00:00I dumped the pills into the toilet, one flush, and they were gone.
00:03Mom rushed in, shaking with anger, and grabbed my shoulders hard enough to hurt.
00:07Her fingers dug into my skin. I clenched my teeth and didn't cry.
00:11I had to act worse than I was, so when I died, they wouldn't hurt as much.
00:15That morning, I saw the ultrasound report. Twins, how nice.
00:19Our family could only afford two kids, not three. I was the extra one.
00:24The medicine's too bitter! I hate it! I hate you!
00:27I shouted, shoved Mom away, and crawled into bed.
00:30I pressed my hand over my mouth so I wouldn't make a sound.
00:33It hurt again. Something inside me was chewing me alive, and I couldn't stop it.
00:37It was okay. In a few days, they'd only have those two babies to raise.
00:42Good night, Daddy. Good night, Mommy. This is the last time I make you angry.
00:49Do you know how much this medicine costs? 200 bucks!
00:54Mom's hand flew up, but she stopped herself, her whole body shaking.
00:57Your father works at the construction site, and even sells plasma.
01:04Alive! All just to keep you alive.
01:07She gave me a push that made me stagger.
01:09Dad was home. I flushed all the pills. 400 milliliters.
01:13That bought the medicine.
01:15The last bottle they could afford all poured away.
01:18I said it tasted awful.
01:21Fiona, I sold plasma today. 400 milliliters.
01:24That bought the medicine. The last bottle we could afford.
01:28And you flushed it?
01:29Yeah, I did.
01:30I don't want to take the medicine bought with plasma money.
01:34Go! Go to your room! Don't let me see you right now!
01:37I curled up under the blanket, tears flowing into my mouth.
01:40It was salty. That was exactly what I wanted.
01:43I wanted them to hate me and despise me.
01:45This child is ruined. We can't raise her right.
01:48We still have two babies coming. We have to raise them right.
01:51We can't! We can't do this again!
01:55And when I died, they wouldn't be sorry.
01:57Three days left.
01:58In these three days, I had to make them completely give up on me.
02:05Fiona.
02:12Fiona. Three days left.
02:15I know. Can you make it faster? I want to leave tonight.
02:20No. The time hasn't come yet.
02:23The next morning, breakfast was too slick split between two bowls.
02:27I finished my toast quickly, stared at Mom's share, and shouted that I wanted more.
02:32Dad put down his chopsticks, frowned and said Mom needed nutrition, but I wouldn't listen.
02:37I stood up directly and reached out to grab the toast and stuffed it into my mouth.
02:42On purpose, I tried to knock the bowl to the floor.
02:44Mom reacted quickly and caught the bowl, but some eggs spilled all over the table,
02:48and she burst into tears from anger.
02:51Dad stood up, grabbed me by the collar, and asked me, go!
02:55What's up with me?
02:56Oh! Oh!
02:57You run it in my cry, fuck you is!
02:58Beat me to death, and you won't have to waste money on my medicine!
03:01Then you can raise those two brats!
03:03Dad's hands trembled with rage, and he threw me to the ground.
03:06But I got up at once, brushed the dust off my clothes, ran out.
03:10Dad roared behind me to stop, asking where I got the money.
03:13As soon as the door closed, I heard the sound of dishes shattering inside, followed by Dad's
03:18desperate roar, I must have sinned in my past life.
03:21I actually had no money in my pocket, only that crumpled copy of my medical diagnosis.
03:26I tore it up and threw it in the trash.
03:28The reaper drifted back to my side and said,
03:33Why bother doing this?
03:35Making them hate you, you won't feel at peace when you go.
03:39When I got home in the evening, there was a thick stack of money on the table.
03:42Dad's wages for the day and money he had borrowed.
03:45Dad said while smoking that,
03:47We'll go to a big hospital tomorrow.
03:49Let's get you checked again.
03:51Even if we have to sell everything, we'll treat you.
03:53I was so scared I could barely breathe.
03:56I couldn't go.
03:57If I did, the money would be wasted.
03:59That money should be saved for my little brother and sister to buy them milk powder and help them survive.
04:05I walked to the table and grabbed the stack of money.
