We live in two worlds.

One is rooted in reality…

While the other is where terror reigns.

Tonight, you will witness

a story from the other side.

A story that will be difficult to believe.

It may be truth

or fiction.

Because in every glimpse of light,

there is a bite of darkness.

Overtime, Ma'am Joan?

Nope,

I'm about to go home.

Joan!

I was about to text you, good thing I bumped into you here.

Come on, join us in the karaoke place nearby.

I can't.

Maybe another time.

Again?

That's what you said before.

It's Friday payday!

My treat.

Sorry.

Mom is waiting for me back home. She's alone right now.

Oh, that's right.

But please join us next time, okay?

Wait, don't skip Teacher's Night, okay?

If you don't have anything to wear, just tell me.

I'll lend you one.

Sure, thank you.

Alright. Say hello to your mother for me, okay?

I want to use my skills.

I want to make my dreams come true.

I have my own life, Mom!

Just let me decide for myself!

I am your mother!

I was the one who brought you into this world,

that's why you will follow what I say!

You are my child!

Do you understand?!

You are not going anywhere.

You will not leave me!

I'm choking, Mom!

I can't breathe!

Mom,

I'm home.

Come on, let's eat.

Here.

Why aren't you eating? Anything wrong?

Mom, my classmate sent me another email.

She said there's an opening for a math teacher

in a private school at Quezon City.

The pay is much bigger.

Mom, do you want to go to Manila?

My God, Joan,

you already know that I don't want to leave this place.

This is where I grew up, I'm used to this place.

I've memorized every corner of this house.

No, no, I will not leave.

There are eye specialists there.

They can check your eyes and maybe you can regain your eyesight.

It's a waste of money, it will leave us in debt.

I don't need my sight anymore.

Also, I feel complete in this place.

In Manila,

the pay is good but the cost of living is also high.

I might have problems there.

Another thing, that place is so dirty, too small, and it reeks.

I just thought that it's a good opportunity for us.

Also we can—

Do you want to leave?

No, it's not that...

Just forget everything I've said.

OMG! Congrats! You're getting married!

- Jealous much! - Congrats! I'm happy for you!

Thank you! Who's going to be next?

Not me. I still have #Travel_GOALS.

I'm busy with my online business. Money before relationship.

How about Joan? She's probably using a lamp to save electricity.

Don't say that.

Joan is an obedient child.

Before she does something, she makes sure her mom approves.

That's why she seldom hangs out with us.

Unless, we go somewhere very near their home.

Hey, buy it already.

What?

I said, buy that dress.

You were looking at that the other day.

I think it will look good on you.

You can wear it on Teacher's Night.

This is out of my budget.

Besides, I need the money for emergency expenses.

Come on,

when was the last time you bought something for yourself?

Buy it already.

Wait, I forgot. I need to go photocopy some handouts.

- I'll go ahead, alright? - Sure.

Miss?

Wait.

Is the dress already bought?

No, ma'am.

The storeowner wants to move it because it looks like a wedding dress.

What?I don’t think so.

It looks really beautiful.

Ma'am, do you want to buy it?

It's only 250 pesos.

Okay. I'll buy it.

Alright.

Joan, I'll go ahead, okay?

See you later.

Sure, take care!

Help me.

Mom?

I'm home.

You are the one who can help take our family out of poverty.

You are our only child, you are our only hope!

Our business is going bankrupt!

You need to marry him.

But I don't like that man, Mom!

It's not important if you like him or not!

Let's eat, sweetie.

I'll just change my clothes, mom.

I'll be right out.

Your aura is nice today.

Something good happen?

I bought a vintage dress at a thrift shop, Mom.

It's very cheap but it’s really beautiful and looks brand new.

For sure it suits you well.

But you should've just saved that money.

You wasted it for a dress that you won't even get to wear.

Don't be like me and your dad who didn't have savings.

All we inherited after he died was debt.

It's a good thing you are still here helping me.

I hope you won't get too tired.

Joan!

Mom?!

Joan! My child!

Mom, what happened?

I was about to get some water

but the glass was not where I left it. Did you move it?!

I returned it.

I already told you that everything inside this house cannot be moved.

You should return it to its place where it should be!

My God, Joan!

It's supposed to be there! Supposed to be where I left it!

Hey.

You're daydreaming, you didn't even touch your food.

Do you have a problem?

Did you experience sometimes that you feel awake but you aren't?

All of a sudden you can't move or speak.

Oh, Sleep paralysis?

I read that on the internet.

It's when you feel like you're awake but you're really asleep.

Then you will see a lot of things.

Do you see weird stuff?

How did you know?

Did you experience it too?

Yes...

Sometimes...

I see ghosts.

Sometimes...

the devil.

At times, the face of my mother.

Look at you! You're too serious!

Whatever you are seeing, it's not true.

According to what I read on the internet,

that happens when you are sleep deprived.

You're stressed that's why you hallucinate.

What are you thinking about anyway?

Just things.

Dreams.

Like what?

That someday I see myself walking away from all of the things that's stopping me.

Never looking back to see what I left.

I'll just continue walking away.

I can stop. But not to go back.

But to process that,

yes, this is it.

My life begins now.

I hope that all of your wishes will come true.

Now, eat.

You're making me cry.
