Court métrageTranscription
00:00:01Ever's the day we were trapped in the snow-covered mountains, Mom has called me a liar.
00:00:08Not because I actually lied, but because of this thing on my wrist, the Thermal May Monitoring Bracelet.
00:00:17My mother Grace is obsessed with technology.
00:00:20The one belief she holds above all else is that data never lies.
00:00:30In an environment like this, every single calorie must be used where it matters most.
00:00:36Anyone showing a red light gets no food for the day.
00:00:43Mine is green.
00:00:46Your bracelet is red! You're recklessly consuming the last remaining calories in this house!
00:00:52Mom, I only had a cup of water this morning. I really don't know why it's red!
00:00:57Shut up!
00:00:59Your body has excess heat. You don't deserve any rations today.
00:01:05Mom, I'm really cold and hungry.
00:01:08The machine doesn't lie, Chloe.
00:01:11From that day on, those words became the most unquestionable truth in that cabin.
00:01:16The red light on my bracelet became like a curse.
00:01:19It declared me over-consuming heat every single day.
00:01:22At noon that day, Mom distributed the food.
00:01:24Anna got a larger portion because her bracelet was green. She needs to replenish energy.
00:01:29Mine was pitifully small because my bracelet was flashing red.
00:01:33Mom, I haven't eaten anything. I'm really hungry.
00:01:37Chloe, machines don't lie. Just to get an extra bite, you're actually trying to deceive me.
00:01:42Look at your sister Anna. Her bracelet is always green.
00:01:45She'd rather stay hungry than steal even a scrip of food. And you, you're a thief!
00:01:48I didn't take any food. I really didn't.
00:01:52If you didn't steal anything, then why did I find the last piece of missing from the storage room this
00:01:58morning?
00:01:58I didn't take it!
00:02:10I ate it.
00:02:13She ate it! It's totally Anna! She just told me!
00:02:17Mom, I didn't! Sister, why are you accusing me?
00:02:22Mom, my bracelet is green. How could I have stolen the chocolate?
00:02:31Not only are you selfish enough to steal food, you even viciously frame your own sister!
00:02:38How did I end up with such a cruel daughter?
00:02:46Mom, I didn't lie. It really wasn't me. Please, just believe me this once. Just once.
00:03:00No?
00:03:02Even just a fraction of the tenderness she showed when she looked at Anna.
00:03:08Mom, I really didn't lie to you. Please believe me this time. I'm your daughter.
00:03:15Look at it yourself. Red! Chloe, it's red! It shows excess calories. If you didn't steal food, then who did?
00:03:21Your sister's bracelet is green. She can barely even stand. How could she possibly steal anything?
00:03:26I have to punish a lying child like you.
00:03:37I was wrong. I won't lie again. Mom, please.
00:04:01Mom, will my sister freeze lying there? Her? She won't freeze. Her bracelet is red. She's got excess heat.
00:04:08Anna, don't be like her. Be an honest child.
00:04:14My heart felt like it was being clenched by an icy hand. The pain so intense I could barely breathe.
00:04:21I didn't even have the strength to struggle anymore. My forehead began to burn with heat. Even my breath carried
00:04:28an abnormal warmth.
00:04:29Grace, Chloe doesn't look well. Her face is too red. Could she have a fever? Maybe we should give her
00:04:36some hot water?
00:04:38David, her bracelet is red. This isn't a fever. She secretly ate chocolate and her body temperature rose because of
00:04:45excess calories.
00:04:47She fooled you. She fooled you.
00:04:51You're still lying. Pretending to be sick to gain my sympathy? Looks like you need a real lesson.
00:04:57You're going to the attic right now to reflect on your mistakes.
00:05:09Mom, I really didn't steal the chocolate. I didn't lie.
00:05:24Mom, don't lock me in here. I'll die.
00:05:30When you figure it out, when you admit you stole the chocolate and your bracelet turns green, I'll let you
00:05:35out. Otherwise, you can stay here forever and reflect.
00:05:54Chloe, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you.
00:06:02Back then, she loved me too, didn't she?
00:06:14Grace, maybe we should let Chloe out. She hasn't eaten anything today.
00:06:18I had Anna bring her some bread.
00:06:20I wanted to say no one had brought me anything, but the words got stuck in my throat because I
00:06:26knew he wouldn't believe me.
00:06:40Big sister, are you cold? Are you hungry? Don't you really want some hot water and a biscuit?
00:06:47Anna, I'm so cold and hungry. Please give me the water and the biscuit.
00:06:51Give it to you?
