Short filmTranscript
00:00After I was born, my sister Olivia got really sick.
00:03No, I don't eat!
00:04Only when she fed me, she would smile and eat more.
00:07So whenever Olivia held the spoon, Mom would hold my shoulders down.
00:11She gently made me open my mouth.
00:14When I was five, the teacher said pups should say no to things that make them unhappy.
00:19So when I was so full I couldn't swallow one more bite, I refused Olivia's feeding.
00:24She cried until her face turned blue, like something really bad happened to her.
00:28Mom rushed at me like crazy.
00:30Her nails dug deep into my skin.
00:33You already have Mom and Dad's love.
00:35Why do you have to compete with your sister?
00:38Can't you just be good and eat more for your sister's sickness?
00:41Dad looked at Mom with a sad heart.
00:43He picked Olivia.
00:45He said he would take her to the new pack lands to cheer her up.
00:49I rolled on the floor in pain, but Mom thought I was lying.
00:53She got so mad, she slammed the door shut.
00:56She said she had to punish me for being bad.
00:58I held my stomach.
01:00Tears covered my whole face.
01:02I'm sorry, Mom.
01:03Next time I will eat nicely to make Olivia happy.
01:06I pressed my little hands hard on my belly.
01:08I curled up into a ball, but in my head I saw Mom's stomach hurt.
01:13She took the healer's pills and felt better.
01:15When I finally got the pill bottle open, my stomach suddenly hurt so badly.
01:20Pills fell all over the floor.
01:22I was about to pick them up when I heard the door open.
01:25My eyes lit up.
01:26Dad was back.
01:27I reached out my hand to him.
01:29Daddy, there are so many bugs biting me inside my tummy.
01:35Dad rushed to me, scared, but Mom grabbed him.
01:37She never tells the truth.
01:39Did you forget the other day?
01:40She stole jerky.
01:42When I caught her, she blamed Olivia.
01:43Now she's lying about a stomach ache.
01:45She just wants to play sick, so we won't take Olivia out to play.
01:49That's not how it happened.
01:51Last time, Olivia took the jerky.
01:54She brought it to my room.
01:56She tore the package open.
01:57She stuffed it in her mouth to show off.
01:59I told her to eat less, or she wouldn't be hungry for dinner.
02:02But Olivia puffed her cheeks.
02:04She waved the jerky in front of me.
02:06When Mom opened the door, she shoved the jerky into my hand.
02:09She wiped the grease on my clothes.
02:11I happily told Mom Olivia was better, but Mom got mad.
02:14She dragged me out of my room.
02:16She made me kneel in the living room.
02:19She called me a liar.
02:21She said I stole the jerky myself, then blamed my sick sister.
02:25I cried and said I didn't steal it.
02:27Mom's face turned cold, like the snow outside, ice cold.
02:31She threw me outside the door.
02:33She said she would throw away a lying pup.
02:35I cried for so long.
02:37I begged Mom not to leave me.
02:39Finally, Dad felt bad.
02:41He slipped a piece of meat into my hand.
02:43He told me to admit my mistake fast.
02:46He said not to make Mom mad.
02:47The sky got dark.
02:49My stomach growled.
02:50Mom held a bowl of hot meat soup.
02:52She asked if I knew I was wrong.
02:54The soup smelled so good.
02:56I sobbed and said I was wrong.
02:59That time, I really did lie.
03:00But Mom forgave me.
03:02Thinking of this, even though I had no idea what I did wrong,
03:06I still held Mom's skirt carefully.
03:08I said I was wrong again and again.
03:10I thought Mom would hug me like last time.
03:13And she said she loved me too.
03:15But she saw the pills on the floor.
03:17She got mad and kicked me hard.
03:21Emma, are you this naughty now?
03:23First you won't eat to starve your sister.
03:26Now you want to wreck the house?
03:28I have to punish you today.
03:30Dad tried to speak.
03:32Mom stopped him with one look.
03:35Adrian, if you stop me again, we're getting a divorce.
03:38Dad sighed.
03:39He had no choice.
03:40He took me from Mom.
03:41I thought he would carry me to the healer.
03:43But he locked me in the bedroom himself.
03:45Dad touched my head.
03:47Emma, for this family.
03:48Just be good, okay?
03:49I held Dad's sleeve tight.
