00:00Hi, I'm Layla, and yep, that's me in the front row of a gala, seconds before I betrayed my best friend and almost ruined his life.
00:09But before we get to all that, please, make sure to like and subscribe.
00:14Ever since I was little, I've been a lot to handle, or at least that's what I've been told, by my mom, Layla, by my dad,
00:22Layla!
00:25I, well, any adult, really. But really, I'm just always trying to do the right thing. And sometimes, that gets me in trouble.
00:33That's why my parents sent me to Woodmere Academy to begin with. That and other reasons.
00:41It's only the fifth-ranked preparatory school in the country, but heavens, no one else will take you, no matter how much money we throw their way.
00:48Good grief, Layla. How will you replace your father as CEO of Idrizitech if you keep up with these morality plays?
00:55Woodmere was supposedly elite, but to me, it was just like every other rich kid cesspool my parents plopped me into.
01:02Complete with snobby, entitled lookalikes who wore the same navy blazer and walked the halls like the world owed them a standing ovation just for showing up.
01:11You think you belong here? You're just a poor, worthless...
01:15Funny you think he doesn't belong here, when your dad basically had to donate a wing to get your sorry butt in here.
01:22The scholarship kid ran, but Milo's ego didn't.
01:26You're gonna regret that. My family basically runs this school. I'm untouchable.
01:32Cool. But are you waterproof?
01:35Huh?
01:35I bent down and turned the knob on a nearby sprinkler, which aimed straight at Milo and sprayed water all over him.
01:43Some other kids watching us laughed.
01:45Fifteen minutes later, I found myself in a familiar place, the headmaster's office.
01:51Do you think drenching a student with irrigation equipment is leadership material, Miss Idrizite?
01:58I don't think threatening a kid with a lacrosse stick is exactly student-of-the-month behavior, either.
02:03That student of the month is my grandson.
02:07Of course he is.
02:09Which is why you're not just suspended. You're expelled.
02:14Wait, no, please. If I get expelled, my parents will actually disown me.
02:19You don't understand. I'm supposed to be the next CEO of Idrizitech!
02:22As the school door slammed shut behind me, along with, you know, my future, I did the only thing a girl with no options and rapidly shrinking inheritance could do.
02:33I walked home. Every step was basically a countdown to whatever fresh nightmare my parents had waiting for me.
02:40Mom? Dad?
02:42Pack your bags.
02:43Immediately. Wait, you already know?
02:46You bet we do.
02:48You got accepted to Adventna Academy!
02:51I am so sorry, I...
02:54Wait, what?
02:55It's the number one school in the country. Looks like they changed their mind.
02:59Wow! So you're not mad about the sprinkler?
03:02The what?
03:03Nothing. When do we leave?
03:05Apparently, we were leaving that night.
03:07No time to overthink it, no time to sabotage it.
03:10Just a suitcase and a second chance that, let's face it, I totally deserved.
03:15And when we got there, my jaw almost dropped.
03:20Adventna made every other fancy school I'd ever been kicked out of look like a daycare run by raccoons.
03:26I waved goodbye to Mom and Dad and approached the doors with a fresh start in mind and a promise in my heart.
03:33But as soon as I walked through the doors...
03:35Layla Idrissi to the Headmaster's office immediately.
03:38Oh, what now?
03:40I hadn't so much as I rolled at anyone, and I was already in trouble?
03:44I braced myself as I entered the Headmaster's office.
03:47But something felt different this time.
03:50For one, the Headmaster was smiling.
03:53Ah, Miss Idrissi. Welcome to Edvina. I'm Headmaster Quinlan.
04:00Hi.
04:01Don't worry. You're not in trouble. Not yet, anyway.
04:05We brought you here for a very specific reason.
04:09Let's call it an assignment.
04:12What kind of assignment?
04:14One that requires your particular talents.
04:18Quick thinking, initiative, a healthy disregard for rules.
04:23Wow. Most schools just call that detention.
04:27Here, we call it useful.
04:30But if you mess this up, we will expel you.
04:35So, no pressure.
04:38He kept going on about some top-secret mission.
04:41About how the only reason I was at Edvina was to follow someone with as little contact as possible
04:47and await instructions for my next steps.
04:50Then, he slid a manila envelope across the desk like we were in some low-budget spy movie.
04:56I expected a photo of a criminal mastermind.
04:58Maybe a hacker. A ninja.
