Laarni and Christian’s dispute was somehow put on hold as Laarni did her best to comfort the tearful Small Boy Wonder. The two were just quietly enjoying Mr. Pure Energy’s album at the garden, when Christian suddenly got teary-eyed over the song Natutulog ba ang Diyos? Laarni immediately noticed her companion’s sudden change of mood, so she immediately asked him what was wrong. Without any hesitation, Christian opened up to the Independent Woman and told her that he was simply feeling lonely. He also added that he wanted to cry to release the burden inside his chest. Being an emotional person herself, Laarni immediately understood what Christian was going through, so without any judgment she told him to do as he pleases.
In between his sobs, Christian blurted out to Laarni what was truly bothering him. Unfortunately, it seemed as if Christian’s probationary status shook out some of his emotions, including those that he thought he had long forgotten.
As he wiped his cheeks dry, Christian admitted to Laarni that he has a lot of insecurities regarding his condition. He said that he is very much aware of his appearance and how people react to it. And with this thought in mind, he wanted to do something that would prove the worth of his existence—something that would label him “normal.” According to him, this is all he ever wanted—to be socially accepted regardless of his physical attributes.
Laarni immediately dismissed this rather terrible thought from Christian. According to her, there is nothing more to prove because he already done what he wanted to accomplish—that he is indeed talented and worth the slot inside the Academy. Miguel joined the two Scholars who were having a heart to heart talk. Upon hearing of the two’s topic, he too couldn’t help but agree with Laarni’s point.