03:51But Dad, my tummy really hurts.
03:55I cried my eyes out.
03:56Mom's voice came from the living room.
03:58She sounded mad.
03:59Are you favoring Emma again?
04:01When we mated, you promised to love Olivia like your own daughter.
04:04If you keep favoring the little one, there's no point in this marriage.
04:08Dad heard that.
04:09He pushed me away hard.
04:10He left fast.
04:12He didn't even notice he pushed me to the floor.
04:14My head hit the table corner.
04:16Everything got fuzzy.
04:18Through the crack in the door, I saw Dad lift Olivia up high.
04:21Mom's face finally smiled.
04:23She turned her head.
04:24Our eyes met.
04:25Mom frowned.
04:26She slammed the door shut.
04:28The room went dark.
04:29I couldn't see anything.
04:30But I heard Mom's words clearly.
04:32Emma is spoiled by you.
04:34Eating is such a happy thing.
04:36But she wastes food.
04:37Good.
04:38Lock her up for a day.
04:39Let her learn that every grain is hard work.
04:42Then came her soft voice.
04:44Olivia, you're my baby forever.
04:46It's okay if you don't like to eat.
04:49But when you're hungry, tell Mom.
04:51The house got quiet.
04:52Pitch black.
04:53My heart raced.
04:54But I was too short.
04:55I couldn't reach the light.
04:56So I climbed into bed myself.
04:58If I fell asleep, the pain would stop.
05:00I always got through it this way before.
05:02But this time, my tummy hurt so much.
05:05I copied how Mom said Olivia.
05:06I gently patted my swollen belly.
05:08Please stop hurting.
05:10It's your fault Mom thinks I'm bad.
05:12But it didn't listen.
05:13It hurt even more.
05:14So when Mom scolds me for being bad, does it hurt her this much too?
05:18Tears dropped down.
05:20I'm sorry Mom.
05:21It's my fault for being bad.
05:22I made you hurt so many times.
05:24My head started hurting too.
05:26I wiped the sweat off my head.
05:28It was sticky.
05:29I remembered last time.
05:30Mom locked me out because of grease on my clothes.
05:33I panicked and tried to wipe my face clean.
05:35But the sweat wouldn't come off.
05:37I felt colder and colder.
05:39Even under the blankets, I shivered.
05:41Slowly, I got so, so tired.
05:43I fell completely asleep.
05:46When I opened my eyes again, my tummy didn't hurt at all.
05:49I started jumping around happily.
05:51My body went right through the locked door.
05:53I saw Mom and Dad just got back.
05:56Mom was feeding Olivia sweet potato.
05:58Olivia, one more bite.
06:00Okay.
06:00Olivia turned her head away.
06:01No, no.
06:02It makes me sick.
06:04Mom sighed.
06:05Her brow was tight.
06:06I reached up to smooth it.
06:08But my little hand couldn't touch Mom.
06:10I slowly realized, I think I died.
06:13Just like the kitten Olivia killed.
06:15Olivia begged to buy that kitten.
06:18But a few days later, she said the poop was gross.
06:21Mom gave me the job of taking care of it.
06:23I didn't mind the kitten's mess at all.
06:25Every day after training, I changed her water and filled her food.
06:28After a while, the kitten let me pet her.
06:30She even acted cute with me.
06:32With her around, I wasn't sad anymore that Mom and Dad only saw Olivia.
06:36Okay, I lied.
06:37I was still a little sad.
06:39Just a little bit.
06:40When Olivia saw the kitten liked me more, she grabbed it from my arms.
06:44The kitten meowed in fear.
06:45That night, Mom's face was really dark.
06:48After Olivia got her shots, the kitten hid under the bed, too scared to come out.
06:52I knelt in front of Mom.
06:54I cried and said sorry to the kitten.
06:56But Mom said, animals that hurt people can't stay.
06:59She said I had no heart.
07:01Is your sister's safety less important than a mean animal?
07:04I cried and said it's different.
07:06Olivia has Mom and Dad's love.
07:08The kitten only has me.
07:09If I can't protect her, no one will.
07:12Mom said I was being impossible.
07:14She had Dad tie me up with a belt.
07:15She grabbed the kitten and brought it to Olivia.
07:18She let Olivia do whatever she wanted.
07:20I fought so hard.
