FunTranscript
00:00He ordered the cheapest boxed meal in the store, but when it came time to pay, he realized he was
00:05still 10 cents short. Having not eaten all day, he pleaded with the owner to cut him some slack,
00:10offering to sing a song for everyone in return. But to his surprise, the owner looked at him with
00:15utter disdain, tossed the meal into the dish sink, and would rather throw it away as trash than let
00:21him take a single bite. With no choice, he pocketed his coins and left in embarrassment,
00:25though his heart was filled with bitterness. All because James was a homeless man. In this
00:30indifferent society, no one spared him a shred of respect. That night, he could only keep rummaging
00:37through garbage bins, hoping to find something barely edible to fill his stomach. But fate hadn't
00:43completely abandoned him. The next day, while singing on the street, James spotted his father,
00:48Jack, shopping across the road. He hurried over to greet him.
00:51Dad? Dad? Hey, Dad. What are you doing here?
00:58In truth, Jack had already noticed James, but he quickened his pace, pretending not to see.
01:04James realized this too, yet still approached him with a forced smile, making the atmosphere
01:09painfully awkward. But faced with the rare chance of a full meal, James wasn't going to let the
01:15opportunity slip away. Just as he was about to speak, his stepmother, Hillary, appeared at that
01:20very moment. Coming together, Christmas dinner. Right, Dad?
01:25Well, I wish we'd known. Unfortunately, our tables fall so...
01:28Always room for one more at Christmas.
01:30For a brief moment, his father's guilt flickered. But to Hillary, James was nothing more than a
01:36disease. His very presence made her uncomfortable. Any thought of a family Christmas gathering was
01:41simply out of the question. Perhaps out of guilt, Jack slipped James a bill before leaving,
01:46adding a polite remark. Maybe New Year's, okay?
01:52But that casual remark ignited a spark of hope in James. He believed his father was simply embarrassed
01:58to invite him in front of Hillary. If he took the initiative, maybe he could join them for Christmas
02:03dinner after all. Looking at the warm and cozy house, James saw that his father now had two more
02:08daughters. He couldn't help but feel envious. With gifts in hand and hope in his heart, he knocked on
02:14the door. Jack's face was a mix of discomfort and helplessness. But on New Year's Eve, how could he
02:23possibly kick his own son out? Unfortunately, his stepsisters had no intention of being polite to this
02:29uninvited guest.
02:30And Mommy doesn't like you. Mommy says you're a junkie.
02:33The once festive atmosphere quickly descended into chaos. With more guests arriving soon, Jack had no choice but to
02:40ask James to leave. James knew it was time to go before things got even worse. He returned to his tiny
02:46shelter, alone. But the next moment, a strange noise echoed. It sounded like someone had broken in through the
02:52window. James knew all too well what kind of people lurked around these shelters. In desperation, people could do
02:59anything. He shouted loudly toward the bathroom, warning that he was armed and dangerous. In truth, aside from his guitar,
03:06he didn't even have a kitchen knife. He could only grab his worn-out shoe as a weapon, cautiously moving toward the
03:12bedroom. Yet the noise came again, this time from behind. Without hesitation, James dashed into the kitchen, ready to fight
03:19for his life. But as his eyes scanned the room, it was empty. It was all a false alarm. It turned out the intruder was a
03:27hungry cat that had slipped in through the kitchen window and was devouring James' last bit of cereal.
03:32Despite its stray appearance, the cat was surprisingly friendly. James, unable to resist its charm, didn't chase
03:39it away. Instead, he poured his last bottle of milk into a bowl, letting the cat enjoy a decent meal. He knew all too
03:46well what it meant to be starving. That night, in the long hours of solitude, James was grateful for the tiny, wandering
03:53life keeping him company. But deep down, he thought, surely someone must be waiting for this cat to return
03:59home. Guiding it back out, he was surprised when the cat lingered, reluctant to leave.
04:04One night, okay?
04:07All right.
