Edzel's Denial, A World Turned Upside Down

Day 154 - 9:50 PM - Mountain Area, Municipality of Badian, Province of Cebu

With the miraculous reunion of the mother and child at the center, the whole place was enveloped in silence.

Of course, the cause for the silence was not only because of Edzel's reaction. The exact reason was what Celine said just now.

Celine mentioned those words as she stared at Edzel, with the fact that everyone here knew that the person they were going to rescue was Pefile's wife.

There was nobody else that Pefile's group brought back from the tribe aside from Celine.

"M-Mother? No, this is impossible!" Edzel yelled out loud, with his voice shaking in disbelief. "Mother died when I was a child! Who are you?!"

Far from a dramatic, sweet reunion, what filled Edzel was denial.
