Short filmTranscript
00:00A man gripped my wife's hips, pounding into her relentlessly.
00:06My wife moaned under him shamelessly.
00:09She arched her back, pressing herself closer to him.
00:12The man captured one of her nipples between his teeth, sucking at the sensitive bud.
00:17The wet sounds of their coupling fill the air, punctuated by their cries of pleasure.
00:22Tears stung my eyes, but I couldn't look away,
00:25forced to witness every intimate detail of her infidelity.
00:28My wife cheated on me with her first love, even gave all my money to him.
00:34I finally divorced her. Now she begged me to come back.
00:37The day our son lay on the narrow hospital bed, his skin pale and lips dry.
00:42I begged everyone I knew, still short $200 for surgery.
00:47No matter how I pleaded, my wife only said she had no money,
00:50because she gave all the money to her first love, Sebastian.
00:54I have no money.
00:55To save my son, my mother secretly sold the life support medicine meant to keep her alive.
01:00She died soon after, untreated.
01:02I buried her alone.
01:04Then I picked Jason up from the hospital.
01:06That's when I found my wife's receipts.
01:08Haute couture suits.
01:09Luxury watches worth millions.
01:11A private jet.
01:12My hands shook as I held them.
01:15I went home with everything in my grip.
01:17Before I could speak, Jason stepped in front of me.
01:20Dad, Mom just needs money to help Uncle Sebastian.
01:23Do you have to make such a big fuss?
01:25I looked at my son, the one my mother died for.
01:28My chest felt like it was collapsing.
01:30Evelyn didn't even deny it.
01:32Sebastian has culture.
01:33He needs nice things.
01:35Unlike you, a house husband who cries over $200.
01:40I laughed and threw the receipts onto the floor.
01:43After that, I walked out of the house alone.
01:46The evening air was cold against my skin.
01:49Behind me, I heard the front door open.
01:52Footsteps followed.
01:53Evelyn caught up to me and pushed a reusable grocery bag into my hands.
01:57Jason is getting better.
01:59Pick up some steak on your back.
02:00Then, as if nothing unusual had happened, she added,
02:04I've transferred your weekly grocery money.
02:06Don't ask me for any extra.
02:08Her face still carried that same gentle smile.
02:11As if the argument we just had meant nothing.
02:14When we were young, we had almost nothing.
02:16Back then, Evelyn used to hand me a small envelope every Friday.
02:20Not much, but enough to get us through the week.
02:23Sometimes she'd smile shyly, like we were partners building a life together.
02:27Now?
02:28Evelyn earned more in a single month than I used to make in half a year.
02:31But the amount of money she gave me to run the household hardly changed at all.
02:36Still the same tight weekly budget.
02:38She always had reasons.
02:40Jason's tuition is expensive.
02:42We need to be disciplined with our spending.
02:45She never told me she had so much money.
02:47Money she was secretly sending to Sebastian.
02:51I'm not cooking tonight.
02:53You and Jason can figure something out yourselves.
02:55The moment the words left my mouth, something shifted.
02:59Evelyn's expression darkened.
03:02Daniel, are you still sulking about that $200?
03:09I really don't know what you're getting so bent out of shape about.
03:12She had always been like this, giving orders without even realizing it.
03:17A good life, she called it.
03:19A life where she decided what mattered.
03:21So she drained every dollar I had.
03:24Textbooks.
03:25Expensive supplements.
03:26Things I never questioned.
03:28So I stood on a chair, in the middle of the night, catching rainwater,
03:32just so she could sleep through a leaking roof.
03:35I wasn't even 30 when the joint pain started.
03:38Whenever the weather turned, it came crawling back.
03:41Sharp.
03:42Relentless.
03:43Impossible to ignore.
03:44The first time I asked her for money, to see a doctor, she didn't even look up.
03:49When you get older, take some painkillers, you'll be fine.
03:54Back then, I believed her.
