Short filmTranscript
00:00I lay on the delivery bed. The contractions were coming faster now, one after another.
00:05My husband, Dante, held my hand, his eyes soft with concern.
00:09Hang in there, Mara. We'll meet our baby soon.
00:12I was trembling from the pain, but I still forced a smile.
00:15Then a nurse walked in with a syringe. I thought it was the epidural, but Dante let go of my
00:20hand and stepped back.
00:23Adjust the dosage carefully.
00:25The needle pierced my skin.
00:28Make sure she doesn't deliver before Vivian.
00:31I stared at him in a shock.
00:34Vivian's already six centimeters dilated. Buy us two more hours.
00:38I wanted to scream. I wanted to fight back. But the drug was already in my system.
00:43The contractions suddenly weakened, as something inside me had been forced still.
00:47They moved me into a temporary room in the hospital basement.
00:50Dante's younger sister, Petra, stood at the door. She was toying with a surgical scalpel.
00:55Don't blame my brother, Mara. The child in Vivian's belly is my late brother's posthumous son.
01:01He's a boy, and he'll be the Harwick family's first grandson.
01:06So what if you go into labor first?
01:09You're only carrying a girl.
01:11I covered my belly with both hands.
01:13Another wave of contractions fought back against the medication.
01:15My vision went black from the pain.
01:18Call a doctor! I'm going to give birth! Really?
01:22Give birth to what?
01:24The drugs will hold for another three hours?
01:28Vivian is already in the delivery room.
01:31So stay here and wait.
01:33After her baby is born safely, you can have yours.
01:37She stood up, turned around, walked towards the door.
01:41Keep an eye on her.
01:42Gag her if she dares to scream.
01:45The door slammed shut.
01:46I lay on the floor as blood slowly spread beneath me.
01:49I curled up and tried to breathe through the pain.
01:51Three months ago, his older brother died in a car crash.
01:54He left behind Vivian, who was three months pregnant.
01:57He must be born safely.
02:00The Harwick family cannot be left without an heir.
02:03I even felt sorry for her.
02:04I stepped forward and said,
02:07Dad, don't worry.
02:08Adrian and I will raise our baby well too.
02:11He looked at me and said nothing.
02:13Only now did I understand.
02:14He had already given up on my child.
02:17Another contraction tore through me.
02:19This one was stronger.
02:20The drug was wearing off.
02:22The baby was coming.
02:23I scrambled to the door and pounded it with all the strength I had left.
02:27Someone help!
02:29I'm about to give birth!
02:30Please save my baby!
02:33What the hell are you yelling for?
02:35Miss Petra told you to wait.
02:37So wait.
02:39But the baby...
02:40That's your bad luck.
02:42That's what you get for carrying a girl.
02:44My whole body went cold.
02:45I collapsed onto the floor.
02:47As I lifted a trembling hand to my stomach,
02:50Dr. Callum rushed over and dropped to his knees beside me.
02:53Oh God, the baby's crowning.
02:55Your water already broke.
02:57I need to get you into surgery right now.
02:59He reached down to lift me.
03:00But the second my body shifted,
03:02a rush of hot fluid surged from between my legs.
03:05Blood.
03:08So much blood.
03:10He turned toward the doorway and shouted,
03:12Somebody!
03:13I need help in here!
03:15She's bleeding heavily!
03:16But the hallway outside was empty.
03:18Tonight, all doctors and nurses are upstairs for Vivian's delivery.
03:22Dr. Callum yanked out his phone and tried to call for help,
03:25but there was no signal in the basement.
03:28I'm taking you upstairs.
03:30Stay with me.
03:30Then he bent down, gathered me into his arms, and ran.
03:34The stairwell felt endless.
03:36Every step sent a brutal jolt through my body.
03:38The pain was so intense, I thought I might black out at any second.
03:42I could feel the baby dropping lower and lower,
03:45but she still would not come.
03:46This was the worst part.
03:48I grabbed his collar.
03:49Doctor, if it comes down to it, save my baby.
03:52Please.
03:53Don't talk nonsense.
03:54You're both going to make it.
03:55At last, he reached the first floor and rushed toward the operating room.
03:59But the moment we got there, both of us froze.
04:02Doctor stunned.
04:03A strangled sound died in his throat.
04:05How is this possible?
04:06I checked everything myself this afternoon.
04:09Footsteps echoed from the end of the corridor.
04:11Petra walked toward us with two nurses behind.