05:00At the very least, someone with a scar or an eye patch.
05:03But nope. It was Louis Block.
05:06A kid so aggressively average, he practically faded into the folder.
05:10Brown hair, brown eyes, scrawny.
05:14You could lose them in a crowd of two.
05:16And yet, that was my mission.
05:18Follow Louis.
05:20So I did.
05:21And at first, everything about him was even more ordinary than I'd expected.
05:25He was the quietest kid in class.
05:27He didn't eat with anyone.
05:29Even his locker code was 1234.
05:32But because he was allergic to attention,
05:34he actually turned out to be weirdly hard to follow.
05:37After all, we couldn't both sit in the back row and pretend to be invisible.
05:42And there's only so much space between the vending machine and the science wing.
05:46But in all that solo stealth mode,
05:48there was exactly one group activity where he appeared to be somewhat comfortable.
05:53The chess club.
05:54A place so mind-numbingly dull that it made math class feel like a rock concert.
05:59And, thanks to this seemingly pointless mission,
06:02I guess that's how I'm going to be spending my afternoon.
06:05Pawn to be for.
06:07Before what, though?
06:09I watched as Louis moved a pawn,
06:11then another pawn,
06:12then the horse one,
06:13whatever it's called.
06:15Riveting stuff.
06:17But then, his opponent leaned back,
06:19grinning like he just solved world hunger.
06:21Check me!
06:22Again!
06:23Well, Louis,
06:25did you just come here to be reminded about what a loser you are?
06:28Man, even in chess club he was an easy target.
06:32My brain was screaming,
06:34stay out of it,
06:35observe,
06:35don't blow your cover!
06:37But my instincts,
06:38they already stood up.
06:40Did you just come here to forget that your mom cut your hair with a weed whacker?
06:43And out of the corner of my eye,
06:51I saw Louis do something I hadn't seen him do all week.
06:55He smiled.
06:56After the three-hour chess club that felt like three years,
07:00I felt a tap on my shoulder.
07:02And when I turned around,
07:03it was him.
07:04Hey, thanks.
07:06You can talk?
07:07Uh, I mean,
07:08yeah,
07:08no sweat.
07:10And just like that,
07:11we started chatting.
07:12Nothing dramatic,
07:13nothing spy-worthy.
07:15But for the first time since I got here,
07:17it didn't feel like an assignment.
07:19It felt...
07:20normal.
07:21Actually,
07:22it turns out,
07:23we had a lot in common.
07:24My parents put so much pressure on me.
07:26I figure it's better for my future to keep a low profile.
07:29You probably wouldn't understand.
07:31Oh, trust me.
07:32I do.
07:33Maybe he was just a regular guy after all.
07:36But as we talked more often,
07:38I started noticing something unique about Louis.
07:41He had a knack for expressing himself in a way that was poetic.
07:45So you always eat alone?
07:47Mostly.
07:48But sometimes the birds show up.
07:50They all swoop down for the crumbs,
07:52pecking at them like it's their last meal on Earth.
07:55Yet somehow,
07:56they always leave enough for each other.
07:58And I think that's kind of beautiful.
08:00Yeah, it kind of is.
08:03Even his voice had this magnetic pull.
08:06Like there was something musical about him.
08:09And over the next few days,
08:10my whole just observe and report strategy
08:13kind of crumbled.
08:15I told myself I was keeping things professional.
08:17That staying close to Louis was just part of the mission.
08:20But the truth,
08:21we were becoming friends.
08:23Real ones.
08:24He was also weirdly funny.
08:26In that dry, blink-and-you-miss-it way.
08:29And he could quote MSA videos like they were Shakespeare.
08:32Which, let's be honest,
08:34is a wildly underrated skill.
08:36Why don't they teach those videos in school?
08:38I know, right?
08:40Then one afternoon,
08:41I saw him slip into a place
08:43I didn't even know students were allowed into.
08:45The old theater backstage loft.
08:47I waited for a moment,
08:49then crept in after him.
08:50And that's when I saw it.
08:52Louis, alone,
08:54tucked into the shadows
08:54with a battered violin under his chin.
08:57Playing.
08:57But not just playing.
09:00Humming, too.
09:01A soft, steady note
09:03that floated above the strings
09:04like it was made of air and magic.
09:07It was beautiful.
09:09Like,
09:09make your heart hurt kind of beautiful.