03:56Now, I know the truth.
03:58While I was swallowing cheap painkillers, pretending not to hurt,
04:01she was buying Sebastian medication that cost a fortune.
04:0530 years of sacrifice, of compromise.
04:08And I was the only fool who believed we were building a life together.
04:12I slowly lifted my head and let out a bitter laugh.
04:16Evelyn laughed like I'd said something ridiculous.
04:19Divorce?
04:20Daniel, don't be dramatic.
04:22You're still angry over money.
04:24She pulled out two crumpled $10 bills and shoved them into my hand.
04:29Buy yourself that pastry you like.
04:31And grab bread for Jason.
04:33Then she turned and walked back inside.
04:36The door shut without another word.
04:38I stayed outside, staring at the money in my palm.
04:41Jason's voice came through the wall.
04:43Mom.
04:45Why did you even give Dad money?
04:47He's acting up because you keep letting him.
04:50Just stop giving him anything.
04:51Let him live off his pension.
04:53There was a pause inside.
04:56Then Evelyn spoke, calm and certain.
04:58Your father already sends his entire pension to Uncle Sebastian.
05:03Sebastian is a respectable man.
05:05After the factory let him go, he had nothing.
05:08I tightened my grip on the worn grocery basket.
05:11My mind flashed back.
05:13Years ago, Evelyn had just given birth to our daughter.
05:17I received the notice from the factory.
05:19Termination.
05:20I couldn't believe it.
05:21I told myself I had to go to the factory and ask the manager why.
05:25Evelyn holding my hand, crying, begging me not to go back.
05:29She said she would work and support me and the children.
05:32So I believed her.
05:33I left the factory and never went back.
05:36Only later did I learn the truth.
05:38The man fired from the factory was not me.
05:41It was Sebastian.
05:43Evelyn replaced my identity with his and let him take my position.
05:47But the factory refused to keep him on the benefits plan.
05:50No pension.
05:51No security.
05:52So Evelyn took my pension and sent it to him every month for 25 years.
05:57I lived as a house husband with no income.
06:00I never understood why I had been fired.
06:03Now I finally did.
06:04It was all done by the woman I loved.
06:07My hand trembled.
06:08The grocery bag slipped and hit the ground.
06:10I pulled out my phone.
06:12Lawyer.
06:13I want a divorce filed.
06:14Today.
06:15I came back from Leo, the neighbor lawyer, and pushed open the door.
06:20Evelyn was in the living room, watching TV, face cold under the bright lights.
06:25Gray hair, wrinkles, but still composed, still elegant.
06:30A month ago I had seen Sebastian's post on social media.
06:34He was in France, smiling under the sun.
06:37He looked nothing like a man approaching 60.
06:40At the time I even felt a trace of envy.
06:43I told Evelyn,
06:45Why do others get to travel the world when we're stuck here?
06:48She smiled.
06:52Once Jason settles down, we'll go too.
06:56I actually believed her.
06:58I worked harder, took more odd jobs, saved for Jason's future.
07:03Then I saw the cropped photo.
07:05Sebastian wasn't alone.
07:07Evelyn was there too, same color outfit, standing beside him like a couple.
07:13I was the only one left behind in this aging apartment, surrounded by smoke and silence.
07:19Evelyn turned off the TV when I walked in, arms crossed, waiting.
07:25I ignored her, changed my shoes, walked toward the bedroom.
07:29The remote hit the table hard behind me.
07:33Daniel!
07:34If you're unhappy, just say it!
07:36Stop acting like this!
07:38I didn't turn around.
07:40I spoke flatly.
07:42I did.
07:43I want a divorce.
07:47You're really doing this over money?
07:50You think you can survive on your own?
07:55I finally looked at her.
07:57All these things in this house.
07:59How many did I pay for with my own labor?
08:05And where did my money go, Evelyn?
08:08The door burst open.