07:22But I could only watch the kitten get killed.
07:24I cried until my voice was gone.
07:26But Mom only cared that Olivia ate three more bites today.
07:30And Dad only cared about Mom's mood.
07:32When the kitten died, at least I was sad.
07:34But when I died, no one cared at all.
07:39Dad put toys on the sofa.
07:41He had a sweet potato too.
07:43He knocked on my door.
07:44Emma, are you asleep?
07:45Dad brought you something good.
07:47My big sister was playing with a Barbie.
07:49She jumped off her chair.
07:50She whined at Mom.
07:51Mom, I want the sweet rye Dad has.
07:54Mom was glad she wanted to eat.
07:56She swapped sweet potatoes with Dad.
07:58Mom watched Olivia take bite after bite.
08:00Her eyes got red and teary.
08:02Maybe because Mom couldn't see me, I yelled out loud.
08:05I hate my sister the most!
08:07She always takes my stuff.
08:09Even when there are two same things, she thinks mine is better.
08:13Mom even thinks Dad bought me something better.
08:15So every time, I get what my sister didn't want.
08:18The leftovers she ate.
08:19Even my dresses and shoes are her old ones.
08:22Thinking about this, I let out a big sigh.
08:25Mom always says,
08:26I'm jealous you are young, with no worries.
08:29But I have so many worries.
08:31Mom says my sister doesn't have her real dad.
08:33So she has to love my sister twice as much.
08:37My real dad says we have to be nice to my sister too.
08:40He says he's a stepdad.
08:41So he has to treat everyone the same.
08:44Otherwise, the wolf pack will gossip.
08:46Both my parents say, be nice to my sister.
08:49They tell me over and over to be nice to her too.
08:52I count on my fingers.
08:54Five is smaller than eight.
08:56So why does five-year-old me have to give in to eight-year-old her?
08:59Then I noticed Dad was still at my door.
09:02Mom got mad.
09:03Didn't I say we're starving her all day?
09:05If you go soft on her, you're sleeping in the studio tonight!
09:08Dad didn't say anything.
09:10He called my name again.
09:11Still no answer from me.
09:13I floated next to him.
09:14I said over and over,
09:16I am right here.
09:18But he couldn't hear me.
09:19He muttered,
09:20Why is this cub so angry?
09:21Mom was even prouder.
09:22See?
09:23I was right.
09:24That Emma is so ungrateful.
09:25I locked her in for only three hours.
09:28And she already ignores you on purpose.
09:31If she grows up like this,
09:32who knows how rebellious she'll get.
09:34Not like our Olivia.
09:35So obedient and smart.
09:37My sister lifted her chin proudly.
09:39She quickly swallowed her food.
09:41I watched Mom feed my sister.
09:43I was so jealous.
09:44Mom never fed me.
09:46Mom says I already have a dad.
09:48So she has to give more of her love to my sister.
09:50She's busy cooking for my sister.
09:52Busy taking her to practice.
09:54Busy taking her to the doctor.
09:56I got handed over to the neighbor lady.
09:58After a while,
09:59the other cubs made fun of me.
10:00No dad ever picks you up?
10:02I frowned and yelled back that they were wrong.
10:04Not only does no dad pick me up,
10:07Mom never picks me up either!
10:09When I got a bit older,
10:10I learned to eat by myself.
10:12But my sister said she wanted to feed me.
10:14The food was too hot.
10:15The spoon hurt my tongue.
10:17My belly was so full it hurt.
10:19But every time I mentioned this,
10:20Mom said I was being a baby.
10:22Just eat more.
10:23She said that would make my sister happy.
10:25And if my sister felt better,
10:27her eating disorder would get better too.
10:30Once her sickness was gone,
10:31Mom said she would have time to love me.
10:33But I waited and waited.
10:35That day never came.
10:37At night, after my sister fell asleep,
10:40Mom went into the kitchen.
10:41She made a bowl of meat soup.
10:43Then she knocked on my door.
10:44Emma, are you hungry?
10:46Mom sighed.
10:47During the day, I lost my temper.
10:51Sorry, I didn't mean it, but...
10:53Mom didn't finish her sentence.
10:54She left the soup at the door.
10:56If you're hungry, come out and eat.
10:59This was Mom's second time making meat soup.
11:01The first time I ate it, it was so good.
