Bee is not able to sleep in that cold hospital room. It is past midnight and the only sound that lingers is Sarah's life support machine. She distracts herself while browsing through her laptop. In the different folders, were all her saved photos with Sarah. Videos capturing their moments together. She rapidly clicks on the mouse, trying to drown in memories.

Bee had to shut the laptop, closing her eyes. Getting into the maze in her brain, piecing after every memory.

Walang iwanan. I could not say 'I love you' so that was the only thing I could say. I meant it. I did not want this to end. I never want us to end. But no matter how we tried to fight it. My world was so different from yours. My world was harsh. Always at war. At collateral damage ka. Wala ako nagawa.

You are my greatest strength but also my greatest weakness, my most vulnerable point. And that—— that was what ruined us, Sarah. You became a weapon against me. Without you even knowing it.
Pero even with that —- with all of this, walang iwanan, Sarah.
Baby, please wake up.