08:09Jason rushed out, headphones still hanging around his neck.
08:14What now?
08:16You accusing mom of cheating again?
08:18Sebastian and mom are innocent.
08:21You're just disgusting for thinking that.
08:25Your grandmother died because your mother refused to give me $200.
08:31She sold her medicine to save you.
08:38Jason froze, just for a second.
08:43You're insane.
08:45You're making up stories just to attack mom.
08:49Evelyn sighed, like she was tired of all this.
08:53She reached into her bag, pulled out $200, and placed it on the table.
09:03And she turned, comforting Jason, like nothing had happened.
09:08I looked at the money, then shook my head.
09:15This can't be ended.
09:16It's already too late.
09:22That night, I didn't go home.
09:26I checked into a cheap hotel with the $200 Evelyn had thrown at me.
09:30That was all the money I had left.
09:32Everything else had already been spent.
09:34On Jason's hospital bills.
09:36On treatments.
09:37On survival.
09:39When we were short just $200, even the hospital staff didn't believe it.
09:44How can someone be so poor they don't even have that?
09:48But I was.
09:50I cleaned apartments for $50 an hour.
09:53I collected scrap and trash in the Northern District for $80 a trip.
09:57And still, Jason's school fees were $300,000 a year.
10:01His monthly allowance alone was $8,000.
10:05I never stopped working, never stopped saving, never stopped cutting myself down to nothing.
10:11In the end, I scraped together just over $50,000.
10:14And I gave it all to save my son.
10:18I truly had nothing left.
10:20I thought Evelyn was struggling too.
10:23I thought she was drowning in research expenses.
10:25Supporting students, funding projects, burdened by family.
10:33I was wrong.
10:34She had already become a renowned academic.
10:37One project alone could bring in millions.
10:42And all of it went to Sebastian.
10:49I know it sounds pathetic at my age to still care about something like this.
10:54But after 30 years of scraping and sacrificing, shouldn't there be an answer?
11:00That night, away from them, I slept better than I had in years.
11:05In my dream, I was back in the village where it all began.
11:09Evelyn was the only educated girl there.
11:12Every family wanted her for their son.
11:14But she chose me.
11:16She said we were promised since childhood.
11:19She bought a bicycle with all her savings and called it her dowry for me.
11:23I brought her out of the village, into the town's school.
11:26I worked double shifts, triple shifts at the back room, harder than anyone else.
11:33Evelyn built a small flashlight for me, so I could walk home safely at night.
11:37Whenever she could, she waited for me after shifts, no matter how late.
11:42And before her morning classes, she still prepared food for me.
11:46Back then, I thought I had married the best woman in the world.
11:50So when did it change?
11:55Maybe...
11:56It started when she was transferred to the city's elite school.
12:00She was 28, young, admired, full of future.
12:04I was 30, already worn down like a man twice my age.
12:08I was assigned to a factory near her school.
12:11That's where she met Sebastian, the supervisor.
12:14He was educated, like her.
12:16Polished, confident, effortless in speech.
12:19And I, I was just working, surviving, unaware of what was forming behind my back for 25 years.
12:29So what was I, in all of this?
12:32Her husband?
12:33The father of her children?
12:35Or just a tool she never stopped using?
12:39The next morning, I went to the bank.
12:41I checked my pension account with my ID.
12:44I withdrew what was left.
12:46Just a few thousand dollars.
12:47Then I walked into a shopping mall and bought something I had wanted for years.
12:51A massage device for my back.
12:54My spine had been damaged for a long time.
12:57Even the doctor said it couldn't be fully fixed.
13:00Every time I mentioned the pain, Evelyn would sigh.
13:04Everyone has back pain.
13:06Don't be dramatic.
13:07I wasn't being dramatic.
13:08I just realized this family is no longer worth my devotion.
13:13I came back from the mall with takeout in my hands.
13:16No cooking.
13:17No chores.
