Short filmTranscript
00:00I've been reborn. Back to three days before the apocalypse hits.
00:03The moment I opened my eyes, I saw an online post.
00:06Our bio daughter is back for the money. How do we get rid of her permanently?
00:11I felt sorry for this biological daughter, so I left a comment.
00:15Tell her the freeze is coming in three days.
00:17Send her to a mountain cave shelter with three years worth of surprise.
00:20The next day, I dragged my suitcase up to my biological parents' estate.
00:23Before I could even speak, they grabbed my hand.
00:25Sophia, the freeze is coming. We need to get you to a cave shelter.
00:28My heart skipped a week. I thought of that Reddit post and tested them carefully.
00:32Mom, Dad, how do you know about this? They exchanged glances.
00:37Sophia, we've been reborn too. It sounds crazy, but your parents would never lie to you.
00:42Time is running out, and in three days, the freeze will hit.
00:45So, they've been reborn too. I've been too suspicious.
00:48But then something nagged. I tested them again.
00:50Mom, Dad, we don't need to leave. Let's stay here and fortify the estate.
00:54Dad cut me off immediately.
00:55We have to remain here to assist with government relief operations.
00:58The estate will be used to shelter disaster victims.
01:01But anyone who's rebirthed knows that survival is all that matters.
01:03Who would actually stay behind for infrastructure work?
01:06I swallowed the bitterness rising in my throat and decided on one final test.
01:11Don't you have an adopted daughter? I'll go with her then.
01:13Their faces turned cold. People shrank.
01:15They blocked my path in unison.
01:18No! No!
01:19Realizing their mistake, Mom cleared her throat.
01:21You don't understand. Nina has been fragile since childhood.
01:24She needs our personal care. We can only feel at ease if she stays with us.
01:27Exactly. Don't overthink it, your daughter. We'd give our lives to keep you safe.
01:30My heart sank deeper.
01:31If I insisted on taking their adopted daughter with me, their whole plan would fall apart.
01:35At that moment, I became 100% certain my biological parents weren't reborn at all.
01:39They were the ones who made that post.
01:41In my previous life, I'd just learned about my biological parents when the freeze hit.
01:45That's why I'd rushed here after my rebirth, to warn them about the coming apocalypse.
01:50But now, they didn't deserve to know.
01:53I forced a stiff smile.
01:55I'll go alone.
01:56Relief washed visibly over their faces.
02:00But the freeze will last a long time.
02:02I need to prepare adequate supplies to survive.
02:04I'll gather everything tomorrow and head to the cave the day after.
02:07That night, I opened the post again.
02:09My heart turned to ice.
02:11Plan is in motion.
02:13Sending her to the cave the day after tomorrow.
02:15The comment section exploded.
02:17You guys are ruthless.
02:19This bio daughter is kind of pitiful.
02:21My parents replied instantly, their tone cutting.
02:24What's pitiful about her?
02:25If she hadn't come back, she'd still be begging in the street.
02:28Letting her live in a cave where she won't starve, she should be grateful.
02:32I stared at the screen, a cold smile curling my lips.
02:35They'd specially crafted a freeze prison for me.
02:38Hoping to be rid of me forever.
02:40But what they could never imagine was this.
02:43The freeze was real.
02:44And it was coming.
02:47Early the next morning, dad came to find me.
02:50Sophia, we've already located a shelter cave for you.
02:53Once the government relief operations are complete, we'll bring you back out.
02:56I nodded some bainantly.
02:58Alright, but I need a lot of supplies.
02:59And moving everything in and organizing it all requires manware.
03:02I can't do it alone.
03:03Nina suddenly burst out of her room.
03:06Can't you do it yourself?
03:08Fine then.
03:09I'll go hire some help.
03:10Mom and dad panicked immediately.
03:12They were terrified I'd involve outsiders.
03:14If word got out, it would destroy their reputation.
03:17Dad quickly grabbed my arm.
03:18No, no, no.
03:19No need for strangers.
03:20Family is more reliable.
