Days, months, years, decades, or even centuries have passed. Nananatili parin ang mga ala alang masasakit na pilit na kinakalimutan. Past tragedy that led us to misconceptions, which caused us to separate. Dahil doon, naisipan kong lumayo at kalimutan kung sino ako at ano ang mga kaya kong gawin. ‎ ‎Napag isipan kong manatili sa isang mundo na malayo sa aking pinagmulan na kung tawagin ay earth o mundo ng mga tao. When I arrived there, I used my remaining powers to seal my presence, so they won't be able to find me. The moment I landed there, I immediately asked myself, is this really the right thing to do? To run and forget the past? Imbis na ayusin ang mga pagkakamali noon ay mas pinili kong iwanan ito at kalimutan? ‎ ‎But she immediately put it out of her mind and just focused on the new life she had chosen. Lumipas ang maraming taon. Naging tahimik ang kaniyang pamumuhay, malayo sa buhay na nakasanayan niya noon. Natutunan niya ang kung paano mabuhay gaya ng mga tao, kumikita siya sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang pagtatrabaho sa isang kompanya. ‎ ‎Things were normal. Until one day, I felt the familiar feeling that I had run away from and forget because of the pain it caused. Magagawa ko parin kaya itong takasan gaya noon o mas pipiliin kong harapin na lamang ito kasama siya. ‎ Hahayaan na naman ba ni irene na maulit ang nangyari noon? Tatapusin kaya ni irene ang labang sinimulan nila o muli niya itong iiwan gaya ng dati? S.P.(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)
