Miko writes a letter to his deceased parents updating them on his life taking care of his younger sister Kala. He struggles to fill the role of parent while also dealing with bullies at school who extort money from students. During one encounter, Miko stands up to the bullies to protect Kala and encourages other students to join him. This gives the students courage to stand up to the bullies together. Miko is proud of protecting Kala and finding the courage to confront the bullies, fulfilling his promise to his parents.

2. Hey, Mom and Dad. It’s been a year now since…..you know…

3. Anyway things are a bit rough, but I’m handling it well and I know
everything will work out..

4. I’m trying hard to keep my word to protect Kala and raise her the best I can.

5. You should see how big she’s getting… Her school grades are not as good as it use
to be. I think she’s distracted by something. She hasn’t been open with me as she
used to, but I think it’s just part of growing up.

6. Now I know what it’s like being a parent. Hahaha! It’s a tough shoe to fill. So that’s
all the update I got for you guys. I don’t want to ramble for to long, but I just needed
to talk to you guys about …things…..
