We're almost there, ma'am.

What was supposed to be a two-hour drive turned out to be a three-hour trip.

But it's okay.

When you leave your old life behind, you don't have to rush.

How do you start a new life, when you feel dead inside?

I don't have a choice.

Ma'am, I already told your father that you’ve arrived.

Thanks, Kuya Rick. Take care.

Let me help you with your things.

I can handle this.

Okay.

I really need to start over.

A clean slate.

Oh!

Lorelei!

I've been waiting for you for a while.

Tita Martha.

I think I was still in grade school the last time I vacationed here.

Wow, Lorelei, you’re all grown up now.

You can just call me Lori.

Lori! Oh!

Good thing Tita Martha is here.

She's Mama's cousin.

Wait.

Why...

did your Dad leave so soon?

Too bad...

I haven't seen Walter in ages.

He didn't come along.

The thing is...

he had an important meeting earlier.

Oh, is that so?

But he really wants to see you, Tita.

He said I should check in on you for him.

We better go inside

so you can see your unit, okay?

- I’ve really prepared everything. Come on. - Sure.

Alright. Come, grab your stuff. Let's go.

Of course, that was a lie.

But Tita Martha doesn’t have to know.

Almost everyone living here is a student.

Especially those from far away.

Because you can literally just walk from here to Clark U.

This place is really packed.

You just don’t notice because it’s quiet.

It's because all they focus on,

you know, is computers and laptops, right?

Ouch.

Are you okay?

It's heavy.

That's what I wanted to ask, actually.

Are you okay sharing the unit with someone else?

What?

Since all the units are already full...

You have your own room,

you just have a common area.

You know, the kitchen, bathroom, living room.

I think it’s okay for us to share.

We’re both girls, anyway.

He’s a guy, though.

Your dad told me...

about what happened to you at your old school.

I'm really sorry that happened to you. I'm really sorry, okay?

But trust me, alright? Nothing bad will happen to you.

This time, you have a different kind of roommate.

He's not like other guys.

How is he different?

- He's really quiet. - Ah.

It's like you have a roommate that's like...

a stone.

He's mysterious.

And most importantly,

he's not interested in girls.

Maybe he likes guys?

Guys?

He has no interest in anyone.

Whether it's a girl or a guy.

Because in the two years he’s lived here, I don’t remember him ever bringing

a friend or classmate over.

And I think,

maybe you just rarely get the chance to see or talk to each other.

Because that’s what his previous roommates told me too.

Who were his old roommates and why did they leave?

He never had a roommate who stayed long.

But he’s not the one being complained about.

The stories vary.

They say there's a ghost.

Or they sense something else.

But if you ask Loki,

he says there's no ghost.

That’s why he’s able to stay by himself for so long.

Right?

So, it's nothing, right?

Let's go inside?

Alright.

Loki?

Loki!

Maybe he didn't hear us. Wait.

We're coming inside, okay?

Let's go in.

Oh, Loki. You’ve just been sitting there. Your new roommate is here.

Here's your common area, this is the living room.

Hi.

I'm Lorelei Rios.

Loki Mendez.

Pleased to meet you.

I'm in the middle of solving a puzzle here.

Can you not disturb me for another five minutes?

Isn't he nice?

I warned you earlier.

But he’s really nice.

Come on. Let me take you to your room. Okay?

Come, I'll go with you.

Right here.

Here are the extra pillows and blanket.

You can arrange the room however you like.

Here's your key card for the main door.

And here's your key for the bathroom.

And this is for the room.

If you need anything, anything at all,

just come to my unit, unit 101.

Sure. Thank you, Tita.

Tell your dad to visit every now and then,

so he won’t miss his only daughter too much.

Alright, I'll go ahead, okay?

Gab: Lori, why aren't you enlisted anymore?

Gab: Aren't you going to enroll at St. Barth?

Che: Lori, what happened? Please reply.

AJ: I heard about what happened. You okay, girl??

Meg: I'm so sorry that happened to you.

Should I talk to him?

But he's reading,

he might get disturbed.

Your glances are making me uncomfortable.

Oh, no. Did he read my mind?

Or, wait. Maybe I'm not the one he's talking to.

Is there anything you want to ask me?

Well...

I appreciate the silence between us.

But I don't mind getting to know you.

I mean, we're living under the same roof.

