Death is the most mysterious thing that even the brightest minds can't figure out. No one really knows when they'll die or how, they just do. Bata pa lang ako, alam ko na kung paano ako mamamatay at hanggang ngayon hinihintay ko na lang na mangyari 'yun. Most of my childhood and teenage years were all about how am I going to kill myself, I did try to plunge a knife into my chest and let myself bleed to death but all I got was the pleasure of pain.

I've always known that I was born as a sacrifice for the greater good. No matter how everyone puts me on a pedestal or even gives me a headstart I was never destined to reach the goal, I was only part of the road to success.

"Okay ka lang ba, Ena?" Binigyan ko ng tipid na ngiti si Volos.

"Yeah."

"Bakit ka umiiyak?" Lahat sila nakatingin na sa akin ngayon, hinihintay ang isasagot ko kaya peke akong natawa at pilit na kinalimutan ang nasa isip ni Glade.

"Tanginang Roulette 'yan, isisi natin lahat sa Roulette." I tried to joke but I forgot that these men knew me too well they can even see through me.

"Glade," I faked a cough, "log them out, I'll follow after." Tumango si Glade pero bago niya sila i-log out ay linapitan ako ni Fuego.

"Bakit ka magpapaiwan? What do you know, Raed?" He looked so serious.

"Magpapaalam lang ako kay Aziel, baka hanapin niya tayo tapos aalis na lang tayo bigla?"

"Then we'll say goodbye to him too so we could all log out at the same time." I just shrugged my shoulders and said fine.

Glade gave us time before he logs us out and it was enough for us to say goodbye to Aziel who was waiting for us in the room close to our meeting room.

"Tito! Ena!" Lumiwanag ang mukha niya saka tumakbo papalapit nang makita kaming pumasok sa silid.

"Done na kayo po sa meeting niyo?" Tumango ako. Binalingan ko ang mga lalaki na nasa gilid ko at sinenyas na kausapin na nila si Aziel.

"You're leaving again?" Lumungkot ang mukha niya nang magpaalam si Volos.

"We have to. But we'll come back," tumingin sa akin si Aziel na parang binabasa niya ang nasa isip ko.

"Come back, okay?" Binalik niya ang tingin kay Volos saka siya yinakap ng mga tito niya.

"Logging out administrators Fuego, Aesir, and Volare," narinig namin ang boses ni Unimos.

"Wait, only us? Si Raed-" Fuego held his hand out to me but they were already logged out, leaving me and Aziel behind.

Pinilit kong hindi maiyak sa harap ni Aziel kaya ngumiti ako at hiningi ang kamay niya.

"Do you want to go to the animal tamers?" Binigay niya ang kamay niya pero tumingin siya sa akin na may pag-aalala.
