LORELEI
I WAS not a fan of basketball, but I watched some games in my previous high school. I could still remember that suspenseful feeling kapag three seconds na lang ang natitira sa shot clock, lamang ng isang point ang kalaban, at hawak ng player n'yo ang bola. If he shoots the ball before the timer runs out and it enters the basket, panalo ang inyong team. Kapag itinira man ang bola pero hindi pumasok sa basket, your opponents win.
Bakit biglang napasok sa gano'ng senaryo ng basketball game ang usapan? Because that's exactly what I'm feeling right now! We may not be dribbling balls here, but the suspense was killing me. Kung ako ang player, hawak ko ngayon ang bola at nasa three-point line na ako. Isu-shoot ko na lang ito. Ang tanong ay kung papasok ba o hindi.
Everyone's looking at me. The pressure was building up.
I thought that the hardest decision for me to make in this game was when to use the vaccine ability, aside from choose who to lynch. Hindi ko in-expect na meron pa palang mas hihirap doon. I'm not only choosing between two players. I'm choosing between two friends. And my choice would decide whether we win or lose.
It's fairly obvious na ako ang tanging confirmed na Healthy player sa aming tatlo. Jamie and Alistair knew that very well too. Alam naming isa sa kanilang dalawa ang Infected at dapat nang matanggal sa laro. I expect Jamie to accuse Alistair, unless she lost her mind completely and wanted to vote for me instead. Alistair would do the same to her.
With them casting one vote at each other, the decision on who to lynch would be left solely to me. Kung sinuman ang iboboto ko, paniguradong matatanggal na. Ang tanong ay kung tama ba ang taong pipiliin ko.
Kung pwede sana akong mag-abstain gaya ng ginawa ni Alistair kanina... Kaso hindi pwede. Kapag walang natanggal sa amin sa lynching na 'to, we would proceed to the last night phase. The Infected would eliminate one of us, and it's a game over already. Pantay na ang bilang ng Healthy player at ng Infected.
I had to make a wise decision. Kailangang maging unbiased ako. Walang kaibi-kaibigan muna. The victory of our team lies on me. I can't mess this up.
"Guys, your clock is ticking," paalala sa amin ni Sir Jim. Ilang segundo na kasi kaming nagtitinginan magmula nang sabihin niyang may five minutes kami para magdebate.
Who's gonna fire the first shot?
"We all know that Lorelei is the legit Healthy player here," Jamie spoke first, motioning to me. "Ako naman ang isa pang legit na Healthy player. So kung hindi ako at hindi si Lori my best buddy ang kalaban, sino pa bang natitira? Basic process of elimination: Alistair. We should already lynch him, Lori. 'Yon lang ang tanging paraan upang manalo tayo at maipaghiganti ko si Loki dear!"