04:14The moment she saw us, one brow lifted.
04:17Dr. Callum, what are you doing here?
04:20Vivian is upstairs in the delivery room.
04:22Why come all the way down here?
04:24Where is the equipment?
04:25Who cleared up this room?
04:27We moved everything upstairs, of course.
04:30Vivian's having a C-section.
04:32She needs the best equipment.
04:34As she said it, her gaze drifted to me and smiled.
04:37Oh, Mara.
04:39You're in labor?
04:40I'm afraid you'll have to wait.
04:43Viviani comes first.
04:44So you'll just have to hold on a little longer.
04:47I stared at her perfectly made-up face.
04:50Suddenly, I remembered she had said to me six months ago.
04:53Back then...
04:54Mara, you're so good to me.
04:56Better than any real sister.
04:58That day alone, I spent over $100,000 on designer bags for her.
05:03Looking back now, I was a fool.
05:06Dr. Callum rushed into the nurse's station like a madman.
05:10He tore through every cabinet, searching for emergency supplies.
05:14There was nothing.
05:15The shelves were empty.
05:16No clamps.
05:17No gauze.
05:18Where are the drugs?
05:20He shouted.
05:20The meds to stop the bleeding.
05:22The one to induce stronger contractions.
05:25They were all taken to the third floor.
05:28What do you mean?
05:29Dr. Callum froze.
05:31Mr. Harwick ordered that everything be prioritized for Mrs. Vivian.
05:34Dr. slammed his fist against the cabinet.
05:37Then he turned to look at me.
05:38His eyes were red.
05:39His lips trembled.
05:41I'm sorry.
05:41I'm so sorry, Mrs. Harwick.
05:44There's nothing I can do.
05:45Don't worry, Dr. Callum.
05:47Vivian hasn't delivered yet.
05:49Once she's done, they'll move the equipment back downstairs.
05:52She glanced at my stomach.
05:54Besides, even if the baby comes now, so what?
05:58It's only a girl.
05:59If she dies, she dies.
06:01The Harwick family won't care about one little girl.
06:04I stared at her, stared at this person I had loved like my own blood for three years.
06:10Then, with every ounce of strength I had left.
06:13You bastard.
06:15Petra's face darkened at once.
06:17Go ahead.
06:18Curse me all you want.
06:20Anyway, once you give birth, you'll be too weak to fight back.
06:23I'll make sure you stay quiet.
06:25By then, Vivian will take your place.
06:27As for you, she straightened.
06:29If my brother is feeling merciful, maybe he'll let you live.
06:32You can stay in the house.
06:34As a servant.
06:35Doctor couldn't hold back anymore.
06:37Miss Petra!
06:38This is murder!
06:43Murder?
06:44Watch what you say, Doctor.
06:46Women die in childbirth every day.
06:49That's hardly unusual.
06:51Besides, this is family matter.
06:53You're an outsider.
06:54This is none of your business.
06:56Take Dr. Callum away.
07:03I will personally look after Mara.
07:06Mrs. Harchick!
07:06Listen to me!
07:08Try to keep the concractions going!
07:10Elevate your legs!
07:11Stay awake!
07:12Don't give up!
07:13The baby still has a chance!
07:14His voice faded into the corridor.
07:16Petra closed the door to the nurse's station and turned to look at me.
07:19Then, she took out her phone and made a video call.
07:22She said sweetly,
07:23Brother, Mara is about to give birth.
07:26Do you want to take a look?
07:27Dante's face appeared on the screen.
07:29Mara, stop messing around.
07:30Vivian's situation is critical right now.
07:33Her fetal heart rate has dropped.
07:35Petra titled the phone toward me.
07:36Look, Mara is bleeding this much.
07:38Do you think she is going to die?
07:40Dante frowned and glanced at the screen.
07:42Then, he quickly looked away.
07:43Make her wait a bit.
07:45Once Vivian delivers, the doctors will come down.
07:48Just watch her for now.
07:50I can't leave.
07:51The call ended.
07:52You heard it.
07:54To Dante, Vivian always comes first.
07:58As for you, you are nothing more than a womb.
08:03Now that you're no longer useful, you get thrown away.
08:06I closed my eyes.
08:07I refused to look at her again.
08:08I quietly moved my hand behind my back and felt along the inner lining of my dress.
08:12It was still there.
08:13No bigger than a button.
08:14My father gave it to me.
