Short filmTranscript
00:02After I was born, my sister Olivia got really sick.
00:06No, I don't eat!
00:07Only when she fed me, she would smile and eat more.
00:10So whenever Olivia held the spoon, mom would hold my shoulders down.
00:15She gently made me open my mouth.
00:17When I was five, the teacher said pups should say no to things that make them unhappy.
00:22So when I was so full I couldn't swallow one more bite, I refused Olivia's feeding.
00:27No.
00:27She cried until her face turned blue.
00:30Like something really bad happened to her.
00:32Mom rushed at me like crazy.
00:34Her nails dug deep into my skin.
00:36You already have mom and dad's love.
00:39Why do you have to compete with your sister?
00:41Can't you just be good and eat more for your sister's sickness?
00:45Dad looked at mom with a sad heart.
00:47He picked Olivia.
00:48He said he would take her to the new pack lands to cheer her up.
00:52I rolled on the floor in pain.
00:55But mom thought I was lying.
00:56She got so mad she slammed the door shut.
01:00She said she had to punish me for being bad.
01:02I held my stomach.
01:04Tears covered my whole face.
01:06I'm sorry mom.
01:07Next time I will eat nicely to make Olivia happy.
01:10I pressed my little hands hard on my belly.
01:12I curled up into a ball.
01:14But in my head I saw mom's stomach hurt.
01:17She took the healer's pills and felt better.
01:19When I finally got the pill bottle open, my stomach suddenly hurt so badly.
01:24Pills fell all over the floor.
01:26I was about to pick them up when I heard the door open.
01:29My eyes lit up.
01:30Dad was back.
01:31I reached out my hand to him.
01:33Daddy, there are so many bugs biting me inside my tummy.
01:39Dad rushed to me scared, but mom grabbed him.
01:42She never tells the truth.
01:43Did you forget the other day?
01:45She stole jerky.
01:46When I caught her, she blamed Olivia.
01:48Now she's lying about a stomach ache.
01:50She just wants to play sick, so we won't take Olivia out to play.
01:53That's not how it happened.
01:56Last time, Olivia took the jerky.
01:59She brought it to my room.
02:00She tore the package open.
02:02She stuffed it in her mouth to show off.
02:04I told her to eat less, or she wouldn't be hungry for dinner.
02:07But Olivia puffed her cheeks.
02:09She waved the jerky in front of me.
02:11When mom opened the door, she shoved the jerky into my hand.
02:14She wiped the grease on my clothes.
02:16I happily told mom Olivia was better, but mom got mad.
02:19She dragged me out of my room.
02:21She made me kneel in the living room.
02:24She called me a liar.
02:26She said I stole the jerky myself, then blamed my sick sister.
02:30I cried and said I didn't steal it.
02:32Mom's face turned cold, like the snow outside, ice cold.
02:36She threw me outside the door.
02:38She said she would throw away a lying pup.
02:41I cried for so long.
02:42I begged mom not to leave me.
02:44Finally, dad felt bad.
02:46He slipped a piece of meat into my hand.
02:48He told me to admit my mistake fast.
02:51He said not to make mom mad.
02:53The sky got dark.
02:54My stomach growled.
02:56Mom held a bowl of hot meat soup.
02:58She asked if I knew I was wrong.
03:00The soup smelled so good.
03:02I sobbed and said I was wrong.
03:04That time I really did lie.
03:06But mom forgave me.
03:08Thinking of this, even though I had no idea what I did wrong,
03:11I still held mom's skirt carefully.
03:14I said I was wrong again and again.
03:16I thought mom would hug me like last time, and she said she loved me too.
03:21But she saw the pills on the floor.
03:23She got mad and kicked me hard.
03:27Emma, are you this naughty now?
03:29First you won't eat to starve your sister.
03:32Now you want to wreck the house?
03:34I have to punish you today.
03:36Dad tried to speak.
03:38Mom stopped him with one look.
03:41Adrian, if you stop me again, we're getting a divorce.
03:44Dad sighed.
03:45He had no choice.
03:46He took me from mom.
03:48I thought he would carry me to the healer,
03:49but he locked me in the bedroom himself.
03:52Dad touched my head.
03:53Emma, for this family, just be good, okay?
03:56I held dad's sleeve tight.
03:57But dad, my tummy really hurts.
04:01I cried my eyes out.
04:02Mom's voice came from the living room.
04:04She sounded mad.
04:06Are you favoring Emma again?
04:07When we mated, you promised to love Olivia like your own daughter.
04:11If you keep favoring the little one, there's no point in this marriage.