00:06:56Oh, right. I almost forgot to tell you. That chocolate? I was the one who ate it. So sweet. So
00:07:02delicious.
00:07:03Too bad you didn't get any. But what can you do? Your core shack is red. Mom only believes me,
00:07:08not you.
00:07:09Want a drink? Then beg me. Say you're a liar that you stole the chocolate. Say it and I'll let
00:07:15you drink.
00:07:16Oops. My hand slipped. Sorry, big sister.
00:07:22I looked at the board beneath me as it frozen solid. Suddenly, I couldn't feel my feet anymore.
00:07:26The dizziness from the fever grew stronger and stronger. My vision blurred.
00:07:29I could clearly feel it, my body heat slipping away little by little, my life draining out of me.
00:07:33But I still couldn't accept it. I still hadn't lived to see the day Mom believed me.
00:07:38Mom, I'm so cold. I'm so hungry. I really didn't lie. Please believe me. Just once. Please.
00:07:45Dad, save me. I'm going to die. Dad!
00:07:50Music started playing downstairs. It was the deafening Symphony No. 5.
00:07:55The intense, surging music instantly drowned out my faint cries for help.
00:07:59The sound of me pounding on the floor completely swallowed them.
00:08:01She knew I was calling for help. She heard me. She just didn't want to listen.
00:08:07With that thunderous music, she blocked her own ears and completely cut off my last path to survival.
00:08:13My hands stopped pounding. In that moment, all my strength, all my hope, all my unwillingness vanished.
00:08:20I was so hungry. So cold. But Mom would never believe me. She would only believe the bracelet.
00:08:28The machine doesn't lie. What a ridiculous sentence.
00:08:33I don't know how much time passed. My body stopped trembling.
00:08:36Instead, a strange warmth began to spread across my skin.
00:08:40A false, burning sensation, as if I were no longer cold.
00:08:43I raised my hand and looked at my little finger, frozen to a purplish blue.
00:08:47Without a single ripple in my heart, I bent it forcily. Crack. A faint snapping sound.
00:08:51My little finger broke, but I felt no pain at all. So this is what it's like when a person
00:08:55is freezing to death.
00:08:55You really feel nothing. Mom. I thought again of when I was very young.
00:09:00Venster. Her embrace was so her warm. Her smile was so gentle.
00:09:04I want to go back to that time. I want Mom to hug me just once more.
00:09:08February 14th. 7th day of the blizzard. Mom found the chocolate missing.
00:09:11She said I stole it. It wasn't me. Anna ate it. My bracelet turned red.
00:09:15Mom hit me, shocked me with the bracelet, took my blanket and gave it to Anna. I'm so cold.
00:09:23Chloe, come here. Let Mom hug you.
00:09:31I felt weightless. I looked down. I was floating. And there, below me, I saw myself lying on that frozen
00:09:37pile of cardboard.
00:09:38My right hand was missing a little finger. The dead girl's wrist was still flashing red.
00:09:42Oh. Oh. I'm dead.
00:09:44I looked down. My body was still curled up on the freezing wooden floor.
00:09:48The thermal monitoring bracelet was still tightly fastened around my lifeless purplish wrist.
00:09:53The red light continued flashing tirelessly, reflecting on my pale, expressionless face. Eerie and ironic.
00:09:59I was dead. I died at the age of 10 in a blizzard in the Alps, locked in a freezing
00:10:03attic by my mom I loved most, frozen to death.
00:10:06I hovered there, looking at my own corpse. I didn't cry. I wasn't afraid.
00:10:10There was only a vast, lifeless calm inside me, like a nightmare that had lasted 10 years, finally ending.
00:10:15My soul passed through the attic door like a gust of wind, without the slightest resistance.
00:10:20I drifted down the stairs, into the living room. Mom, Dad, and Anna were gathered around the table by the
00:10:27fire, smiles on their faces.
00:10:29Smiles I hadn't seen in a long time. The satellite phone on the table was lit.
00:10:33I heard it. Just moments ago, Mom had gotten through to the rescue team.
00:10:38They said the blizzard had weakened. In two days, they would be able to fly up in a helicopter and
00:10:44take us down the mountain.
00:10:45We were saved, except me. I died three days before the rescue arrived. I died just as the storm was
00:10:53about to end.
00:10:53That's great! We can finally leave this awful place! Mom, I want cake! Don't we still have that emergency cream
00:11:00cake in storage? I want to eat it now!
00:11:02Alright.
00:11:08That cake Dad had bought it for me before we came to the mountains. I couldn't bear to eat it,
00:11:12so I hid it deep in the storage room.