08:16I could still hear his voice from that day.
08:18Mara, the Harwick family is dangerous.
08:20Mara, if anything ever happens to you, press this.
08:24I had laughed at him for being overcautious.
08:25Dad, Dante treats me well.
08:28I hooked a fingernail under the protective cover and I pressed it.
08:30My father once told me that if I ever used it, someone will come in 30 minutes.
08:34But could my baby last 30 minutes?
08:36My vision was fading.
08:38Petra sat in a chair, scrolling her phone.
08:41Every now and then, she looked up at me like I was some kind of lab rat.
08:45Mara, tell me, why exactly did you marry into this family?
08:49For the looks?
08:50For the Harwick's money?
08:52But didn't you ever think?
08:53You came from nothing.
08:54What made you think you belonged here?
08:56I said nothing.
08:57I clenched my teeth and held on.
08:59Petra kept talking.
09:00At first, everyone thought you might still be useful if you give birth to a son.
09:05But the scan showed it was a girl.
09:08Father was furious.
09:10Thank God Vivian is carrying a boy.
09:12Otherwise, the Harwick family would have no heir.
09:16So learn your place.
09:18If something was never your, don't fight for it.
09:21Once Vivian gives birth, you just need to sign the divorce papers, take some money, and disappear.
09:28After that, you can marry some ordinary man.
09:31Isn't that better?
09:33I forced my eyes open and looked at her.
09:34Does Dante know you're saying this to me?
09:38Petra laughed.
09:40Of course he does.
09:42He's the one who told me to come and persuade you.
09:46He said you're stubborn.
09:49So he asked me to talk sense into you.
09:52I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't.
09:54Another wave of pain hit me, harder than before.
09:57Much harder.
09:58The medication had completely worn off.
10:00The baby was coming.
10:01I cried out before I could stop myself.
10:03Petra took a step back.
10:05What a nuisance!
10:06Her face was full of disgust.
10:08She opened the door and called out,
10:09Someone come check if she's ready to deliver yet!
10:11A nurse walked in, trembling.
10:14She took one look, and her face went pale.
10:17She's fully dilated.
10:19I can already see the baby's head.
10:20But she's bleeding too much.
10:22She has to deliver immediately!
10:23Immediately!
10:24Petra looked impatient.
10:24Then deliver it.
10:25There's no equipment here.
10:27The nurse was about to cry.
10:28No medication here.
10:29If she delivers like this, both of them could die!
10:33They're probably not making it anyway.
10:35So what does it matter?
10:37Then she turned and left to find Dante.
10:39Not even look back once.
10:40She didn't care whether I lived or died.
10:43The nurse didn't say anything else.
10:45She squatted down and tried to help me, but was too weak to push.
10:49I had lost too much blood.
10:50I had no strength left.
10:51The baby was stuck there, unable to move up or down.
10:54Time ticked by, minute by minute.
10:56Every second was agony, until hurried footsteps suddenly echoed in the corridor.
11:00I could tell there were many people out there.
11:02The nurse's face changed.
11:03Who's there?
11:04The door was kicked open.
11:06Men in black tactical uniforms poured in, all carrying weapons.
11:10The leader took off his helmet, revealing a sharply contoured face.
11:14The moment he saw me, his eyes turned red.
11:16Miss!
11:16I opened my mouth, but couldn't make a sound.
11:18I could only reach my hand out to him.
11:20The nurse screamed in panic.
11:21Who are you?
11:22How did you get in?
11:22Security!
11:23Security!
11:24I arrived late.
11:25Please forgive me, miss.
11:26Then he lifted me and gave orders over his shoulder.
11:30Secure this area.
11:31Get the medics in here.
11:32Now!
11:32Yes, sir!
11:33The men moved at once.
11:35The nurse tried to run in the chaos.
11:37One of the men pinned her on the floor.
11:39She struggled and yelled.
11:40How dare you touch me!
11:41This is a sterling hospital!
11:44The man turned back and gave her a cold look.
11:46The Harwick family?
11:48There will be no Harwick family very soon.
11:51I was carried into a custom-built medical van.
11:53It was fully equipped.
11:54Looked like a mobile operating room.
11:56Doctors and nurses were already on standby.
11:58They rushed to save me the second I was brought in.
12:01Blood pressure 60-40.
12:02She's in hemorrhagic shock.
12:04The baby is in distress.
12:06Emergency C-section now.
12:09But the mother's condition is too poor.