13:18No noise.
13:19For the first time in years, I felt strangely light.
13:22I even hummed as I unlocked the door.
13:25Then I heard screaming.
13:26I dropped everything and rushed inside.
13:28Jason was on the floor, just out of surgery, unable to move properly.
13:32I lifted him onto the sofa in panic.
13:34Before I could speak, he snapped at me.
13:36Where were you last night?
13:38Do you even care about this family anymore?
13:40Because of you upsetting mom, this is happening to me.
13:44Then he ordered me to wash fruit for him like nothing had happened.
13:47I stopped.
13:48I understood immediately.
13:50Evelyn knew I was pulling away.
13:52So she used Jason as pressure.
13:54She always knew where to strike me.
13:56I looked at my son differently now.
13:58He was like her.
14:00Sharp.
14:00Proud.
14:01Used to being obeyed.
14:03His entire future depended on her side of the family.
14:06And I was just the inconvenient one.
14:08When he was small, he clung to my neck and said,
14:11Dad, I'll love you forever.
14:14Back then, I was the only one raising him.
14:16So he loved me the most.
14:18Now that he was grown, I had become replaceable.
14:22I looked at him and I broke everything.
14:24Then at him lying there, ordering me around.
14:27Do it yourself.
14:28I said calmly.
14:29He stared at me like I had changed into someone else.
14:33Then he called Evelyn.
14:34Her voice came through the speaker.
14:36Calm as always.
14:37Don't worry.
14:38I'll deal with it when I finish things with Sebastian.
14:41Just coax your father.
14:42He'll calm down.
14:43As if I was predictable.
14:45As if I could never leave.
14:47I almost laughed.
14:48Then my phone rang again.
14:50It's Leo.
14:50The lawyer.
14:52Sir, we found something serious.
14:53Your wife and Sebastian registered a marriage abroad 20 years ago.
14:57They also have a child together.
14:59A child in a, but they loved him.
15:00Oh.
15:00Oh.
15:12Oh.
17:42I added the final file, the lawsuit.
17:46Evelyn, adultery, bigamy, asset mispanipulation.
17:51I'm not just divorcing you.
17:52I'm taking back everything you stole from me.
17:56She tried to speak, but her voice broke.
17:58I cut her off.
18:00There was nothing left to hear.
18:02See you in court.
18:05After the confrontation, I stopped caring about their moods.
18:08For the first time in decades, I felt free.
18:13Evelyn kept calling, trying to explain.
18:15I blocked her number.
18:17I moved out.
18:19Then the entire family started calling me.
18:22Relatives, elders, everyone.
18:24Asking me not to make a scene.
18:27But I ignored them all.
18:29Before I became a full-time house husband, I worked as an accountant at the factory.
18:33I spent my whole life balancing numbers.
18:37I never thought the final account I would settle would be my marriage.
18:41I bought a train ticket for a trip out of town.
18:44When I came back home to pack my things, Evelyn came back.
18:48She saw the suitcase and froze.
18:50Then she forced a smile.
18:53I admit it.
18:54I did send money to Sebastian.
18:57But I never betrayed you.
18:58I never betrayed this family.
19:01Our marriage abroad was only for his child's registration.
19:04It was fake.
19:06Nothing real happened.
19:07And without him, Jason wouldn't have finished his PhD so smoothly.
19:12Daniel, you have to believe me.
19:18I looked at her quietly.
19:21All these years you gave Sebastian everything, I said.
19:25When you traveled with him, lived in luxury with him,
19:28did you ever think about what I was eating?
19:33Now you say it meant nothing.
19:35How convenient.
19:36She kept talking, defending herself.
19:39Sebastian was alone.
19:40I was just helping him.
19:43Jason understands me.
19:45Why can't you?
19:47I almost laughed.
19:49So I asked myself, what about me?
19:51Who helped me raise the children alone?
19:54Who helped me survive all those years?