09:12And then,
09:13before I even knew what was happening,
09:15I was crying.
09:16At music.
09:17Me!
09:18Who knew I could even do that?
09:20Unfortunately,
09:21he heard my sniffles
09:22and looked directly at me.
09:24Oh,
09:24I'm so sorry.
09:25What?
09:26No,
09:26no,
09:26don't apologize.
09:27No,
09:27I'm so sorry.
09:29And before I could say anything else,
09:31he bolted.
09:32Like he'd accidentally set the building on fire
09:34with a G major chord.
09:35And I ran after him.
09:37I didn't know you could do that.
09:40No one does.
09:41I mean,
09:42they used to.
09:42But after what happened with my brother,
09:45I stopped, mostly.
09:47What do you mean?
09:48What happened?
09:49I don't know how to explain it exactly.
09:52It's like,
09:52when I play,
09:54it messes with people.
09:55Their emotions.
09:57Their
09:57insides.
09:59I don't try to do it.
10:01It just happens.
10:03He was going through something really hard.
10:05And I thought I was helping.
10:07I thought if I could just
10:08play the right notes,
10:09he'd feel better.
10:11But he didn't feel better.
10:12It just got worse.
10:14And then he...
10:17My parents sent me here after that.
10:20Said I needed a break from too much feeling,
10:23whatever that means.
10:24Suddenly,
10:25everything made sense.
10:27The quiet,
10:27the staring out of windows,
10:29the assignment in general.
10:31I wasn't just
10:31following a weird boy
10:33with a sad vibe
10:33and a violin.
10:35This was
10:35something else.
10:37Something powerful.
10:38And broken.
10:40Later that week,
10:41I got called into
10:42the headmaster's office again.
10:43Miss Idrisi,
10:45how are things progressing?
10:47With what?
10:48Oh,
10:48Louis?
10:49Uh,
10:50yep.
10:51He's just a
10:52totally normal guy.
10:53Nothing to see here.
10:55Definitely not emotionally gifted
10:56to the point of concern,
10:57if that's what you're wondering.
10:58I understand the two of you
10:59have become quite close.
11:01What?
11:02No, I...
11:03I'm the headmaster,
11:05Layla.
11:05I know exactly what happens
11:07around here.
11:08You do know
11:09about the incident
11:10involving his brother,
11:12right?
11:12I tensed up.
11:13This was going deeper
11:14than I ever could have thought.
11:16He blames himself.
11:19He hasn't spoken about it
11:20to anyone.
11:21His parents
11:22tried everything
11:23to help him out,
11:25got him the best
11:26therapist in the world.
11:27Nothing worked.
11:29But we believe
11:30his silence
11:31is part of the problem.
11:33When he plays,
11:35he connects,
11:36he releases
11:37what he's been holding in.
11:39Suppressing a gift like his
11:41is not healthy,
11:42especially
11:43when it's tied
11:44to guilt.
11:46That's where you come in.
11:47You need to help him heal, Layla.
11:51There's a gala next month.
11:53Nothing flashy,
11:54just a showcase
11:54of student work,
11:56a safe space.
11:58If Lewis were to play again,
12:00even just one song,
12:02it might be the first step
12:04back to himself.
12:06Convincing the quietest kid
12:08in the universe
12:08to sing at a fancy fundraiser?
12:10No pressure or anything.
12:12I found Lewis
12:13in his usual spot,
12:14tucked behind
12:15the music building,
12:16sitting on a chipped
12:17concrete ledge
12:17that overlooked
12:18the soccer field.
12:19Want one?
12:20The cafeteria
12:21throws them out
12:22a day before they expire.
12:23Still perfectly fine,
12:25just no longer
12:26worth the shelf space.
12:27Wait, what?
12:28That's like
12:28a criminal amount
12:30of food waste.
12:31Someone needs
12:31to stage a protest.
12:32You know what you should join?
12:33The Social Activism Club.
12:35They'd love you.
12:36Yeah, well,
12:37not sure I have time
12:37for that given my assignment.
12:39Assignment?
12:40Uh,
12:40assignments.
12:42Like,
12:42school assignments,
12:43homework tests,
12:44never mind.
12:45Anyway,
12:46you know what you should join?
12:48The roster of performers
12:49at the annual gala.
12:50Oh,
12:51no, I...
12:52Come on,
12:53I heard you play yesterday.
12:54It was...
