Lisa recounts her past, remembering that her mother Mary (Lorna Tolentino) brought her to Korea during her childhood where she had met Kim. While at work, her father Pio (Boboy Garrovillo) calls her to inform her of her mother’s suicide leading to Lisa developing post-traumatic stress disorder and forgets about her prior experiences in Korea.
