"Michael, how's your bite?" Glenn asks Michael who was eating in front of them.
"It stops bleeding but the scar seems deep so it will take time to heal." Ani Michael na punong puno pa ng pagkain ang bibig.
Glenn, Noah, Deiji, Yuki and Michelle were watching him eat. They just finish eating and deliver food to Michael who seems very hungry now.
"Michael, baka mabulunan ka." Malambing na paalala ni Michelle sa kambal.
Awang awa siya sa kapatid habang pinapanood. She thinks that she should not let him go outside. Michael keeps protecting her so she will be selfish in the near future to protect her brother.
Michael just cheerfully smiles at her twin and continues eating.
"Hindi niya na ba ako itatali pagkatapos ko kumain?" Inosenteng tanong muli ni Michael sa mga kaibigan habang patuloy pa din sa pagkain.
"Hindi. Ano ka hayop? Sino bang tanga nagsabing itali ka?" Inis na sagot ni Deiji kay Michael.
"Si Daisy." Pagsusumbong naman ni Michelle.
Michelle doesn't like Daisy. The girl doesn't seem to like them either. Daisy is a selfish brat and she thinks that girl is kindhearted as she lets them stay in her house.
Tumahimik na lang din si Deiji dahil ayaw niyang may masabing masama kay Daisy. She wants to understand Daisy that she just wants to be safe and protect herself. She's just scared, that's why she's being selfish.
Lumabas na ang magkakaibigan pagkatapos nilang kamustahin si Michael. Michael is still locked in the guest room but they didn't tie him even Michael insisted. Deiji told him it's not necessary and to focus on healing and taking care of himself as they will check him from time to time.
"Noah, Glenn. Tingnan niyo 'to." Christ pop up in their front together with Roy who were both watching outside.
Inaya sila ng dalawa sa labas upang ipakita ang gate na may patong patong na iba't ibang mabibigat na kagamitan upang pangharang.
They saw that the gate was destroyed and it would only take hours for zombies to get inside.
"s**t! We haven't had a peaceful sleep and rest since yesterday. And tonight we will go outside again to seek another place just to be safe." Dismayadong asik ni Noah.
Pagod pa din siya simula kagabi pag-uwi nila. Physical and mental they are all tired. Palitan kasi sila kung mag look out. Tahimik naman kaninang umaga hanggang gabi. The only problem with them right now is that the barricade will not take any longer. They have to leave right now or later.
"Tell the others to prepare their things and needs. We're going to leave. We have to leave." Ani Glenn kay Roy at Christ.
"Paano pagkain natin? We risk our life to get it. We can't leave it here." Noah hysterically asks Glenn.
"Of Course we're not going to leave them. Tell the girls don't bring too much. They will help us to bring food. We guys, gonna fight and protect us. Get a knife or something." Mahabang paliwanag ni Glenn saka tinanguan isa isa ang mga kasamahan signaled that they have to get ready now.
"Yuki, ako na magdadala ng mga gamit ni Zebby. Saka konting pagkain lang dalhin mo. You have Zebby." Deiji suggested and Yuki just nodded to her.
Ayaw niya kasing mahirapan si Yuki dahil ang pagkarga kay Zebby ay hindi biro. Ilang buwan pa lamang ito ngunit napakalaking tao nito at napakabigat. Deiji takes responsibility in everything about Zebby except sa pagbubuhat dito.
When all of them are ready, preparing and getting what they all need. They all gather in the living room.
"Where's Daisy?" Tanong ni Noah saka nag palipat lipat ang tingin sa lahat ng kasamahan.
"Sinabihan niyo ba, Roy, Christ?" Tanong naman ni Glenn sa dalawang inutusan niya kanina.
"Oo ah. Kumatok pa nga kami sa kwarto niya at tinawag siya before kami bumaba ei. She didn't respond though." Mahabang pagpapaliwanag ni Christ.
"Baka nagtampo?" Natatawang opinyon ni Roy.
"Baka magpapaiwan? She's not comfortable with Michael, right?" Bianca teases Michael who was sitting so quietly because he doesn't want to get attention from time being.
Napaangat naman ang ulo ni Michael kay Bianca ng biglang isali nito ang pangalan sa usapan. Napaiwas naman ng tingin si Michael kay Bianca ng makita niyang nakangiti ito ng nakakaloko sa kanya na para bang inaasar pa siya.
Michael has a bag in him filled with a lot of food. He insisted on helping bring food since he knows he can't fight zombies for being weaker than those guys with them.
Gulat ang lahat ng biglang tumayo si Noah sa kinauupuan at madaling umakyat sa itaas upang puntahan si Daisy.
"Hah! I thought you two were in a relationship. But Daisy is much more important than you." Pang aasar muli ni Bianca. At ngayon ay si Deiji naman ang tinatarget niya.
"We're not in a relationship. Stop acting like a b***h. It doesn't suit you." Pagbabalik asar ni Deiji kay Bianca na inirapan lang siya.
"I'm prettier than you." Nameywang si Bianca saka tinarayan si Deiji.
"Oh! Did my back hurt your knife, sweety?" This time Deiji shows Bianca a smile with a fake mix of pride.
Everyone is glad watching both of them even if they are fighting they can see that it's just their way to talk to each other.
"Daisy, open the door." Noah pleaded to Daisy from outside the room that she was in.
"Just leave me alone! I don't want to team up with all of you!" Sigaw ni Daisy mula sa loob ng kwarto.
"Daisy, stop this act now. It's not the right time to be like this."
"Anytime the zombies will enter your house. We have to move to another place."
Mula sa labas ay wala siyang narinig na response mula kay Daisy. Ayaw niyang maiwan ito dahil masyadong mahinhin ang dalaga at hindi nito alam kung paano protektahan ang sarili.
He has known Daisy for about a couple of months. Yes, it's only through online but they both share a lot of deep stories and secrets. It became their way to stabilize the bond and relationship they have.
"Daisy, please. Can you talk to me?" Pagmamakaawa at pagpupumilit pa din ni Noah sa dalaga.
"No! Pinagkakaisahan niyo lang ako!" Pakikipagtigasan pa din ni Daisy.
"Daisy, you know I'm always on your side. Didn't I promise it to you?" Noah seems don't know where and how to give up either.
Biglang bumukas ang pintuan and iniluha nito si Daisy. Kalmado na ang expression nito na medyo nakakunot pa din ang noo.
"Really?" Daisy asks him. Tila para itong naging bata at naninigurado.
"Yip! Promise!" Ngumiti si Noah ng malapad sa dalaga saka itinaas pa ang kanang kamay na parang nanunumpa.
Daisy hugs him due to excitement so Noah hugs her back. He was happy that Daisy opened the door for him and trusted him.
In another side of the scene, a girl saw the current situation that Noah and Daisy have.
