DIALOGUE/SCRIPT
INT. MONTE COAST TOWERS — NIGHT
Door opens.
GINNY
Santi.
GINNY
You're... not coming inside?
SANTI
Yeah. Saglit ka lang naman, 'di ba?
GINNY
Yup. But baka lamigin ka rito sa hallways?
GINNY
(smiles)
Halika na. I think paulan na, oh.
Baka mabasa ka pa here. Lapit natin sa window ng hallways.
GINNY
Enter ka na. Sabi mo, you haven't been here for quite some time na.
SANTI
Okay.
SANTI
Just tell me.
SANTI
If may need ka ibaba.
SANTI
Ako na magbubuhat.
GINNY

Silence envelopes the air.
SANTI

SANTI
I don't want anyone touching your things.
Their eyes refuse to meet each other as they stand there, idly, beside the bed.
Ginny heaves a sigh.