11:04Even my sister couldn't get that special soup.
11:06Mom only made her spicy jerky and peppered steak.
11:10What a shame.
11:11I can never eat Mom's cooking again.
11:13The next morning, Mom saw the spilled soup.
11:15She got furious.
11:17Emma, how long will you keep this up?
11:19I apologized yesterday.
11:21You're so young.
11:23Why hold such a grudge?
11:24I tried to explain it wasn't me.
11:26My sister knocked it over on purpose.
11:28But Mom couldn't hear me.
11:30She got angrier and pushed the door open.
11:32My sister just finished brushing her teeth.
11:35She followed.
11:36In the morning light,
11:37my sister pointed at the red stain.
11:39Mom, Emma sneaked ketchup in her room.
11:41She's so bad.
11:43Then she pointed at the blanket with a bump.
11:45Mom, look.
11:46She's hiding because she's guilty.
11:48With every word, Mom's face got worse.
11:51She didn't even bother to wake me up.
11:53She took my sister's hand and said,
11:55Don't be like your sister.
11:57She was born a little monster.
11:59My sister happily shook her head.
12:01I won't be like Emma.
12:03She's a piggy.
12:05To punish me, Mom went shopping all day.
12:07But she didn't know I was right behind her.
12:11I listened to her brag to the sales clerk.
12:14She said her older daughter is so good.
12:16But the younger one is rebellious.
12:17She always wants to compete for attention.
12:20The sales clerk said it'll get better when she grows up.
12:22Mom thought so too.
12:23So even though all the bags were full of my sister's clothes, she finally bought me a new pair of
12:29leather shoes.
12:30But the wolf pack celebration was long over.
12:33Back then, I wore sandals that kept falling off.
12:36The other kids called me a trash picker.
12:38Now, even with new shoes, I don't want them.
12:40When my sister came home from school, she covered her nose and screamed,
12:44Mom, it stinks in here.
12:46She sniffed around like she meant it.
12:48Then she pointed at my room.
12:50Emma must have pooped her pants.
12:52Mom walked over holding the new shoes.
12:54She saw my room really was the source of the smell.
12:57She got so mad, she threw the shoes aside.
13:00My sister took the chance to stomp on them a few times.
13:03Mom yelled through the door,
13:04Emma, don't you know to go to the bathroom?
13:08Do you have to make such a mess at home just so I can clean up after you?
13:12Again, only silence answered her.
13:15Not talking, huh?
13:16Mom angrily pushed the door open.
13:18A weird smell came from the bed.
13:20The stench made Mom's eyes water.
13:22How did I end up with such a dirty daughter?
13:25She ran to my bed and ripped off the blanket.
13:27But what she saw made her freeze in shock.
13:31The pink sheets were covered in dried blood.
13:33I was on the bed with my back to her, curled up in a ball.
13:36Mom's heart suddenly started racing.
13:38She looked down to avoid it.
13:40But the rug on the floor was also covered in blood.
13:42Her head was buzzing.
13:44Didn't Olivia say it was just spilled ketchup?
13:46Mom didn't have time to think.
13:48She looked back at me on the bed.
13:50Emma, don't sleep.
13:51You said you wanted new leather shoes, right?
13:54Mom got them for you.
13:56But it's me on the bed.
13:57Even if I'm dead, it's still me.
13:59Why would a mom be scared of her own cub?
14:01I'm not scared of dead kittens at all.
14:03Dad buried a kitten with me by the big tree.
14:06He said when I grow up, the kitten will come back.
14:08Now I'm dead.
14:09I'll probably come back to Mom someday.
14:11But I kind of don't want to come back.
14:13In this house, no one likes me except that kitten.
14:16My nose got tingly again.
14:18Luckily, this time I was strong and didn't cry.
14:21If Mom knew, she'd probably praise me, right?
14:23While Mom was zoning out, my sister hid the dirty shoes under the couch.
14:27She also took a bite of the cake Mom just bought.
14:30After doing all that, she slowly walked into my room.
14:33Mom, did Emma poop her pants?
14:36Punish her!
14:37She's five years old and still poops her pants.
14:40How embarrassing!
14:43Just then, Dad came home.
14:45He frowned.
14:46What's that smell?
14:49Did the toilet break?
14:52Dad changed into his slippers.
