"Nag-iisip pa ba kayo?!" Anton

"Nakokonsensya na ako, antagal na niyang nasa coma Anton" Tots

"Tots' right, my conscience is killing me"

"Ngayon pang mag-iisang taon na siyang nasa coma?" Anton

"Kasalanan lahat 'to ni Kiefer" Tots

"His family's business is going well naman kase, he doesn't need to get envy about Nico's success in business"

Anton chuckles

"Wala ka palang alam noh?" Anton

"About what?"

"Bei, hindi yun tungkol sa business kaya nagawa ni Kiefer mang setup ng accident" Tots

"Eh ano?"

"Nico's girlfriend, gusto ni Kiefer yung shota ni Nico" Anton

"All this time you've been hiding that from me?"

"Ngayong alam mo na, magsasalita ka pa ba?" Anton

"Kiefer and Nico are best friends, tapos nasira lang yun just because of Kiefer's desire?"

"Mismo" Tots

"But it doesn't change the fact that we are criminals"

"Buti alam mo, ikaw nga may pinaka malaking kasalanan eh" Anton

Flashback

"Bei bigay mo 'to sa lalakeng yun, yun oh. Kita mo yung naka white? Ayun siya" Kiefer with his drunken voice

May binigay siya saking shot glass na may lamang liquor

"What drink is this?"

"Basta masarap yan" Kiefer

"How am I supposed to give this? He doesn't even know me"

"Challenge him, basta kaya mo na yan. Yan yung dare ko sa'yo, isipin mo nalang that this is for Maddie" Kiefer

I sighed "ok ok"

"Boys tara na" Kiefer to Tots and Anton

"Gago sisirain talaga natin yung brake?" Anton

Present

"You took advantage of my drunkenness and my misunderstanding with Maddie, I didn't know the drink was drugged"

"Ayan puro ka kasi Maddie, ano ngayon iniwan ka" Anton

"Anton that's too much" Tots

"Totoo naman eh, tapos ikaw ngayon yung sumalo sa —"

"Anton stop!" Tots

"Ah wag na pala kawawa ka naman pag nalaman mo" Anton

"What is it?!"

"Bei i-it's about you, ikaw yung sumalo sa kasalanan ni Kiefer. He's freely living abroad, habang ikaw, tayo yung kawawa dito" Tots

"Are you telling me the truth?"

"Just trust me" Tots