00:11:14I wanted to wait until the blizzard ended, then take it out and share it with Mom, Dad, and my
00:11:19sister.
00:11:20I had even drawn a picture of our family on the box and written the words,
00:11:23I love Mom.
00:11:27Eat slowly. No one's gonna take it from you.
00:11:31Hmm.
00:11:32When we get down the mountain, I'll buy you a bigger, even better cake.
00:11:37I floated in front of them, watching this warm, joyful scene.
00:11:41And somewhere where my heart should have been, there was pain.
00:11:45Oh, right. Chloe is still locked in the attic. Since rescue is coming soon, maybe we should let her out.
00:11:52Let her have something to eat. She's been locked up for two days.
00:11:56She's been locked up for two days! She should have learned her lesson!
00:12:10My breath stopped instantly. Was she going to the attic? Was she going to see me? Was she finally going
00:12:17to discover that I was dead?
00:12:22Chloe.
00:12:26Chloe, come out and eat!
00:12:28No response.
00:12:30I'm inside. I can't answer you! I'm already dead! If you open the door, you'll see my body! I'm already
00:12:38dead!
00:12:38I looked at Mom with sorrow. If she found out I was dead, would she be sad? Would she regret
00:12:44it?
00:12:45Still sulking? You're already ten, not five. Trying to get my attention this way? Then don't come out.
00:12:51Mom! I'm not sulking! I'm dead! I'm already dead! Look at me! I froze to death! Right there in the
00:12:57attic!
00:12:57I'm not lying! The bracelet is broken! Anna ate it! Look at me!
00:13:02Why did it suddenly get so cold? Is the fireplace not burning strong enough? David, go add some more wood!
00:13:08Mom couldn't hear my voice. She couldn't feel my presence. I was a ghost. A ghost who died at her
00:13:15hands, ignored and forgotten.
00:13:16Don't sound the colder mother seriously.
00:13:19Shouldn't we turn on the heating? The rescue team will be here soon anyway.
00:13:23You're right. Let them see that even in this kind of environment, we can still maintain a scientific standard of
00:13:28living.
00:13:30She went downstairs and turned on the central heating and the floor heating throughout the house.
00:13:36The temperature in the attic rose as well. My body began to decompose faster.
00:13:45The water spread outward, soaking through the cardboard, seeping into the floor.
00:13:50I watched my body grow colder and stiffer, little by little, until signs of decay began to appear.
00:13:57That was my smell. The smell of death.
00:14:00They were going to leave after being rescued. They were going to leave this cabin that had trapped me.
00:14:06They were going to leave my body here, forever in this cold attic.
00:14:10I'll take something to Chloe. She's been in the attic for two days. She hasn't even had a sip of
00:14:15water.
00:14:15Take what? Her red light is on like that. She's got more than enough energy. She won't starve.
00:14:25Dad! Open the door! Hurry! Open it!
00:14:29If you just turn the handle, you'll see that I'm not moving anymore. You'll see my darkened face.
00:14:39Hello? Rescue team? Yes, this is David.
00:14:42What? You can come up the mountain in two days? That's great!
00:14:46The rescue team said the blizzard will completely stop. In two days they'll be able to come up.
00:14:53It was that close, just that tiny bit. Just one second. I could have been found.
00:14:57Maybe then, I wouldn't have to keep decaying.
00:15:11Mom was the first to notice.
00:15:15What is that smell? It's disgusting!
00:15:18Oh my god! It stinks! It's coming from the attic!
00:15:22Did my sister go on the floor? Did she do it on purpose? Is she trying to stink us to
00:15:27death?
00:15:32Chloe! What are you doing in there? It stinks!
00:15:51Chloe, didn't you want to disgust us? Fine. Then stay in there with your stink.
00:15:55Don't even think about coming out to pollute our air.
00:16:00The last trace of my attachment to her snapped completely. Just like that strip of tape.
00:16:05She would rather seal the cracks of the door with tape and endure the increasingly unbearable stench,
00:16:10then push the door open and look at her own daughter. I'm right here.
00:16:16Can't you see me?
00:16:22The tape in the end couldn't block the overwhelming stench of a rotting body.
00:16:26Another day passed. It was the day the rescue team had promised to come up the mountain.
00:16:45Chloe! I've had enough of you, you disgusting little brat! What exactly are you trying to do?
00:16:51Making the whole house stink on purpose? Are you trying to torment us?
00:16:53I'm going to teach you a lesson today!