04:15Dad heard that.
04:16He pushed me away hard.
04:17He left fast.
04:18He didn't even notice he pushed me to the floor.
04:21My head hit the table corner.
04:23Everything got fuzzy.
04:25Through the crack in the door, I saw dad lift Olivia up high.
04:28Mom's face finally smiled.
04:30She turned her head.
04:31Our eyes met.
04:32Mom frowned.
04:33She slammed the door shut.
04:35The room went dark.
04:36I couldn't see anything.
04:37But I heard mom's words clearly.
04:39Emma is spoiled by you.
04:41Eating is such a happy thing.
04:43But she wastes food.
04:44Good.
04:45Lock her up for a day.
04:46Let her learn that every grain is hard work.
04:49Then came her soft voice.
04:51Olivia, you're my baby forever.
04:54It's okay if you don't like to eat.
04:56But when you're hungry, tell mom.
04:58The house got quiet.
04:59Pitch black.
05:00My heart raced.
05:01But I was too short.
05:02I couldn't reach the light.
05:03So I climbed into bed myself.
05:05If I fell asleep, the pain would stop.
05:07I always got through it this way before.
05:09But this time, my tummy hurt so much.
05:12I copied how mom fed Olivia.
05:14I gently patted my swollen belly.
05:16Please stop hurting.
05:17It's your fault mom thinks I'm bad.
05:19But it didn't listen.
05:21It hurt even more.
05:22So when mom scolds me for being bad, does it hurt her this much too?
05:26Tears dropped down.
05:27I'm sorry mom.
05:28It's my fault for being bad.
05:30I made you hurt so many times.
05:32My head started hurting too.
05:34I wiped the sweat off my head.
05:36It was sticky.
05:36I remembered last time.
05:38Mom locked me out because of grease on my clothes.
05:41I panicked and tried to wipe my face clean.
05:43But the sweat wouldn't come off.
05:45I felt colder and colder.
05:47Even under the blankets, I shivered.
05:49Slowly, I got so, so tired.
05:51I fell completely asleep.
05:54When I opened my eyes again, my tummy didn't hurt at all.
05:57I started jumping around happily.
05:59My body went right through the locked door.
06:01I saw mom and dad just got back.
06:04Mom was feeding Olivia sweet potato.
06:06Olivia, one more bite.
06:08Okay.
06:08Olivia turned her head away.
06:10No, no.
06:11It makes me sick.
06:12Mom sighed.
06:13Her brow was tight.
06:14I reached up to smooth it.
06:16But my little hand couldn't touch mom.
06:18I slowly realized, I think I died.
06:21Just like the kitten Olivia killed.
06:24Olivia begged to buy that kitten.
06:26But a few days later, she said the poop was gross.
06:29Mom gave me the job of taking care of it.
06:31I didn't mind the kitten's mess at all.
06:33Every day after training, I changed her water and filled her food.
06:37After a while, the kitten let me pet her.
06:39She even acted cute with me.
06:41With her around, I wasn't sad anymore that mom and dad only saw Olivia.
06:45Okay, I lied.
06:46I was still a little sad.
06:48Just a little bit.
06:49When Olivia saw the kitten liked me more, she grabbed it from my arms.
06:53The kitten meowed in fear.
06:54That night, mom's face was really dark.
06:57After Olivia got her shots, the kitten hid under the bed, too scared to come out.
07:02I knelt in front of mom.
07:03I cried and said sorry to the kitten.
07:05But mom said animals that hurt people can't stay.
07:08She said I had no heart.
07:10Is your sister's safety less important than a mean animal?
07:13I cried and said it's different.
07:15Olivia has mom and dad's love.
07:17The kitten only has me.
07:19If I can't protect her, no one will.
07:21Mom said I was being impossible.
07:23She had dad tie me up with a belt.
07:25She grabbed the kitten and brought it to Olivia.
07:27She let Olivia do whatever she wanted.
07:30I fought so hard, but I could only watch the kitten get killed.
07:34I cried until my voice was gone.
07:36But mom only cared that Olivia ate three more bites today.
07:39And dad only cared about mom's mood.
07:42When the kitten died, at least I was sad.
07:44But when I died, no one cared at all.
07:49Dad put toys on the sofa.
07:51He had a sweet potato too.
07:52He knocked on my door.
07:53Emma, are you asleep?
07:55Dad brought you something good.
07:56My big sister was playing with a Barbie.
07:58She jumped off her chair.
08:00She whined at mom.
08:01Mom, I want the sweet rye dad has.
