00:00On New Year's Eve, after being blinded in an accident three years ago, I finally regained my sight.
00:15Overwhelmed with joy, I rushed out without a second thought, eager to tell my boyfriend and best friend the good
00:21news at once, so they would no longer have to worry about me.
00:24I had to tell them. Dryson, Willow, they had to know.
00:29But something unexpected happened.
00:31Blue?
00:32For stay, red for leave. Which side are you on?
00:35Blue, obviously. Who wants to be stuck with a blind girl forever?
00:38Watching other patients talking about the viral pull on their phones, I couldn't help but take out my own phone.
00:45However, when I saw the person who started the pull was none other than my best friend, I forgot to
00:51breathe.
00:51That photo, I took it. For her.
00:56Having understood everything, I chose to face it with a smile.
01:00Perhaps this is the price I pay for being given a second chance at life.
01:04I would let them be happy.
01:06Although I had braced myself for the worst, seeing them so intimate before I even stepped outside still forced me
01:12to steady my heart.
01:13I told myself I was doing the right thing. Letting go. Giving them the happiness they chose.
01:20She won't know. It's fine.
01:25Not here. She's coming out.
01:31I had no choice but to keep pretending I couldn't see, watching them walk toward me.
01:36Dryson? Willow? Is that you? You came to pick me up?
01:43He seemed utterly indifferent to me.
01:45Of course we did. We were so worried.
01:48What did the doctor say? Any progress?
01:52No change. He said, it might stay this way for years.
01:57He spoke to me, but his gaze never left Willow, and they even held hands.
02:03Don't worry, Athena. Willow and I are here. We're not going anywhere.
02:06A day, a year, a decade. We'll wait. We'll always be with you.
02:12Once, those words would have shattered me with gratitude.
02:15Now, they felt like a tomb.
02:17The sun began to set, casting long, warm orange shadows of the three of us.
02:26They thought I was still in the dark, and I let them.
02:29Carr drove away, leaving only the shadows behind, just like the people we used to be.
02:35Make sure to grab extra button mushrooms. They're Athena's absolute favorite.
02:38The cart was full of Willow's favorites, but she said they were mine.
02:42What hurt more was what came next.
02:43Willow, watch out!
02:49Dryson!
02:55My hand closed on empty air.
03:00I'm fine.
03:03Are you okay?
03:04Miss, your head. You're bleeding, Bagley. We need to call an ambulance.
03:07No hospital. Just a clinic. Please.
03:09Athena, you need a doctor!
03:11I don't want to go back there.
03:12I couldn't let them find out. Not now. Not like this.
03:16I grew calmer despite my situation.
03:19Be careful next time, and don't hurt yourself again.
03:24I'm so sorry, Athena. I should have been watching.
03:27It wasn't your fault. The boxes weren't secured.
03:33Athena, I'm sorry I didn't-
03:35It's fine, Dryson. You protected Willow. That's what matters.
03:38I was no longer just the blind girl. Now I was the scarred one, too.
03:41A perfect picture of pitiful ruin.
03:44The house was filled with their things, and worse was yet to come.
03:50This wasn't my home anymore. It was theirs. And I was just a guest who never left.
04:05I sat in the dark, watching them build their life in the light, and I let them.
04:20Three days until New Year.
04:23Three days until I decide if I stay blind, or finally open my eyes.
04:29Only after switching off my phone, did I notice the heated exchange coming from the kitchen.
04:39Dryvolm, sounding frantic, was pulling Willow toward the bedroom.
04:51Battling the turmoil inside, I quietly followed.
05:00Willow, what is this post?
05:02You're planning to leave me? Go abroad?
05:07Athena's eyes will recover eventually. How am I supposed to praise her?
05:10How can I shamelessly tell her I've fallen in love with you?
05:13Dryston, you're Athena's boyfriend. I'm just the best friend who betrayed her, a secret she can't ever know about.
05:19I can't face her. Running away is my only choice. Please, don't push me.
05:22Willow, don't go.
05:24We're in love. How can we just walk away?
05:27The doctor said it could be years before Athena's sight returns. She'll never know.
05:32And look, 100,000 people online support us, support our love.
05:36Are you just going to ignore that?
05:40The warmth drained from fingertips.
05:43Maybe if I were still that blind girl, I could have lived in ignorance forever.
05:48I wouldn't have had to lose my boyfriend and my best friend at the same time.
