I see a cigarette caught in the gutter's tiny river. More rain falls. The paper-rolled tobacco is swept into the sewers by the current. It doesn't choose where the water takes it. I don't either.
Nakikita ko ang isang sigarilyong tinatangay ng tubig kanal. Walang tigil ang pagbuhos ng ulan. Hanggang sa tuluyang tinangay ng agos ang yosi pailalim sa padaluyan. Nagpaubaya na lang ito kung saan man dalhin nang tubig. Parang ako lang
The food here is so... ugh. I miss the food back home. What about adobo? Lumpia? You never eat it, even when your parents make it. So is forgetting your roots.
Rich called the Philippines his home until his early teens where he moved away to Canada. Rich does his best to assimilate to his new environment in Canada at the cost of forgetting where he came from. His primary focus is helping Faye as she adjusts to her new environment.
He is a very straightforward thinker and does his best to take care of Faye and be her anchor. However, his efforts can come off a little cold and over cumbersome.
Like an overprotective older brother, he is harsh but this comes from a place of love and care.

Ugh. I don't have time for this. I'm looking for my friend. Have you seen a girl come through here? Late teens, about this tall, black hair, brown eyes.
Hey, are you feeling nervous? I’m surprised! I thought you’d be weirder about all this. I appreciate the honesty. Stay with me, and it'll be alright.
Ugh! We missed it! Yeah, but—if we didn't have the ticket fiasco, we'd be early. Faye, it's OK. Let's make sure not to miss the next one.