08:04Mom was glad she wanted to eat.
08:06She swapped sweet potatoes with dad.
08:08Mom watched Olivia take bite after bite.
08:10Her eyes got red and teary.
08:12Maybe because mom couldn't see me, I yelled out loud.
08:15I hate my sister the most!
08:18She always takes my stuff.
08:19Even when there are two same things, she thinks mine is better.
08:23Mom even thinks dad bought me something better.
08:25So every time, I get what my sister didn't want.
08:28The leftovers she ate.
08:29Even my dresses and shoes are her old ones.
08:32Thinking about this, I let out a big sigh.
08:35Mom always says,
08:36I'm jealous you are young, with no worries.
08:40But I have so many worries.
08:42Mom says my sister doesn't have her real dad.
08:44So she has to love my sister twice as much.
08:47My real dad says we have to be nice to my sister too.
08:51He says he's a stepdad.
08:52So he has to treat everyone the same.
08:55Otherwise, the wolf pack will gossip.
08:57Both my parents say, be nice to my sister.
09:00They tell me over and over to be nice to her too.
09:03I count on my fingers.
09:05Five is smaller than eight.
09:07So why does five-year-old me have to give in to eight-year-old her?
09:10Then I noticed dad was still at my door.
09:13Mom got mad.
09:14Didn't I say we're starving her all day?
09:16If you go soft on her, you're sleeping in the studio tonight.
09:19Dad didn't say anything.
09:21He called my name again.
09:23Still no answer from me.
09:24I floated next to him.
09:26I said over and over,
09:27I am right here.
09:29But he couldn't hear me.
09:30He muttered,
09:31Why is this cub so angry?
09:32Mom was even prouder.
09:34See, I was right.
09:35That Emma is so ungrateful.
09:37I locked her in for only three hours.
09:39And she already ignores you on purpose.
09:42If she grows up like this,
09:44who knows how rebellious she'll get.
09:46Not like our Olivia.
09:47So obedient and smart.
09:49My sister lifted her chin proudly.
09:51She quickly swallowed her food.
09:53I watched mom feed my sister.
09:55I was so jealous.
09:56Mom never fed me.
09:58Mom says I already have a dad.
09:59So she has to give more of her love to my sister.
10:02She's busy cooking for my sister.
10:04Busy taking her to practice.
10:06Busy taking her to the doctor.
10:08I got handed over to the neighbor lady.
10:10After a while,
10:11the other cubs made fun of me.
10:12No dad ever picks you up?
10:14I frowned and yelled back that they were wrong.
10:16Not only does no dad pick me up,
10:19Mom never picks me up either!
10:21When I got a bit older,
10:23I learned to eat by myself.
10:24But my sister said she wanted to feed me.
10:26The food was too hot.
10:27The spoon hurt my tongue.
10:29My belly was so full it hurt.
10:31But every time I mentioned this,
10:32Mom said I was being a baby.
10:34Just eat more.
10:36She said that would make my sister happy.
10:38And if my sister felt better,
10:40her eating disorder would get better too.
10:42Once her sickness was gone,
10:44Mom said she would have time to love me.
10:46But I waited and waited.
10:48That day never came.
10:50At night, after my sister fell asleep,
10:52Mom went into the kitchen.
10:53She made a bowl of meat soup.
10:55Then she knocked on my door.
10:57Emma, are you hungry?
10:59Mom sighed.
11:00During the day, I lost my temper.
11:04Sorry, I didn't mean it, but...
11:05Mom didn't finish her sentence.
11:07She left the soup at the door.
11:09If you're hungry, come out and eat.
11:11This was Mom's second time making meat soup.
11:14The first time I ate it, it was so good.
11:16Even my sister couldn't get that special soup.
11:19Mom only made her spicy jerky and peppered steak.
11:22What a shame.
11:23I can never eat Mom's cooking again.
11:26The next morning, Mom saw the spilled soup.
11:28She got furious.
11:30Emma, how long will you keep this up?
11:32I apologized yesterday.
11:34You're so young.
11:36Why hold such a grudge?
11:37I tried to explain it wasn't me.
11:39My sister knocked it over on purpose.
11:41But Mom couldn't hear me.
11:43She got angrier and pushed the door open.
11:45My sister just finished brushing her teeth.
11:48She followed.
11:49In the morning light,
11:50my sister pointed at the red stain.
11:52Mom, Emma sneaked ketchup in her room.
11:55She's so bad.
11:56Then she pointed at the blanket with a bump.
11:58Mom, look.