14:54He saw the shopping bags on the sofa.
14:56He was confused.
14:58Didn't Mom come back?
14:59Why didn't she answer him?
15:00My sister heard the noise and ran out of my room.
15:02Dad saw her and picked her up for a spin.
15:05Olivia, did you eat well today?
15:07I ate a whole bowl of meat soup.
15:09My teacher praised me.
15:10Right.
15:11Kids need to eat big bites.
15:14Dad happily tapped her nose.
15:15Look at your sister.
15:16She eats so well.
15:17That's why she's so energetic.
15:19How's Mom feeling now?
15:21Is she still mad at Emma?
15:23Emma snuck ketchup and got it everywhere.
15:25She also pooped in her room and made the whole house stink.
15:28Dad put my sister down and quickly walked to my room.
15:31Charlotte, Emma is still little.
15:33Don't be mad.
15:34I'll call a cleaner later.
15:36As soon as he stepped into my room, he held his breath.
15:39Seeing Mom just standing there, Dad worriedly patted her.
15:42Mom turned around blankly, her eyes red.
15:45Dad spoke awkwardly.
15:46I know you're mad, but Emma is still little.
15:50She was locked in her room all day.
15:52It makes sense she went on herself.
15:53If you're tired, go rest.
15:55I'll change Emma's clothes.
15:57Dad thought Mom was too mad to even talk, so he decided to act first.
16:01Emma, don't sleep.
16:03Go to the bathroom and change your clothes.
16:05Take a bath.
16:06Even little cubs need to be clean.
16:08I didn't move at all on the bed.
16:11Feeling how cold my skin was, Dad endured the stench and gradually frowned.
16:16He sat on the edge of the bed.
16:17He turned me over.
16:18I was curled up in a ball.
16:21Emma, wake up.
16:25The weather is warm now.
16:27Why is your body still so cold?
16:29Dad couldn't finish his sentence.
16:30He quickly put me back on the bed.
16:32My stiff body bounced a few times.
16:35My sister was bored on the couch.
16:37She didn't hear me cry or scream.
16:40So she came to my room again.
16:42Mom and Dad ignored her.
16:44My sister climbed onto my bed.
16:46She pushed me hard.
16:46Emma, why are you still sleeping?
16:51Mom, Dad, tell her off.
16:54She's lazy, messy, and doesn't like to study.
16:57Usually, after my sister said that, Mom would frown and scold me.
17:01But this time, Mom stayed quiet.
17:03Instead, Dad picked me up and ran out.
17:06Dad will take you to the priest right now.
17:09Mom finally snapped out of it.
17:11She grabbed her bag and followed Dad.
17:16As for my sister, Mom left her with the neighbor.
17:19Even though my sister cried and said she wanted to come,
17:23Mom still said no.
17:25The priest's healing hut.
17:27Dad ran straight to the back room.
17:29Where's the priest?
17:30Somebody come quick!
17:32The wolf priest stood up.
17:33He told Dad to put me on the bed.
17:35Dad did it right away.
17:37The priest touched my cold little hand.
17:39He frowned.
17:40How do you take care of your cub?
17:42In the dead of winter, you put her in just thin pajamas?
17:45My fault.
17:46Dad wiped his forehead.
17:47Priest, please save my cub.
17:49The priest didn't say any more.
17:51He took out a stethoscope and started asking,
17:53What symptoms did the cub have?
17:55Or did she tell you?
17:57He stopped mid-sentence.
17:58He realized something was wrong.
18:01He gave Dad a sharp, suspicious look.
18:03The body is already cold.
18:05And you just brought her in?
18:06Dad's head shot up.
18:08His eyes were bloodshot.
18:09What are you talking about?
18:10My daughter is just sick.
18:12What do you mean cold?
18:13You quack!
18:14Don't curse my daughter, Dad!
18:15Priest had seen troublemakers before.
18:17But this was the first time someone brought a dead body and asked to be saved.
18:22He stopped talking and started examining me.
18:24But as he checked deeper, his frown never went away.
18:27How did you raise this cub?
18:28From the wrecker and the spots.
18:30She's been dead for at least eight hours.
18:32As parents, didn't you notice anything wrong?
18:34Mom collapsed onto the floor.
18:36She finally remembered.
18:37Last night, I was rolling in pain.
18:39But back then, Mom was sure I was faking.