It's better if we get to know each other first.

I mean...

we still don't know anything about each other.

Oh, I disagree.

Excuse me?

You're from Manila.

You decided to transfer here

possibly to study at Clark University.

- Did Tita Martha tell you that? - Nope!

I deduced it based on how you dress.

An all-black outfit may be a fad in Manila,

but not here.

The tags in your luggage show

that you travelled to and from Manila, probably for leisure.

You got all that information from my clothes and my bags?

People are like books.

I like reading books.

And if my hunch is correct...

you’re running away from something in Manila.

That’s why you’re looking for peace and quiet in this faraway place.

Don't worry,

Mrs. Henson didn't tell me anything.

But even if she did,

I wasn't listening.

But tell me,

am I right?

How did you know I was running away from something?

You ignored your friends' messages.

Disconnecting from people is a form of social withdrawal

where one pulls away from friends and activities

linked to stress and anxiety.

You want to run away from them.

Or forget them.

- How did you know... - I saw it on my way from the bathroom.

Your screen's brightness was on full.

It's hard not to notice.

Why didn't you reply to them?

I wonder.

They were so concerned about you.

Oh, my God.

You're reading my messages?

What was that incident you're running away from?

What are you trying to escape from?

Did something happen at your old school?

Enough.

Looks like your family's well-off

and there a lot of prestigious schools that you could transfer to in Manila.

I can see three scenarios.

Stop.

First, you witnessed a crime.

Enough.

Second, you were involved in a scandal.

And, third...

I said, enough!

I thought that when I got here, I'd be able to forget those things.

But all it took was this weird guy showing off his people-reading skills.

What if I tell him to Tita Martha?

But, no.

That would be childish.

What am I, in high school?

Tomorrow, my new life begins as a Journalism major at Clark University.

That's what I need to focus on.

Right, Mom?

I know that even if you're not here,

that's what you'd tell me.

I want to make you proud of me.

It's great that your nickname "Ley" is also the old German word for "rock."’.

And you are my rock, Mom.

I can get through this as long as I carry the memory of your love with me...

Hi!

There's a freshmen orientation. Please come.

Thanks, but I'm a transferee.

Oh, sorry. Welcome to Clark University!

Thank you.

Enjoy!

Good morning.

Guys, the Clarion's out!

- Get your copy here. - Clarion?

Yeah, our school paper. Do you want one?

Sure!

Thanks!

Guys, get your copies here! The Clarion is out!

Come on.

Come on, guys. Here.

The Clarion is out.

Everyone seems so light and friendly.

Now I miss my friends in St. Barth even more.

You're new here?

We're in the same course, but we haven't met yet.

I'm Rosetta. Rosetta Rodriguez.

Lorelei Rios.

You can call me Lori. I just transferred this semester.

I think we're gonna be friends.

I can sense some...

I can sense some vibe.

You have a light aura.

I can also sense that...

your next class is Journ 103.

You're good.

You're right.

Are you going to class now?

Come on, let's go together. We have the same classes.

Our lockers are even next to each other.

I feel like we're gonna be BFFs.

- Let's go? Come on, let's go. - Sure.

Hours turned into days.

Days quietly became weeks.

I thought it would be hard for me to adjust,

but because of Rosetta and my other blockmates,

everything felt lighter.

Let's go.

- Bye, Lori. See you next week. - See you around, Lori. Take care.

Really?

You're the only one they greeted?

Beautiful. Such a long hair.

Anyway, how are you? You're okay?

- The adjustments? New school? Is it okay? - It's fine.

- It's okay. - It's okay? At least...

Lori, let's eat at the kiosk. My treat.

Rosetta and I will stop by the library first.

Next time, then?

Hi, Lori. I got the STS readings photocopied for you.

- Excuse me. It's nice. Do I have one too? - Thank you. You even bothered.

Lori, anything you order, I got it.

- It's okay. It's fine. - What's your deal, man?

Clark University Repertory Club Grand Auditions this Friday!

What's this, Rosetta?

It’s Friday. It’s gonna be fun!

See? I can do that too. Let's audition.

I'm gonna pass on that.

You're unbelievable.

You're so pretty.

No wonder so many boys like you.

You're not gonna say yes?

- Even just one? - Gosh.

No.

I'm focusing on the academics.

And maybe next semester,

I'll try joining The Clarion.