19:57No one.
19:58I closed my suitcase.
20:00Keep your reasons.
20:01Go be his family then.
20:02And don't forget to register your marriage properly this time.
20:05I walked out before she could stop me.
20:11I went into the mountains and checked into a small countryside inn.
20:15For the first time in decades, I lived only for myself.
20:19I sat on a wooden rocking chair outside, looking at the green mountains.
20:24It felt like I had been reborn.
20:28On the 15th day at the countryside inn, I received a call from my daughter, Emily.
20:34When I first left, she had already called once.
20:37I told her I just needed some air and to not worry.
20:39She didn't ask much, only told me to rest and call her if anything happened.
20:44Unlike Jason, who never cared how I was doing, Emily had always been different.
20:49She didn't interfere much in the family, but she never stopped caring about me.
20:54Fifteen days passed before she called again.
20:56This time, her voice was more serious.
20:58She asked me what I planned to do next and whether I had somewhere to stay.
21:03Dad, I should tell you something.
21:06I'm divorced too.
21:09Don't misunderstand.
21:10I'm not asking you to take care of me.
21:12I just don't want you to be alone.
21:14I worry about you living by yourself.
21:17I understood immediately.
21:19Emily had always been the responsible child.
21:21While I was drowning in housework and survival, she would quietly help me whenever she could.
21:27Unlike Jason, who only watched from the side.
21:30But in Evelyn's eyes, everything Emily did was expected.
21:34A daughter was supposed to endure, supposed to sacrifice.
21:38So when Emily grew up, I encouraged her to leave, to build her own life.
21:42I never expected she had already gone through a divorce.
21:45I left the countryside inn that day and went straight to her home.
21:48It was warm, like a real home.
21:50Emily's daughter, my granddaughter, was already grown.
21:54A top student, preparing for exams.
21:56To welcome me, Emily picked her up from school early.
21:59We went to a nice restaurant for dinner.
22:01I rarely ate outside.
22:02Even my 60th birthday had been a simple home-cooked meal, made by me.
22:06Dad.
22:07Emily said softly.
22:08You'll stay with us from now on.
22:10My granddaughter, Ava, handed me a gift.
22:12A watch.
22:13Expensive looking.
22:14I hesitated immediately, worried about the cost.
22:17But Emily just smiled.
22:18I can afford it now.
22:20I'm a senior manager at an international company.
22:22We'll be fine.
22:23After Ava's exams, I'll take you both traveling.
22:26You've worked your whole life.
22:28Now it's your turn to rest.
22:29For the first time, I felt my life hadn't been completely wasted.
22:34Back home, Emily had already prepared a room for me.
22:37I noticed how few clothes I had brought.
22:40She said she would take me shopping on the weekend.
22:42Then she asked quietly,
22:44Why didn't you tell me about the divorce?
22:46That was the question I had avoided, too.
22:48I was afraid she wasn't doing well.
22:50Afraid my decision years ago had hurt her life.
22:53But she just held my hand and smiled.
22:55Dad, no one survives by holding on to the wrong people.
22:59If someone makes your life heavier,
23:01you don't owe them your suffering.
23:02You were just too focused on keeping the family together.
23:06I stayed silent.
23:07She was right.
23:08A truth I only learned at the end of my life.
23:11But she had learned it much earlier.
23:13And maybe that was the only comfort left for me now.
23:16Dad, this time, can you really stay firm?
23:21Can you really stop caring about Mom and Jason?
23:24I talked with Emily for a long time that day.
23:3235 years.
23:34Had I not cared enough already?
23:37What did I get in return?
23:39Evelyn took everything I did as something she deserved.
23:43Jason treated my existence like an inconvenience.
23:45If I still couldn't let go now,
23:47then my entire life would truly be wasted.
23:50They don't matter to me anymore.
23:52I only care about myself now.
23:55And you and Ava, that's enough.
24:02After that, my life became simple.