04:08Dad rushed over to stop me.
04:09I stuffed the money into my pocket, stepped back, and...
04:12I'm taking this money!
04:14I want the newest phone!
04:15Other kids have one!
04:17Dad turned pale with anger, clenched his trembling fists.
04:20I refused, turned around, and ran.
04:22He grabbed my arm, and in our struggle, the bills flew everywhere.
04:27Dad gasped for breath, gripping my arm so hard it hurt.
04:30Then he suddenly let go, staggered back, as if all his strength had been drained,
04:35and collapsed onto the sofa, burying his face in his hands and crying.
04:39I had never seen Dad cry like that.
04:41I quickly picked up the money from the floor and put it back on the table,
04:44then ran back to my room, pressing my back against the door as tears streamed down my face.
04:49Dad, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
04:50Dad, I'm sorry. Truly sorry.
04:53What's the use of peace?
04:55If they love me, they'll cry sadly when I die.
04:58If they hate me, when I die, they'll just curse me and then go on with their lives.
05:04On the third day, Dad was going to take me to the hospital, but I knew I couldn't go.
05:08I hid in the tiny bathroom and locked the door.
05:11Fiona! Come out!
05:13I'm not going! I hate hospitals!
05:17Don't make me break down his door!
05:20I sat on the cold floor, hugging my knees, my stomach convulsing with pain.
05:24Blood kept seeping from the corner of my mouth.
05:27I wiped it away with toilet paper over and over.
05:30Suddenly, the bathroom door was kicked open.
05:34Dad stood in the doorway, panting, his eyes red.
05:37He saw the blood-stained tissues in the trash and froze.
05:40He said my name, his voice shaking.
05:43Fiona!
05:43I quickly hid my hands behind my back, trying to wipe the blood from my lips.
05:48I lied that I had bitten my tongue by accident.
05:51Dad didn't say anything.
05:53He slowly walked over and pulled my hand out.
05:55My palm was covered in blood.
05:57He stared at my hand for a long time, then suddenly fell to his knees.
06:01Why didn't you tell me?
06:05Why are you bearing this alone?
06:08Because you're annoying.
06:10Always forcing me to take medicine.
06:12Always making me go to the hospital.
06:13Fiona, I'm your father.
06:17Even if you hate me.
06:18Even if you despise me.
06:21I will never give up on you.
06:25Dad.
06:27I'm going to die.
06:31I finally said it.
06:33Dad.
06:34I'm going to die.
06:36The doctor said I only have a few days left.
06:39I don't want you and mom to be sad.
06:41I want you to save money for my little brother and sister.
06:44No, no, no.
06:45You won't die.
06:46I won't let you die.
06:48But I knew.
06:49I really was going to die.
06:56That night, I fell into a coma.
06:59I heard dad's voice in my days.
07:02Fiona?
07:03Fiona!
07:05I wanted to respond, but I couldn't make a sound.
07:08Call an ambulance.
07:08My daughter.
07:09My daughter, she...
07:10Fiona, hold on.
07:12The ambulance is coming.
07:18In the darkness, the Reaper appeared again.
07:21Time's up.
07:22He reached out to me.
07:23I held his hand and my soul left my body.
07:26I looked back and saw dad holding my lifeless body, crying out into...
07:30Fiona!
07:32Mom sat on the floor, holding her belly, crying uncontrollably.
07:36I'm sorry, dad.
07:38Mom.
07:39I really tried.
07:44The funeral was very simple.
07:46Dad sold everything he could sell and bought me a small white casket and a red dress.
07:51That was the dress I'd wanted for so long.
07:53Red, bright, and beautiful.
07:55He didn't wipe them away.
07:56He just kept looking at me, as if trying to memorize every detail.
08:02Fiona.
08:03You look so pretty.
08:06His tears fell on my face.
08:08He didn't wipe them away.
08:11Such a young child.
08:12What a pity.
08:13But dad didn't hear any of it.
08:15He just sat beside my casket.
08:18Motionless.
08:18Until the staff came to...
08:20Don't take her!
08:21She's my daughter!
08:24Nick, let go.
08:25We have to let her go.
08:27I haven't taken her to an amusement park yet!
