Short filmTranscript
00:00The first thing the PAC doctor told me when I woke up was that my pup was gone.
00:06The second was that my mate, Zane, our PAC's formidable Gamma Commander, was too busy comforting
00:11another woman to answer the hospital's frantic mind links.
00:15When Zane finally burst through the clinic doors, he brought the freezing stench of the
00:19storm with him.
00:20His eyes were bloodshot.
00:21But he didn't look at me with grief.
00:23He looked at me with pure, unadulterated fury.
00:29A fucking life, Serena!
00:31How could you make a decision like that without a single word?
00:37I slipped in the mud, trying to board up our roof during the storm.
00:41I called out for you through our bond.
00:43He lunged forward, his large calloused hand gripping my chin, forcing me to meet his furious
00:48gaze.
00:48The doctor said you miscarried.
00:51But I know you, Serena.
00:53Serena.
00:54You were furious that I gave the sanctuary pass to Quinn.
01:00Did you take Wolfsame?
01:01Did you kill our pup just to spine me?
01:06I flapped his hand away.
01:08You gave her the pass to the human safe zone.
01:11You left me to weather the storm alone while you fixed her roof because she's scared of
01:15thunder.
01:15If the pup survived, we wouldn't have the resources to feed it anyway.
01:22Zane growled, pacing the room like a caged beast.
01:26If you just learn to budget properly, my gamma stipends is more than enough to feed you and
01:31a pup!
01:34Oh really?
01:35But how would that work, Zane?
01:38You have to save half your stiffage to support Quinn.
01:45Quinn's an Omega.
01:48She's fragile, and she's my dead captain's widow.
01:51He died saving my life on the battlefield.
01:54It is my sworn duty to take care of her.
01:57Why are you always so fucking, Jella, grieving widow?
02:03I stared down at my flat, aching stomach.
02:06The phantom weight of my pup was a gaping hole in my soul.
02:09Ever since I got pregnant, Quinn had been crying every single day.
02:13She would show up at our porch, tears spilling over her huge, innocent eyes, sobbing about
02:18how she was barren, how she would never be blessed with a pup.
02:22It didn't take long for Zane to lose his patience.
02:24He started scolding me in front of the entire pack, calling me an insensitive bitch for rubbing
02:29my pregnancy in Quinn's face.
02:32Believe whatever helps you sleep at night, Commander.
02:35The pup is gone.
02:37You win.
02:38Before Zane could snap back, the heavy hospital door creaked open.
02:43Serena, did you really, did you really kill the pup?
02:48Her face as pale as snow.
02:50She gasped out.
02:52It's my fault.
02:53My body is so weak and Zane worries about me too much.
02:56If you were angry, you should have punished me.
02:59Why would you hurt an innocent pup?
03:03Zane rushed to her side, wrapping his strong arms around her waist, catching her before she
03:08could fall.
03:08His eyes were filled with nothing but raw, tender panic.
03:12Even an outsider, you can see how monstrous this is.
03:14You murdered your own flesh and blood, and now you're taking it out on Quinn?
03:19Zane, don't yell at her.
03:20It's my fault.
03:21I'm just a burden.
03:23His large hand rubbing circles on her back, so gentle, so practiced, I watched them.
03:28The agonizing cramps in my uterus flared, but the pain in my chest had entirely disappeared.
03:33There was nothing left but ice.
03:36Serena, Quinn is having a panic attack.
03:39I'm taking her back to the pack house.
03:41You need to cool off and think about what you've done.
03:44He scooped the delicate Omega up in his arms and strode out of the room without a backward
03:49glance.
03:50Silence swallowed the room.
03:54Silence swallowed the room.
03:55A nurse hurried in.
03:57Where did the gamma go?
03:58Your surgery bill is still short of 20 silver coins.
04:02I laughed.
04:03A dry, scraping sound.
04:06I'm discharging myself, I said, ripping the IV out of my arm.
04:11I'm discharging myself.
04:14Are you crazy?
04:15You just had a DCU to clean out the miscarriage.
04:18You're still bleeding.
04:19You could die.
04:21I'm hard to kill.
04:26I was done.
04:28I didn't want him, and I didn't want this bond anymore.
04:33Zane looked at the papers I slapped onto the cheap, rotting wood of my slum apartment table.
04:38He burst into a harsh, grating laugh that vibrated with his gamma dominance.
04:45A formal mate rejection?