03:22Perfect.
03:22Exactly what I wanted.
03:24For the rest of the day, I directed all three of them like a general commanding troops.
03:27Dad, take the truck and get steel rebar and cement.
03:29Mom, buy long-term food storage, canned bottled water.
03:32Nina, get thermal gear, sleeping bags, and emergency medical supplies.
03:35They drove three trucks back and forth all day, exhausted and drenched in sweat.
03:39I supervised the entire operation.
03:40I didn't lift a finger.
03:41I was going to make them build me an impenetrable fortress with their own hands.
03:43And when the freeze came, I'd let them watch me living comfortably inside.
03:46That evening, dad was installing the final reinforced door at the cave entrance.
03:51The light from outside gradually dimmed.
03:53He patted the iron door with satisfaction.
03:55Now no one can get in, and no one can get out.
03:58I left a small opening at the bottom for passing supplies through.
04:01I looked around the cave.
04:02Supplies were stacked everywhere.
04:04Preserved food and rations piled up like small mountains.
04:07A generator, diesel fuel, and basic medications.
04:11They'd barely taken a few steps when snow began to fall from the sky.
04:14At first, just a few scattered flakes.
04:16Nina cried out in shock.
04:18It's snowing?
04:19How can it be snowing this hard in the middle of summer?
04:21Mom and dad froze too.
04:22Confusion in their eyes.
04:23I turned and walked back into the cave.
04:25My steps light.
04:26Yes, snow in the summer.
04:29Could the freeze be far behind?
04:31As I was leaving, dad deliberately smashed my phone, cutting off my contact with the outside world.
04:36I'd been prepared.
04:37I had a backup phone hidden in my bag.
04:39I opened the news app and found exactly what I expected.
04:42Emergency alerts.
04:43Unpresident to summer stay at home and prepare cold weather protection immediately.
04:46I checked the Reddit post.
04:48Nina had switched to her own account.
04:49That idiot sister actually believes the freeze is coming.
04:52So easy to fool.
04:53Now no one's going to disrupt our perfect family of three.
04:55Someone else can't.
04:56It's literally snowing in summer right now.
04:58What if the freeze is actually coming?
04:59You're as stupid as she is.
05:00I closed the post and headed deeper into the cave toward a small hidden opening.
05:04I deliberately left it there.
05:06It was just big enough for one person to crawl through.
05:10After my rebirth, I'd made sure my adoptive parents prepared early before I left to find
05:14the Ashford's.
05:15But this place, with its fortress built by the Ashford family's own hands and abundant
05:20supplies, was the safest option.
05:22Bringing them here was the right choice.
05:24When I reached my adoptive parents' house, they looked surprised to see me and quickly
05:27pulled me inside.
05:28Sophia, what are you doing back?
05:29Did the Ashford's treat you badly?
05:31Mom, Dad, I came to take you somewhere safe.
05:33Mr. Parker and Mrs. Parker had raised me with love and even encouraged me to find my biological
05:36family.
05:37I kept it brief, not wanting to worry them.
05:39I just said I needed to bring them to a shelter.
05:41My parents packed a few changes of clothes and followed me without question.
05:45As we approached the cave entrance, I suddenly spotted a figure nearby.
05:49I quickly pulled Mom and Dad behind some trees.
05:53It was Nina!
05:55What was she doing here?
05:57Had she seen the summer snow and actually started to believe the freeze was real?
06:01I led my parents around to the back entrance and we crawled into the cave.
06:06Mom, Dad, stay quiet.
06:08I need to check something.
06:11I'd barely started toward the front entrance when my phone burst with a notification.
06:14An update on the post.
06:16The comment section was full of people egging Nina on.
06:19You need to tell her the truth, that the freeze was a lie.
06:22Exactly.
06:22You have to watch her break down and cry.
06:24That's the world's ending.
06:25She needs to know how stupid she is for believing you.
06:28I smiled coldly and walking straight toward the entrance.
06:31I heard Nina's impatient voice from outside.