08:30I haven't bought her new shoes yet!
08:32I haven't watched her grow up yet!
08:34I haven't watched her to Ryan help me!
08:36I haven't...
08:38Finally, he was pulled away.
08:39No!
08:40He watched as I was taken into the cremation room.
08:42No!
08:42I stood beside him in spirit, crying too.
08:46Fiona!
08:47Daddy's baby!
08:49Daddy!
08:52Dad, don't cry.
08:54I'm right here.
08:59After I died, dad became a different person.
09:02He quit his construction job and started drinking every day.
09:06He sat in front of my urn, talking to me.
09:09Fiona, dad misses you.
09:11Why did you leave so early?
09:19Mom tried to persuade him, but he wouldn't listen.
09:24He just kept drinking, day after day.
09:29Until one night, he drank so much he passed out and hit his head on the corner of the table.
09:34Blood gushed out.
09:50Nick!
09:51Nick!
09:55Hello, help me!
09:56Mom screamed and called an ambulance.
10:05In the hospital, dad lay unconscious.
10:09The doctor said he might not wake up.
10:16Mom sat beside his bed, crying while holding her belly.
10:19Nick, please wake up.
10:21Our babies need you.
10:23But dad didn't respond.
10:25He seemed to be trapped in some distant place.
10:28I stood beside him, watching his pale face.
10:34Dad, wake up.
10:35You can't leave mom and the babies.
10:47Dad, wake up.
10:49You can't leave mom and the babies.
10:51Just then, the reaper appeared.
10:55Fiona, your father is dying.
10:58His will to live is gone.
11:00His soul is about to leave his body.
11:03I looked at him in shock.
11:07I grabbed the reaper's cloak.
11:10Can you save him?
11:12He looked at me silent for a long time.
11:15There is a way.
11:17But you'll have to pay a price.
11:38The reaper led me to a strange place.
11:41Fog hung in the air.
11:42The light was dim, and a kind of indescribable silence filled the atmosphere.
11:47The reaper's figure flickered in and out of the mist.
11:50It was neither heaven nor earth, but somewhere in between.
11:53The hall of souls, a vast place filled with countless spirits, all waiting to be judged.
11:59At the end of the hall sat a figure wrapped in darkness, the lord of the underworld.
12:03Hades, the darkness moved like a living cloak, flowing slowly around him.
12:11Fiona, Hades's voice echoed, ancient and cold.
12:15The voice seemed to rise from the depths of the earth, or perhaps from a time so distant it had
12:20traveled across millennia.
12:25My knees hit the ground with a dull thud, but I felt no pain.
12:30Please save my father.
12:32My voice was small, yet unwavering.
12:34Tears welled up in my eyes, but I held them back, not wanting to seem weak before the lord of
12:39the underworld.
12:40He's dying because of me.
12:42Then a massive mirror appeared before me, the soul mirror.
12:46Its frame was black, carved with twisted vines and skulls.
12:50The surface was like stagnant water, dark and bottomless.
12:53This mirror shows the truth inside a person's heart.
12:56His voice carried no emotion, yet each word struck me like a hammer.
13:01Look, the mirror's surface rippled, and scenes began to play.
13:04I saw dad working at the construction site, sweat pouring down his face.
13:09I saw him at the plasma center, rolling up his sleeve despite his fear of needles.
13:14He turned his head away, unable to look at the needle, his lips pressed white.
13:18I saw him kneeling before the foreman, begging for an advance on his wages.
13:23His knees hit the concrete floor hard.
13:25That quiet, reserved man had set aside all his pride for his daughter.
13:30Please, my daughter is dying.
13:34I saw him selling our TV, our microwave, everything of value.
13:39I saw him being turned away by loan sharks because he had nothing left to offer as collateral.
13:44What do you have to pay back with?
13:45Every scene was like a knife stabbing my heart.
13:48Dad, I couldn't stop crying.
13:50Hades spoke again.
13:51Your father loved you more than his own life.
13:55Each word was like a boulder, pressing down on me until I could barely lift my head.
14:00And you, child, chose to make him hate you.
14:04Hades' eyes bored into me, as if trying to see through my very soul.
