a3M7c0Y7

"Yes."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ116OKGwDzd

"Then why are you shaking?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN5fBcgX9t

Napatingin ako sa kamay ko.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzyOG1r8M7

Agad ko itong itinago sa bulsa.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyabQE0Ig7Y

"Because you're accusing me of something I didn't do."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSZAZgD4AX

"Sean's death?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OVNWYw3bP

"I didn't kill Sean."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQuwOuwNrk

Tahimik.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMZobFGhtd

"I never said you did."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eDikm6gof

Nanigas ako.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6B5fts0WS

Napatitig ako kay Shairah.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp1vSklaFP

Mali.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPr2BNo7VD

I said too much.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI1VWuH2Oz

P.O.V - STEPHANIE

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquXFBTfU4w

Napatingin ako kay Ate.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZEECvTiF5

Pareho naming narinig.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttWhP1gTEg

"We never said you killed Sean."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVELle0ZDo

Tahimik si Clifford.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPLlShtb9W

"So how did you know that's what we were asking?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ5k7CnCpe

Wala siyang sagot.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBL2mh84Kr

"Clifford."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jq80ZjzwS

Lumapit si Ate.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRbShNMgwO

"What happened that night?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QsBsM6Sqd

"Nothing."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOivhMXG5iv

"Liar."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQFo4RdQJo

"Shairah-"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7BHMx7hGx

"You were there."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIy5BVPbmr

"No."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6oVwlXGJ4

"We have the recording."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VpmxwxBsG

"The recording proves nothing."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAA6BwfyQs

"Then why were you afraid when you heard it?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o4HRgqSQC

Tahimik.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO9lgQunpw

At pagkatapos-

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXajnMqMeSv

tumawa siya.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuPKfypCm8

Mahina.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbheHZZZbx3

"You really think Stellan was innocent?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71Ic5ovNm2

Napatingin ako sa kanya.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wShJBo4Tq

"He was."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mTuK5eAr3

"You weren't there."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgFrPmcG3v

"Neither were you."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARRQfngzu4

Tumigil siya.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEmzsKcIkh

"Actually..."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaASvtENkIk

Napatingin siya sa amin.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHFGt9rqaY

"...I was."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisEkYEZ7MU

Nanlamig ako.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu7NAhXCAv

"I was there when Sean died."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jd173jrod

Tahimik.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlL7SkLMUq

"Then tell us what happened."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYTs3ch76V

Umiling siya.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Og16LkLb

"You wouldn't believe me."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDnldR6Pio

"Try us."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2xsZyYnoA

Huminga siya nang malalim.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXOHU74DRl

"Stellan and Sean were fighting."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXnV10CSo7

"About what?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetw04by2eN

"I don't know."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtevPhTsyXl

"Another lie."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqCoXq2SAp

"I saw Stellan holding the vase."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27pYfTqTdO

Napatingin ako sa kanya.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGmPncw8je

"Then what?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZugys77VnW

"Sean fell."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFKfwNY5Wj

Tahimik.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo3Oucq6eo

"And Stellan ran."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJqY0CgJWf

Napailing ako.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa7XIglB9P

"No."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f8WYYddDi

"That's what happened."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb5hx5fZ6B

"You're lying."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbdhXRgUuL

"How do you know?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnJgzmRrSM

Napahigpit ang hawak ko sa cellphone.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWE7X1KY8A

"Because Kuya would never leave Sean."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL62Mil7Ut

Clifford looked at me.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnLskawFOI

At sa unang pagkakataon-

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAnMK4waCr

nawala ang malamig niyang expression.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaBgsH6eH8

Parang may naalala siya.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5M2ztzAFe

"You really don't remember, do you?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNtraY4nV4

Nanlamig ako.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZBe1pRgOF

"Remember what?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraqEldSgdv

Hindi siya sumagot.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCQzsnHP5Y

Sa halip, tumingin siya kay Shairah.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDct4DJWCxy

"Ask your sister."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOL3Mde45m

Napakunot ang noo ni Ate.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbw5jr2Le6

"Ask her what?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkAJoNGb0O

"Why she was the last person who talked to Sean."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4SFg5Vx8W

Nawala ang ingay sa paligid.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBeaGjlEog

"What?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlto4GmYMFD

Tumalikod si Clifford.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3R7k7HasO

"Ask her."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteC8FYPbAT

"Clifford!"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1tnxLLaJk

Hindi siya lumingon.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nbld2fqTz

"Before you keep searching for the truth..."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflAfxwSqIw

Huminto siya sa may hagdan.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxUaGVjrUx

"...make sure you're ready for what you'll find."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡditjUM5dmJ

Umakyat siya.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl8UTOkLHj

Naiwan kaming dalawa.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnin3ywfNuG

Tahimik.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn36StbYxny

Hanggang sa tumingin ako kay Ate.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rnftg99Xm

"Ate..."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡait2orYDqd

Namumutla siya.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM9zHk4WjA

"What did he mean?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJlxsMmJ6z

Hindi siya sumagot.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHEqZnQOPq

At doon ko napansin-

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXtuwBuCpo

may luha sa mata niya.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlSAKjr3u6

"I remember talking to Sean."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFniOuRt2nm

Mahina ang boses niya.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYI05nSSZp

"But I don't remember what we talked about."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUysqwMc6B

Tumingin siya sa cellphone.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsbQ8p0Mcp

At bigla niyang sinabi:

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAZvzqy971

"Stephanie..."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwj7ZjQ3Il

"Hmm?"

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm0yOPf7VL

"I think Sean knew he was in danger."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjaMypro3x

Napatingin ako sa kanya.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR54hEQ9MuA

"And I think..."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZNAnZZfFp

Huminto siya.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBbmIxPHC7

"...he told me why."

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYOEvHaNqE

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX9hQwNNKI
