(crying) I am recording this in 1995. If you find this, you are alive. Good. Now listen. Your father is dead. I killed him. Not with a knife. With silence. I told no one what he did. I let him rot in his own shame. But you… you are not shame. You are the only good thing I ever made. And I had to lose you to save you. That is the curse of the anak . We inherit the sins we try to escape.

You watched. All this time. You watched me become a monster… and you never said hello. EXT. BALETE TREE - NIGHT Carmina digs under the tree. She finds a rusted metal box. Inside: a dried umbilical cord, a baby tooth, and a cassette tape. Carmina sinks to the floor

That was my real name. Bitter.” A horrible, hollow laugh