05:53Dryston, my conscience is eating me alive every second.
05:56Let fate decide.
05:57If after the new year, the votes for me leaving break 100,000, then I'm going.
06:01No matter what, Lidl.
06:02No.
06:03You belong to Epithea, not to me.
06:04I want you to be happy, even if the price is losing you.
06:12The taste of salt filled my mouth.
06:14I covered it with my hand, turned, and silently walked away.
06:20On New Year's Eve, I played my part.
06:24The blind girl waiting for the feast.
06:26It left me staring blankly, thinking back to three years ago.
06:30I'm blind!
06:31What's the point of hanging decorations I can't see?
06:33Why bother the feast? I might as well be dead!
06:35Athena, don't say that!
06:36You're not blind!
06:37You're the person we love most!
06:39We just want you to be happy!
06:41Athena, I love you!
06:42You'll get through this!
06:43Please don't do this to yourself!
06:44It hurts me more than it hurts you!
06:45Athena, it's all your favorites.
06:47Eat well to get your strength back.
06:50Happy holiday!
06:51Let's keep this tradition alive, just like we did back in school.
06:55I nodded faintly, mechanically putting food in my mouth,
06:58but I couldn't manage a smile.
07:01Even the most delicious feast now tasted like ashes.
07:05Because in my peripheral vision,
07:08I could see Willow and Dryton's hands clasped tightly together behind my back.
07:18A heavy weight slammed into my chest,
07:22suffocating me.
07:38Why the photo?
07:40So I can remember you both when I'm gone.
07:42Athena, I'll find a boyfriend who treats me even better than Dryton treats you.
07:46I'm tired of watching you two be all lovey-doovy for over a decade.
07:50Give a girl a break, will you?
07:52As she finished speaking, Dryton's grip on my hand willows,
07:55a current of unspoken longing passing between them.
07:57I closed my eyes, surrendering to the charade,
08:01and pretended to fall asleep.
08:03Athena?
08:04Athena?
08:12Dryston called my name twice to test if I was really asleep,
08:15then let go of my hand.
08:17He took Willow's hand and led her to the far edge of the alchony,
08:21cradling her face in his hands.
08:23There are only five minutes till midnight.
08:26I have to go.
08:27When I looked up again,
08:29Dryton was already kissing her desperately.
08:31His voice was rough.
08:33He claimed her lips again,
08:35his arms locking her fiercely against his chest.
08:39Willow, don't leave me.
08:41Please.
08:50I quietly opened the post on my phone.
08:53The likes Erg Rijil to leave were just one short of 100,000.
08:57Ten, nine, eight, six, five, four, three, two, one.
09:06Time flowed on.
09:07The midnight countdown arrived,
09:09and brilliant fireworks burst against the dark sky.
09:15Do you remember our first kiss?
09:17Of course.
09:18The day of Athena's parents' funeral,
09:20in the storage room,
09:21we kissed for a full half hour.
09:24Thinking back now,
09:26we really shouldn't have.
09:27My heart clenched,
09:29but Willow's next words nailed me to the spot.
09:33Every hair on my body stood on end.
09:39I bit my tongue until I tasted blood.
09:4612.03 a.m.
09:48The red votes just hit 100,000.
09:53Dryson, I have to go.
09:56Willow, you don't have to leave.
09:58You want Dryara?
10:00He's yours.
10:08How long have you been awake, Athena?
10:20I was never asleep.
10:23I've been wide awake this whole time.
10:29Yeah, the fireworks were so loud,
10:31you must have misheard.
10:32Let's go inside,
10:33it's freezing out here.
10:34What do you want to eat tomorrow?
10:35It's the first day of the new year,
10:37we should have something good.
10:38I'm sorry, I didn't catch that.
10:40I pulled my hands free from both of them
10:43and took a step back,
10:45creating a safe distance.
10:56Willow and Dryston stared at their now empty hands,
10:59confusion and dread dawning in their eyes.
11:03I didn't just hear everything,
11:04I saw it all.
11:05I saw you kissing in front of me,
11:07holding hands,
11:08fixing each other's hair,
11:09helping each other with jackets.
11:10I saw how,
11:11when those boxes fell at the supermarket Dryston,
11:13my boyfriend,
11:14shielded you in his arms
11:15without a second thought from me.
11:17I saw how our home has been filled
11:18with someone else's presence.