04:09It purred contentedly as James strummed his guitar. The song tinged with melancholy and sadness. When the tune ended, James
04:17said goodnight to the cat and retreated to his bedroom. Quietly, the cat climbed onto his bed, and
04:23together, man and cat endured the long, cold night. The next morning, James carried the cat around the
04:31shelter area, asking if anyone had lost it. But the answers were all the same. People here struggled to
04:37survive themselves. Who could afford to keep a cat? James realized that the cat was a stray. Though he had
04:43grown fond of it, James chose to let it go. He was no different from anyone else here, barely scraping by
04:50with no means to care for a pet. But what James didn't know was that this seemingly ordinary cat was
04:55about to change his broken life. That day, nothing went right. He had just found a good spot to sing
05:02when security shooed him away, claiming he was a safety and health hazard. After a whole day's effort,
05:07James had barely earned a few coins. He returned home, feeling utterly dejected, only to find the
05:14cat had been waiting for him all along, with fresh, bleeding wounds on its body. He rushed to wrap the
05:19cat in his jacket, but with no one around, he didn't know who to turn to. Wait, I have a hurt cat here.
05:26Luckily, a girl named Betty, also living in the shelter, offered her help. Though she lived there
05:32as well, her room was decorated with such care and charm that it didn't resemble the home of someone
05:38struggling to make ends meet. After a quick check, Betty confirmed the cat needed a hospital.
05:43It sounds expensive.
05:45Can you put a price on that?
05:47Oh, no, no, he's not my cat. I mean, I just found him. I think it's like a stray or... I don't know.
05:53He is telling me he was put here to be with you, reading his spirit loud and clear.
05:59Yeah. He came to you for a reason.
06:02Knowing James had no money, she recommended a charity veterinary clinic that could treat the cat for free.
06:08Betty had many other rescued animals, but ironically, she was allergic to fur despite loving them dearly.
06:14In their casual conversation, they gave the cat a name, Bob.
06:18James rushed Bob to the hospital, only to find a long line of animals waiting for treatment.
06:22He waited for several hours, missing the peak time for street busking, which meant another night of going to bed hungry.
06:30Thankfully, even as a charity, the doctors took their work seriously, and Bob cooperated perfectly through his treatment.
06:37However, when it came time to get the medicine, James was stuck.
06:41The treatment was free, but the medication was expensive.
06:44He needed to pay for at least a week's supply or Bob wouldn't recover.
06:47James emptied his pockets of every coin he had, begging the receptionist for help, but it was clearly impossible.
06:55Left with no choice, he pulled out the large bill his father had given him.
06:59Looking at Bob in his arms, James finally handed over the money.
07:02But having never owned a pet, James had no idea how to give medicine to a cat.
07:07In his panic, not only did he fail, but he almost got bitten by the frightened Bob.
07:12Fortunately, in Betty's skilled hands, Bob swallowed the pill obediently.
07:17Even his neutering surgery went smoothly.
07:19Through Bob, James and Betty gradually grew closer.
07:23They began to ask each other how they had ended up here.
07:26Betty didn't go into details, but she said she hated addicts the most.
07:30There were too many of them in the shelter.
07:32How did you end up here?
07:33I'm a musician.
07:35I write songs and play.
07:37Yeah?
07:37Yeah, I haven't exactly been discovered yet.
07:40James told her his parents divorced when he was very young.
07:43At 17, with nothing but a guitar and big dreams, he left Australia for the UK, hoping to pursue music and reconnect with his father.
07:51But reality was harsh, and he ended up sleeping on the streets.
07:55Though these words were true, James still lied.
07:58He was indeed a street musician.
08:00But the real reason his father rejected him, why his stepmother avoided him,
08:04and why he couldn't hold a proper job was because James was an addict, the worst kind among the homeless.
08:11He used substances to numb his failures, pushing away family and work alike.
08:16Even though he always said he wanted to quit, whenever his friend Baz brought out that stuff,
08:20he couldn't resist falling back into the abyss.
08:23The next day, the police found James passed out in an unlocked car, the same place they had snuck into the night before.
08:30Baz ran off, leaving James behind.
08:32When James woke up again, he found himself staring at a familiar ceiling.
08:37This wasn't the first time.
08:39His apologies, full of regret and frustration, were words Val had heard countless times.
08:46She told James that if it ever happened again, it would cost him his life.
08:50Val, a doctor, had never given up on James.
08:54Even when everyone else had, she still believed in him,
08:56because in his songs, in that patched-up guitar he refused to sell even when starving,
09:01she saw a glimmer of hope.
09:03Despite his constant relapses, Val helped him secure a spot in a charity shelter.
09:08There, James had a soft couch, endless hot water, and finally, a roof over his head.
09:14And now, he also had Bob.
09:16James told Val everything about Bob and Betty, but Val wasn't pleased.