12:11The surgery is extremely risky.
12:13Do it!
12:14It's on me!
12:15I grabbed his hand with the last of my strength.
12:19Save the baby.
12:21Please save the baby, Fer.
12:23He held my hand tightly, his voice trembling.
12:26Miss, don't talk.
12:27Save your energy.
12:29Your father is already on his way.
12:31He'll be here soon.
12:32Before he finished speaking, the monitor screamed.
12:36She's flatlining!
12:38Move!
12:39Get the defibrillator!
12:41Immediately!
12:41The fetal heartbeat is dropping!
12:43Now!
12:44Prep for C-section.
12:46They strapped me down fast.
12:49An oxygen mask pressed came over my face.
12:52In the last second before I lost consciousness, I heard the doctor shout.
12:55It's too late!
12:56We out of time!
12:58The baby!
12:59The baby has no heartbeat!
13:03Darkness.
13:04Endless darkness.
13:05I didn't know how much time passed.
13:07When I opened my eyes, all I saw was a ceiling I didn't recognize.
13:11The air smelled of disinfectant.
13:14Someone shouted in pleasant surprise.
13:17The miss is awake!
13:18Several faces leaned over me.
13:20They were all familiar.
13:20My father's personal bodyguards.
13:22The men who had watched me grow up.
13:23Where is...
13:25the baby?
13:26A few seconds later,
13:27the man standing at the foot of the bed turned around.
13:30It was my father.
13:31He was in his fifties.
13:32His hair had turned completely white overnight.
13:35He walked over, sat at the bedside, and held my hand.
13:37Mara.
13:38He choked on just saying my name.
13:39The baby is gone, isn't she?
13:41My father nodded.
13:42Tears fell from his eyes.
13:44You lost too much blood.
13:45The babe was deprived of oxygen for too long.
13:48I closed my eyes.
13:49I didn't cry.
13:50I didn't scream.
13:51It just felt like something inside me had been hollowed out.
13:53That little life.
13:54The one who had lived inside me for nine months.
13:56The one who kicked me every day.
13:57The one I whispered to when no one was around.
14:00Gone.
14:01Where is Dante?
14:02I asked.
14:02My father wiped away his tears.
14:04His eyes turned cold.
14:07He's with Viviana.
14:09She gave birth.
14:10It's a boy.
14:12The entire Harwick family is celebrating.
14:14No one even remembers you.
14:15I laughed.
14:16My whole body trembled with it.
14:18Good.
14:19Good for them.
14:20My father tightened his grip to my hand harder.
14:22Mara, come home with me.
14:23The Harwick family doesn't deserve you.
14:26And neither does that man.
14:27I looked at him.
14:28Dad, I want to do something.
14:30Tell me.
14:31Make me a fake corpse.
14:33It has to look exactly like me.
14:35It has to look like I just gave birth and died from blood loss.
14:38My father was stunned.
14:40You want they to think you're dead?
14:42Yes.
14:43I want them to believe I'm gone.
14:45Then I want to watch them.
14:46I want to see how happy they are.
14:48How they welcome a new life while I'm supposedly buried.
14:52He was quiet for a long time.
14:54Then he nodded.
14:55All right.
14:55I'll help you.
14:56The fake body looks incredibly real.
14:58Silicone human skin filled with blood bags and simulated body temperature.
15:03Placed in the freezer of the morgue.
15:04It looked no different from the real thing.
15:06I sat in the surveillance room and watched the screens.
15:09My father sat beside me, holding my hand.
15:12Do you regret it?
15:13He asked.
15:14Regret what?
15:16Marrying him.
15:17I thought about it for a moment.
15:19Then I shook my head.
15:20No regrets, Dad.
15:22At least I can see people for what they really are.
15:24On screen, Dante finally stepped out of the delivery room.
15:27He was holding a baby in his arms.
15:29His face filled with the joy of a new father.
15:31Vivienne was wheeled out on a mobile bed.
15:34She looked pale, but her smile was bright.
15:36Old Mr. Harwick leaned on his cane and slowly made his way forward.
15:40The moment he saw the baby, his eyes filled with tears.
15:43My grandson.
15:45At last I have a grandson.
15:46The Harwick family finally has an heir.
15:49Everyone gathered around the baby, laughing, smiling, celebrating.
15:53No one asked about me.
15:54Not one remembered that I had been fighting for my life.
15:58Then a nurse spoke softly.