04:46Are you out of your fucking mind, Serena?
04:49You're throwing away our bond over a sanctuary pass?
04:51A bond with you is worse than having no bond at all.
04:54I am done watching Quinn's pathetic act.
04:57I am done being stepped on so you can play the tragic, honorable hero.
05:01Then go do your duty.
05:03Just leave me out of it.
05:07Sign the paper.
05:09I, Serena, reject you, Zane Se-
05:17I know your hormones are everywhere because of the miscarriage.
05:20You're emotional.
05:21I get it.
05:24I'm gonna try and be patient with you.
05:26He stepped around the table, reaching out to pull me into his chest.
05:30Serena, stop this.
05:32Pack your bags.
05:34Come back to the pack house.
05:35We can talk about the rejection later.
05:37That is your house.
05:39Not mine.
05:41Get out.
05:42If you don't sign it, I'll petition the Alpha to forcibly sever the bond.
05:46Zane rubbed his temples, looking exhausted.
05:49You don't have a job here.
05:50You don't have a clan backing you.
05:54How do you plan to survive without me, Serena?
05:58You'll starve in this neutral zone.
06:03Don't worry about me, Commander.
06:05I just secured a permit to open an epithetary stall in the dirt market.
06:09Gathering herbs in the mud is a filthy job, but it'll keep me fed.
06:15Serena, how could you do manual labor like that?
06:18It's all my fault.
06:19I shouldn't have taken the path to the human zone.
06:21You can beat me.
06:22You can curse me, Serena, but please don't humiliate Zane like this.
06:28Working in the dirt market ruins his reputation as a Gamma.
06:35Look at her, Serena.
06:36Look at how selfless Quinn is, and look at yourself.
06:40When did you become such a cold-blooded, spiteful bitch?
06:43You'd rather dig in the mud and drag my name through the dirt than come home and act like
06:47a proper mate.
06:48You are unbelievable.
06:49Take your pathetic stray and get the fuck out of my house, Zane.
06:51You're dirtying my floor.
06:52Good.
06:53If you want to act tough, then stay here.
06:54Let's see how long your pride lasts when you're freezing to death.
06:57He wrapped a protective arm around the sobbing Quinn and stormed out, slamming the rotting
07:02door so hard the hinges screamed.
07:04Leave her be, Quinn.
07:06She's just throwing a tantrum.
07:07I walked slowly to the door and slid the heavy iron deadbolt into place.
07:11Crawl back to you?
07:13I'd rather let the rogues tear my throat out.
07:16The neutral zone market smelled of sweat, raw meat, and desperation.
07:20I rented the cheapest open-air spot by the gutters and set up my apothecary stall.
07:24I woke up before dawn to forage in the dangerous outskirts and stayed up late brewing healing
07:29salves and stamina potions.
07:31Because my potions were potent and my prices fair, my stall quickly became the busiest in
07:36the market.
07:37In this harsh world, hard work was my only currency.
07:41Gossip trickled down from the human safe zone.
07:44I heard that Quinn had used my sanctuary pass to get a cushy job in the human textile factory.
07:48She wore a brand new cashmere coat bought by Zane, but she was too fragile.
07:53She complained about the cotton dust hurting her throat, whined about the lad machines,
07:58took sick leave constantly, and ruined a massive batch of expensive dyed fabric.
08:03The human boss wanted to fire her, but Zane used his gamma influence to protect her.
08:08I just smirked, handed a fresh bottle of wolfbane antidote to a mercenary, and felt absolutely
08:14nothing.
08:15One evening, as I was packing up my crates, the heavy stomping of combat boots made the
08:20ground vibrate.
08:21Several heavily armed market enforcers blocked my stall.
08:25Zane's personal beta guard, Jax, was among them, pacing anxiously, avoiding my eyes.
08:31My stomach dropped.
08:32Before I could speak, the enforcer captain, wearing a red armband, stepped up.
08:37Serena, we received a tip.
08:40You're accused of smuggling lethal contraband into packed territory.
08:44You must have the wrong person.
08:45I sell healing herbs.
08:47What contraband?
08:48Search it!
08:50Four wolves tore my stall apart.
08:53Less than two minutes later, an enforcer dragged two heavy wooden crates from under my
08:57table and smashed them on the ground.
08:59The wood splintered.
09:01Dozens of pure silver daggers coated in refined, weaponized wolf's vein spilled out on
09:07to the cobblestones.
