    Summary

    Hindi alam ni Elias kung ano ang isasagot niya. "Pakiramdam kong para po ninyo akong nilulunod sa kadiliman."

    “Kung ganon ay matagal na akong bulag, Elias” diin ni Crisostomo

     

    (or a confession set in that one boat debate and an excessive use of drowning and sea metaphors just because Elias is a boat pilot)

    Summary

    When Ibarra woke up that morning to find Elias holding him tightly, the pilot's broad chest against his back, the youth wasn't even surprised anymore. With a sharp inhale, he pried the strong arms from himself so he could get up. But the sleeping Elias was not going to lose his Ibarra-pillow and his hands immediately latched onto the youth's waist, pulling the man back.

    Summary

    "Why?"

    Drifted the voice of the man who sat opposite him. He sounded tired and his words were spoken softly, giving Elias the passing thought that the man could vanish at the faintest touch.

    "So that you can leave the country."

    Elias responded, facing the silhouette that was Ibarra. The man's back was to the paleness of the full moon, his features hidden by shadows casted.

    "Then come with me. We now share the same fate. Here, we are both wretched. Come with me and we shall live like brothers."

    Summary

    ...he swiftly bowed, took the boatman's hand, and placed a gentle kiss on one of his long fingers, soft lips meeting calloused hands. Ibarra looked up, "ano po pala ang inyong pangalan?"

    The man shyly looked away, then cleared his throat before replying, "Elías."

    Or: 4 times Ibarra kisses Elías' hand (and the 1 time he gets it in return).

    Summary

    Ashes turn to ashes and dust turns to dust
    But, before this body reverts to what it once was,
    It first turns back to who it loves.

     

    Death is irreversible, but apparently, time may not be; after a bloody encounter at a lake under moonlight, she who shines above red-hued water takes pity on a mourning man and the wounded body he grieves that stumbles through the woods. She gives them both opportunities for closure, a goodbye — and before they know it, Crisostomo Ibarra and Elías get to talk to the past self of their familiar through a dream. But what’s meant to close the book of their short-lived tale instead makes them believe they can use it to add more chapters, and in conversation with their past selves, who’re clueless of what’s to come, they attempt to rewrite their story.

    But history cannot be altered; fate is far too often tempted.
