414 Finishing Things, The Last Day in New Infanta Settlement

Day 71 - 8:45 AM - Temporary Housing, New Infanta Settlement, Barangay Banugao, Infanta Quezon

Hearing Pearl's story made the women inside the room feel complicated. That feeling was even more complicated when it came to Mei and Jaeya. They experienced being toyed with by men. Mei was lucky that Mark came to her rescue. Jaeya, on the other hand, experienced it while her mind was already broken. They did not have the same experience as Pearl, but it was already enough to understand her plight.

What made it even more complicated was because Mei and Jaeya were both victims of misfortune. Pearl, on the other hand, was a victim of her ill choice.

They did not know whether they should sympathize with Pearl or blame her for it.

Then, the next part of the story was told by Pearl.

She had been nursed back to health by the military as much as possible. It was the same for the other slaves with grave conditions after being rescued.