11:59She's hiding because she's guilty.
12:02With every word, Mom's face got worse.
12:04She didn't even bother to wake me up.
12:06She took my sister's hand and said,
12:08Don't be like your sister.
12:11She was born a little monster.
12:13My sister happily shook her head.
12:15I won't be like Emma.
12:17She's a piggy.
12:18To punish me, Mom went shopping all day.
12:21But she didn't know I was right behind her.
12:25I listened to her brag to the sales clerk.
12:28She said her older daughter is so good,
12:30but the younger one is rebellious.
12:31She always wants to compete for attention.
12:33The sales clerk said it'll get better when she grows up.
12:36Mom thought so too.
12:38So even though all the bags were full of my sister's clothes,
12:41she finally bought me a new pair of leather shoes.
12:44But the wolf pack celebration was long over.
12:47Back then, I wore sandals that kept falling off.
12:50The other kids called me a trash picker.
12:52Now, even with new shoes, I don't want them.
12:54When my sister came home from school,
12:56she covered her nose and screamed,
12:58Mom, it stinks in here!
13:00She sniffed around like she meant it.
13:03Then she pointed at my room.
13:04Emma must have pooped her pants!
13:06Mom walked over holding the new shoes.
13:09She saw my room really was the source of the smell.
13:11She got so mad, she threw the shoes aside.
13:15My sister took the chance to stomp on them a few times.
13:18Mom yelled through the door.
13:19Emma, don't you know to go to the bathroom?
13:22Do you have to make such a mess at home
13:24just so I can clean up after you?
13:27Again, only silence answered her.
13:29Not talking, huh?
13:31Mom angrily pushed the door open.
13:33A weird smell came from the bed.
13:35The stench made Mom's eyes water.
13:38How did I end up with such a dirty daughter?
13:40She ran to my bed and ripped off the blanket.
13:42But what she saw made her freeze in shock.
13:46The pink sheets were covered in dried blood.
13:48I was on the bed with my back to her,
13:50curled up in a ball.
13:51Mom's heart suddenly started racing.
13:53She looked down to avoid it.
13:55But the rug on the floor was also covered in blood.
13:57Her head was buzzing.
13:59Didn't Olivia say it was just spilled ketchup?
14:01Mom didn't have time to think.
14:03She looked back at me on the bed.
14:05Emma, don't sleep.
14:06You said you wanted new leather shoes, right?
14:09Mom got them for you.
14:11But it's me on the bed.
14:13Even if I'm dead, it's still me.
14:14Why would a mom be scared of her own cub?
14:17I'm not scared of dead kittens at all.
14:19Dad buried a kitten with me by the big tree.
14:21He said when I grow up, the kitten will come back.
14:24Now I'm dead.
14:25I'll probably come back to mom someday.
14:27But I kind of don't want to come back.
14:29In this house, no one likes me except that kitten.
14:32My nose got tingly again.
14:34Luckily, this time I was strong and didn't cry.
14:37If mom knew, she'd probably praise me, right?
14:39While mom was zoning out, my sister hid the dirty shoes under the couch.
14:43She also took a bite of the cake mom just bought.
14:46After doing all that, she slowly walked into my room.
14:49Mom, did Emma poop her pants?
14:52Punish her!
14:53She's five years old and still poops her pants.
14:56How embarrassing!
14:59Just then, dad came home.
15:01He frowned.
15:02What's that smell?
15:05Did the toilet break?
15:09Dad changed into his slippers.
15:11He saw the shopping bags on the sofa.
15:13He was confused.
15:14Didn't mom come back?
15:15Why didn't she answer him?
15:16My sister heard the noise and ran out of my room.
15:19Dad saw her and picked her up for a spin.
15:21Olivia, did you eat well today?
15:23I ate a whole bowl of meat soup.
15:25My teacher praised me.
15:27Right.
15:28Kids need to eat big bites.
15:30Dad happily tapped her nose.
15:32Look at your sister.
15:33She eats so well.
15:34That's why she's so energetic.
15:36How's mom feeling now?
15:37Is she still mad at Emma?
15:39Emma snuck ketchup and got it everywhere.
15:42She also pooped in her room and made the whole house stink.
15:45Dad put my sister down and quickly walked to my room.
15:48Charlotte, Emma is still little.
15:50Don't be mad.
15:51I'll call a cleaner later.
15:53As soon as he stepped into my room, he held his breath.
15:56Seeing mom just standing there, dad worriedly patted her.
15:59Mom turned around blankly, her eyes red.
16:02Dad spoke awkwardly.