11:20Your photos are everywhere.
11:22Your clothes are mixed together.
11:24You did all of this
11:25because you thought I was a blind,
11:27useless fool.
11:28Someone who wouldn't notice your betrayal
11:30even when it was right in front of me.
11:33I hadn't wanted to cry in front of them.
11:36I didn't want to show my shattered,
11:38broken self to these two ever again.
11:42But the tears came anyway,
11:45betraying my despair.
11:50So, your eyes,
11:53they're healed.
11:55You can see.
11:57And you hid it from us.
11:59You pretended nothing had changed?
12:04Yes.
12:05That day at the hospital,
12:06my sight came back.
12:08I wanted to share the news with you.
12:10But the first thing I saw with my new eyes
12:12was you and Dryston together behind my back.
12:14I didn't know how to face it,
12:16so I said nothing.
12:24Athena.
12:27You didn't hear anything, right?
12:29Those weren't your words just now, were it?
12:32I saw you kissing in front of me,
12:34holding hands,
12:35fixing each other's hair,
12:37helping each other with jackets.
12:39I saw how,
12:41when those boxes fell at the supermarket,
12:43you shielded her in your arms
12:45without a second thought for me.
12:46I've made up my mind.
12:48I'll pack tonight and leave the country.
12:52For good.
12:54I won't be with Dryston.
12:56I'll cut all ties with him.
12:58Please,
12:59just believe me one last time.
13:02Willow,
13:03even if you leave,
13:04do you think Dryon and I
13:05could just go back to how we were?
13:07Get married?
13:08Live happily?
13:09No.
13:11He'd never forget you.
13:13He'd lie to me,
13:14over and over,
13:15and find a way to fly to you.
13:16He'd cheat.
13:18We'd fight.
13:19We'd become one of those bitter,
13:20trapped couples
13:21stuck in a marriage
13:22that's already a tomb.
13:29That wasn't the future I wanted.
13:31Thina,
13:32I won't let that happen.
13:33I'll disappear completely.
13:35I won't give him Yance to find me.
13:37Please,
13:37don't do this.
13:39We've been the best of friends
13:40since elementary school
13:41through middle school,
13:42university,
13:43and all the way till now.
13:44We promise to grow old together
13:45and never be apart.
13:47Dryston,
13:47can you do it?
13:49Can you truly be with me
13:50and only me?
13:53Never seek out Willow.
13:55Never lie awake,
13:56missing her.
13:58Never wonder if choosing her
14:00would have made you happier.
14:07Dryston,
14:08even if you could,
14:10I wouldn't stay with you.
14:11You can rest easy.
14:13Whatever I felt for you
14:14died the moment I learned the truth.
14:16It's like ash
14:17after fireworks.
14:18No warmth left,
14:19no way to bring it back to life.
14:21Willow,
14:21you're right.
14:22We were the closest of friends.
14:24We've spent more time together
14:25than with our own families.
14:27In a way,
14:27we were family.
14:29But you destroyed that.
14:30You chose to let go
14:32of everything we had.
14:33What's gone
14:34should stay gone.
14:35From now on,
14:36let's go our separate ways.
14:37No contact,
14:38no looking back.
14:52Dryston,
14:54let's end it here.
14:56Since you've chose each other
14:57against all odds,
14:59I hope you find happiness.
15:04I packed a small bag
15:06with a few essentials
15:07and stepped out
15:08into the cold night air,
15:10hailing a taxi
15:11to the airport.
15:24Behind me,
15:25from the balcony,
15:27Willow's broken sobs
15:28echoed into the dark.
15:30Dryston stood motionless
15:32in the wind,
15:33his eyes following my car
15:35until it disappeared from sight.
15:41On the first day
15:42of the new year,
15:43I landed in my hometown.
15:47After buying some fruit,
15:48I made my way
15:49to the hillside cemetery
15:50where my parents rest.
15:53I hadn't visited
15:55in three years.
15:56Weeds had grown tall
15:58and wild over their graves.
16:02Once I cleared them away,
16:04I sat down
16:05and talked to them
16:05for a long time.
16:10But as I spoke,
16:12my throat closed up
16:13and words failed me.
16:20It was hard to grasp.
16:23I was truly alone
16:25in this world now.
16:27I had no family left.
16:32Mom,
16:33I still don't understand.
16:36Why is it always the people
16:38who loved me most
16:39that hurt me the deepest?
