00:01

She realizes that neither of them say ‘Hello’ anymore now when the other calls.

00:14

She usually seriously needs something. He usually has some gripe with life.

00:47

One of them says something and they both laugh.

01:20

They keep talking and they keep laughing.

03:25

She says something tangential (she always does). He has something to say about that (he always has).

20:25

There are a lot of tangents. And intersections. And parallels.

21:48

And they always laugh.

24: 53

Sometimes she’ll be pensive or reflective.

25:32

He’ll usually agree. If he doesn’t, he’ll try to make her agree with him.

26:09

Pliant, though, is not one of the words to describe her.

29:51

There is always an argument.

29:57

Within that argument are many laughs.

32:16

When he wins, she’ll roll her eyes and concede that he’s right. When she wins, he’ll tell her “Basta, ganon yon.”

33:00

She’ll say something and he’ll tell her that it reminds him of something his grandmother used to say.

35:33

He’ll tell her some story from his childhood.

40:09

She’ll tell him some story from when she was a kid.

42:28

There is a word that she’s bound to use wrong and he’ll laugh at her.

42:29

She will laugh at herself.

44:45

She’ll glance at the running numbers and see how long it’s been and feel guilty because she’s breaking all the non-promises she made Lawi.

45:50

She tells him something came up.

45:55

They never end their calls by saying ‘Bye’ either.

you made a choice to be good

ぼく わ きみのとなりで

endless line


last year's wishes are this year's apologies

the best way to make it through with hearts and wrists intact

-

"Is that what we call him now, 'boss'?"

"What the - no, I -"

There's five thousand words spilling out of her head and every letter snags at her throat. She wants to tell him that no she doesn't call him that, no she wouldn't have told him that he called when they're using voice coms on loudspeaker like that, actually he doesn't have to call to ask how she is because he knows because they -

- but then she realizes that she'd only be telling him that she's not doing what she says she will and what he says she should do, so she bites her lip and shuts up.

What was that quote that he sent her, like, last week?

-

is to realize that two out of three aint bad

-

"Friendship is just giving each other the same advice and no one taking it."

and trust me i'll give it a chance

Alam ko naman binagalan mo.


Now take my hand, stop, put Van the Man on the jukebox
And then we start to dance

i guess you know i've been away

where i'm heading, who knows


Because it's four in the morning and she's up thinking about principles and morality and being human and being weak and that damned line she can barely keep toeing when she knows she's better than that and she has to be better than wanting to be that.

but my heart will stay the same