24:04I signed up for a few hobby classes.
24:07I met new people.
24:09Sometimes I helped Emily with housework
24:11or cooked meals when I felt like it.
24:14She always told me not to overdo it.
24:17She even gave me money sometimes,
24:19telling me to buy things for myself.
24:22I stayed at her home for two months.
24:24And I could already imagine what life looked like on the other side.
24:30Without me, the house must have fallen apart.
24:34Jason had moved out after recovering,
24:36living with classmates.
24:38No one was cleaning.
24:39No one was maintaining anything.
24:41Laundry piled up.
24:43Dirty dishes filled the sink.
24:45The smell of decay filled the kitchen.
24:47Evelyn was no longer the composed woman she used to be.
24:50She had become someone who could barely take care of herself.
24:53Her hair had turned whiter.
24:55Her clothes were unwashed for days.
24:58One night, the power went out because the bill wasn't paid.
25:00She walked through the dark house, hitting furniture she couldn't see.
25:04And only then did she realize something.
25:07A home doesn't stay in order by itself.
25:09It is maintained by someone who never stopped working.
25:13Now that person was gone.
25:14Her life collapsed into chaos.
25:16She started calling Jason.
25:18Jason, the electricity bill hasn't been paid.
25:21Jason, come home for dinner.
25:23Jason, how do I use the washing machine?
25:26At first he answered.
25:28Then he stopped picking up.
25:30Even Jason, who had once depended on her, grew tired of her voice.
25:35Evelyn spent her life traveling with Sebastian.
25:38Eating in luxury restaurants.
25:40Living as if she were finally free.
25:42She thought that was happiness.
25:44But she forgot the man who stayed behind.
25:47The man who raised the children.
25:49Who maintained the house.
25:50Who gave up everything.
25:51She had forgotten her husband.
25:54Me.
25:54Now, alone in the dark.
25:56She finally understood.
25:58I was wrong.
25:59But regret doesn't fix anything.
26:02She sat in the darkness for an entire night.
26:04A few days later, her lawyer came again.
26:07Mrs. Chin.
26:08The divorce case is approaching trial.
26:12I came to add more documents.
26:14Evelyn had already turned him away twice before.
26:17But this time, she stood up slowly and let him in.
26:20Leo.
26:20She said hoarsely.
26:21I can agree to the divorce.
26:23I can return everything.
26:24Just let me see Daniel once more.
26:28Evelyn knew I had already made my decision.
26:31There was no turning back.
26:33But she still wanted to see me one last time.
26:36At least to say a proper apology.
26:38For 35 years of my life.
26:40For everything I had done for that family.
26:42For the lies she built around me.
26:45She wanted to say it to my face.
26:47So her lawyer called me again.
27:10Evelyn gave a bitter smile when she heard it.
27:12I was wrong.
27:13I was wrong.
27:14I was wrong.
27:14I really was wrong.
27:15She whispered.
27:16I really was wrong.
27:18Then she asked her lawyer, Leo, one last thing.
27:21Can you give him my apology?
27:23She took out a bank card and a document.
27:25This is everything I have left.
27:27And this is the divorce certificate from abroad.
27:30I'm not asking him to forgive me.
27:32I just think he deserves closure.
27:36Her hands shook as she signed the divorce papers.
27:38Daniel, I trapped you for your whole life.
27:42I'm sorry.
27:45I respect your decision.
27:47I set you free.
27:48Tears ran down her face as she signed her name.
27:51The agreement was complete.
27:53Two signatures.
27:55The marriage was over.
27:57My lawyer called me again.
28:00It's done.
28:01She signed everything.
28:02At that moment, my life finally broke away from hers.
28:06A few seconds later, my phone rang again.
28:08A transfer notification.
28:10Evelyn had sent everything she owned to my account.
28:1330 years of guilt.
28:15Paid in full.
28:16I didn't refuse it.