06:33Sophia, are you dead in there or what?
06:36What do you want?
06:37My sudden response startled her.
06:39Sophia, I came to tell you the truth.
06:41There is no freeze.
06:42It was all a setup.
06:43Me, Mom, and Dad planned the whole thing.
06:45The cave is a prison we built just for you.
06:47So you'd never bother us again for the rest of your life.
06:49She expected me to break down crying, to beg her.
06:52But I stayed unurgingly calm.
06:53I know.
06:54Yeah, right.
06:55How could you possibly...
06:56Nina didn't believe me.
06:57The freeze is real.
06:58It's coming tonight at midnight.
06:59I cut her off.
07:00Nina burst out laughing.
07:02Sophia, you really are an idiot.
07:03I already told you it was a lie and you still don't get it.
07:06She laughed maniacally and walked away.
07:08Nina told you the truth.
07:10You chose not to believe me.
07:11That's not my fault.
07:12That night, we put on thick thermal suits.
07:14Mom, Dad, the freeze begins tonight at midnight.
07:17There will be massive hail.
07:18Don't be scared.
07:19We're safe in here.
07:20No matter what kind of disaster comes, as long as the three of us together, we have nothing
07:23to fear.
07:24Meanwhile, back at the estate, Nina updated the post immediately.
07:27Okay, everyone, I'm counting down for my idiot sister.
07:3011.59 p.m., one minute left.
07:32Tomorrow, I'll show her the entire comment section so she knows exactly how stupid she
07:35is.
07:36I refreshed the post over and over, watched Nina laughing triumphantly in the comments,
07:40watched strangers join in the mockery.
07:42The smile on my face grew colder.
07:44My heart pounded faster.
07:46The freeze was finally coming.
07:48In the last 10 seconds, the comments filled with synchronized countdown.
07:52The countdown ended.
07:53The comment section suddenly went quiet.
07:5510 seconds passed.
07:5720.
07:57No sound of hail.
07:59Everything remained normal.
08:01After half a minute, the post came back to life.
08:03Not a damn thing happened.
08:04She confidently predicted midnight and got her face slapped.
08:06Nina was even more triumphant.
08:07See?
08:08There's no such thing as the freeze.
08:09She's a complete and upsellor idiot.
08:10Now she'll definitely rot in that cave forever.
08:12Sophia, what's going on?
08:13You said midnight, but the freeze, it didn't come.
08:16I didn't respond.
08:17I just focused on listening for any sound from outside.
08:20The post's traffic was exploding.
08:22More and more people flooded in to mock me.
08:24Nina was practically bouncing in the comments.
08:26See, I should have known she was this trusting.
08:28I could have just told her she owed loan max and needed to hide.
08:30She would have believed that too.
08:32More commenters piled on.
08:33Calling me a small town person who'd come crawling back to her birth parent for money.
08:37My adopted appearance beside me were trembling.
08:39Their voices shaking.
08:40Sophia, what's happening?
08:41Did you, did you remember the wrong time?
08:44Are you sure it's tonight?
08:45Mom, Dad, I couldn't have gotten it wrong.
08:47It's definitely tonight.
08:48Midnight exactly.
08:49But even as I said it, doubt crept into my mind.
08:52Could my rebirth have somehow altered the timeline?
08:56Created some kind of deviation?
08:58The thought had barely formed when...
09:01Boom.
09:02Then a rapid series of crackling sounds followed,
09:05like countless hard objects slamming against the iron door.
09:08My heart jumped.
09:09I rushed to the door and pressed my ear against it.
09:13I spun around and grabbed my parents' hands.
09:16Mom, Dad, the freeze is here.
09:18It's hail.
09:19Massive hail is falling outside.
09:21Their nerves snapped to attention.
09:22They listened carefully and heard it too.
09:25The unmistakable sound of hail battering everything outside.
09:28So the freeze really is real?
09:31I almost laughed.
09:32They'd been doubting me this whole time, thinking I'd imagined everything.
