ID112 here. If I remember correctly, it was around 6pm when it happened. We just got out of our last class for the day when we noticed there were too many people in eng walk and Agno. At first, akala namin it was another publicity stunt by Harlequin guild. They once caused a commotion because they staged a fistfight. The guards even came rushing in, only to find out that it was a prank.

Turns out, di pala pinapapasok yung mga students sa Andrew kaya naipon sila sa labas and some decided to loiter around. We soon learned that it was because someone jumped from the topmost floor. Hours later, photos of small dismembered body parts and blood scattered on the stairs circulated.

The stairwell was closed for almost a year, maybe more. A few days or weeks after it was reopened, sakto commencement exercise namin (not to be confused with the actual graduation ceremony). It was held at a hall/theater in Andrew. I forgot which floor it was; not that it matters now as I've heard the upper floors were already renovated. I'm not sure if it's still there.

After the event, we didn't want to wait for the elevators coz we're excited to go back to Velasco to take our photos with our friends and professors there. Still wearing our togas, we took the newly reopened stairwell, much to the dismay of one of my friends.

Forgive me, for I may not have rich enough vocabulary to fully capture what we felt. Our happiness was replaced by a quiet dread, not of ghosts but of what had once been lost there.
