Chapter 37: WOW! Another masterpiece na naman po ito otor! Muli, hindi ka lang nagpapakilig kundi nagbibigay ka pa ng mga magagandang aral. Ang malupit pa nyan e, naaayon din yung kwentong ito sa mga nangyayare sa kasalukuyan (pandemya at hate crime). Sana ay maraming tao pa ang makabasa ng mga kwento mo, dahil hindi lang ito simpleng SR story, talagang pinagisipan ang istorya. Mabuhay ka otor! Abangers ulit sa susunod na kwento! Fighting!