12:54I said no,
12:55Layla.
12:59Sorry,
13:00it's just...
13:01not my thing.
13:02I should go.
13:03But,
13:03for a while,
13:05I kept trying,
13:06subtly.
13:07Isn't it weird
13:07how the word
13:08gala rhymes with
13:09voila,
13:09like a big
13:10performance reveal?
13:12Uh,
13:13sure.
13:14But,
13:14it was hopeless.
13:16I could feel my future
13:17as CEO of a
13:18crazy tech
13:18slipping through my fingers.
13:20I'd already burned
13:21through every other school
13:21worth mentioning,
13:22and the headmaster
13:23had made it clear,
13:24screw this up,
13:25and I was done for good.
13:27And if that happened,
13:28my parents
13:29would never forgive me,
13:30so,
13:31I felt like I had no choice
13:32but to do
13:33the ultimate betrayal.
13:35I signed him up
13:36for the gala anyway.
13:37And then,
13:38I told the headmaster
13:39that Louis had agreed
13:40to play.
13:41Next thing I knew,
13:42Louis wasn't just
13:43on the schedule.
13:44He was the centerpiece.
13:46They printed his name
13:47on the flyers
13:48and announced it
13:48in assembly.
13:50Was it manipulative?
13:51Yes.
13:52Did I feel bad?
13:53Also yes.
13:55But it was for his own good,
13:56right?
13:56I mean,
13:57he had to break out
13:58of his shell eventually,
13:59right?
14:00Unfortunately,
14:01he didn't see it that way.
14:04How could you
14:04do this to me?
14:05Uh,
14:06do what?
14:08Oh,
14:09please.
14:09You think just because
14:10I don't talk much
14:11means I'm stupid?
14:13I know it was you
14:13who signed me up
14:14for the gala.
14:15Thanks for reminding me
14:16why I don't trust anyone.
14:17I'd done the opposite
14:18of what I was trying to do.
14:20He wasn't coming
14:20out of his shell.
14:22He was burrowing
14:22deeper in.
14:23Thanks to me.
14:25So I went to
14:25the headmaster's office,
14:26rehearsing my confession
14:27in my head,
14:28how I pushed
14:29Louis to face
14:30far,
14:30how I'd betrayed
14:31his trust.
14:32That maybe
14:32I wasn't the right person
14:34to help him
14:34overcome his dark past.
14:36But when I reached
14:37the door,
14:37it was already
14:38cracked open.
14:39And what I heard
14:40made me freeze.
14:41Everything is
14:42right on schedule.
14:44The boy plays
14:45his little melancholy
14:47solo.
14:48The audience tears
14:49up and boom!
14:51Fifties!
14:52No,
14:53hundreds!
14:53No,
14:54thousands of dollars
14:55fall into
14:56our laps.
14:58Easy
14:59peasy.
15:00And yes,
15:01you'll get
15:01your 50%
15:02as agreed.
15:04I couldn't believe
15:06my ears.
15:07He didn't want
15:08to help
15:08Louis.
15:09He was using
15:10him for profit.
15:11And I was just
15:12a pawn in his
15:13scheme.
15:14But I'm not a pawn
15:15or one of those
15:16horse thingies.
15:18I was going to show
15:19him who he was
15:19really messing with.
15:21A queen.
15:22Chess club stuff.
15:24I sprinted to
15:25find Louis.
15:26He was sitting
15:26alone as expected.
15:29Louis!
15:31What do you want?
15:33Well, first off,
15:34to apologize.
15:35I never should have
15:36signed you up for
15:37the gala.
15:38But honestly,
15:38I swear to you,
15:39I only wanted to
15:40help.
15:41I didn't ask for
15:42help.
15:43Why does everyone
15:44keep trying to fix
15:45me?
15:46What if I'm not
15:47broken?
15:47What if I just
15:49want to be left
15:49alone?
15:50You have every
15:51right to feel
15:51that way.
15:52Then why are you
15:53here?
15:54Because something's
15:55not right.
15:56I overheard
15:56Headmaster Quinlan
15:57on the phone.
15:58He's not trying
15:59to help you.
16:00He's using you.
16:01The gala is just
16:02a cash grab.
16:03And your solo's
16:04the tearjerker.
16:05That's the plan.
16:06You suffer,
16:07and they get paid.
16:09I expected him
16:10to explode the way
16:10I was about to.