Oh, so why not this semester?

Besides, it's Org Recruitment Week too.

I'll think about it, but,

it seems too early to get involved in an org.

I just transferred at Clark.

I'll just observe for now how The Clarion works.

Fair point.

But joining the dance group sounds fun too. I want to dance.

What happened to you?

There's a scratch on this lock.

It wasn't there when I used it yesterday.

Are you sure?

Maybe you're the one who did that?

No.

I'm careful with my keys.

And...

this is not just a simple scratch.

Looks like it was forced.

I knew it.

Someone forced my locker open.

That's so sweet. I wish I had that too.

What's so sweet?

Don't be surprised.

You're gorgeous. No doubt you'll have secret admirers.

Right? You have a long hair like me.

But someone still tampered with my locker.

Rosetta, I'm freaked out. He could steal from me.

Is there a CCTV here?

No.

What's with you?

Just chill.

I'm sure he doesn't mean to rob you. Look how sweet he is.

It's yours.

Are you sure? 'Cause...

I'm on a diet.

It's yours.

We are all familiar with the decimal system.

But there are various number systems, though we don't usually use them often.

Can anyone give me examples?

This is just a review, okay?

I'm tired.

Aren't you tired?

I'm tired. How come you still look so fresh?

The world is so unfair. Why, universe?

Here he goes again.

This was taken during our Math class.

Rosetta, I have a stalker. I need to report this.

And who exactly are you going to report?

Who in our Math class did this?

Who are the guys who like you?

- Or girls, who knows? - I need to find out who it is.

It's hard to point fingers.

Why go through all this?

He could've just talked to me in person.

Maybe he knew you'd just reject him anyway.

Actually, maybe you already rejected him, so...

there.

So, what?

Does that mean he get to stalk me?

And he can just force himself on me?

That's not right either.

If he really wants me, he'll respect my choice.

Hey, you know what.

If you want to know who it is fast, you could go to the...

the detective club, the...

Q.E.D. Club.

- Detective club? - That one.

Like, when...

say Clark U students have a problem,

or if they’ve got mysteries they want solved,

that's where they go.

Like private investigators?

Yeah, but they're students.

It seems like it's gone now, but maybe they're still active.

You know what,

if your secret admirer hasn’t given up by tomorrow…

go ahead and ask them for help.

They're at Ibarra Hall, on the third floor.

At the row of the org rooms,

they're at the far end.

They have a sign on the door that says Q.E.D. Club.

Alright. I'll go ahead, okay?

See you. Bye.

What the... Even my old photos?

This has to stop.

Whatever this Q.E.D. Club is,

I need to talk to them.

To put an end to this mystery once and for all.

Excuse me.

Is this the Q.E.D. Club?

If you're familiar with the English alphabet,

and you know how to read,

the answer to your question is obvious.

Wait.

Are you my roommate?

What's your name again?

Lorraine?

Lorena?

What?

I can't believe.

After living in the same apartment for the past few weeks,

you still can't remember my name?

You know what, never mind.

Looks like I went into the wrong room.

No need to lie.

Just now you were asking where the Q.E.D. Club is.

And you're in the right room.

And you're the last person that I want to see today.

So, if it's okay with you, I'll go ahead.

Another lie.

Excuse me?

I'm not the last person you want to see.

It's the person bothering you.

A secret admirer perhaps.

How did you know that?

Did someone tell you?

Just a guess.

And as usual...

I'm right.

Our first conversation must have left a bitter taste in your mouth.

But I believe I can help you.

No pressure, of course.

You have two options.

Option 1...

You can leave now, like you said.

And deal with your secret admirer.

Or Option 2...

You can tell me the details of your problem.

And I'll expose the identity of this person.

Don't worry,

once your problem is solved,

we can go back to playing strangers again.

Fine.

Tell me what happened.

It started last Monday.

I noticed scratches on my locker lock.

True enough, someone sent me a note, chocolates, and flowers.

I feel like it's one of my blockmates, and he even found my old photos.

And that was the latest gift.

I came straight here right after I saw it.

What time do you usually check your locker?

Around 9 a.m.?

9:30 a.m.?

And then in the afternoon, around 4 p.m.

Sometimes, 3 p.m.

Unless, there's P.E. class.

Well...

consider your problem solved.

If you want,

I can expose him this afternoon.

Well, that was fast.