16:48my father in the driver's seat
16:50took the full force
16:51of the impact
16:52and was gone instantly.
16:55My mother and I
16:56were rushed to the hospital.
16:58The surgeries lasted
16:59through the day
17:00and into the night.
17:04In the end,
17:06she left me too
17:08and I
17:09was left blind.
17:12My own life
17:14barely clinging on.
17:16Back then,
17:17grief was a constant tide,
17:19drowning me in tears
17:21every minute of every day.
17:23Dryseth stayed by my hospital bedside
17:26day and night,
17:27his voice
17:28was a steady anchor.
17:31Athena,
17:32you still have me.
17:36I'll take care of you
17:37for the rest of my life,
17:39just like your parents
17:40would have wanted.
17:44You can trust me.
17:48The doctors say
17:49there's a chance.
17:51I'm your boyfriend.
17:53It's my job
17:54to stay by your side
17:55through all of this.
17:57I'm not giving up,
17:58so you can't either.
18:02Willow,
18:02overseas,
18:03broke down sobbing
18:04when she heard the news
18:05over the phone.
18:10Without a second thought,
18:11she drafted her resignation
18:13and booked
18:14the first flight home.
18:15Athena Turner,
18:16no job is more important
18:18than you.
18:19I can find another job.
18:20But right now,
18:22you need me.
18:23I can't leave you alone
18:25and vulnerable
18:25in that hospital bed.
18:27Dryseth and I
18:28will take care of you
18:29until you're back
18:30on your feet.
18:30Don't be impulsive.
18:32You'll regret this.
18:33I'll manage.
18:35I...
18:35I have Dryseth.
18:37Just keep living your life.
18:39We can talk every day,
18:41okay?
18:45Willow sacrificed
18:46everything to go abroad.
18:48In college,
18:49she studied relentlessly,
18:51aced every scholarship,
18:52and held the highest GPA
18:54in her year.
18:55She pushed herself
18:56to ill health
18:56and thinning hair,
18:57all for a place
18:58at a top foreign university.
19:02If she threw it all away
19:03for me,
19:04everything she'd worked for
19:05would vanish.
19:07Her struggles
19:08would mean nothing.
19:10After we hung up,
19:12I cried for a long time
19:13in the dark.
19:15I used to believe
19:16I'd done something
19:17extraordinary
19:17in another life.
19:19Something grand enough
19:20to deserve a boyfriend
19:20so devoted
19:21and a best friend
19:22as selfless as Willow.
19:24But now I know
19:25even the people
19:26who loved me most
19:27could break me.
19:28And I survived anyway.
19:30I used to believe
19:31I'd done something
19:32extraordinary
19:32in another life.
19:34Something grand enough
19:35to deserve this kind of luck.
19:37How else could I have
19:38ended up with a boyfriend
19:39so devoted
19:40and a best friend
19:41as selfless as Willow?
19:43Willow came home.
19:44She and Dryrin
19:45handled my parents'
19:46funeral arrangements
19:47together.
19:50You know,
19:51the nurse on the third floor
19:52keeps asking about you.
19:53I think she's jealous
19:54of how family was tough,
19:55but she never complained,
19:57only shared funny stories
19:58and gossip
19:59to lift my spirits.
20:00He left his career
20:01in finance
20:02and switched entirely
20:03to medical research.
20:04The new treatment protocol,
20:06they've had success
20:07in three cases already.
20:08He joined a lab
20:09focused on vision restoration.
20:11Your eyes.
20:12Dedicating himself
20:13to developing new people.
20:13I'm going to find a way.
20:14I promise.
20:16He spent countless nights
20:18in that lab,
20:19chasing a light
20:20he hoped I would
20:21one day see.
20:23He never said it,
20:24but I knew.
20:26Every breakthrough,
20:28every failure,
20:29it was all for me.
20:32Without the two of them
20:33by my side,
20:34I probably wouldn't
20:35have made it this far.
20:36I just never imagined
20:38that the two people
20:39who had given up
20:40everything for me
20:41would one day,
20:42would one day deliver
20:43the most crushing blow
20:44of all.
20:47Mom,
20:48did I do the right thing?
20:53I couldn't stay.
20:56Not after what they did.
20:59Beautiful.
21:02I ran away.
21:04I could never face them
21:05with a clean heart,
21:06grateful for their sacrifice,
21:08but unable
21:09to forgive their betrayal.