09:20She reminded him that emotional entanglements were dangerous.
09:24Too much too soon could throw James off balance.
09:27Val was right.
09:28What James needed most was stability, weekly checkups, and medication adherence.
09:32The shelter provided safety, but also temptations.
09:36A single lapse could drag James back into the darkness.
09:39The next day, James set out with his guitar to busk, but Bob insisted on following him.
09:45James grumbled, telling Bob to stay in the complex.
09:47He couldn't sing and watch the cat at the same time.
09:50But Bob sneaked onto the bus at the last second.
09:53Passengers were immediately charmed by the cute cat, reaching out to pet him.
09:57Bob, not seeing James, darted upstairs and jumped right into his arms,
10:01left with no choice.
10:03James took Bob along to the city center.
10:06A kind bus conductor even gave him a shoelace.
10:08Using it along with his own, James fashioned a makeshift leash.
10:12It was simple, but it symbolized that Bob was no longer a stray.
10:16To keep Bob from running wild, James let him climb onto his shoulder.
10:20Their unique look quickly attracted a crowd.
10:23People stopped to pet Bob, take photos, and children were especially drawn to the adorable cat.
10:28Because of Bob, street performing turned into a real show, with more and more people gathering around.
10:34Unsurprisingly, they earned a lot that day.
10:37James and Bob celebrated with a high five.
10:40Hunger would be a thing of the past.
10:42At that moment, an elderly woman walked over.
10:45Mine would leave my side to his last breath.
10:48You've got yourself a lifelong partner there.
10:50Better friends than people they are.
10:52Believe me.
10:54Her words confirmed to James that Bob was truly the miracle in his life.
10:58All of this was seen by Baz from the shadows.
11:01As night fell, James enjoyed the most lavish dinner he'd had in years.
11:05He even bought Bob a brand new leash.
11:07But the next morning, as soon as James stepped out, he ran into Baz, who had been waiting.
11:12Come on, anything.
11:14They had a bit of hard lines, man.
11:18James, please.
11:20Please, please.
11:21James wanted to refuse him.
11:23But remembering their past, he gave Baz his largest bill, begging him to buy food, not anything else.
11:30He knew if Baz used the money wrong, it would be his downfall.
11:34Christmas Eve arrived and more and more people came to see James and Bob.
11:37He no longer worried about daily survival.
11:39The elderly lady even prepared a Christmas gift for Bob.
11:43A beautiful new scarf.
11:45Everything seemed to be getting better.
11:48James slowly regained the confidence he had lost long ago.
11:51With newfound courage, he invited Betty to Christmas Eve dinner.
11:55Betty happily accepted it was destined to be a warm night.
11:59Life must be good.
12:00Yeah, well, it feels like I'm joining the real world after all these years, you know.
12:04Meaning?
12:05Oh, just, um...
12:06Though James almost slipped up, remembering Betty's hatred of addicts, he decided to keep his past a secret.
12:13He planned to hold on until he truly turned his life around, letting his shameful past fade away.
12:19To prepare for Christmas the next day, James bought plenty of canned fish for Bob and a bouquet of flowers for Betty.
12:25He was falling for Betty without even realizing it.
12:27But on the way home, James saw something he least wanted to see.
12:32Baz was collapsed on the ground, surrounded by scattered syringes.
12:36Baz, wake up. Can somebody call an ambulance?
12:38Call an ambulance.
12:39They're on the way.
12:40Baz.
12:41Baz, come on.
12:42Wake up.
12:43Hearing his cry for help, Betty rushed over.
12:46Without hesitation, she directed James to call an ambulance and immediately performed CPR on Baz.
12:52Her swift actions showed this wasn't her first time.
12:55Unfortunately, despite the ambulance arriving as quickly as possible, Baz couldn't be saved.
13:01Betty saw the question in James' eyes and decided not to hide anymore.
13:05Her brother had once been an addict, too.
13:07Her brother had always been everything to Betty, and the paintings hanging in her room were all his work.
13:12He was Betty's teacher, protector, and mentor.
13:16They were the closest of siblings, but were separated forever because of illicit substances.
13:21Since then, Betty had hated every addict.
13:25Not for what they did to themselves, but for how they hurt everyone who loved them.
13:29Her words left James completely shaken.
13:31He didn't want to die.
13:33He didn't want to betray Betty's love.
13:35He didn't want to lose Bob or the fragile happiness he had finally found.
