Before Being: November 15, 2008 (2035Hrs)

Dear Strawberry Jam,

I'm so terrified right now.

I'm shaking inside and my heart is just banging so hard on my chest. I was lying down a while back while your Ninang was in the shower, all of a sudden, this commotion from the backyard distorts the silence of the night. What stood out from the noise was the anguished cry of a cat amidst growls. The dogs in the backyard have butchered a stray cat again. I don't know how it snuck in but what terrifies me is the image of any of the troublesome trio getting caught in that sort of scramble. You're Ate Yubii Kei most of all because I know she'll fight for it. It breaks my heart. And though it's only playing in my head, I can't help but be enervated by the very thought. Maybe Mimi is not so strong after all, Angel.

Love, Mimi (Mommy)
