(Special Scene)

Short P.O.V

Miles kept pulling me hard, nearly making me stumble because of his strength. After a while, we stopped in a quiet and secluded place.

"Ano ba kasi ang kailangan mo?" tinaasan ko na siya ng kilay, naiinis na ako dahil hindi niya sinasagot ang mga katanungan ko! I don't feel well and I badly needed to take a shower, he sighed before looking at me.

"It's about this bracelet." pinakita niya sa'kin 'yung bracelet. 'Yung bracelet na binigay sa kanya ni Athena bago pa ito mamatay. I've witnessed it all. But, what about it? Why am I involved with this?

"It's been a week, bakit hindi mo pa 'yan nabigay?" I asked till I realized something. "Wait, why am I involved with this?" he sighed, casting an intense gaze upon me. In response, I met his eyes with a scrutinizing expression.

"You, killed her." nabigla ako sa sinabi kaya't napaatras.

"What do you mean?" naguguluhang tanong ko at humakbang siya papalapit sa'kin.

"Your opponent was Aliyah, Athena's sister, now what do I do if she's gone?" parang binuhusan ako ng malamig na tubig, but my expression changes as soon as I realized something. Was he trying to blame me?

"Wait hold on," I put my right hand on my waist looking at him in disbelief. "Don't place the blame on me, kasalanan mo 'yan kung bakit hindi mo kaagad nabigay 'yung bracelet." I straightforwardly told him.

I was certain that it's not my fault. No one is at fault! Even if my opponent killed me, I would never want anyone to blame her! We are all left with no options.

He came closer to where I'm standing, "Look. I'm not blaming you, okey? I just wanted to know if she's really gone dahil hindi ko alam kung ano na ang maaari kong gawin kapag wala na siya."

"Bakit?" what's his point really?

Pinakita niya sa'kin ang bracelet. He puzzled and formed it into something tiyaka nilock niya ito bago hinarap sa'kin, doon ko lang nalaman na ang magnetic metal bracelet na 'yan ay isang susi. Kinuha ko kaagad iyon sa kanya bago sinuri ang susi na nasa aking kamay.

"I actually once gave it to her but she refused to take it. Ngayon ko lang nalaman na susi pala 'yan. It was my chance to ask her but I wouldn't be able to know now that she's gone." I bit the insides of my lips.

"I couldn't do anything about it. I'm sorry, you're too late." saad ko at napatingin siya sa'kin nang seryoso.

"I know, and you shouldn't be sorry." 

"What do you think this key is all about?" he let out a small sigh, shrugged, and ran his fingers through his red hair, which occasionally covered his eyes.

"I don't know." he answered again.

"Does she have friends you know?" kumuha ako ng bubble gum sa aking bulsa.

"She doesn't make any friends, it's hopeless to know what's behind that key you're holding. Pero, naalala ko 'yung huling sinabi niya sa'kin."

"What has she told you?" I was about to eat the last piece of my gum when he suddenly took it away from me, the nerve! He ate my last gum right in front of my eyes.

He licked his lips before uttering a word. "You open that cage." napalunok ako dahil ang lapit niya,  I gently pushed him away.

"You ate my last piece of gum." I grumbled in annoyance. He just chuckled and casually plucked something from my face, it turned out to be a stray piece of gum, he looked at it right after looking at me in a teasing way.