14:09Do you regret it?
14:11I nodded desperately.
14:12Tears flew from my face, splashing invisible drops on the floor.
14:17I regret it.
14:18I was wrong.
14:19I should have told him the truth.
14:21I should have let him love me until the very end.
14:24My voice was choked with sobs.
14:27Hades raised his hand, and the mirror vanished.
14:30With a single wave, the massive mirror crumbled like a castle made of sand,
14:35dissolving into countless specks of stardust that drifted silently through the dim air.
14:40But I can offer you a chance.
14:42Go to your father.
14:44Tell him everything.
14:45Let him have peace.
14:47I'll do it.
14:48Just let me see him one more time.
14:50Then, tears still stained my face, but my gaze no longer wavered.
14:54In a flash of light, I found myself in Dad's hospital room.
14:59But I wasn't alone.
15:00Dad stood there too, his soul, separated from his body.
15:04He looked confused, staring at his own unconscious form on the bed.
15:10Where?
15:10Where am I?
15:11Then he saw me.
15:13His eyes widened.
15:14Fiona?
15:14I ran to him and threw my arms around him.
15:18Dad, he held me tightly, as if afraid I would disappear.
15:21Is this a dream?
15:23No, I said, tears streaming down my face.
15:26It's real.
15:27I'm really here.
15:28He pulled back to look at me, his hands cupping my face.
15:31But you, you die.
15:34I know.
15:35I grabbed his hands.
15:37Dad, I have to tell you something.
15:48I lied to you.
15:49I didn't hate you.
15:51I never hated you.
15:52I just, I just wanted to make you hate me, so you wouldn't be sad when I die.
15:58Oh, Fiona, you foolish child.
16:01You foolish, precious child.
16:04Did you really think I could ever hate you?
16:08We cried together for a long time.
16:11Then Dad pulled away, his expression changing to panic.
16:15Wait, if we're both here.
16:17He looked at his body on the bed.
16:19Am I dying too?
16:21I nodded.
16:22The Reaper said you gave up on life.
16:24But Dad, you can't give up.
16:26Mom needs you.
16:27The babies need you.
16:29Dad shook his head.
16:30How can I go on without you?
16:32Every time I close my eyes, I see your face.
16:36Every time I hear a child laugh, I think of you.
16:39Dad, listen to me.
16:41The pain means you loved me.
16:43That's a beautiful thing.
16:45Live for Mom.
16:46Live for the babies.
16:48And live for me.
16:49Because I'll always be watching over you.
16:52Dad looked at me, tears streaming down his face.
16:56Will you?
16:56I promise.
16:58I squeezed his hands.
17:00I'll find a way.
17:01I don't know how, but I will.
17:03Just then, Hades of the dead materialized in the room.
17:08Dad instinctively stepped in front of me.
17:11Who are you?
17:13I am Hades, the lord of the underworld, the voice boomed.
17:17I judge the souls of the departed.
17:20Hades turned his gaze to me.
17:22Fiona, you have seen the truth in the soul mirror.
17:25You understand now the depth of your father's love.
17:28And you, Nick.
17:30Hades addressed my father.
17:32You have heard your daughter's confession.
17:34She never hated you.
17:36She only wanted to spare you pain.
17:38Then he spoke.
17:40Nick, you stand at a crossroads.
17:42You can choose to stay here, in this liminal space, and join your daughter in death.
17:48Or you can choose to return to your body and live.
17:51Dad looked at me, anguish written across his face.
17:54Fiona, I can't lose you again.
17:57I smiled through my tears.
17:59Dad, you're not losing me.
18:01I'll always be in your heart.
18:03But your family needs you alive.
18:05Please, go back.
18:07Dad pulled me into one last embrace.
18:09When he released me, he turned to Hades.
18:13I choose to live.
18:14A golden light enveloped him.
18:16His soul was pulled back into his body.
18:19In the hospital bed, dad's eyes flew open.
18:22He gasped.
18:23Fiona, but I was no longer visible to him.
18:26Mom rushed to his side, crying.
18:29Nick.
18:29Dad grabbed her hand.
18:31She was here.
18:33I saw her.
18:34Fiona.
18:35She told me everything.
