“Where do you think you’re going now? To Lealy’s room, I suppose!” Mart says mockingly.

“How dare you! You bastard!” Tirad replies angrily trying to move past him. He puts his palms against Mart’s chest to push him away, but he won’t move. He seems to have enjoyed the game, having captured Tirad like a little fish caught in a puddle of water.

As he speaks, he spits into Tirad’s face which disgusts him. He has stopped pushing Mart; it’s useless, the more he tries, the less he can move him and this surely gives Mart more confidence. Even if he can get away from Mart now, Yuma would get him. He is leaning on one leg with his hands folded, waiting to punch Tirad.

“Everyone knows about you and Lealy sleeping together!” Mart says spitting again and laughing aloud. Yama laughs as well.

Tirad fold her knees and with a sudden kick under Mart’s testicles, pushes Mart away.

“Shut up! I never slept with anyone!” Tirad replies furiously. Mart continues his fake laughter. He lets his prey get out of his trap but won’t let him escape.

“What do you do with her then? You don’t expect us to believe you just lie by her side, do you?” he continues his mocking and laughs louder. Tirad didn’t expect to hear such accusations. But he had been too ignorant. How could he have been such a fool not to think that others would peek into Lealy’s room as he does himself? Maybe he didn’t care since he thought he didn’t do anything wrong. If they had really seen them together, then they would know it was nothing more than a simple cuddling. But he can never stop what other people think or say.

“You know that there’s nothing between me and Lealy…she is just a like a sister to me, you could ask her yourself!” Tirad replies with a lowered voice, trying to end the dispute.

“There’s no use in asking, I shall have to see for myself!” Mart says in a mischievous tone, as he turns the doorknob of Lealy’s cabin.

“What do you think you’re doing?” Tirad leaps towards Mart.

“Get away!” Mart says, as he pushes Tirad away. Tirad slips between him and the cabin door.

“What do you want with her?” Tirad says, trying to stop Mart from opening the door.

“I thought you were just pretending to be a virgin… But you really are a little boy, aren’t you?” Mart replies, easily pushing Tirad away with the back of his arm.

“Shut up!” Tirad shouts. Lealy’s worried voice comes out from behind the door. She desperately asks what is going on. Mart and Tirad fight over the door, Mart trying to open it and Tirad trying to prevent him. Mart kicks Tirad in his knees and Tirad falls on the floor. Mart turns the knob and Lealy comes to the doorway with a messy hair and a garbled look. Tirad tells her to go back into the cabin but Mart stops her.