09:35The hail grew louder and heavier outside.
09:37Faintly, I could hear the rumble of something collapsing, probably part of the mountain shifting.
09:42I immediately pulled Mom and Dad deeper into the cave.
09:44I turned on the diesel heater.
09:46Even as the temperature plummeted outside, the cave remained warm and cozy, completely unaffected.
09:51I opened the Reddit post again.
09:53The mockery had vanished.
09:55In its place was pure panic.
09:57Help!
09:57There really is sized hail.
09:59It shattered all the glass on my balcony.
10:01Oh my God, I was just downstairs getting a package and I saw two people get hit in the head
10:04by hail.
10:05There was blood everywhere.
10:06They just collapsed and stopped moving.
10:08This isn't normal hail.
10:09Is the freeze actually real?
10:11Impossible!
10:11How could it be the freeze?
10:12It's just a hail pass in a few hours.
10:14Don't let that idiot Sophia infect you with her delusions!
10:16Someone posted a video they'd just filmed.
10:18The footage showed fist-sized hail raining down violently.
10:22Cars were dented and battered.
10:23Tree branches snapped.
10:25People paddled in thick coats were running through the snow in terror.
10:28Beneath the video, the comments tore into Nina.
10:31Still denying it?
10:32Are you blind?
10:33When you're freezing to death, you'll find out if it's real.
10:36Nina tried to fight back in the comments, but within minutes, she went silent.
10:41Because in just 15 minutes, the temperature had plunged to Mice 58 Farias.
10:46I opened my phone.
10:47Official news was already broadcasting reports on the freeze.
10:50On the screen, the city had ground to a complete halt,
10:53transformed into a frozen wasteland.
10:55Supermarkets had been looted bare.
10:58Temperatures nationwide had dropped below 158 Farias.
11:01Water and heating systems had failed entirely.
11:04All essential supplies were critically scarce.
11:07The entire nation had officially entered a state of emergency.
11:11Watching the devastation unfold, my parents' eyes filled with tears.
11:16Thank God you brought us here.
11:18Otherwise, we'd have, we'd have...
11:20Dad, don't worry.
11:22We're safe here.
11:23Meanwhile, Nina's post had skyrocketed to the number one trending topic nationwide.
11:28She'd become a target for everyone's rage.
11:31The people who'd been mocking me earlier had completely turned against the Ashford family.
11:34You spent all that time calling your bio daughter an idiot.
11:36Now you know she wasn't lying.
11:37The freeze is here.
11:38What a heartless family.
11:39You created a fake apocalypse to lock away your own daughter.
11:41And now the apocalypse turned out to be real.
11:43This is poetic justice.
11:44Nina lost her mind and started firing back in the car.
11:46Mind your own business.
11:47So what if she knew about the freeze?
11:48She's still just a prisoner locked in a cave.
11:50My family has money and property.
11:52We're doing a thousand times better than her.
11:53Stop lie.
11:54I live near you.
11:54I saw your windows get smashed by hail.
11:55Your heating's out too, isn't it?
11:56Panicking now?
11:57What good is money and property?
11:59You can't buy food even if you wanted to.
12:00Enjoy starving to death.
12:01Two days passed.
12:02The freeze didn't ease.
12:04It only intensified.
12:06Global temperatures continued to break new lows.
12:09Panics spread everywhere.
12:11Nina's post updated again.
12:13Is anyone nearby?
12:14We're almost out of food and our heat's been cut off.
12:17Can someone please bring us food and heating supplies?
12:19We'll pay.
12:19Please, we're begging.
12:20The comment section was erupted with mockery.
12:22Not a single Marston offered help.
12:23Who's going to risk their life and deliver this cold?
12:25You reap what you sow.
12:26You deserve this.
12:27Didn't you stock three years of supplies for your bio daughter?
12:29Go to the cave and ask her for food.
12:31Maybe if you're lucky, she'll take pity on you.
12:33If you hadn't gone to the Tildo, she might have felt sorry enough to let you in.