18:42That I was just trying to get attention away from my sister.
18:45The priest pressed on my belly.
18:47It was swollen and hard like a little ball.
18:49I have to report this to the Wolfpack's law team.
18:51The cub's cause of death is unknown.
18:53We need a full exam.
18:54Soon, sirens went off.
18:56After Mom signed the paper, the law team elder cut open my belly.
19:00When they pulled out all the undigested food, everyone there was shocked.
19:03Two fist-sized chunks of meat, a big pile of raw lettuce, and food chunks as big as apples.
19:09She's only five.
19:11How could she eat so much?
19:12Mom still stubbornly argued back.
19:14So she ate a little more food?
19:16Nobody dies from overeating.
19:18The priest looked at her surprised.
19:20Are you the stepmother?
19:22Mom was confused.
19:23She shook her head.
19:24The priest turned to Dad.
19:26Then are you the stepfather?
19:27Dad shook his head, pale.
19:29The priest's eyes were full of pain.
19:31If you're the real parents, how don't you know a five-year-old's appetite?
19:34Her stomach shows it was overloaded for a long time.
19:37The cause of death is gastric rupture from acute stomach expansion.
19:42He looked at Mom and Dad with disappointment.
19:44Normally, even if someone sleeps deeply, stomach pain forces them to stay awake before she died.
19:51Didn't she show pain or ask you for help?
19:53Dad's pupils shrink.
19:55Emma told me.
19:56She said there were bugs biting her belly.
20:00I thought she was just talking nonsense, so...
20:02The priest got so mad, he forgot their ranks.
20:05He punched Dad in the face.
20:08So that's why you didn't take your own daughter to a doctor?
20:11Do you know that after the stomach ruptures, acidic stomach fluid keeps burning her insides?
20:16That pain is too much for an adult, let alone a five-year-old cub.
20:21Your daughter was begging for help, and you thought she was throwing a tantrum?
20:26After hearing the priest's explanation, Mom finally realized...
20:30People really can get stuck to death.
20:32And she had personally pushed her daughter toward death.
20:35Mom's tears finally fell.
20:38Priest, it's all my fault. Blame me, if you want.
20:43After yelling at each other, Mom and Dad went quiet.
20:46When they got home, Mom took my sister from the neighbor.
20:49The neighbor quickly handed her over.
20:51Your two cubs are so different.
20:53The older one is a little monster.
20:56She steals my cubs' toys and food.
20:58Emma is so good.
21:00Every time I took her to school, she never cried.
21:03She even told me in her baby voice to remember to pick her up.
21:06Talking about me made the neighbor smile.
21:08By the way, you left in a rush.
21:10What happened to Emma?
21:12I watched her grow up.
21:14If you're busy, I can watch her for a few days.
21:17She didn't see me.
21:17She thought I was really sick.
21:19She looked worried.
21:21Hearing the neighbor praise me, I covered my face shyly.
21:24But I couldn't help lifting my chin.
21:26So in other people's eyes, I am a good girl too.
21:29I am liked too.
21:31I wish the neighbor lady were my mom.
21:33Mom wiped her tears.
21:35Emma, she died.
21:37My sister's eyes went wide.
21:40Where mom couldn't see, she smiled.
21:42Her eyes were full of joy.
21:44The neighbor couldn't believe it.
21:46She rubbed her ears.
21:49Did you say Emma is gone?
21:51I just saw her a few days ago.
21:53How can she be gone just like that?
21:56Mom covered her face and cried.
21:58After she told the whole story, the neighbor looked at her with disappointment.
22:01How could you not trust your own daughter?
22:04Emma is known as the most obedient cub in the pack.
22:06I wish I had such a good little girl.
22:09I remember once I was late picking her up.
22:11I had to buy groceries.
22:13I was half an hour late.
22:14She held my hand and didn't complain at all.
22:17My heart melted right there.
22:19I said I'd buy her jerky.
22:20You know what Emma said?
22:22She said she'd save it to share with her sister.
22:25Mom's tears fell again.
22:27But my sister got impatient.
22:29She whined for mom to go home.
22:31That broke up their talk.
22:33With my body gone, the house didn't stink anymore.
22:36Dad locked himself in the study.
22:38He didn't say a word.
22:39Mom sat on the couch and stared into space.