09:09That's weaponized wolf bait on those silver blades.
09:13She's selling lethal weapons to rogues.
09:16I dug as now was to.
09:18That's a death sentence.
09:21I stared at the silver daggers, my blood turning to ice.
09:25Those crates weren't mine.
09:27I had been framed.
09:28The crowd parted and Quinn shrank forward.
09:31Serena, how could you be so stupid?
09:35But her eyes gleamed maliciously as they swept over me.
09:38She cried, making sure her voice carried to everyone.
09:41I told you to stop doing illegal things, but you called me a nosy bitch!
09:49She pulled a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket, waving it as if it burned her fingers.
09:54You said, you said because you lost the pup you wanted to make fast money to buy your
09:58way into the safe zone!
09:59It was the most absurd, sickening lie I had ever heard.
10:02Zane pushed his way to the front.
10:04When his eyes landed on the wolf's vein coated silver, his face turned the color of ash.
10:09He looked at me, his-
10:12Serena!
10:14If you needed money, why didn't you come to me?
10:17Why would you shame me and the pack by doing this?
10:19Zane, don't blame her!
10:21She lost her mind after the miscarriage.
10:23I tried to stop her, but she said I didn't understand what it's like to be poor.
10:27He turned to the enforcer captain.
10:31Captain, she has committed a crime.
10:33I am a gamma of this pack.
10:35I will not shield a criminal.
10:37But, please, considering she recently suffered a miscarriage and is mentally unstable, show
10:49her mercy.
10:51I will take her punishment.
10:53I will beg the Alpha.
10:57I'll give up my rank to pay off her sins.
11:01Just don't let them execute her.
11:04In my past life, I would have begged for this kind of protection.
11:08Now, hearing it, knowing he said it only because he completely bought Quinn's bullshit, made me want to vomit.
11:14He didn't even ask me if I did it.
11:17He just instantly condemned me, playing the righteous hero who still loved his broken, wicked mate.
11:23Four years as mates, Zane?
11:25And you genuinely think I'm the kind of bitch who would smuggle wolf-lice coated silver just for a quick
11:30buck?
11:30I spat, my voice laced with venom.
11:33Zane flinched.
11:34His eyes were completely bloodshot, filled with that sickening, patronizing disappointment.
11:41The contraband is literally sitting in front of you.
11:44Do you want to be executed, Serena?
11:47Is it so fucking hard to just admit you made a mistake?
11:50He grabbed my shoulders, his grip bruising my skin.
11:52Just plead guilty.
11:54Pay the fine.
11:55I'll handle the Alpha.
11:56I will strip myself of my Gamma title to save you from the Silver Block, but you need to submit!
12:04This was Zane, always intoxicating himself with his own profound, sacrificial love, while physically shoving me into a fucking abyss.
12:12I didn't do it!
12:14I snarled, shoving his chest so hard he stumbled back.
12:21I'd rather let them tear my throat out than confess to a lie!
12:26Suddenly, old Madam Clara, the human woman who rented me the stall space, charged forward.
12:31She was brandishing a heavy iron soup ladle like a weapon.
12:34Who the hell are you calling a smuggler?
12:36This girl works herself to the bone before the sun even rises.
12:42She doesn't have time to deal with rogue scum!
12:44Then, Clara paused, her eyes widening.
12:47Wait a damn minute.
12:48I saw you!
12:50You were sneaking around Serena's crates last night.
12:54I thought you were just a jealous friend snooping around.
12:57You planted this shit!
13:03Quinn's face lost every drop of color.
13:05Zane!
13:05I can't breathe!
13:05She immediately swayed on her feet, clutching her chest as if she had been shot.
13:11My heart!
13:11And just like that, the crowd's sympathy swung right back to the frail, trembling Omega.
13:16Weakness was always a weapon.
13:19Zane's expression turned utterly lethal.
13:22Blind you shelving t'history.
13:24Are you, you sign-tid you people?
13:26Stantz been spotting the Xurid to Gowen and his belongs in a night to Ghent.
13:31Are you trying to give her a fatal heart attack just to escape punishment?
13:38Put the cuffs on her!
13:40Now!
13:43The Enforcer Captain didn't hesitate.
13:45He pulled out a pair of heavy, pure silver handcuffs that burned a werewolf's skin on
13:49contact.
13:50Zane turned away, shielding Quinn from the sight, playing the heartbroken mate to perfection.
13:59Take her to the cells.