12:37Nina stared at the comments, speechless with rage but completely powerless.
12:41Meanwhile, my parents and I were living comfortably in the cave.
12:45We used the generator for power and heat every day.
12:48We ate hot canned food and rations.
12:51One morning, we were finishing breakfast when suddenly...
12:54Bang, bang, bang!
12:57Someone was pounding on the iron door.
13:00Nina's and the Ashford's shrill voices rang out.
13:03Sophia!
13:04Get out of here!
13:05Open this door!
13:06Sophia!
13:07We're your parents!
13:08Let us in!
13:09You heartless beach!
13:11Are you just going to watch us freeze and starve to death?
13:13I walked to the entrance and looked through a crack in the door.
13:17Nina and the Ashford's were buttled head to toe in layers.
13:21But their faces were deathly pale, their lips blue.
13:26Frost-coated their hair and eyebrows.
13:29They'd clearly lodged a long way through the mountains to get here.
13:33Why should I let you in?
13:35Because we're your parents!
13:36We gave birth to you!
13:37You're oblated to take care of us!
13:39It's freezing out here!
13:40Let us in or we'll freeze to death!
13:41Sophia!
13:42Don't act fool!
13:43Open the door!
13:43There are enough supplies in there for all five of us to survive!
13:46If you don't open up, I'll bring people here to tear this cave apart!
13:49Bring people?
13:50You think anyone's going to risk their life in this weather to help you?
13:53Nina had no response.
13:54Sophia, honey, I know we were wrong.
13:56We shouldn't have lied to you.
13:58Please, just forgive us this once.
13:59Let us in and we'll make it up to you.
14:01We'll give you everything.
14:02The entire inheritance, please?
14:04The inheritance?
14:05The freeze is here.
14:06Money means nothing now.
14:07And your inheritance?
14:08I don't want it.
14:09I paused, then delivered the final blow.
14:11Besides, you think sending me to this cave was your own idea?
14:14Nina and the Ashford's frozen.
14:15Remember that post asking how to get rid of your biological daughter?
14:18The one where someone suggested lying about the freeze and sending her to a cave?
14:22That commenter?
14:23Was me.
14:24What?
14:24Their faces went pale.
14:25Disbelief written all over them.
14:27That's impossible!
14:28How could it have been you?
14:29I didn't expect the people who made that post would be you either.
14:31I felt sorry for that biological daughter in the post.
14:33I wanted to give her a safe place to survive the freeze.
14:35I never imagined that daughter was me.
14:37Ironic, isn't it?
14:38The truth hit them like a freight train.
14:40You ungrateful girl!
14:41You set us up!
14:42I'm gonna smash this door open and drag you out to freeze!
14:44He swung the pickaxe at the iron door.
14:46I wasn't worried.
14:47This door had been reinforced according to my exact specifications.
14:50Steel rebar and concrete, the strongest they could build.
14:52A pickaxe wouldn't even dent it.
14:53Even a power saw would take hours.
14:55Marcus managed a few strikes before collapsing, gasping for air.
14:59They'd hiked all the way up the mountain.
15:00Their bodies were already at their limit.
15:02In this cold, they had nothing left.
15:04Within minutes, Marcus crumpled into the snow, wheezing heavily.
15:07Claire and Nina weren't much better.
15:08They leaned against the wall, shaking controllably, barely able to stand.
15:11If you turn back now, you might make it to the estate before your body temperatures drop too low.
15:15Maybe you'll survive, but if you stay here, you won't make it.
15:17The three of them glared at me with pure hatred, but their bodies had reached their breaking point.
15:21After a moment, I heard shuffling footsteps.
15:23Through the crack in the door, I watched them support each other, staggering down the mountain.
15:28Their curses echoed behind them.
15:29Thank God they left.
15:30I was so scared they'd break in.
15:33I nodded, but I knew better.
15:35With the Ashford's greed and cruelty, this was far from over.
15:39And I was right.
15:40The Ashford's didn't give up.
