It's been three days since I left the Zodiacs. Ayos na rin ang katawan ko unlike three days ago, while my biological mother gave me an anti-virus to delete the Candy Virus. She also explained what Candy Virus could do; it was a slow-acting and overwriting virus that she made to shaken Ophiuchus's security system. It will first enter the system like an unnoticeable malware until it is slowly overwriting the primary system. Ngunit hindi naming iyon naramdaman noon sa loob ng Danima but I think it was felt by Crystal.
The virus works like a Trojan virus; it will destroy the original program code after the infection. We are all sure that we erased Danima five years ago, but the fact that I could go back inside only means that we couldn't delete it. Or maybe we already deleted the Danima, and Hyazinth mirrored it just like what Shan said before.
"But how are you going to use that?" Mommy asked.
I frustratingly bit my nails, iyon ang isa pang iniisip ko. I have a clue who Hyazinth is, but I still don't know kung paano siya napunta sa taong 'yon.
"I don't know," I answered.
She suddenly put a glass of lemon juice in front and laughed, "What if may USB port pala sa pwetan 'yon?" She asked. Isang masamang tingin naman ang binigay ko sa kanya dahil hindi magandang pakinggang ang biro n'ya. Mabuti na lamng talaga ay hindi nagmana si Zeus sa kanya.
Speaking of Zeus, mabuti na lamang talaga dahil hindi n'ya ako pinariringgan kahit na naiwan ko 'yong motor n'ya at tanging susi lamang ang binigay ko. Nagkusang loob na rin s'yang kumuha dahil masyadon n'yang mahal na mahal iyon.
"Mommy, if you are a villain, what will you do?" I asked. Her almond eyes suddenly looked at me intently as she sat down across me.
"You are question is just like this 'if you are an assassin, what will you?' hindi ba dapat ay alam mo ang sagot sa tanong na 'yan, Scarlett?" Naging iba ang tono ng boses n'ya. Seryoso ito at tila pinahahayag sa akin na dapat hindi ko na tanungin ang isang tanong na madali lamang sagutin.
Pero magtatanong ba ako kung alam ko ang sagot? Tsk.
Sumilay sa mga labi n'ya ang isang nakakainis na ngisi. "Anong ginagawa mo noon tuwing poprotektahan mo si Hunter?"
"In terms of doing my job... palagi akong palihim na umaalis tuwing lunod sila sa requirements – usually tuwing gabi," I answered.
"And now, what is your busiest time of the day?"
"Morning to afternoon,"
She suddenly facepalmed, "Do you still don't get it?"
"Gets ko,"
Everyone is busy every morning because of work and school. Even if it's impossible, the right moment to attack is when your enemies are caught off-guard during the time you least expected them to attack.
Just like what happened to Raynald, hindi ko inaasahan na habang nagtatrabaho ako ay aatake si Hyazinth. It is still 5:00 A.M.maraming oras pa ang mayroon ako upang magplano.
"Do you like playing solo?" Nag angat ako sa kanya nang tingin, hindi ko rin maiwasan ang hindi mainis sa tanong niya.
Ginagawa ko naman ang lahat upang maging group player ako pero pakiramdam ko hindi talaga iyon para sa akin. I end up hurting people around. I'm not good at playing with others, para bang lahat ng kilos nila hindi ko maiwasan ang magduda.
"I failed to teach you how to trust other people. I'm sorry,"
"I'm fine," I mumbled. "But first I need to think like my old self – Hindi ko magagawang makaalis sa larong ito, hindi ko magagawang iligtas ang mga kaibigan ko kung hindi ako mag-iisip nang katulad noon.