13:39The next day, James rushed to find Val.
13:43But Val knew that the more anxious he was, the less likely he'd succeed.
13:48She told him to be patient and wait until after Christmas to make a proper plan.
13:52James and Betty spent Christmas together.
13:54Without money for a Christmas tree, they decorated a floor lamp with colorful streamers instead.
13:59James gave Betty a bracelet.
14:01Not expensive, even a little cheap, but Betty loved it.
14:04Of course, there was also a gift for Bob.
14:06And of course, her brother's paintings were an essential part.
14:11Betty, who couldn't sing, softly hummed along as James strummed his guitar.
14:16Sitting by the river at sunset, James had the impulse to kiss Betty.
14:20But in the end, they simply held each other's hands tightly.
14:24On Betty's wrist was a tattoo of her brother's name.
14:27A bittersweet memory of happiness and eternal regret.
14:31That evening, James cleaned himself up and made a bold decision.
14:34Since Bob was so well-loved, he would bring Bob to his father's house for Christmas Eve.
14:39But as fate would have it, both of his half-sisters were allergic to cat fur.
14:44Chris, leave it!
14:45Oh, poor Mary.
14:46Happy New Year.
14:47But she's allergic!
14:48I know!
14:49The moment Bob entered, their screams sent him running in a panic.
14:53In the chaos, James accidentally shattered his stepmother's cherished vase,
14:57and the Christmas tree, covered in starry lights, came crashing down.
15:02Christmas Eve was ruined by James and Bob, forcing them to leave in embarrassment.
15:06But that was only the beginning of James' misfortunes.
15:09On New Year's Day, James went back to busking as usual.
15:13A large dog approached silently, clearly with bad intentions.
15:17James quickly shielded Bob and stepped back, hoping the owner would control his pet.
15:21But to his shock, the owner let the dog urinate directly on James' backpack in front of everyone.
15:26Even the bystanders couldn't bear to watch.
15:29But the thug felt provoked.
15:31As the situation escalated, the two sides quickly came to blows,
15:35while James could only hold on to Bob tightly.
15:38Luckily, the police arrived in time, and neither James nor Bob were hurt.
15:42The surveillance footage proved that James wasn't at fault.
15:45But because of his status, he was still banned from busking on the streets for six months.
15:50Yet none of that mattered to James.
15:52He only cared if Bob was safe.
15:53Without his medication on time, James' emotions teetered on the edge of collapse.
15:59He rushed into a pharmacy, gulping down his pills desperately,
16:02unaware that Betty was standing behind him.
16:04When he turned around, James froze.
16:06Betty knew exactly what kind of pills those were.
16:09Around addicts.
16:10I told you that.
16:11It's just, it's too much.
16:13I can't do it.
16:14And I wasn't shading the truth.
16:16James explained that he lost control only because he wanted to protect Bob.
16:19He had to get back to Bob immediately.
16:22But he missed the point.
16:23Without busking, he had no income.
16:25How would he survive the next six months?
16:27To get through the coming days,
16:29James found a job selling newspapers at a street stand through Val's recommendation.
16:34The job had only one rule.
16:35Never sell papers on someone else's turf, or he'd be fired immediately.
16:39As it turned out, Bob was James' lucky charm.
16:43Whether busking or selling newspapers,
16:45the unique sight of a man with a cat on his shoulder attracted people instantly.
16:49For just a small amount of money,
16:50passersby could take a photo with Bob and get a free magazine.
16:53Who could resist?
16:54One day, a reporter noticed James and Bob snapped a photo,
16:57and their story made the news.
16:59But James' fate was never smooth.
17:01The old-timers at the newspaper stand envied his success.
17:05One day, as James passed by their territory,
17:07Bob's fans eagerly came up for photos asking to buy a magazine.
17:12James, knowing the rules,
17:13kindly asked them to purchase from the stand's regular vendor.
17:16But the fans didn't care, slipping money into James' pocket anyway.
17:20That was all the excuse his rivals needed.
17:22Though the supervisor knew the real story,
17:24she had to make an example of James to appease the old staff.
17:28And so, James was banned from selling papers for another month.
17:32Trouble kept piling up, and James lost all sources of income.
17:35With no other choice, he had to ration the little food he had,
17:39sharing a single can with Bob.
17:40Three meals became two, sometimes only one.
17:43And on some days, nothing at all.