14:01I'll come down to sort it out.
14:02Before the silver could touch my wrists, the deafening screech of heavy tires ripped through
14:07the market.
14:11The air instantly grew impossibly thick.
14:14Everyone present immediately dropped to their knees, bearing their necks in submission.
14:19The pure, terrifying dominance of an Alpha aura washed over the street.
14:24Alpha Jackson stepped out of the vehicle, his boots hitting the pavement like thunder.
14:31What in the goddess name is happening to the wolf who just saved our entire pack from
14:35a smuggling ring?
14:36Alpha Jackson was the absolute law.
14:38A ruthless, fair leader who valued strength over all else.
14:42Zane scrambled to his feet, instantly snapping a salute, his face coated in cold sweat.
14:48Alpha!
14:49It's an internal dispute.
14:51Serena was caught smuggling silver daggers, and I am enforcing the law!
14:56Smuggling?
14:59Are you a fucking idiot, Zane?
15:02Serena is the one who tipped my personal guard off to this shipment!
15:07Zane blinked, completely, utterly stunned.
15:14She tipped you off?
15:16But there's an eyewitness who saw her-
15:18Gamma, Zane.
15:20If you lack even the basic investigated instincts to see a blatant frame-up, you're not fit to lead my
15:26warriors.
15:28Alpha!
15:29Alpha, my tiny heart!
15:30Alpha!
15:31Get the medic!
15:31Alpha!
15:33I'm dying!
15:35Alpha!
15:35I'm dying!
15:37I'm dying!
15:39Thank you!
15:40I'm dying!
15:41Zane reached for her purely on instinct, but Jackson's massive hand swatted him away like a fly.
15:47he nodded to the man's the pack doctor the doctor knelt gripping Quinn's wrist with brutal efficiency
15:54he pried open her eyelids as she thrashed and shrieked in panic her pulse is perfectly strong
16:00pupils dilating normally her heart is healthier than mine this omega is entirely faking it it's
16:06a pathetic theatrical performance Zane looked as if he had been struck by lightning he turned slowly
16:14staring down at Quinn his mind fracturing in real time Quinn you told me you had a congenital heart
16:21defect you told me you were done Quinn's lips trembled Zane I was just scared the doctor is
16:27wrong Alpha Jackson scoffed he snapped his fingers that's her shut up that's the bitch who paid me
16:3650 silver oins to stash the crates under the apothetory stall she promised me more money when
16:43the girl was executed I still carry her scent on the silver daggers Zane snatched the rogue by the
16:50throat smelling the indisputable proof the faint sickeningly sweet scent of Quinn's omega pheromones
16:56coated the contraband daggers his entire spine seemed to snap he dropped the rogue and stared at
17:03his hands why I gave you the sanctuary pass I let my own pup die to take care of you
17:16why would you frame Serena realizing she was trapped Quinn dropped the fragile act
17:24because I hate her why does she get to have you why does she get a pup while I'm stuck
17:30as a useless
17:31widow and don't act like a fucking saint Zane if you actually trusted her you wouldn't have condemned
17:37her without a single question you handed her to the wolves yourself you're just a stupid gullible fool
17:45every word was a razor blade slicing straight across Zane's throat take her to the dungeons
17:51strip her of her widow benefits
17:59Quinn was dragged away kicking and screaming obscenities into the night sky
18:05then alpha jackson walked right up to Zane
18:09you are suspended indefinitely Zane until you figure out how to use your fucking brain
18:14don't let me see you in uniform
18:21Jackson turned to me giving me a nod of deep respect before driving off into the night
18:26I stood there feeling the biting winter wind against my cheeks
18:30I knew everything beforehand I knew Quinn would try to frame me
18:35so I tipped the alpha off hours ago it was a trap and they both walked right into it
18:45the crowd dispersed into the shadows leaving nothing but broken crates
18:49scattered silver daggers and a shattered man standing in the mud
18:52Zane seemed to finally wake from a nightmare
18:57Serena
19:00I'm sorry
19:02goddess I am so fucking sorry
19:05his dirty hands grasped empty air
19:09I was blinded
19:10I thought I was protecting you from execution by making you confess
19:15you are can snow
19:17you don't mow be the sauntie and I'm watched off the way
19:20come have to meet me of protection as friends
19:34don't touch me Zane

19:45I'll make it right
19:46I'll go to the alpha tomorrow and beg for your sanctuary pass back
