“Sir, bakit ba kayo nagpapakalasing? May problema ba sa kumpanya nang hindi ko alam?” “No, Secretary Rome. It’s about my adopted daughter.” “Si Lorelei? What happened to her, sir?” “I can’t face her anymore. I can’t even look her in the eyes. I feel guilty for what I’ve done.” “What do you mean, sir? Why do you feel guilty? May ginawa ba kayo sa kaniya?” “I think… I fell in love with her. I shouldn’t. I know that. But I can’t stop. It’s like poison in my veins—wrong, toxic, consuming me from the inside out. I fight it, but the more I do, the stronger it gets.”