18:36She never hated us.
18:38I turned to Hades.
18:41He regarded me with ancient eyes.
18:43Your father has found his will to live.
18:45But now you must face your judgment.
18:48He raised his hand.
18:49The soul mirror appeared, showing my life, the good moments and the painful ones.
18:55When it finished, he spoke.
18:56You chose to cause pain to those you loved most.
19:00For this, you should be punished.
19:02I offer you a choice.
19:04You may be reborn with no memories.
19:06Or, an image appeared, a small ragdoll cat.
19:10You may return in this form for three years, unable to speak but able to watch over your family.
19:16I didn't hesitate.
19:17The cat, Hades, nodded.
19:19Go home, Fiona.
19:22After being discharged and returning home, the cramped trailer was frighteningly empty.
19:30Dad placed my urn in the most visible spot in the living room.
19:33Beside it were all my favorite snacks from when I was alive, and that red dress.
19:38He mended what was left.
19:40Days passed, and winter came.
19:42Dad stopped drinking and smoking.
19:45Every day after work he came straight home and talked to the urn.
19:49Fiona, the construction salary came in today.
19:52Fiona, your mom's belly is bigger.
19:55The twins are really lively.
19:57Fiona, it's cold now.
19:59Are you cold there?
20:01The next spring, the twins were born, a boy and a girl.
20:05At last, the trailer had crying and laughter again.
20:11That day, as a cat, I finally followed the scent of memory and saw that familiar window.
20:18I crouched beneath it and let out a soft cry.
20:21The door opened.
20:22Dad stood there, much more worn down.
20:25When he saw me, a flicker of light flashed in his hollow eyes.
20:29He slowly squatted down.
20:33His voice trembling beyond control.
20:36Fie.
20:37Fiona.
20:38I walked to his feet and rubbed my head against his pant leg.
20:42Tears slid down his face at once.
20:44It's you.
20:45You're back.
20:46I meowed twice, then jumped beside the cradle and looked at the two little babies.
20:51They were my brother and sister.
20:53Mom walked in, saw this scene, and covered her mouth.
20:57It.
20:57It is Fiona.
20:58Dad wiped his tears and finally showed a long lost smile.
21:03She's finally back.
21:04I thought to myself, yes, Dad and Mom, I'm home.
21:08My new home was still my old room.
21:11Dad laid a soft mat where I used to sleep.
21:13Every time we ate, Dad specially set aside a small dish for me, with canned tuna and a
21:19little bowl of fresh water.
21:21At night, I became the family guard, chasing away any mice that tried to steal food.
21:26When my brother and sister cried, I jumped onto the cradle and brushed their faces with
21:32my tail until they were soothed.
21:34Once, because work at the site went bad, Dad reached for the bottle again.
21:39Just as he picked up the glass, I jumped onto the table and angrily knocked it over.
21:44He remembered the night before I died, when he was also drinking.
21:49Dad threw the bottle into the trash.
21:51I will listen to you.
21:53Only then did I jump back into his arms, gently licking his hand.
21:57Their beloved daughter.
21:59Even after becoming a cat, I was still helping my family.
22:03In the blink of an eye, three years passed.
22:05My brother and sister grew up, able to run and jump.
22:09What they loved most was playing with me, but happiness is always short-lived.
22:14The time Hades gave me was only three years.
22:17On a windy night, I knew my time had come.
22:20Dad held me in his arms and wrapped me in that red dress.
22:24His tears fell onto my fur, burning hot.
22:28Dad dug a small pit under the big tree in the yard.
22:31He put me into a box, lined with flower petals and a family photo.
22:36In the photo, Dad and Mom held my brother and sister, and at their feet was a little kitten.
22:41A beam of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone upon it.
22:46In the light, I seemed to turn back into a little girl, wearing that clean red dress with no pain
22:51left in my body.
22:53I waved at them with all my strength, smiling brightly.
22:56Daddy! Mommy! Goodbye!
22:59Dad smiled too, waved back, and shouted loudly,
23:03Go! Go far! Don't look back!
23:06The light carried me away.
23:07I took one last look, I knew my parents could finally live well again.
23:12And I was finally free.
