Terrific Trio

In many TV shows that I watch, there is also a trio of main characters that seem to work well together, a couple and a third person...

White Collar:
Peter and Elizabeth Burke
Neal Caffrey

How I Met Your Mother:
Marshall Eriksen and Lily Alden
Ted Mosby

Chuck:
Chuck and Sarah Bartowski
John Casey

Raising Hope:
Burt and Virginia Chance
Jimmy Chance

Fringe:
Peter Bishop and Olivia Dunham
Walter Bishop

We have always been a trio of friends, in college from our sophomore days when all our adventures began. We have been through so much, from experiencing college together, same classes and all, to causing chaos within school grounds. However, it has been decided that our company should [temporarily] come to an end.

We cling to our own point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away. -Zhuangzi

As much as I'd like to believe that in this life, our trio would never have to change, it already happened. We would have never thought that it would come down to this. For three of us to be fighting against the system... And as things grow worse, I'd like to say a few things.

It has been more than four years since we met, seated side by side in that second floor classroom in Berchmans hall. When the three of us were seated in the same room, at the same time, listening to the same person be a bitch. At that point in time, it probably never crossed our mind that life would turn out like this after all these years.

I never considered you as just a friend, our trio has been more of a family the past few years, and through thick and thin, we've always stuck by each other. It's sad that we have to stand side by side, but miles away from this point on. However, this is just another obstacle in the way of accomplishing what we truly need to. Our bond was never meant to end like this; we are not going to go gentle in to that good night. Our trio will live on. And no matter what it takes, Martin Lam will find his way around here.