16:12But to my surprise,
16:13he didn't get angry.
16:14I guess he was
16:15too broken to
16:16even react.
16:18Of course.
16:19It tracks.
16:20I thought I was
16:21pushing you
16:21towards something
16:22good.
16:22But I got so
16:23caught up in
16:24juggling my own
16:24problems and
16:25trying to do
16:26the right thing
16:26that I guess
16:27I never asked
16:28what you wanted.
16:30Yeah,
16:31no one ever does.
16:32I'm so sorry,
16:34Louis.
16:35You know,
16:36when I first
16:37met you,
16:38something clicked
16:38in me.
16:39And I played
16:40something.
16:41Something different.
16:43What do you
16:43mean?
16:45Can I
16:46hear it?
16:47He didn't say
16:48a word,
16:48but the way
16:49he looked at me
16:50hit me harder
16:50than any note
16:52ever could.
16:53No audience,
16:54no gala,
16:55just me.
16:56I promise.
16:57To my surprise,
16:58he picked up
16:59his violin.
17:00I braced myself
17:01for another
17:01emotional gut punch.
17:03But what came out
17:04wasn't heavy or sad.
17:06It was light.
17:08And suddenly,
17:09so was I.
17:11I was grinning
17:12like an idiot,
17:13flooded with the
17:13kind of hope
17:14I hadn't felt
17:15since before
17:15I got kicked
17:16out of my
17:16first fancy school,
17:18back when I still
17:19believed the world
17:20could change.
17:21And then,
17:21through my joy,
17:22I blurted,
17:23Lois.
17:24Oh,
17:25you hated it,
17:26huh?
17:27Hated it?
17:28I've never felt
17:28so amazing
17:29in my life.
17:31Look,
17:31I know I can't
17:32get you out
17:32of performing
17:33anymore,
17:34but that doesn't
17:34mean you have
17:35to fall into
17:35their trap.
17:36If you played
17:37like that,
17:38you'll be making
17:39people feel good,
17:40including yourself.
17:42He gave me
17:42the smallest smile
17:43and left
17:44without a word.
17:45But I could tell
17:46something was
17:47shifting in him.
17:48On the night
17:48of the gala,
17:49I had no clue
17:50what to expect.
17:51Either the one
17:52person in my life
17:53I truly cared about
17:54gets exploited
17:55and traumatized
17:56even further,
17:57or he goes off
17:58script and
17:59reclaims his story,
18:01which meant
18:01I was probably
18:02getting expelled
18:03again.
18:05And then,
18:05just when I thought
18:06my bundle of nerves
18:07couldn't get
18:08more twisted,
18:09I spotted them
18:10in the audience.
18:11My parents.
18:12Guys?
18:13What are you
18:14doing here?
18:15Layla,
18:16look at you.
18:17Still enrolled.
18:18How nice.
18:19Come sit.
18:20We saved you a seat.
18:21We hear you're
18:22close with
18:22tonight's
18:23little prodigy.
18:24If getting expelled
18:25was my worst
18:26case scenario,
18:27then watching my
18:28parents' live
18:29reaction to it
18:29was the apocalypse.
18:31But as Louis
18:32made his way
18:32onto the stage,
18:33he looked
18:34unchanged
18:35in a way
18:36that made me
18:37sad.
18:38It was like
18:38the spotlight
18:39was too hot
18:40and had shriveled
18:41him back
18:41into the
18:41broken boy
18:42they all
18:43expected.
18:44And sure enough,
18:45a sad melody
18:46followed suit.
18:47As I looked
18:47around,
18:48I could see
18:49the audience
18:49tearing up,
18:50dabbing eyes,
18:52sniffles
18:52everywhere.
18:53And right on cue,
18:55Headmaster Quinlan
18:56started slinking
18:57between rows,
18:58smiling and
18:59collecting checks
19:00like it was
19:00church.
19:01As I watched
19:02Louis crumble,
19:03I expected,
19:04as always,
19:04for my body
19:05to move
19:06before my mind
19:07had a chance
19:07to think.
19:08But for once,
19:09I paused.
19:10It was my decision
19:11now.
19:12I could sit there
19:13and be the good girl
19:14everyone wanted me
19:15to be,
19:15or I could stand up
19:18and be me.
19:19You're amazing,
19:20Louis!
19:20I believe in you!
19:22Louis froze
19:23mid-note.