19:49we can have another pup Serena I swear on my life
19:54I stared at the crumpled money in his desperate shaking hands
19:58do you remember what you were doing the afternoon I lost the pup Zane
20:04I was fixing Quinn's roof
20:07because of the storm
20:09he froze
20:10his mouth opening and closing
20:14yes
20:16you were fixing another woman's roof
20:19I spat
20:20leaning down so my face was inches from his
20:23can this money buy back my blood
20:25can it buy back the heartbeat of my pup
20:28I don't hate your sense of honorary Zane
20:31I just pity your fucking stupidity
20:33our bond means less than dirt to me now
20:35I turned away and walked toward the pack's public notice board in the center of the market
20:39with a silver dagger
20:41I carved my blood onto the wood
20:43declaring a permanent spiritual mate rejection
20:46the magic flared red
20:48then snapped
20:50the searing pain of a broken bond hit me
20:53but it felt like glorious freedom
20:55I left Zane kneeling in the dirt
20:57wailing into the night like a dying animal
21:00the great gamma commander
21:02stripped of his rank
21:04stripped of his mate
21:05left with absolutely nothing but the ashes of his own arrogance
21:09two years pass like a blur of blood sweat and gold
21:12riding the wave of the expanding neutral zone
21:14I transform my humble apothecary stall into a massive trade guild
21:18I don't fear the exhaustion
21:20and I don't fear the rogue infested borders
21:22whatever rare herbs or enchanted weapons the market demands
21:26my caravans deliver
21:27now I am the undisputed empress of the borderlands
21:31I wear tailored suits instead of bloodstained jeans
21:33and alphas from neighboring packs request meetings with me just to secure supply lines
21:38it is during the grand opening of my newest flagship store
21:41that I hear news of Zane again
21:43I stand behind the floor-to-ceiling glass of my office
21:47directing my staff
21:48when a shadow catches my eye across the street
21:51it is a man in a battered, stripped military jacket
21:54his face is hidden behind a wild, unkempt beard
21:57and his broad shoulders are completely hunched
22:00he looks absolutely nothing like the arrogant, formidable gamma commander he once was
22:04he doesn't dare to cross the street
22:06he just stands in the freezing rain
22:08staring greedily through the glass at my figure
22:11he looks like a starved, abandoned stray dog
22:14desperate, broken, and pathetic
22:16I just stand there
22:19meeting his gaze with absolute, chilling indifference
22:22after a long minute
22:24as if my lack of emotion physically burns him
22:27he flinches, pulls up his collar
22:29and limps away into the alley
22:34the next morning
22:35my beta assistant hands me a wrapped package left at the storefront
22:39inside sits a crudely carved wooden statue of a wolf pup
22:42the wood is polished smooth
22:44clearly rubbed by callous thumbs a thousand times over
22:47beneath it lies a bank transfer receipt
22:50directed to an orphanage under my name
22:52and a heavily blood-stained letter
22:54the handwriting is violent, shaky, desperate
22:57Serena
22:58I join the border suicide squad
23:00I hunt the most rabid rogues now
23:02it's a death sentence
23:03but every time I clear a rogue camp
23:05or dismantle a silver trap
23:07I tell myself I am building karma for the pup we lost
23:10Quinn confessed to everything to get a lighter sentence
23:12she admitted she set up the wolf's bane and silver daggers
23:16because she was jealous of your pregnancy
23:18I sat outside the dungeon all night
23:20and vomited blood from the regret
23:21I know you don't want to see me
23:23I know my redemption means nothing to you
23:26I carved this pup for the pup we lost
23:28throw it away if my scent disgusts you
23:31I will never disturb you again
23:32I finish reading the letter
23:34my heart is a stagnant pool of water
23:37not a single ripple
23:38this self-indulgent guilt trip means absolutely nothing to me
23:42even if he gets his throat ripped out by a rogue tomorrow
23:44it won't bring back the pup he let die
23:47nor will it erase the trauma he carved into my soul
23:50without a second thought
23:51I drop the wooden pup and the bloody letter
23:53straight into the incinerator bin
23:55I wipe my hands and walk back out to the trading floor
23:58Zane's profound love is far too late
24:01and entirely too cheap
24:02five years later
24:03the pack territory suffers a devastating earthquake