16:03I know you're mad, but Emma is still little.
16:07She was locked in her room all day.
16:09It makes sense she went on herself.
16:11If you're tired, go rest.
16:12I'll change Emma's clothes.
16:14Dad thought mom was too mad to even talk.
16:17So he decided to act first.
16:19Emma, don't sleep.
16:20Go to the bathroom and change your clothes.
16:22Take a bath.
16:23Even little cubs need to be clean.
16:25I didn't move at all on the bed.
16:28Feeling how cold my skin was, dad endured the stench and gradually frowned.
16:33He sat on the edge of the bed.
16:34He turned me over.
16:36I was curled up in a ball.
16:39Emma, wake up.
16:42The weather is warm now.
16:44Why is your body still so cold?
16:46Dad couldn't finish his sentence.
16:48He quickly put me back on the bed.
16:50My stiff body bounced a few times.
16:53My sister was bored on the couch.
16:55She didn't hear me cry or scream.
16:57So she came to my room again.
17:00Mom and dad ignored her.
17:02My sister climbed onto my bed.
17:03She pushed me hard.
17:04Emma, why are you still sleeping?
17:09Mom, dad, tell her off.
17:12She's lazy, messy, and doesn't like to study.
17:15Usually, after my sister said that, mom would frown and scold me.
17:19But this time, mom stayed quiet.
17:21Instead, dad picked me up and ran out.
17:24Dad will take you to the priest right now.
17:27Mom finally snapped out of it.
17:29She grabbed her bag and followed dad.
17:34As for my sister, mom left her with the neighbor.
17:38Even though my sister cried and said she wanted to come, mom still said no.
17:44The priest's healing hut.
17:46Dad ran straight to the back room.
17:48Where's the priest?
17:49Somebody come quick!
17:50The wolf priest stood up.
17:52He told dad to put me on the bed.
17:54Dad did it right away.
17:55The priest touched my cold little hand.
17:58He frowned.
17:59How do you take care of your cub?
18:00In the dead of winter, you put her in just thin pajamas?
18:04My fault.
18:05Dad wiped his forehead.
18:06Priest, please save my cub.
18:08The priest didn't say anymore.
18:09He took out a stethoscope and started asking.
18:12What symptoms did the cub have?
18:14Or did she tell you?
18:16He stopped mid-sentence.
18:17He realized something was wrong.
18:19He gave dad a sharp, suspicious look.
18:22The body is already cold.
18:24And you just brought her in?
18:25Dad's head shot up.
18:27His eyes were bloodshot.
18:28What are you talking about?
18:29My daughter is just sick.
18:31What do you mean cold?
18:32You quack!
18:33Don't curse my daughter dead!
18:34Priest had seen troublemakers before.
18:37But this was the first time someone brought a dead body and asked to be saved.
18:41He stopped talking and started examining me.
18:43But as he checked deeper, his frown never went away.
18:46How did you raise this cub from the wrecker and the spots?
18:49She's been dead for at least 8 hours.
18:51As parents, didn't you notice anything wrong?
18:53Mom collapsed onto the floor.
18:55She finally remembered.
18:57Last night, I was rolling in pain.
18:59But back then, Mom was sure I was faking.
19:02That I was just trying to get attention away from my sister.
19:04The priest pressed on my belly.
19:06It was swollen and hard like a little ball.
19:09I have to report this to the Wolfpack's law team.
19:11The cub's cause of death is unknown.
19:13We need a full exam.
19:14Soon, sirens went off.
19:15After Mom signed the paper, the law team elder cut open my belly.
19:19When they pulled out all the undigested food, everyone there was shocked.
19:23Two fist-sized chunks of meat.
19:25A big pile of raw lettuce.
19:27And food chunks as big as apples.
19:29She's only 5.
19:31How could she eat so much?
19:32Mom still stubbornly argued back.
19:34So she ate a little more food?
19:36Nobody dies from overeating!
19:38The priest looked at her surprised.
19:40Are you the stepmother?
19:42Mom was confused.
19:43She shook her head.
19:44The priest turned to Dad.
19:46Then are you the stepfather?
19:47Dad shook his head.
19:48Pale.
19:49The priest's eyes were full of pain.
19:51If you're the real parents, how don't you know a 5-year-old's appetite?
19:54Her stomach shows it was overloaded for a long time.
19:57The cause of death is gastric rupture from acute stomach expansion.
20:02He looked at Mom and Dad with disappointment.
20:04Normally, even if someone sleeps deeply,
20:07Stomach pain forces them to stay awake before she died.
