Continuation...

(K)NIGHT's POV

"Everything you left behind, has become my everything."


There's a Japanese song called キヅアトby a band called Centimillimental (a band I came to love nang ma-exposed ako sa j-pop at matutong makaintindi ng Japanese kahit walang subtitles). キヅアトmeans 'Scar' in English. Mula sa title hanggang sa overall lyrics, maging yung official nitong music video, everything about that song resonated deeply on me, like some kind of cherished pain.


"Everything you left behind, has become my everything."


This particular line of the song na ilang beses inulit ang pinaka nag-resonate sa akin. Hindi dahil ilang beses itong inulit kung 'di dahil-  everything Night left behind, really did become my everything...

Sa totoo lang, nang kontakin ko sila Flare at Air, one month ago habang nasa Japan pa ako, I was already prepared for rejection. The group had no choice to disband because of me. They have all the right to be mad and not talk to me again. Kaya, laking gulat ko nang magreply silang pareho ng


'G.'


at 


'Okay.'


doon sa message na sinend ko asking for their appearance sa livestream concert na balak kong gawin pag-uwi ko ng Pilipinas.


Dapat sa isang maliit na studio lang namin gaganapin ang lahat, with only the three of us livestreaming the whole thing, pero-  everything escalated quickly nang i-video call nila ako bigla saying they want to give the best to our fans, that they all deserve better than this... if it's gonna be the last, we ought to give our all, they said.


And so, using and exhausting all the means, energy, and connections all three of us have... we were able to organize this supposed to be livestream concert nang live sa loob ng isang arena. We were able to say goodbye to our fans not just properly but in the most blinding way possible.


Wala... walang paglagyan ang pasasalamat ko sa kanilang dalawa for doing this.


This... means a lot to me. Napapa-English na nga tuloy ako dito nang sobra, OMG.


I... want Night's last flight to be memorable. 


I want to make it so people would still remember him even after a long time since he's gone.