22:41My sister shook mom's hand.
22:46Mom, don't be sad.
22:49Your little girl is dead.
22:51But you still have me.
22:55Mom didn't hear the glee in her voice.
22:57She held my sister and cried hard.
23:00Olivia, your sister.
23:02She's never coming back.
23:04It's all mom's fault.
23:06I wasn't careful enough.
23:08My sister heard mom crying.
23:10Her eyes were full of jealousy.
23:11So she said she was hungry.
23:13Mom quickly dried her tears.
23:15She had already lost her little girl.
23:18She couldn't lose her older one either.
23:20She was in a rush.
23:21She only made my sister meat soup.
23:24But my sister thought mom was half-assing it.
23:27She frowned and knocked the bowl over.
23:30Mom, you don't love me at all.
23:33You only love my sister.
23:34You used to make me lots of good food.
23:37I don't want meat soup.
23:38Mom saw her like this and snapped back.
23:41What do you mean I only love your sister?
23:43Haven't I been good enough to you all these years?
23:45Your sister never picked on food like you do.
23:48She loves meat soup.
23:49My sister started crying hard.
23:52Nobody loves that nasty meat soup.
23:55She ran to her room crying.
23:57She said she wouldn't eat anymore.
23:58Mom was exhausted.
24:00But she started doubting what she just said.
24:03Did Emma really love meat soup?
24:05She tried hard to remember.
24:07Then she realized something sad.
24:08As a mom, she knew her older daughter hated kale and loved spicy jerky.
24:14But her little girl?
24:15She didn't even know what her little girl liked to eat.
24:19Mom opened her phone.
24:20She scrolled through photos from bottom to top.
24:22The one who appeared the most was still my sister at the pack's new territory, at the banquet hall, in
24:29new dresses, getting awards at training.
24:31In every photo, my sister smiled like a flower.
24:34She stood in the most obvious center spot.
24:37She finally found a photo of me in it, but I was only in the corner.
24:42Only half my face showed.
24:44How did this happen?
24:45Her fingers shook.
24:46She tried to zoom in, but the photo was too blurry.
24:50She couldn't even see my face.
24:53Emma, what did I do to you?
24:59Mom held her chest in pain.
25:01Her throat made broken sobs.
25:03In her heart, she always thought she treated both daughters the same.
25:07Just sometimes she favored the older one.
25:09But photos don't lie.
25:11Mom finally realized she had ignored me for five whole years.
25:15The study door opened.
25:17Dad walked out with red eyes.
25:19He showed Mom a message from my teacher.
25:21Emma is a very good cup.
25:23She always shares her cookies with kids who didn't bring breakfast.
25:26She says good cubs learn to share.
25:29Like she shares her love with her sister.
25:31But Emma is too obedient.
25:33Even with food she hates, her little face scrunches up.
25:36But she still eats it.
25:38So I told her, if you don't like cabbage, you can eat spinach.
25:42Learn to say no to things that make you uncomfortable.
25:44I hope parents can teach Emma to say no.
25:48Dad let out a long, painful cry.
25:51I'm a bad dad.
25:52Dad, even the teacher saw something wrong with Emma.
25:56But I got mad at Emma for being brave.
25:59At that moment, all the lies fell apart.
26:01Saying it was for family peace.
26:03Saying it was for my sister's illness.
26:05Those were just excuses to run from responsibility.
26:08They simply loved the other cub more.
26:10The one who whined, laughed, and begged.
26:13And ignored the quiet one.
26:14The good one.
26:16The one who always said, it's okay.
26:17Because she said, it's okay, she could be sacrificed.
26:21Because she said, it's okay, she could be ignored.
26:25Mom got up.
26:25She slowly walked into my room.
26:29On the nightstand was the picture book I hadn't finished reading last time.
26:33Mom picked it up.
26:35Inside the pages was a picture I cut out from a magazine.
26:38It showed a kitten sleeping soundly in its mom's arms.
26:42On the back, I wrote in pencil.
26:44I want mom to hold me like this too.
26:46In that moment, mom felt like she'd been stabbed.
26:49Her heart hurt so much she couldn't breathe.
26:52She clutched the picture tightly and let out a heartbroken cry.
26:55Emma, I'm sorry.
26:57It's all my fault.
26:58Mom's fault.