16:00Mr. Harwick, your wife.
16:04Dante acted as if he suddenly remembered and frowned.
16:07How is she?
16:08No news yet.
16:08Dr. Callum is watching over her.
16:10He handed the baby to the nanny.
16:11I'll go take a look.
16:12And headed downstairs.
16:14Petra followed at his heels.
16:15I'm coming too!
16:16The two entered the elevator one after the other.
16:19The surveillance switched to the first floor.
16:21Dr. Callum stood at the door of the empty operating room, leaning against the wall, his face deathly pale.
16:28Seeing Dante, he straightened.
16:30Mr. Harwick, where is my wife?
16:33Dr. Callum opened his mouth, but no words came out.
16:36He turned slightly and pointed toward the morgue.
16:39Dante's expression cracked.
16:40What do you mean?
16:41Dr. Callum lowered his head.
16:43Mrs. Harwick, she suffered a massive hemorrhage.
16:46We couldn't save her.
16:47The baby is gone too.
16:48Dante froze.
16:49As if he hadn't understood, Petra reacted first.
16:52Impossible!
16:53She was so healthy!
16:54She was fine just a moment ago!
16:57Dr. Callum smiled bitterly.
16:58She was never fine.
17:01She lost too much blood.
17:03He covered his face.
17:04There's no equipment, no medicine.
17:07I tried everything I could.
17:09Dante grabbed him by his collar.
17:16What did you say?
17:18My wife is dead.
17:20Dr. Callum nodded, tears falling.
17:22Danze let go, stumbled back two steps, and hit the wall.
17:25No, that's impossible.
17:27Her health was fine.
17:29How could you-
17:29Petra pulled at his arm.
17:31Dante, don't panic.
17:32I'll go check.
17:33She walked quickly to the morgue and pulled open the freezer door.
17:36The silicone face still wore the expression of a woman dying in labor.
17:41The white sheet beneath her was soaked with blood.
17:44Petra stared for several seconds.
17:46Then she covered her mouth, spun around, and rushed out.
17:49Dante, it's true!
17:50Dante pushed past her.
17:51The camera caught him standing in front of the drawer.
17:54He didn't move.
17:55He stood there low-long that even Petra got worried.
17:57She walked in and reached for him.
17:59Dante.
18:00Suddenly, he raised his fist and drove it into the wall.
18:03Why?
18:04Why didn't anyone tell me sooner?
18:07Why didn't she wait for me to get here?
18:09Dr. Callum said quietly from the doorway.
18:11Your phone was off.
18:14The delivery room doesn't allow phone.
18:16Dante wheeled around with his red eyes.
18:18I did!
18:19And you come get me!
18:20It was only from the third floor to the first.
18:22How long does that take?
18:24Don't tell me you didn't have time.
18:25You just stood there and watched her die!
18:27Dr. Callum stopped talking, merely keeping his head down, his shoulders shaking.
18:32Petra spoke carefully.
18:33Dante, don't blame Dr. Callum.
18:35I was the one who stopped him from going up.
18:39Vivian's situation was critical.
18:41I couldn't risk anything interfering with the delivery.
18:43Slap!
18:44The crack rang through the room.
18:46You hit me?
18:48Dante stared back.
18:49You are the one who locked her in the basement.
18:53Petra's eyes darted away.
18:55I just asked her to wait.
18:58Wait!
18:59Fuck waiting!
19:00She was my wife and that was my child.
19:04I asked you to look after her.
19:07Is this your idea of looking after her?
19:09I did it for the Harwick family too.
19:12Vivian had a son.
19:13Mara had a daughter.
19:14Don't you know which matters more?
19:16Dad said the boy is the heir!
19:18Those words seemed to cut straight through him.
19:20He froze, and the anger on his face faded.
19:23So her life meant nothing.
19:25No one answered.
19:26In the morgue, there was only the humming of the air conditioner and suppressed crying.
19:31Dante brought my body back to the Harwick estate.
19:34It was not taken into the main house, but placed in the morning hall of the side courtyard.
19:38Vivian and her baby moved into the master bedroom.
19:41The maternity nurse and the maid stayed close, fussing over them.
19:45Old Mr. Harwick gave his order.
19:46Keep the funeral simple.
19:48Don, disturb the baby.
19:50As for Mara, pick a day and have her cremated.
19:52She's still part of this family.
19:54Make sure she's buried somewhere decent.
