“Ayokong makasakit ng tao lalo na kung ang taong yun ay minsang nagpangiti at may nagawang mabuti sa akin. Maraming magandang alaala ng pagkakaibigan. Yun na lang ang aking pahahalagahan.“Kahit naman ikaw (Kris), alam mong lahat, di ba? At kahit mahal mo ako, gusto mo akong ipagtanggol, hindi ka na lang magsasalita.”