26:59In the empty room, only her cries echoed.
27:02If I'd noticed earlier, would you still be here with me?
27:05I floated in the air.
27:07I wanted to hug her and tell her I didn't blame her.
27:09My hand went through her body.
27:10All that was left was a faint breeze.
27:13Mom seemed to feel something.
27:14She looked up suddenly, confused.
27:16Emma?
27:17She looked all around.
27:18Is that you?
27:19Mom stood up in a panic.
27:20Emma, if you're still here, give me a sign.
27:22Even just a little sound, please.
27:25Her eyes were full of hope, but she couldn't hear me,
27:27even though I just wanted to say,
27:29I love you, mom.
27:31After a long time, the hope in mom's eyes faded.
27:33They went dead again.
27:34She hung her head in despair.
27:36She laughed at herself.
27:37I'm the one who killed you.
27:38You must hate me.
27:40Why would you ever answer me?
27:42After pulling herself together,
27:44mom noticed the shoes were gone.
27:46She searched the whole living room.
27:48She found them under the couch.
27:52Dad shook his head.
27:53He said it wasn't him, so that was only left.
27:56Mom thought it might be my sister.
27:58A bad feeling grew in her heart.
28:00Dad thought the same thing.
28:01He forgot about being a good husband.
28:03He used a key to open my sister's locked door.
28:05Right there, he saw my sister eating jerky in big bites.
28:09She looked nothing like someone with an eating disorder.
28:11My sister quickly hid the jerky under her blanket.
28:14Out of habit, she tried to blame me.
28:16Mom, I didn't eat jerky.
28:18Emma did.
28:19Right after she said it, her face showed regret.
28:21I was already dead.
28:22Dead people can't sneak food.
28:24Mom immediately thought of the last jerky incident.
28:27Her face went cold.
28:28She asked,
28:29Last time, were you the one eating jerky and blaming it on Emma?
28:34My sister forced herself to say no.
28:36Mom asked again.
28:37Aren't you?
28:38My sister finally broke down and admitted it.
28:40I only ate a little.
28:42Mom, didn't you say I can eat anything I want?
28:46My sister cried and reached for Mom's hand, but Mom pushed her away hard.
28:50That's different.
28:52You can eat whatever you want because you have an eating disorder.
28:55I wish you would eat more.
28:58But Olivia, tell me the truth.
29:01Is your eating disorder real?
29:03My sister tried to lie again, but Mom's eyes were too scary.
29:06So scary that my sister didn't dare lie.
29:09She cried and admitted it was all fake.
29:11It's all fake.
29:12I just wanted Mom to care about me more.
29:16Emma was stealing Mom's love from me.
29:20Only by faking sick would Mom love me with all her heart.
29:23My sister sobbed out the truth.
29:24Mom kept pushing.
29:25Then why did you force your sister to eat?
29:28If she got fat, she'd be ugly.
29:30Mom and Dad would only love pretty me.
29:32Mom, don't be mad.
29:34I won't lie to you again.
29:36My sister's face turned blue from crying.
29:38She could barely breathe.
29:39She reached out for a hug, but Mom was so shocked by the truth, she kept stepping back.
29:44She never thought of the daughter she gave up everything in the divorce.
29:47It could be so cruel.
29:49Dad raised his fist to hit my sister.
29:52Dad's fist stopped in midair.
29:53It hit the couch instead.
29:55He looked down at Mom.
29:57After Emma's funeral, let's get a divorce.
29:59His voice was hoarse.
30:00Mom sent my sister back to her ex-partner's home.
30:03My sister cried and begged, but it didn't matter.
30:06Just like when I cried and begged Mom to save me, all alone, no one to help.
30:11The grave was on a hillside.
30:13The wind was strong.
30:14Mom put on the little leather shoes in front of the tombstone.
30:18She fell to her knees.
30:19Dad stood nearby.
30:20His face was covered in tears.
30:22He touched my name on the stone.
30:24His fingertips were cold.
30:25Baby, I'm sorry.
30:27Dad was wrong.
30:29Dad was wrong.
30:31If there's a next life, don't be our daughter.
30:35Find a family that truly loves you.
30:37Be the treasure in their hands.
30:39Don't meet us again.
30:41Don't suffer like this anymore.
30:43I love you again or...
30:44I love you.
30:46I love you.
