Chapter 3.5: Spectral Glitch

DAPAT natutulog na ako ngayon pero sinubukan ko pa ring takpan 'tong anomaly na 'to. It's 12 a.m. and anytime I can be caught by somebody. I don't know who, maybe an unsuspecting person or someone I know.

Nakaharap pa rin ako sa smartphone ko while thinking of my online friend's work. She did it habang nasa emergency

Condition ang lugar niya. I'm kind of jealous. First month of the year ako nag-start sa project na 'to while she started in the middle of the year and yet she finished it in just 2 months?

Bakit pa ba kasi ako tinatamad?

I stared at the blinking cursor, wondering what should I type next. Pero imbis na ipagpatuloy ang project, nanood na lang ako ng gaming content. What a messy schedule. Hindi pa ako nakakatapos ng isang video ay binuksan ko ulit ang file kung nasaan ang project. I clicked it and got surprised.

Bakit ayaw mabuksan? Dapat maayos 'to.

'An error happened.'

Ugh. Nevermind. Hindi pa naman masyadong marami ang nai-type ko. Gonna delete it if it doesn't open again.

'Can't delete. Error.'

What? Hey! This is non-canon! Hindi pwedeng nandito 'to! Why can't I delete this annoying glitch? I should delete this, It's making me mad. 5th part of 4 parts? Is this nuts? Gonna leave this here.

'Spectral Glitch Continuing...'

I can't believe I'm making this thing real! For goodness sake! Thick's plotte-I mean, plot's thickening!

'Continuing...'

Scindere? Are you in there? Scindere! Please answer me! Hey, smarty-pants! Scindere!

"What?"

"Huh? Anong meron?" Naranha asked. Pati 'yung dalawang sumama pa sa amin, napatingin din sa akin.

"B-bakit?" tanong ko sa kanya. Right, what have I done? I'm not doing anything at all.

"May sinasabi ka 'ata."

"W-wala akong s-sinasabi. B-bilis na." pagtanggi ko bago kami maglakad ulit. What the hell did just happened? Wala naman akong sinasabi...

'Continuing...'

Scindere? Are you in there? Scindere! Please answer me! Hey, smarty-pants! Scindere!

Scindere! Come on! Gumising ka!

F*cker, wake up! F*ck's sake, bitch!

Kuya Scindere!

Don't prank us!

'Continuing...'

Argh! What the hell? Why do I hear whispers? Am I hallucinating? And what's a spectral glitch? I looked everywhere. Ayokong mag-panic but why am I being paranoid?

Bigla akong nahilo. This is not some sort of-I don't know-illness, isn't it. Clouds began to appear from the sky at parang uulan pa. We're still following Naranha but...

What's happening?