24:07collapsing entire sectors of the safe zone
24:09I sit in the front row of the disaster relief commendation ceremony
24:13honored as the top civilian sponsor and guild leader
24:16the crowd erupts into deafening applause
24:19when the alpha calls the name of the final recipient
24:21rogue hunter and rescue hero Zane
24:25the heavy velvet curtains part
24:27a nurse pushes a wheelchair onto the stage
24:30it is Zane
24:31he wears a spotless unranked military uniform
24:34his chest heavy with medals
24:36but beneath his waist
24:38his pant legs are completely empty
24:40Zane
24:41what sustained you for 10 hours
24:44as you held up the steel beam
24:45to save the pregnant Omega
24:47and in doing so
24:48you lost both your legs
24:52because
24:54I have a debt to pay
24:56I once murdered my own pup with my ignorance
24:58this time I had to save someone else's pup
25:00the goddess gave me a chance to pay back the life I owe
25:03that's all
25:04after the ceremony
25:05Zane's former beta
25:06Jax
25:07intercepts me in the VIP hallway
25:09Jax has red swollen eyes
25:11he holds out a small velvet box
25:13with trembling hands
25:17Guildmaster Serena
25:19Zane asked me to give this to you
25:23a dark rusted stain of his own blood
25:26mars the golden surface
25:31he says he has no right to see you
25:34this was the gift he promised your pup years ago
25:36it's the only valuable thing he has left in this world
25:38he also told me to tell you
25:40Quinn was released from prison last month
25:42she froze to death on the streets outside the safe zone
25:48Zane says it's karma
25:51their karma finally caught up
25:53I look at the blood-stained metal
25:55it cost him his legs
25:57it cost him half his life
26:02tell him I don't hate him anymore
26:04hating him is a waste of my energy
26:09I pull a silver pen from my blazer
26:11and scribble a quick line
26:12on the back of my business card
26:13dropping it onto the box
26:16I turn on my stiletto heels
26:18my steps echoing sharply
26:19against the marble floor
26:20the note on the card reads
26:22mutual non-disturbance
26:24is the best ending
26:25Zane traded his legs
26:27for that pregnant wolf's life
26:28that repays her
26:30it repays himself
26:31but regarding me
26:32I have already moved on
26:34and I never look back
26:35the golden scissors
26:36slice cleanly through
26:38the red silk ribbon
26:39outside my newly built guild headquarters
26:41I smile flawlessly
26:43waving at the pack leaders
26:44and human merchants
26:45who have gathered to celebrate
26:46Madam Serena
26:48the Alpha's office just sent word
26:51Zane
26:52passed away this morning
26:57my hand holding the scissors pauses
26:59exactly one second
27:00completely ignoring the whisper
27:04excellent turnout today
27:06I hand the scissors to an assistant
27:08and walk gracefully
27:09into the warm
27:10brilliantly lit banquet hall
27:12I do not attend his funeral
27:14a week later
27:15an enforcer delivers
27:16a heavy iron lockbox
27:18to my penthouse
27:19they tell me
27:20it is Zane's dying wish
27:21I miss you so much
27:23I can't breathe
27:24Serena
27:25I dreamt of our pup
27:25he called me dad
27:27but when I reached out
27:28my hands were covered
27:29in his blood
27:30Serena
27:31if only I hadn't given her
27:32that pass
27:32if only you were still by my
27:34I look at the pile of letters
27:36there is no grief in my chest
27:38only a profound
27:39liberating exhalation of relief
27:42it's finally over
27:43the flames roar to life
27:45greedily devouring the paper
27:47the firelight reflects
27:49in my calm dry eyes
27:50ash drifts up
27:52into the cold night sky
27:53disappearing into the falling snow
27:55leaving absolutely no trace behind
27:58the following spring
27:59I visit the border orphanage
28:01and adopt a wolf pup
28:02who lost his parents
28:03in a rogue attack
28:04his eyes are as clear
28:06as a mountain spring
28:07I name him Nova
28:08not to remember the past
28:10but to celebrate
28:11a supernova of new life
28:12he will inherit my empire
28:14not a legacy of sorrow
28:17mom dinner is ready
28:18the board members
28:20are waiting to toast you
28:26I have wealth
28:27absolute power
28:28and a son who adores me
28:30a sudden blizzard begins to howl around the glass
28:33looking exactly like the storm from that afternoon
28:36when I lost my first pup
28:37and nearly bled out alone
28:39back then I thought the sky was falling
28:42now I know it was just the brutal birth of my freedom
28:45the risotto
28:45the nerdy
28:45the