15:42They did something far worse.
15:44They started a live stream, and they twisted the entire story.
15:48My sister Sophia hoarded supplies and caused the huge disaster.
15:52By the time I clicked on it, the stream already had hundreds of thousands of viewers.
15:59Everyone.
16:01Please, you have to hear me out.
16:03The person who suggested my parents send Sophia to that cave?
16:06That was Sophia herself.
16:07She knew the freeze was coming, but she didn't tell anyone.
16:08If she just warned people, everyone could have prepared.
16:10The country wouldn't be in ruins like this.
16:12She paused for dramatic effect.
16:13But she kept it secret.
16:14She only cared about saving herself.
16:15She tricked my whole family into building her survival bunker and stop dealing three years' worth of supplies, all for
16:19her alone.
16:20She knew the freeze was real, but she let us all suffer.
16:23She's sitting in that cave, warm and safe, while the rest of us are freezing and starving.
16:27It's not fair.
16:27The comment section exploded.
16:29She knew it didn't warn anyone?
16:30How can someone be so selfish?
16:31We're all freezing to death out here, and she's living comfortably in a shelter?
16:34This is disgusting.
16:35Nina watched the outrage build.
16:36A flicker of satisfactions in her eyes.
16:38I know everyone's suffering right now.
16:39I am too.
16:40My family bought all those supplies for Sophia.
16:42Three full years of food, water, heating fuel.
16:44The cave could easily shelter dozens of people.
16:46Keeping it to herself, it's so unfair.
16:47Then Marcus and Claire stepped into frame, looking weak and pitiful.
16:50It was Sophia who left that comment on our post.
16:52It's a lie for us under the cave.
16:53We never would have thought of something so cruel on our own.
16:55But regardless, we bought those supplies.
16:56We built that shelter.
16:57That's real money, real resources.
16:58And now she's hoarding everything while the world is dying.
17:00She won't even let us in.
17:01She told us we deserve to breathe.
17:02We're not trying to take everything from her.
17:03We just want her to share some of the supplies so more people can survive.
17:06But she locked us out.
17:07She cursed us.
17:08Look, here's proof of everything we bought for her.
17:11500 cases of rations alone.
17:13Dozens of barrels of fuel.
17:15When viewers saw the supplies, the backlash intensivated.
17:18She has that much and won't share?
17:20Why should one person it'll share?
17:22She's a demon.
17:22Sophia, if you have any conscience, come out and face us.
17:25I watched the live dream coldly, immediately understanding their plan.
17:28They were using the internet to weaponize the crowd against me.
17:30Even if no one could actually storm the cave, they'd destroy my reputation forever.
17:34And if anyone did manage to break in, the Ashford's would sit back and reap the benefits.
17:37We already went to the cave once, but she chased us away.
17:40She screamed at us, said we all deserve to die.
17:42We're too scared to go back.
17:43If anyone's brave enough to try, I can tell 10 people where the cave is, just to see if
17:47there's any way to get through to her.
17:48But please be careful.
17:49The moment she said it, the comment section went wild.
17:52Dozens of people volunteered immediately, desperate for a chance at those supplies.
17:57Nina selected 10 users and privately sent them the location.
18:01I hope you all can get through to her.
18:03Maybe she'll share the supplies with people who really need them.
18:05That afternoon, I heard chaotic footsteps approaching the cave.
18:09I looked through the crack in the door.
18:1210 men in heavy winter gear were heading toward the entrance, carrying hammers and crowbars.
18:18Sophia, come out!
18:19Hand over the cave!
18:21Open the door!
18:21Give us the supplies or we'll smash this door down and throw you out to freeze!
18:24They shouted threats while slamming their tools against the iron door.
18:26Sophia, what do we do?
18:27Can they really break in?
18:28Don't worry, they can't get through.
18:29This door is bulletproof.
18:30Even under normal conditions, they couldn't break it.
18:32In this cold, their strength will run out twice as fast.
18:33Sure enough, after half an hour of hammering, the men completely exhausted.