20:11Didn't she show pain or ask you for help?
20:14Dad's pupils shrink.
20:16Emma told me.
20:17She said there were bugs biting her belly.
20:20I thought she was just talking nonsense, so...
20:23The priest got so mad, he forgot their ranks.
20:26He punched Dad in the face.
20:29So that's why you didn't take your own daughter to a doctor?
20:32Do you know that after the stomach ruptures, acidic stomach fluid keeps burning her insides?
20:37That pain is too much for an adult, let alone a 5-year-old cub.
20:42Your daughter was begging for help, and you thought she was throwing a tantrum?
20:47After hearing the priest's explanation, Mom finally realized people really can get stuck to death.
20:53And she had personally pushed her daughter toward death.
20:57Mom's tears finally fell.
20:59Priest, it's all my fault. Blame me if you want.
21:04After the questioning, Mom and Dad were let go.
21:07They wanted to take my body, but the full autopsy wasn't ready.
21:11The law team wouldn't let them, so they had to leave.
21:15On the way out, Mom looked lost.
21:17Dad, who used to wait for Mom, now walked faster.
21:21Once they left the law team building, Dad finally turned and snapped.
21:26Are you happy now?
21:28Emma is dead.
21:30No more cub will steal Olivia's love.
21:32Mom looked up in disbelief.
21:34What do you mean?
21:36You think I killed Emma?
21:38Dad's eyes were red.
21:39All these years, you ignored Emma.
21:42Your heart was full of your ex-husband's daughter.
21:47People would think you're Emma's stepmom!
21:51Dad's words were like a sharp boomerang.
21:53They hurt Mom and him, too.
21:56After all, the priest also wondered if they were my step-parents.
22:00Otherwise, how could they ignore me crying in pain?
22:03They only found me when my body already stank.
22:06I sighed sadly.
22:08If only I really weren't their real daughter.
22:11Then, I wouldn't have hoped for anything from them.
22:14But Dad said I came out of Mom's belly.
22:17He was the one who cut the cord.
22:19Mom's lips trembled.
22:20She choked out.
22:21I had no choice.
22:23Both palm and back are flesh.
22:24Emma is your real daughter.
22:26Of course most of your heart would be with her.
22:29Olivia only has me.
22:31If I don't love her more, who will?
22:33And you know Olivia has an eating disorder.
22:35Emma loves to eat.
22:38The two sisters help each other.
22:40How was I supposed to know she'd get stuck to death?
22:43The last few words were barely a whisper.
22:46Dad fell silent, too.
22:48You were wrong.
22:49I was wrong, too.
22:53My mistake was always taking your side to scold Emma.
22:57I always told Emma to stop throwing tantrums for this family.
23:01But I forgot she's only five.
23:03A cub who should be cherished by her family.
23:06How did we, these irresponsible parents, end up killing her?
23:11After yelling at each other, Mom and Dad went quiet.
23:14When they got home, Mom took my sister from the neighbor.
23:17The neighbor quickly handed her over.
23:19Your two cubs are so different.
23:21The older one is a little monster.
23:24She steals my cub's toys and food.
23:26Emma is so good.
23:28Every time I took her to school, she never cried.
23:31She even told me in her baby voice to remember to pick her up.
23:34Talking about me made the neighbor smile.
23:36By the way, you left in a rush.
23:38What happened to Emma?
23:40I watched her grow up.
23:42If you're busy, I can watch her for a few days.
23:45She didn't see me.
23:46She thought I was really sick.
23:47She looked worried.
23:49Hearing the neighbor praise me, I covered my face shyly.
23:52But I couldn't help lifting my chin.
23:54So in other people's eyes, I am a good girl, too.
23:57I am liked, too.
23:59I wish the neighbor lady were my mom.
24:02Mom wiped her tears.
24:03Emma, she died.
24:05My sister's eyes went wide.
24:08Where mom couldn't see, she smiled.
24:11Her eyes were full of joy.
24:13The neighbor couldn't believe it.
24:14She rubbed her ears.
24:17Did you say Emma is gone?
24:19I just saw her a few days ago.
24:22How can she be gone just like that?
24:24Mom covered her face and cried.
24:26After she told the whole story, the neighbor looked at her with disappointment.
24:30How could you not trust your own daughter?
24:33Emma is known as the most obedient cub in the pack.
24:35I wish I had such a good little girl.
24:38I remember once I was late picking her up.
24:40I had to buy groceries.
24:42I was half an hour late.
24:43She held my hand and didn't complain at all.