Do you know who it is?

Not yet.

But I have an idea how I can find out.

Until what time are your classes today?

Until 4.

Perfect.

Meet me at exactly 5 p.m. at the Main Building rooftop.

This admirer of yours will no longer be a secret.

And your problem will be over.

I hope you're right.

Aaron?

What are you doing here?

You said you wanna see me.

What?

To be honest,

my class actually ends at 5 p.m.

But I came as fast I could.

Sorry, but I didn't write that.

You must be mistaken.

I'm waiting for someone else here.

But you left the message in your locker.

You said you wanted to see me.

Here, on the rooftop,

at 5 p.m.

You wanted to get to know me?

So you could thank me

for the gifts.

Look.

You?

You're my secret admirer?

Bye, Lori. See you next week.

See you around, Lori.

Take care.

Yours truly.

What's wrong?

You said you wanted to see me, huh?

I'm here.

Huh?

No.

I didn't write that note.

Okay.

Then who?

Oh, you...

You really like being funny, right?

You know...

ever since your first day here,

I really wanted to get to know you.

Your smile is so cute.

And I love when you laugh.

Honestly,

I thought you were avoiding guys.

That's why I was so happy when I found out...

that...

you like me back.

That's not true.

No, no, no.

It's okay. No need to be shy.

It's just you,

and me...

alone.

- Just like... - Stay away from me.

- Come here! - No, no! No.

- You wanted this, right? - No, no.

- That's why you're here, right? - No! No!

Come here!

Give it to me!

Try screaming for help.

Go!

- No! - Come here!

Loki, thank God you're here.

As usual,

my timing is perfect.

But I had to make sure that he was indeed your stalker.

So, I waited for him to force himself on you.

Huh?

Don't worry.

I have the evidence on video.

- No! No! - Come here!

No! No!

- You wanted this, right? - No! No!

What "no"?

Wait, you've been here all this time?

Since 4:45.

I've been hiding there.

When he finds out you're here alone...

he would lower his guard.

And we will know his true intentions.

And I'm right.

He has bad intentions toward you.

You've been here all this time, but you let him touch me?

Don't worry about him.

That's enough evidence to expel that stalker.

Besides,

you won't get any love notes,

chocolates, and...

Is this how you say thank you?

If yes,

you're welcome.

You have no idea how much you hurt me.

You lied to me

and even used me as bait to catch him.

You put me in danger!

You just watched while he touched me!

Which one of you is the worst?

The end justifies the means.

You asshole!

Aaron, I've been looking for you.

Lisa, I can’t talk right now.

Wait, I have something important to say.

Lisa, I have to go!

- Are you okay? What happened? - Never mind!

Why are you so annoying?

Did you miss us, Lorelei?

You really think you can escape us?

No matter where you go,

we will follow you.

Come on.

Stop playing hard to get.

Come with us.

Come on.

He is the most awful housemate!

I thought moving here would help, but it only got worse.

I'd like to say sorry.

What I did yesterday was wrong.

I never thought I'd hear you say sorry.

Do you accept my apology?

Do you really think it's that easy?

You think I'll forgive you just because you said sorry?

There’s nothing I can do if you won't forgive me.

I just felt compelled that I need to say the magic word.

Compelled?

So you’re only doing it because you feel forced?

When you commit a mistake,

yes, you should say sorry,

but it should come from the heart.

Not because you're just being forced.

Is that so?

I thought it was done for reset.

Reset?

Reset.

When you say sorry,

the mistakes you committed gets reset.

You can make mistakes again.

And you can make mistakes with that person too.

You already said sorry.

Just like when someone says thank you.

When they expresss their gratitude to someone,

you can ask them to do a favor

- for you in the future. - Hold on.

Which dictionary taught you the meaning of "sorry" and "thank you"?

My God.

What kind of childhood did you have that made you think like that?

Well,

from my observation

that's just how people are.

When you make mistake,

say sorry.

Then you'll make mistakes again.

The cycle repeats.

Even with your family?

Or friends? Really?

I dont have friends.

I don't need friends anyway.

They're all just excess baggage.

Fine.

I'll accept your apology.

But you owe me a favor.

On the contrary...

I solved your problem.

So you owe me a favor.

I want you to revise your blog post.

It's written well,

but I look like the bad one.

You made me look like a villain.

What?