18:36When they realized the door wouldn't fudge, they tried negotiating.
18:39Sophia, look, we know this is hard for you too, but it's brutal out there.
18:43People are dying.
18:44Impossible.
18:44I earned these supplies through my own efforts.
18:46Why should I give them to you?
18:48You were manipulated by Nina.
18:49If you want supplies, go ask her.
18:51I turned away, pulling mom and dad back into the cave's interior.
18:54In my past life, my parents and I died because we were too soft-hearted.
18:57We'd been hiding in a cellar in the countryside with limited supplies, barely enough to last a few weeks.
19:01A little girl showed up crying at our door, saying her family was dead and begging us to take her
19:05in.
19:05We felt sorry for her and let her stay, but she turned out to be a snake.
19:09She secretly told a group of starving people where we were hiding, and they stormed in.
19:13They took over our cellar and threw us out into the cold.
19:16My parents and I froze to death in the Linus 70F3 wasteland.
19:20So in this life, I refuse to repeat that mistake.
19:24I would never show mercy to anyone again.
19:27Within minutes, the voices outside faded completely.
19:31After those men left, the Ashfields' lives didn't continue.
19:35Nina saw that the men had failed and became even more vicious.
19:43See? She's exactly as heartless as I said.
19:45Those people were begging her, and she still refused to help.
19:48I smiled coldly, pulled out my phone, and started my own live dream.
19:51When the Ashfields and their viewers saw me appear on screen, they froze in shock.
19:55You! How do you have a phone? How can you stream?
19:58I knew the post was yours.
20:00Did you really think I wouldn't prepare?
20:02The viewers from Nina's stream flood into mine, and the comments erupted.
20:07Sophia! You selfish beach! Hand over the cave!
20:10Share the supplies! You can't just let everyone die!
20:13I ignored the insults and calmly explained everything from the beginning.
20:16I told them about the Reddit post asking how to permanently get rid of a biological daughter.
20:21I told them how I'd left a comment suggesting the cave idea, feeling sorry for that unknown girl.
20:25I told them how I never imagined I was that girl.
20:28When I showed them screenshots of the original post, of Nina and the Ashfields mocking me,
20:32calling me stupid for believing in the freeze, the comment section went silent.
20:35Then it exploded in a completely different direction.
20:38Holy shit! They were going to imprison her for life?
20:40So she actually saved herself by leaving that comment? This is insane.
20:43The Ashfields are the real monsters here. How did you know the freeze was real?
20:46Because I've lived through this before. The freeze will last three years, but don't panic.
20:48The government's working fast. Relief operations are already underway.
20:51If you stay inside and hold on for a few more days, heating supplies will start being distributed.
20:55People without heat will be moved to emergency shelters.
20:58Hearing this, people in the comments began to calm down and even started thanking me.
21:01Thank you, Sophia. You're a good person. It was the Ashfields who were evil all along. They're so twisted.
21:06Fine, tomorrow. You better keep that door locked, because if I get in, I'll make you pay!
21:09I closed the live stream, my heart racing. I provoked them on purpose, because I knew that tomorrow,
21:14the global temperature would suddenly climate to 100 EFRE. Let's see if they'd still be so arrogant then.
21:18I was looking forward to watching the Ashfords despair.
21:20The next day, it wasn't until noon that I heard movement outside the cave.
21:24I looked through the crack and saw the Ashfords stumbling toward us, supporting each other.
21:28They looked even worse than before. Their eyes were unfocused, glazed over.
21:32They'd clearly used every last ounce of strength just to climb up here.
21:35Sophia! Get out here! Open the door! Give us the cave!
21:42Sophia, you beach! Open up! Or I swear, even if I die, I'm dragging you down with me!
21:48I walked to the entrance.
21:50I'm impressed you actually came. You knew I'd never let you in, and you still showed up.
21:54Stop talking! This cave should be ours! Those supplies are ours! You have no right to keep them!
21:58No right? You sent me here yourselves. You spent all that effort trying to imprison me here for life.