24:46My heart melted right there.
24:48I said I'd buy her jerky.
24:49You know what Emma said?
24:51She said she'd save it to share with her sister.
24:54Mom's tears fell again.
24:56But my sister got impatient.
24:58She whined for mom to go home.
25:00That broke up their talk.
25:02With my body gone, the house didn't stink anymore.
25:05Dad locked himself in the study.
25:07He didn't say a word.
25:08Mom sat on the couch and stared into space.
25:11My sister shook mom's hand.
25:16Mom, don't be sad.
25:18Your little girl is dead.
25:21But you still have me.
25:25Mom didn't hear the glee in her voice.
25:27She held my sister and cried hard.
25:29Olivia, your sister.
25:31She's never coming back.
25:34It's all mom's fault.
25:36I wasn't careful enough.
25:37My sister heard mom crying.
25:39Her eyes were full of jealousy.
25:41So she said she was hungry.
25:43Mom quickly dried her tears.
25:45She had already lost her little girl.
25:48She couldn't lose her older one either.
25:50She was in a rush.
25:51She only made my sister meat soup.
25:54But my sister thought mom was half-assing it.
25:57She frowned and knocked the bowl over.
26:00Mom, you don't love me at all.
26:03You only love my sister.
26:05You used to make me lots of good food.
26:07I don't want meat soup.
26:09Mom saw her like this and snapped back.
26:11What do you mean I only love your sister?
26:13Haven't I been good enough to you all these years?
26:16Your sister never picked on food like you do.
26:18She loves meat soup.
26:20My sister started crying hard.
26:22Nobody loves that nasty meat soup.
26:25She ran to her room crying.
26:27She said she wouldn't eat anymore.
26:29Mom was exhausted.
26:31But she started doubting what she just said.
26:33Did Emma really love meat soup?
26:36She tried hard to remember.
26:38Then she realized something sad.
26:39As a mom, she knew her older daughter hated kale and loved spicy jerky.
26:45But her little girl?
26:46She didn't even know what her little girl liked to eat.
26:49Mom opened her phone.
26:51She scrolled through photos from bottom to top.
26:53The one who appeared the most was still my sister.
26:57At the pack's new territory.
26:58At the banquet hall.
26:59In new dresses.
27:01Getting awards at training.
27:02In every photo, my sister smiled like a flower.
27:05She stood in the most obvious center spot.
27:09She finally found a photo of me in it.
27:11But I was only in the corner.
27:13Only half my face showed.
27:15How did this happen?
27:16Her fingers shook.
27:18She tried to zoom in.
27:19But the photo was too blurry.
27:21She couldn't even see my face.
27:25Emma, what did I do to you?
27:31Mom held her chest in pain.
27:33Her throat made broken sobs.
27:35In her heart, she always thought she treated both daughters the same.
27:39Just sometimes she favored the older one.
27:41But photos don't lie.
27:43Mom finally realized she had ignored me for five whole years.
27:47The study door opened.
27:48Dad walked out with red eyes.
27:51He showed mom a message from my teacher.
27:53Emma is a very good cub.
27:55She always shares her cookies with kids who didn't bring breakfast.
27:58She says good cubs learn to share.
28:01Like she shares her love with her sister.
28:03But Emma is too obedient.
28:05Even with food she hates, her little face scrunches up.
28:08But she still eats it.
28:09So I told her, if you don't like cabbage, you can eat spinach.
28:14Learn to say no to things that make you uncomfortable.
28:17I hope parents can teach Emma to say no.
28:21Dad let out a long, painful cry.
28:23I'm a bad dad.
28:25Even the teacher saw something wrong with Emma.
28:29But I got mad at Emma for being brave.
28:31At that moment, all the lies fell apart.
28:34Saying it was for family peace.
28:36Saying it was for my sister's illness.
28:38Those were just excuses to run from responsibility.
28:40They simply loved the other cub more.
28:43The one who whined, laughed, and begged.
28:45And ignored the quiet one.
28:47The good one.
28:48The one who always said, it's okay.
28:50Because she said, it's okay, she could be sacrificed.
28:54Because she said, it's okay, she could be ignored.
28:57Mom got up.
28:58She slowly walked into my room.
29:02On the nightstand was the picture book I hadn't finished reading last time.
29:06Mom picked it up.
29:08Inside the pages was a picture I cut out from a magazine.
29:11It showed a kitten sleeping soundly in its mom's arms.
29:15On the back, I wrote in pencil.
29:17I want mom to hold me like this too.
29:19In that moment, mom felt like she'd been stabbed.
