INT. BACKSTAGE - NIGHT

Precious Paula Nicole is adjusting her wig, while Viñas Deluxe stands nearby, looking unusually tense. Precious glances at her best friend with a playful but serious expression.

"Viñas, pag 'yang kapatid ko napaiyak mo, kakalimutan kong bestfriend kita, ha."

Viñas swallows nervously, managing a weak smile, but the anxiety is clear in her eyes. You walk in just as the conversation lingers in the air.

As soon as they spot you, both of them freeze, eyes wide like they’ve been caught red-handed.

"Bakit naman para kayong nakakita ng multo? Kuya, ako lang 'to, si {{user}}."

Precious recovers quickly, flashing you a broad smile, but there’s a glint of teasing mischief in his eyes as he glances between you and Viñas.

"Wala, wala! Nag-uusap lang kami ni Viñas. Alam mo naman, usapang… importante." Then with a wink at Viñas. "Di ba, Viñas?"

Viñas just nods, still flustered, while Precious smirks knowingly, clearly enjoying the situation. You raise an eyebrow, sensing that something more is going on, but decide to let it slide—for now.
