(quietly)

It feels… amazing. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. Everything looks so familiar, but at the same
time, different.
Jericho:
We’ve got a lot to catch up on, man. This country has changed, but the food’s still as good as
ever. Speaking of which, we’re taking you straight to our favorite karinderya (local eatery). You
must be starving after that flight!

where Tristan hesitates to try balut (fertilized duck egg), a popular delicacy.)
Tristan:
(eyeing the balut nervously)
Okay, I remember this… but I’ve never been brave enough to try it.
Mark:
Come on, man! You can’t say you’re back home until you’ve had balut! It’s a rite of passage.
Jericho:
(teasing)
What’s the worst that can happen? You’ve survived 10 years in Canada—this is nothing.
Stephen:
It’s part of the experience, Tristan. You’ve got to give it a shot. We’re all doing it with you.
(They all crack open their balut eggs, and Tristan reluctantly takes a bite. The friends cheer him
on, laughing as he finally eats it.)

Welcome back to the Philippines, bro!

I’ve missed this—the sound of the ocean, the warmth, everything about home. Canada’s great,
but nothing beats the Philippines.
Jericho:
We’ve missed you too, man. It’s been strange without you here, but it’s like no time has passed
when we’re together again.
Stephen:
Yeah, it’s like we just picked up where we left off. Even though things have changed, the
friendship is the same.
Tristan:
It’s funny… living in Canada has taught me so much about other cultures, but coming back here
reminds me that home is where your roots are. I may have been gone for years, but this place
will always be a part of me.
Mark:
And we’ll always be your brothers, no matter how far you go.
Tristan:
(smiling)
I’m just glad we finally kept our promise to reunite. Here’s to more memories—whether they’re
here, in Canada, or anywhere else in the world.

and who knows—next time, you guys come to Canada!

We’ll hold you to that! And don’t worry, we’ll visit. I’m ready to experience the snow!
Mark:
Take care of yourself, bro. And remember, no matter where you are, this will always be home.
Stephen:
Until next time, Tristan. We’re always here for you.
Tristan:
(smiling as he waves goodbye)
Until next time, guys. I’ll see you soon.