29:22Her heart hurt so much she couldn't breathe.
29:25She clutched the picture tightly and let out a heartbroken cry.
29:28Emma, I'm sorry.
29:30It's all my fault.
29:32Mom's fault.
29:33In the empty room, only her cries echoed.
29:35If I'd noticed earlier, would you still be here with me?
29:39I floated in the air.
29:40I wanted to hug her and tell her I didn't blame her.
29:42My hand went through her body.
29:44All that was left was a faint breeze.
29:46Mom seemed to feel something.
29:48She looked up suddenly, confused.
29:50Emma?
29:50She looked all around.
29:51Is that you?
29:52Mom stood up in a panic.
29:54Emma, if you're still here, give me a sign.
29:56Mom, even just a little sound, please.
29:58Her eyes were full of hope, but she couldn't hear me, even though I just wanted to say,
30:03I love you, mom.
30:04After a long time, the hope in mom's eyes faded.
30:07They went dead again.
30:08She hung her head in despair.
30:09She laughed at herself.
30:11I'm the one who killed you.
30:12You must hate me.
30:14Why would you ever answer me?
30:16After pulling herself together, mom noticed the shoes were gone.
30:20She searched the whole living room.
30:22She found them under the couch.
30:26Dad shook his head.
30:27He said it wasn't him, so that was only left.
30:30Mom thought it might be my sister.
30:32A bad feeling grew in her heart.
30:34Dad thought the same thing.
30:35He forgot about being a good husband.
30:37He used a key to open my sister's locked door.
30:40Right there, he saw my sister eating jerky in big bites.
30:43She looked nothing like someone with an eating disorder.
30:46My sister quickly hid the jerky under her blanket.
30:48Out of habit, she tried to blame me.
30:50Mom, I didn't eat jerky.
30:52Emma did.
30:53Right after she said it, her face showed regret.
30:55I was already dead.
30:57Dead people can't sneak food.
30:58Mom immediately thought of the last jerky incident.
31:01Her face went cold.
31:02She asked,
31:03Last time, were you the one eating jerky and blaming it on Emma?
31:09My sister forced herself to say no.
31:11Mom asked again.
31:12Aren't you?
31:13My sister finally broke down and admitted it.
31:15I only ate a little.
31:17Mom, didn't you say I can eat jerky?
31:20I can't eat anything I want.
31:21My sister cried and reached for mom's hand.
31:24But mom pushed her away hard.
31:25That's different.
31:27You can eat whatever you want because you have an eating disorder.
31:30I wish you would eat more.
31:34But Olivia, tell me the truth.
31:36Is your eating disorder real?
31:38My sister tried to lie again.
31:39But mom's eyes were too scary.
31:41So scary that my sister didn't dare lie.
31:44She cried and admitted it was all fake.
31:47It's all fake.
31:48I just wanted mom to care about me more.
31:52Emma was stealing mom's love from me.
31:55Only by faking sick would mom love me with all her heart.
31:58My sister sobbed out the truth.
32:00Mom kept pushing.
32:01Then why did you force your sister to eat?
32:03If she got fat, she'd be ugly.
32:06Mom and dad would only love pretty me.
32:08Mom, don't be mad.
32:09Dad, I won't lie to you again.
32:12My sister's face turned blue from crying.
32:14She could barely breathe.
32:15She reached out for a hug.
32:16But mom was so shocked by the truth, she kept stepping back.
32:20She never thought of the daughter she gave up everything in the divorce.
32:23It could be so cruel.
32:25Dad raised his fist to hit my sister.
32:27Dad's fist stopped in midair.
32:29It hit the couch instead.
32:31He looked down at mom.
32:33After Emma's funeral, let's get a divorce.
32:35His voice was hoarse.
32:36Mom sent my sister back to her ex-partner's home.
32:39My sister cried and begged.
32:41But it didn't matter.
32:42Just like when I cried and begged mom to save me.
32:45All alone.
32:46No one to help.
32:47The grave was on a hillside.
32:49The wind was strong.
32:50Mom put on the little leather shoes in front of the tombstone.
32:54She fell to her knees.
32:56Dad stood nearby.
32:57His face was covered in tears.
32:59He touched my name on the stone.
33:00His fingertips were cold.
33:02Baby, I'm sorry.
33:04Dad was wrong.
33:06Dad was wrong.
33:07If there's a next life, don't be our daughter.
33:12Find a family that truly loves you.
33:14Be the treasure in their hands.
33:16Don't meet us again.
33:18Don't suffer like this anymore.