17:46Occasionally, he would find a few coins in a phone booth,
17:49or line up early to receive a charity meal.
17:51But the coins kept getting fewer and fewer.
17:53A month that used to pass in a blink now felt endlessly long.
17:57If it were just him going hungry, James could endure it.
18:00But seeing Bob endure hunger broke James' heart.
18:03Desperate, James took risks.
18:05Busking in subway corners, hidden alleyways,
18:08anywhere the police might not catch him.
18:10When Betty heard that James had ignored the rules and gone back to busking,
18:14she was both angry and heartbroken,
18:17not knowing how to deal with the mess in front of her.
18:19What am I supposed to do?
18:20How am I supposed to eat?
18:21I don't know.
18:22I don't know.
18:23What do you want me to do?
18:24Just erase the last 20 years of my life and start over?
18:27I don't know.
18:28Oh, what if I could?
18:29Do you know who shouts like this in public?
18:32Junkies do.
18:33And the people who fall in love with them, that's who.
18:35Neither James nor Betty had ever imagined that their first confession to each other
18:39would happen in such a way.
18:41Both of them struggled to calm down,
18:43unable to find the courage to face each other again.
18:46Finally, after a long month, James got his job back.
18:50As more and more people started to pay attention,
18:52the media took notice of them as well,
18:54including Mary, the editor of a publishing house,
18:57who often supported him during his busking performances.
19:01One day, a well-dressed woman approached asking if she could adopt Bob.
19:05She promised a better environment, better conditions, and better food.
19:08More importantly, she said her son adored Bob,
19:12and if necessary, she could pay.
19:15Every word she spoke carried thinly-veiled contempt for James,
19:18treating Bob like a commodity.
19:20James couldn't bear it and snapped back with the same cold tone.
19:24The woman's face instantly darkened.
19:26She slammed James' magazines to the ground.
19:28The loud noise startled Bob, who leapt from James' shoulder in fright.
19:32In the midst of the busy traffic, dangers lurked everywhere,
19:35and a dog was still chasing after Bob.
19:37James rushed to stop him, but was a step too late.
19:40This city was too big.
19:42James searched everywhere, asking around from day to night.
19:45But Bob was nowhere to be found.
19:47Val advised James not to be alone during this time.
19:50Losing control could drag him back to his old ways.
19:52She also told him to prepare for the possibility that Bob might never return.
19:56After all, some things in life appear out of nowhere and vanish just as suddenly.
20:01In the following days, James couldn't bring himself to work.
20:03He was restless, and the temptations outside seemed to be calling out to him.
20:08One night, lost in a daze, James approached those familiar dangers,
20:13tempted to drown out his pain.
20:14But at the last moment, he stopped.
20:17A ginger cat.
20:18Have you seen it anywhere?
20:20He almost fell back into the abyss.
20:22When he returned home and looked back, there was Bob, waiting patiently.
20:26The miracle of reunion moved James deeply.
20:29He silently vowed never to part with Bob again.
20:31The next day, James resolutely went to the clinic, fully prepared to stop his medication.
20:36Betty warned him to be ready.
20:38It would be like the worst flu of his life.
20:40Only a hundred times worse.
20:42Every minute would be a battle against himself.
20:44But if he could survive a week, he'd see the light.
20:47For the old James, this sounded impossible.
20:51But James told Val that, because of Bob,
20:54even those who once looked down on him now called him Bob's owner, with respect.
20:58No one had ever called him Sir before.
21:01Bob had shown him another side of life.
21:03Finally, James stood before Betty's door.
21:06He knew she was inside.
21:07She knew exactly what the next few days would bring.
21:11As James turned to leave, Betty opened the door.
21:14She told him to stock up on food.
21:16Any excuse to go out could be a trap.
21:18If needed, she would bring him meals and lock his door herself.
21:22But James refused.
21:23He didn't want Betty to see him at his worst.
21:26Besides, he had Bob to keep him in check.
21:28As Val said, the process was much harder than James had imagined.
21:32At first, he distracted himself with his guitar, fiddling with rubber bands.
21:36But unlike internet or alcohol addiction, this was not just a mental struggle.
21:40It was even more a physical torment.
21:42It felt like he was riding a bike non-stop.
21:45Even lying down, his legs wouldn't straighten.
21:47His body and mind teetered on the edge of collapse with constant nausea, vomiting, and hallucinations.
21:53His senses dulled.
21:55Hot or cold?