28:17Because it was never a gift.
28:18It was what I had already earned.
28:21To celebrate my freedom, I went to the market.
28:23I bought food my daughter and granddaughter liked.
28:26My granddaughter, Ava, had just finished her entrance exams.
28:29When they came home, I told them everything.
28:32Your mother and I are officially divorced.
28:34She transferred me a sum of money.
28:36I want to use it to take both of you on a trip.
28:39Emily agreed immediately.
28:40But she didn't let me spend that money.
28:43She booked everything herself.
28:47Dad, keep it for yourself.
28:49You'll need it later.
28:50So I kept part of it aside.
28:53The rest I used for the trip.
28:55That whole summer, we traveled together.
29:04One autumn afternoon, my phone rang.
29:07Dad, Jason called me.
29:09Mom is in the hospital.
29:10I see.
29:11It's Emily.
29:12Her voice was serious.
29:14Then Jason himself called me.
29:16Dad, I know you and Mom are divorced.
29:19But she wants to see you.
29:20Please, can you come?
29:21No.
29:23I didn't even wait for him to finish.
29:27Because I knew what it really meant.
29:29Just another request for me to return and take care of everything again.
29:33To become the caretaker again.
29:36I had escaped once.
29:38I would not go back.
29:40They had lived freely by pushing everything onto me.
29:43Now it was my turn.
29:45To live as if none of it belonged to me anymore.
29:53Jason, I've already told you.
29:54Your mother and I are divorced.
29:56Her matters have nothing to do with me anymore.
29:58I hung up the phone.
30:00I thought that was the end of it.
30:02But Jason still came.
30:03He stood in front of me and called out,
30:06Dad.
30:08Mom doesn't want anything.
30:10She just wants to see you.
30:14We're not asking you to take care of her.
30:17If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have grown up like this.
30:21Mom wouldn't have lived so well either.
30:25His voice was steady.
30:27Honest.
30:28I'm sorry.
30:29For a moment, I almost believed it.
30:31Maybe they really had realized my value after I left.
30:34But understanding comes too late sometimes.
30:38Once a person's heart goes cold, nothing can warm it again.
30:43I won't go back.
30:44If your mother needs care, hire a caregiver.
30:46I can pay half.
30:50Emily stood beside me.
30:52If there's a cost, I'll cover half.
30:55The rest is your responsibility.
30:58Jason frowned.
30:59Star is no that here.
31:00But you need an unlooking in the never half?
31:02Do you even know how expensive caregivers are right now?
31:05I have a family.
31:06Loans.
31:07Everything.
31:08I can't afford this.
31:10Mom gave all her money to you.
31:12Shouldn't you return some of it?
31:13I almost laughed.
31:15So that was it.
31:16Jason.
31:17I said slowly.
31:18That money is what your mother owes for 30 years.
31:22People pay for what they do.
31:23I won't take anything out.
31:25If you still see me as your father, then leave.
31:29Silence.
31:30Then he spoke again, softer this time.
31:33Dad.
31:34Can you really bear to see her alone like this?
31:37Before I came, she said, even if she dies, she just wants to see you once.
31:41I remembered something I had heard recently.
31:44Sebastian was dead.
31:45Fell down a staircase abroad.
31:47The man she had spent her entire life protecting was gone first.
31:51Funny how life works.
31:52People chase illusions for decades and end up abandoned by them in the end.
31:56I looked at Jason, then said coldly, then let her go.
32:00She spent her whole life with him anyway.
32:02Let her continue.
32:02I turned and left without another word.
32:05The sun was setting.
32:06Golden lights spilled across the trees, quiet and distant.
32:10I sat down on a bench and watched it fall.
32:12Do not think the sunset means the end, the old saying goes.
32:16Even at dusk, the sky is still full of light.
32:19My life had not ended.
32:20It had simply turned.
32:22And for whatever years remained, I would finally live for myself.