19:56Dante said nothing.
19:58He only sat in the morning hall and guarded the coffin.
20:00He refused all food and water for three days and three nights.
20:04Petra came once to talk him into resting, but he sent her away.
20:07Vivian came in once.
20:09The baby was in her arms.
20:10She said softly,
20:11Dante, I'm sorry about what happened.
20:14You can't go on like this.
20:17Mara would have wanted to see you destroying yourself.
20:19Dante looked up at her for a long time.
20:22Then he said,
20:23Do you know what was on her mind when it happened?
20:26Vivian froze.
20:27I was in labor.
20:28I would know.
20:29She kept asking why her husband was there.
20:32Why everyone in this house was waiting for you to give birth.
20:35And no one gave a damn about her!
20:37Dante, what are you implying?
20:40I almost died in labor too.
20:42The baby's heart rate dropped again and again.
20:45Yes.
20:46Dante cut her off.
20:47It was hard for you, but she died and so did her baby.
20:49Did they really mean that little to all of you?
20:52Was it just because she was carrying a son?
20:54Did she deserve to die?
20:56Vivian said nothing.
20:57Her arms tightened around the baby.
20:59Dante stood up and walked to the coffin,
21:02laid his hand gently on the lid.
21:04These past few days, I keep thinking,
21:07if I had been beside her,
21:09would it have ended?
21:10Indidifferently, if I hadn't moved all the equipment to you,
21:13would she have survived?
21:14Vivian bit down on her lip and turned to leave.
21:17Just before she stepped out,
21:19she threw one last line over her shoulder.
21:22Dante,
21:23don't forget,
21:24I'm the one who gave this family a son.
21:26That dead woman is of no use anymore now.
21:29Dante pressed his back against the coffin
21:32and slid slowly to the floor.
21:34He buried his face in his hands.
21:36On the surveillance feed,
21:37I watched his shoulders shake.
21:39How pathetic.
21:40He never cherished me when I was alive.
21:42Only after I died did he finally feel regret.
21:44I sent my father a message.
21:46Can we start now?
21:47He replied at once,
21:49anytime.
21:50Massive problems struck the Harwick family's business empire.
21:53First,
21:54long-term suppliers cut off goods.
21:56Products not meeting standards,
21:58they said.
21:58Dante sent people to meet with them.
22:00They refused to come to the table.
22:02Then the banks called in their loans.
22:04Agreements that had already been signed were declined,
22:06one by one.
22:07Risk control failure,
22:09they said.
22:09The capital chain tightened instantly.
22:12Clients began to disappear.
22:13Several major contracts collapsed without warning,
22:16the clients walking straight to competitors.
22:18Within a month,
22:19the Harwick family's market value shrank by 30%.
22:22Old Mr. Harwick was hospitalized from the stress.
22:25Dante ran between the company and the hospital every day.
22:28The pressure completely overwhelmed him.
22:30Vivienne held the baby and complained.
22:32Why are you been out every day lately?
22:34Don't you care about the baby?
22:40My father is in the hospital and the company is in trouble.
22:44How could I not be worried?
22:45We have more money than we could ever spend.
22:49Dante looked at her.
22:50Do you even know how our family got where it is today?
22:52My grandfather built it,
22:53then my father,
22:54then my brother.
22:56Three generations gave everything they had for it.
22:58It didn't just appear out of thin air.
23:01Vivienne curled her lips.
23:03That does mean that you get to ignore me and the baby.
23:07He isn't even a month old and you're gone every day.
23:11Dante slammed the door and left.
23:13He walked straight to the morning hall.
23:14The coffin was still there, unburied.
23:17They hadn't chosen a burial plot.
23:18He sat against the coffin and talked to himself.
23:21Mara, if you were here, how would you advise me?
23:25You'd probably say,
23:26don't rush, take it slowly.
23:29You were always so calm, so smart.
23:32He pulled a cigarette from his jacket and lit it.
23:34Through the curling smoke, his voice dropped low.
23:37I can't find anyone to talk to anymore.
23:39Dad only knows how to scold me.
23:42Vivienne only asked for money.
23:44Petra only looks out for herself.
23:46Only you never ask for anything.
23:47Only you always thought about helping.
23:49He took a deep drag of the cigarette and started coughing violently.
23:52Tears came out with it.
23:53I'm sorry.
23:54I didn't know it would end like this.
23:56If I had one more chance, I would...
23:58His phone rang.