21:56He couldn't tell the difference.
21:57In addition, there were the uncontrollable wails, as if consumed by raging fire, yet also like drowning in a deep, endless abyss.
22:07Even as James, half-crazed, threw things at the walls, Bob stayed by his side, watching quietly.
22:13His silent presence was both a companion and a constant reminder.
22:17Then, on an ordinary morning, James woke up.
22:20The sunlight that day felt different, warmer, brighter.
22:24With Bob curled in his arms, James lifted his head and saw a new glimpse of life.
22:30Val was proud of him.
22:32They hugged tightly.
22:33Perhaps Val, too, carried unspeakable pain deep inside, which was why she devoted herself to this special kind of work.
22:40But James had finally found his way through the fog.
22:43He wanted to share the good news with Betty, but found a moving truck parked outside her home.
22:47Going home for a while.
22:49Hi.
22:50I can't stay here.
22:52Stop my life.
22:55It was my brother's, and I need to move on.
22:59Betty was genuinely happy for James, thanking him sincerely, because it was James who had helped her walk out of her own shadows.
23:06James was afraid, afraid this goodbye might be their last.
23:10Before parting, Betty gave him a handmade gift.
23:13She also gave James her home address and phone number, letting him know he was always welcome to visit her.
23:18The third person James wanted to see was his father.
23:21He had no other requests.
23:22He simply wanted his father to know and to apologize for the past.
23:26Unexpectedly, his father's eyes filled with tears.
23:29He pulled out a worn, yellowed photo from his wallet.
23:33It was a picture of James as a child.
23:35The photo was crumpled, creased from being carried for years.
23:38I didn't give up on you.
23:41I'm the one who needs to apologize.
23:45No.
23:46Jack, what are you doing out there?
23:48I'm talking to my son.
23:51And my grandson.
23:52Soon after, Mary approached James with a proposal.
23:56They planned to publish a book telling the story of James and Bob, an almost impossible miracle meant to inspire and heal others facing hardships.
24:05In the winter of 2012, a street cat named Bob became a global sensation, selling over a million copies and being translated into 25 languages.
24:14From that moment, James and Bob no longer had to perform on the streets.
24:18They finally found happiness and stability.
24:21Everything James had once lost returned to him in a different form.
24:24But what made this story truly precious was that it was based on real events.
24:29At the end of the film, the real James appeared on screen.
24:32And Bob, being Bob, played himself throughout the entire movie.
24:36The director had tried six other cats' stand-ins, but none could match Bob.
24:42Bob remained loyally perched on James' shoulder, traveling the world.
24:46And together, they worked to raise awareness for homelessness and animal welfare.
24:50Everyone who witnessed or heard their story was deeply moved, often to tears.
24:55Videos of their street performances captured by passersby spread widely across the internet.
25:00But life is always fleeting.
25:02In June 2020, Bob tragically passed away in an accident.
25:07Upon hearing the news, the government honored Bob with a bronze statue in Islington Green, London.
25:13James was devastated, unable to accept the loss.
25:16Once again, he stood at a crossroads in life.
25:19A hungry, frail, stray cat.
25:23A man who had lost all hope.
25:25Some say Bob used his 13 years of life to change the course of James' destiny.
25:29But didn't James also spend 13 years ensuring that Bob would never be astray again?
25:35He was a homeless man, but his cat was not.
25:37James was both an unfortunate and a fortunate man.
25:40His troubled childhood led him astray, but his kindness and refusal to give up pushed him toward a new life.
25:47That year, he didn't just rescue a kitten.
25:50He saved a frightened child curled up in a corner, lost after making mistakes.
25:54He appeared on the darkest days of your life, when no one believed in you.
25:59He didn't care about your appearance, your money, your past, your mistakes, or your future.
26:04He simply stayed by your side, without crying, without smiling, without making a sound.
26:09And suddenly, life seemed to shift.
26:12People started to greet you, applaud for you, stop for you, even feel sorrow for you.
26:18You thought he was a messenger from heaven.
26:19You thought your life had been forgiven.
26:23But in truth, you had simply given yourself a chance.
26:27A chance for the part of you that, no matter how bad things were, still longed for a better future.
26:32A chance that was always within reach.
26:34A chance for the first day so much.
26:55A chance for the last day.
26:56A chance for the first day.
27:00I'll see you soon.
27:01Bye.
27:02Bye-bye.
27:03Bye.