22:03Now you want it back? Don't you think that's a little ridiculous?
22:05Don't get cocky! You think you'll be fine after three years? The second you come out, we'll destroy you with
22:12one word!
22:13We'll crush you like an insect!
22:15Too bad you won't live three years to see it.
22:18I turned and walked deeper into the cave.
22:20A few minutes later, sounds erupted from the back of the cave.
22:24My heart jumped. I spun around.
22:27There was a banging noise coming from deep inside, from the small ventilation opening.
22:32The Ashfords had found it.
22:34Marcus was swinging a small hammer at the edges.
22:36Quick! Make this hole bigger! We can crawl through!
22:40Claire and Nina clawed at the falling rocks with their bare hands.
22:44Mom, Dad and I immediately started piling stones and supply boxes against the opening to block it.
22:49The hammer struck again and again, chipping away at the opening, making it wider.
22:53Nina peered through the expanding gap and spotted us.
22:56Mom! Dad! There are two more people in here! Get them out!
22:59Then this whole cave is ours!
23:00Sophia! You are so mean! I'll make sure you get thrown out in the cold for this!
23:05Mom and Dad turned pale and immediately stepped in front of me.
23:08It's okay. They can't get through.
23:15Just then, the hammering stopped abruptly.
23:19The Ashford's triumphant screaming cut off mid-sentence.
23:23The entire cave fell deathly silent.
23:25Even though we were deep inside the cave, wearing thick thermal gear with the heater running,
23:29I suddenly felt a bone-deep chill.
23:31What just happened? Why did everything go quiet?
23:35I looked through the widened gap toward the outside.
23:38What I saw made us all freeze.
23:40The Ashford's were locked in their positions, mid-swing, mid-reach, completely motionless.
23:45Their bodies were covered in a thick layer of frost, transformed into three Grotex ice sculptures.
23:50Their eyes were still wide open, but there was no life left in them.
23:53Just moments ago, the global temperature had plummeted to 100 F.E.F.
23:57We immediately began sealing the opening with everything we could find.
24:01I pulled out my phone.
24:03The news was broadcasting emergency alerts.
24:07Emergency. Global temperatures have dropped to 100 tree-kepper-thane.
24:10All citizens has caused to remain indoors.
24:12Do not go outside under any circumstances.
24:14Looking at the news, I let out a cold laugh.
24:16If the Ashford's hadn't been so greedy, hadn't been so cool,
24:20they might have made it to an emergency shelter and survived.
24:22But they kept coming after me, kept trying to destroy me.
24:26And now they've paid the ultimate price.
24:29They had no one to blame but themselves.
24:31I reached out to the local relief coordinator and offered to trade supplies.
24:36The worker was incredibly grateful and even offered to bring us an emergency shelter.
24:42I declined politely.
24:44We were safe here.
24:46There was no need to take up shelter space that others desperately needed.
24:50Over the next three years, without the Ashford's to bother us,
24:54Mom, Dad, and I lived peacefully in the cave.
24:57Days turned into weeks.
24:59Weeks into months.
25:00Outside, the temperature gradually began to rise.
25:03The freeze was finally coming to an end.
25:05Three years later, in the early spring,
25:07a relief team came and broke open the iron door with specialized equipment.
25:11Warm sunlight poured into the cave.
25:13All three of us couldn't help but cry.
25:15We'd finally made it.
25:19We stepped out of the cave.
25:21The first thing I saw was three bodies near the entrance.
25:25I looked at them without a shred of sympathy,
25:28then turned and walked away.
25:30The freeze had taken countless lives.
25:35But these three died because of their own greed and cruelty.
25:42Perhaps that was the most fitting punishment of all.
25:45As we walked down the mountain,
25:46a gentle breeze blew past us.
25:48The sun was warm on our skin.
25:51Everything was returning to normal.
25:52The suffering of the past was finally over.
25:55From now on, Mom, Dad, and I would start a new life together.
25:59I would start a new life together.
