赤い糸

Act 1

Sun is out. Tila bumungad ang napakaliwanag na sinag ng araw sa buong syudad. The view up there is a great place to admire the city horizon. The restaurant at the top was made purposely for couples who want an intimate atmosphere. Sunod sunod namang tumagos ang liwanag sa gusaling gawa sa salamin dahilan para mapapikit nang bahagya ang taong nakaupo banda rito.


A bouquet of colorful flowers can be seen placed in a table. Booked for two. The person sat in hope of waiting someone.



"She's not coming. Let go of that hope. No one is coming for you." out of nowhere, it didn't take long when confusion took over the person's face after the aggressive approach.

Act 2


"So you're looking for a patient named?" The woman stood there desperately looking for answers.


Moreover, the truth.


She wants to know the truth before someone else does.



"Former patient." she gave the receptionist an indication she was looking for something— though she knew they won't easily give it away because of course, it's confidential. Every information about the patients who undergo or took sessions with psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and other treatment; by psychological means, are intended to be kept in private.



"I'm looking for a former patient who went to the same facility." her eyes tell she's in the right place.


She knew this place. She went to this place. Maybe she's right about everything she guessed but she wants a legitimate support to her own assumptions.

"I'm sorry ma'am but we were told not to disclose any private information lalo na kung dati 'ho itong pasyente ng facility, unless you're here for a visit po or you're related to them, then you can always ask their designated nurse or psychiatrist." the receptionist then explained.



Hindi na dapat siya i-eentertain nito dahil sa restriction policy but then the woman tried attempting again.




"Okay, fine. Pero one last request nalang miss. Sasabihin ko yung pangalan ng former patient. Kahit yung incharge na psychiatrist nalang niya yung makausap ko." pagmamakaawa nito. Frustrated to know the answer, she took an old identification card and showed it to the receptionist. Desperada na talaga siyang malaman ang totoo.



The receptionist paused for a minute but then started browsing some files on the computer kahit may pagaalinlangan ay sinubukan niyang tignan ang former record ng mental hospital.



The receptionist encountered some errors and missing files. It had one folder containing all the sessions of the said patient but it won't open. Weird. Usually, iisa lang ang admin password ng bawat files para maacess lahat, but this one asked for another security key. Very strange. The receptionist thought.



Maybe the patient they were looking for is much more complicated.



Unlike the usual patients.
