I miss my Mrekza...

who was always there when I needed him.
The Mrekza...

Did you hurt anyone with what you did?

Yes. Fana.

He was the first one to welcome me to the Mabasos. And this is how I thank him.

Why did you do it if you knew it would hurt your brother?

I owe Dad big time.

He went through a lot...

because of me.

He nearly...

He sacrificed a lot to keep me safe.
So when he asked for a favour...

I did what I thought was best.

But it wasn't. Now...