If it weren't for me,

Arnold would still be bothering you.

- Aaron! His name is Aaron! - The point is...

I did it for free.

Now,

if you revise this blog post of yours,

let's call it quits.

You really are something, huh?

You're even going to meddle with my personal blog post?

Make your own blog if you want,

but I'm not changing mine.

This blog will be taking an indefinite hiatus

due to personal reasons.

When the time is right,

the letters to my Mom Ley in my drafts folder

can finally be published again.

Don't come any closer!

Lisa, please! Step back!

I'm not coming down until you take back Aaron's expulsion!

If you don't take it back now, I'll really jump!

Don't come any closer!

Oh, no, it looks like he's about to jump.

They say Aaron committed a grave offense, that's why he was expelled.

This is my fault.

This is my fault.

It's you again.

Are you gonna watch the shooting?

Shooting?

Everyone's freaking out.

What genre is this?

Action?

Drama?

- Comedy? - Loki, no. There's no shooting.

Loki, I need your help.

Please! We're running out of time.

There's always time.

And why my help?

Because we're the reason Aaron got expelled.

And that’s the reason Lisa will jump.

Why the hell would she do that?

I don't know. Okay?

All I know is she wants the expulsion reversed.

Otherwise, she'll jump!

Look, Loki.

I'm already forgetting what Aaron did to me,

because Lisa's life matters more.

Don't you feel guilty?

Why?

I don't feel guilty even when I step on a cockroach.

This stalker of yours has conciousness and free will

yet he decided to force himself on you.

I don’t feel guilty about that.

Besides,

what do I gain by stopping Lina?

Lia?

Lisa!

What are you, Loki?

What do you gain from this?

You save a life!

Isn't that enough?

I swear, my conscience couldn't handle it if anything bad happened to her.

Not my cup of tea.

But...

if you wanna help her, go ahead.

If you help, I'll be in your debt.

So you owe me a favor?

Fine! Okay!

I'll revise the blog post.

No need.

I have a better idea.

Anything, I'll do it.

As long as it's not against my morals or principles.

Just help.

Good.

I'll be back in five minutes.

I just need to get something or I can't function.

Five minutes?

Loki!

Miss!

We can still talk this out! Get away from there!

Talk about it?

Talk about what? You're just fooling me.

Lisa, don't do it. Please.

Go ahead!

Jump.

What took you so long?

I can't start without my coffee.

This is all unnecessary morning drama.

I told you not to come closer, didn't I? I'll jump!

Can't you hear me?

I said, jump.

No one's stopping you anymore.

Loki, what are you doing?

Come on,

I have classes.

We all have work.

So, let's finish this.

Why?

You're not stopping me, huh?

Why would I do that?

If you want to jump off a building

because of some worthless guy,

a stalker and abuser,

be my guest.

No need for this selfish behavior.

Selfish?

And I'm the selfish one, huh?

Yes.

You only think about yourself.

You don't care about your schoolmates,

friends,

your family.

You don't care if you hurt them when you're gone.

And you don't care if you let them down

by wasting your life over what you want.

If that's not selfishness,

I don't know what is.

I'm not selfish!

What right do you have to judge me, huh?

You don't know me.

Take back what you said!

Take back what you said! Take back what you said!

Let me go! Let me go!

Let me go!

Let me go!

That was a close one.

I really thought Lisa was going to jump.

But, wait.

Is that a technique you use in these kinds of crises?

Reverse psychology with pattern interruptions

usually works on these kinds of people.

I wouldn't say it if I wasn't confident it would work.

Impressive.

But now that I've kept my end of the bargain,

you owe me a favor.

Favor? What favor?

I expected you to deny

or conveniently forget.

So, I have this.

Anything, I'll do it.

As long as it's not against my morals and principles.

Just help.

Fine!

Okay.

What do you want me to do?

I want you to join the Q.E.D. Club.

The student council vice president is bullying me.

I don't know anything about solving mysteries.

I think I hear rustling in the ceiling and walls.

It's only been a few weeks this semester, guys,

but we already have a lot of issues.

Why, Tita Martha?

Lorelei, help me!

Oh, my God.

I did not expect you to figure it out.

Just do it, Lori.

The Q.E.D Club is the one and only detective club in Clark University.

Our mission is to investigate hidden truths,

solve mysteries, logic and injustice.

Noted.
