Subject 0024:
(I met the representative when I went to Amara's Coffee Shop.)
(That would be in two hours... one hundred and twenty minutes...)
(What was I doing during that two hours?)
[remembers his heinous act]
(Why am I realizing that I'm an evil purpose, myself?)
(I went to the apartment of the woman who couldn't pay her debts...)
(I made her my s*x slave...)
[feels deep remorse and guilt]
(I won't allow the same mistake to happen again...)
(I'll just let her keep the money...)
(Seriously... I'm that kind of bastard huh?)
(Anyway, I need to go to her apartment...)
(...and tell her that she no longer needs to pay her debts.)
[hears repeated clicks from somewhere]
Subject 0024:
[suddenly turns around getting paranoid of the sound]
(Am I shifting away from whatever reality this is?)
[closes eyes]
(Please don't let me out yet...)
[repeated clicks disappears]
Subject 0024:
[sighs] "Thank goodness..."
[hand suddenly taps his back]
Subject 0024:
[freezes in fear]
[makes a swallowing sound]
"Y...Yes... what do you want?"
[turns around slowly]
[sighs in relief]
Beggar:
"Spare me a bit of your change..."
Subject 0024:
[reaches through his pocket]
[offers a few coins]
"Please don't scare me like that..."
"You were inches away from getting punched..."
Beggar:
[feels thankful] "Thank you..."
"May the gods bless you... dear child."
[leaves in silence]
Subject 0024:
[goes to the apartment place]
[checks for the building number]
(I remember it's number eleven)
[asks an old lady passing by]
"Where is Apartment Eleven?"
Old Lady:
[chuckles] "It's on the Eleventh Street silly child..."
"Seriously... you should get a map..."
Subject 0024:
[smacks himself in the head]
"What am I thinking?"
"I had a map!"
(But I'm sure I knew where to go back then...)
(Is there something happening to my head?)
(Or am I just getting my memory juggled up?)
(Maybe that or... this world is also unreal...)
(No... if I carefully retrace my steps... I'm just confused...)
[continues to head to Eleventh Street]
[he is on Tenth Street]
[phone ringing]
[missed call]
[one new message received]
Subject 0024:
(It's from my female neighbor...)
[checks the message while walking to the next street]
[reads the message]
(So I left my clothes hanging in the sun the entire afternoon, huh?)
(Oh yeah... it would be rainy starting tomorrow, right?)
(I'll reply her with thanks...)
[sends reply message]
[arrives at Apartment 11]
[rings the doorbell]
Woman:
"Who is it?"
[checks the window]
Subject 0024:
[waves hand and smiles at her]
"May I come in?"
Woman:
[unlocks and opens the door]
"Hello Mr. Vitam... please come in..."
Subject 0024:
[gets inside the apartment]
"It looks like you are getting by..."
Woman:
"Yes..." [sighs] "but life is hard..."
Subject 0024:
"About your debt..."
Woman:
[gets anxious]
"Listen... about that..."
"I can't really pay right now..."
"I'm in a tough situation..."
"Listen, I'll do what you want..."
"Just let me pass this month..."
Subject 0024:
[scratches head]
"I knew you'd say that..."
"However, I'm here to tell you that..."
"You don't have to pay for it..."
Woman:
[gets puzzled] "What?"
"Are you serious?"
"That's fifteen thousand..."
Subject 0024:
[smiles at her]
"I'm really sorry about what happened..."
"About what I did..."
Woman:
[still puzzled]
"I don't get it..."
"What happened?"
"What did you do?"
Subject 0024:
"I realized that I was being a dick..."
"You know what?"
[sighs] "Forget about it..."
"I need to go..."
"You don't need to pay me..."
[stands up to leave]
"Here, I'll give you another five thousand for the trouble."
[hands over money]
"I realized that you need money badly... I hope that can help."
Woman:
"Thank you?" [still very puzzled]
[prevents him from leaving]
"Are you still you?"
"Did something happen, Mr. Vitam?"
"You suddenly changed..."
"Is something bothering you?"
"Let's talk about it..."
Subject 0024:
(I still have time loads of time, but at least I changed the future...)
(Instead of what I made her do to me last time, I'll set things right.)
[sits back down]
Woman:
"Do you need a drink?"
[sympathetic]
Subject 0024:
"I just had a drink a while ago, but thanks for the offer..."
[looks at her as she takes a seat beside him]
"You know... I felt like I've been through a lot... lately..."
Woman:
"You are not alone there, sir."
[she spreads out her arm as if introducing her own place]
"Welcome to my world..."
Subject 0024:
"Hopefully... this world is real..."
Woman:
"What made you say that it isn't?"
Subject 0024:
"I'm not even sure anymore, to be honest..."
"I've been on two other separate realities aside from this one..."
Woman:
[interprets his statement as roles in life]
"Is it okay if I give you an advice?"
Subject 0024:
"Sure..." (Maybe I do need an advice...)
Woman:
"You need to set your priorities straight."
"You have a unique role to fill in and to play..."
"In the realities or stages of life that you are in..."
[curious]
"Have you ever been in a relationship?"
Subject 0024:
"I did... but I thought that work is more important... so I left..."
(That must've been the reason why I asked her for a s****l favor before.)
(I am basically frustrated that my own subconscious is leaking out...)
"Roles... huh... I feel so stressed indeed..."
"Am I even actually me?"
Woman:
"I think it's a matter of choice."
"It's like what I'm about to do right now..."
[puts her arms around Subject 0024]
[kisses him in the lips]
[sits on his lap]
"I know that this is sudden..."
"But I can't thank you enough for helping me..."
"So I thought I can help you... you know... get off..."
Subject 0024:
[loses train of thought]
"I can't... say no... to that..."
(This is the reverse of what happened last time...)
"You're assertive..."
Woman:
"Do you not like me being assertive?"
[teases him with another kiss]
"You don't have any girlfriend, you said..."
"So... let me repay you..."
[unbuttons her shirt]
Subject 0024:
"This is happening..."
[kisses her back]
[unbuttons and undresses himself]