21:11So I chose to leave.
21:13A gust of wind
21:14stirred the grass.
21:15The sunlight felt too bright,
21:18too sharp
21:18against my closed eyelids.
21:25Athena,
21:27I knew I'd find you here.
21:30I wasn't surprised.
21:33Placing my hands
21:34on the ground,
21:34I pushed myself up.
21:36My legs had gone mole
21:38from crouching so long.
21:41Stumbling,
21:41I swayed unsteadily.
21:47Are you okay?
21:49Is it low blood sugar?
21:50Did you eat
21:50before coming here?
21:51Don't touch me,
21:52Dryston!
21:52I don't want your concern!
21:55You make me sick,
21:57do you understand?
21:59Sick!
22:00I told you,
22:01we're done.
22:02I don't want to see you,
22:03and I don't want you
22:05at my here,
22:05at my parents' grave site.
22:07Don't ever come back!
22:10I watched him
22:11pull his hands back,
22:12slowly,
22:14as if my words
22:15had burned him.
22:17And for a moment,
22:18I saw it,
22:20the grilt
22:20he couldn't hide.
22:22But I didn't care anymore.
22:28Athena,
22:31Willow's gone.
22:33Her flight left
22:34three hours ago.
22:36She didn't tell anyone
22:37where she was going,
22:37not even me.
22:39She asked me
22:40to give you this letter,
22:42and to tell you
22:42she's sorry,
22:44that she won't come back,
22:46won't disturb your peace anymore.
22:48She hopes you'll be happy,
22:49at peace,
22:50and always shining.
22:53A photo,
22:55our graduation day.
22:57Willow and me,
22:59arms linked,
23:00heads together.
23:01Dryson took it.
23:02She carried it abroad,
23:04said it gave her strength.
23:06That summer,
23:07that hope,
23:08gone.
23:09I picked up the lighter
23:10from beside the candles.
23:11My hands didn't shake.
23:14My hands didn't shake.
23:15I watched it curl,
23:16blacken,
23:16and turn to ash,
23:18carried away by the wind.
23:20That summer,
23:21that girl,
23:22that friendship,
23:23gone.
23:25And for the first time,
23:26I let it be.
23:38When I couldn't see,
23:39I used to dream so much.
23:41I imagined my sight would come back,
23:43and I get smoked,
23:45crew tenito.
23:46I'd find work I loved.
23:50I find a job I loved,
23:52that every weekend,
23:53we'd meet Willow for meals.
23:56That was the life I wanted.
24:05On holidays,
24:06we'd travel,
24:07take photos at every stop,
24:10make reels,
24:11check all the boxes.
24:16Then you and I would marry,
24:18have a baby a few years later.
24:20We'd ask Willow to be the godmother.
24:25If she had a child too,
24:27we'd joke about setting them up,
24:28like in some sweet TV drama.
24:38The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes,
24:41was Willow's post.
24:43All the moments you two shared for three years.
24:52Athena,
24:53I'm so sorry.
24:54I wasn't someone you could trust with your heart.
24:57Is it too late for regrets now?
25:00You've lost all faith in me,
25:02haven't you?
25:03I know I don't deserve another chance.
25:06You could still find Willow if you try.
25:09I'm not stopping you.
25:11I never was.
25:13I'm not here because she left.
25:15I'm not coming back just because she's gone.
25:16I'm here because I made a mistake I can't undo.
25:21Athena,
25:21we could still start over,
25:22couldn't we?
25:23I want to be with you.
25:25All those futures you imagined,
25:27the job,
25:27the trips,
25:28the family,
25:31we could still make them real.
25:33Just give me one more chance,
25:34please.
25:37Dryston,
25:37you can't undo what's been done.
25:39You know that.
25:41I don't have any love left to give you.
25:45What we had is gone.
25:48Just let me live in peace,
25:49please.
25:53All right.
25:54I understand.
25:56There's nothing I can say to change it.
25:59I'll let you go.
26:02I hope you find the peace I couldn't give you.
26:06After that day,
26:07we never saw each other again.
26:10Not because I hated him.
26:12I just knew some doors close for good.
26:15And that's how it should be.
26:22And I kept walking,
26:24steadily,
26:25firmly,
26:26toward a future of my own.
26:29Not because I'd forgotten,
26:31but because I'd finally learned to let go.