19:24As the wealthiest
19:25people in the country
19:26stared me down,
19:27I still stood firm.
19:29And then,
19:30like he just remembered
19:31who he was,
19:32Louis' lips
19:33twitched into a smile.
19:34And suddenly,
19:36the music changed.
19:37It became lighter,
19:39happier,
19:40and the audience,
19:41they forgot all about me.
19:43In fact,
19:44they actually started dancing.
19:46Headmaster Quinlan's donations
19:47became an afterthought.
19:49And just as I was ready
19:50to start joining the dancing...
19:52Layla,
19:53what have you done?
19:54Huh?
19:55What do you mean?
19:56The donations are stopping.
19:58Do you know what that means
19:59for the company?
20:00This was supposed
20:01to be a proof of concept
20:02for investors
20:03for our latest tech.
20:05Emotional music activation.
20:07You've ruined it.
20:08Make it stop.
20:10And it dawned on me.
20:11The person on the other side
20:13of the phone call
20:13with the headmaster
20:14was my father.
20:16I...
20:17But I...
20:18How do you think
20:19you got into this school
20:20in the first place?
20:21You had one task.
20:23Now we'll never be able
20:23to convince the board
20:24to make you CEO.
20:26No!
20:26Wait!
20:27I can...
20:27But I couldn't finish
20:29the sentence.
20:29I looked up at Louis
20:31and saw something
20:32I almost never saw
20:33in myself.
20:35True joy.
20:36And then,
20:37I remembered
20:38what he'd said to me.
20:39No one ever asks
20:40what I want.
20:42Did I even want
20:43to be the CEO
20:44of some big tech company?
20:46I realized
20:47the answer was no.
20:49If Louis could find
20:50his voice,
20:51then maybe I could too.
20:53You know what?
20:54Fine.
20:55Find another CEO.
20:57Layla,
20:57you don't mean that.
20:58Stop telling me
21:00what I mean.
21:01I don't want
21:02to be the CEO
21:03of Idrisi Tech.
21:04I want to work
21:05on something
21:05that helps people,
21:06not manipulate them.
21:08Now,
21:08if you'll excuse me,
21:10I have some dancing
21:11to do.
21:12I walked toward
21:13the front of the stage
21:13feeling more alive
21:15than I ever had.
21:16For a second,
21:17Louis looked up
21:18mid-note
21:19and our eyes locked.
21:20I didn't know
21:21what the future held,
21:22but I knew one thing.
21:24Unlike so much
21:25in our lives,
21:26we'd earned
21:27this moment.
21:28The next morning,
21:29I was called
21:30into the headmaster's office
21:31and I was rehearsing
21:33my speech
21:33to talk my way
21:34out of expulsion,
21:35but I walked in
21:36to find
21:36Headmaster Quinlan
21:37looking weirdly ashamed.
21:40You're not
21:41being expelled.
21:43I blinked.
21:44But your parents
21:44said if you
21:46wanted to
21:47transfer
21:48to any school
21:50of your choice,
21:51they'd support it.
21:52I didn't know
21:53what shocked
21:54me anymore.
21:55That I was
21:56still enrolled
21:56or that they
21:57actually cared
21:58about what
21:59I wanted.
22:00Maybe,
22:01for once,
22:02they were trying.
22:03Thanks,
22:04but I think
22:05I'll stay here.
22:06I hear there's a
22:07social activism club
22:08that may need
22:09some help.
22:10I walked out
22:10of the office
22:11towards Louis,
22:12who was waiting
22:12for me down
22:13the hallway.
22:14Still enrolled?
22:15Shocking,
22:16I know.
22:17You were kind
22:17of amazing
22:18last night.
22:19Kind of?
22:20Wow.
22:21Stop.
22:22I'm blushing.
22:23He suddenly
22:23stopped walking
22:24and looked at me,
22:25more sure of himself
22:26than ever before.
22:28I'm really glad
22:29you followed me.
22:31Yeah,
22:31me too.
22:32Turns out,
22:33I didn't need
22:34a mission
22:34to save someone.
22:36I just needed
22:36to stop chasing
22:37who I was supposed
22:38to be,
22:39and finally start
22:40choosing who I
22:41wanted to be.
22:42And maybe,
22:43for the first time
22:44in forever,
22:45that was enough.
22:47That was enough.
23:15If we had to
23:15talk to you
23:15with the negative