00:17:11Chloe?
00:17:12Chloe?
00:17:23I'm talking to you, Chloe!
00:17:26I'm talking to you, Chloe!
00:17:32Oh!
00:17:32Oh!
00:17:47Chloe?
00:17:50No.
00:17:52No, that's impossible.
00:17:54Chloe!
00:17:54You're pretending, aren't you, Chloe?
00:17:56You're lying to Mum again, aren't you?
00:17:59Get up!
00:18:00Mum's not angry anymore!
00:18:02I won't scold you again!
00:18:04Get up!
00:18:04Don't scare me!
00:18:06Please!
00:18:07Her hand trembled as she reached beneath my nose.
00:18:10No breath.
00:18:11Then she reached for my neck, feeling for a pulse.
00:18:14Nothing.
00:18:14Only coldness.
00:18:16Only silence.
00:18:17I was truly dead.
00:18:18Dead in the attic she had locked with her own hands.
00:18:21Dead in the cold and hunger she had caused.
00:18:24Dead under the gaze.
00:18:25She never once chose to believe.
00:18:27Impossible.
00:18:28The machine doesn't lie.
00:18:31Impossible.
00:18:40They had followed the sound of the screams.
00:18:43The team leader pushed open the attic door, and froze the moment he saw what was inside.
00:18:47The body of a ten-year-old girl lay curled up on the cold floor, a bracelet flashing red on
00:18:52her wrist.
00:18:53A woman sat collapsed on the ground, screaming like a mad woman, her eyes unfocused completely deranged.
00:19:00David and Anna, who had followed behind, turned deathly pale the moment they saw my body.
00:19:06David's legs gave out, and he collapsed at the doorway, his whole body trembling violently.
00:19:11How did this happen?
00:19:13How did this happen?
00:19:13How did this happen?
00:19:15How did this happen?
00:19:15He finally understood, behind the door he had almost opened that day, lay his daughter's cold corpse.
00:19:21He finally understood that his repeated hesitation and retreat had ultimately pushed me to my death.
00:19:28Anna hid behind David, staring at my bluish, swollen face, and fear finally showed on her face.
00:19:34She burst into tears, clinging tightly to David's arm, her body shaking like a leaf in the autumn wind, barely
00:19:41able to stand.
00:19:43She was finally afraid.
00:19:45She finally understood that her prank, her lies, her framing, had cost a life, had killed her own sister.
00:19:55Quick! Call a doctor! Seal off the scene!
00:19:59The rescue team leader quickly snapped out of it, and shouted sharply at the others.
00:20:04Unable to suppress the anger in his voice, the team set up a cordon.
00:20:08A doctor pushed through the crowd and entered the attic, crouching beside my body for a long time.
00:20:14Examining carefully, his movements gentle, as if afraid of damaging my already fragile skin.
00:20:20Severe hypothermia. Organ failure. This child was starved for at least a month, and in temperatures well below freezing, she
00:20:29froze to death.
00:20:30Time of death was two to three days ago.
00:20:33It's not my fault! She was lying! She stole food! Look! The bracelet is red! The red light! It says
00:20:42she has excess calories!
00:20:44I follow the data! Machines don't lie!
00:20:47The doctor frowned, crouched down, and carefully tried to remove the bracelet from my wrist.
00:20:52But the strap had fused tightly with my frozen purplish skin, almost as if it had grown into the flesh.
00:20:59Gritting his teeth, the doctor took out specialized tools and carefully pried the bracelet off.
00:21:04Little by little, I floated in mid-air, watching the bracelet that had been on me for ten whole days
00:21:09finally leave my wrist.
00:21:11This cold shackle that had trapped me for ten days, that had caused my death, finally fell away.
00:21:17The doctor held the bracelet, turning it over and over, then opened the casing on the back.
00:21:23After just one glance, he let out a cold laugh, looking up at Mom.
00:21:28Ma'am, your so-called infuelable machine has been broken for a long time.
00:21:33The temperature sensor and calorie monitoring module have completely failed.
00:21:37The circuit shorted out, which is why the red light stays on.
00:21:40From the very first day it was worn, it was already broken.
00:21:43It couldn't measure anything at all. It could only keep flashing red.
00:21:47The truth, she had trusted above all else.
00:21:51The things she relied on to judge my life and death, had been a joke from the very beginning.
00:21:59You are lying!
00:22:05I hadn't lied. Not once.
00:22:10The bracelet was broken. She was wrong.
00:22:14No. No, that's impossible.
00:22:19No! Impossible! Machines don't lie!
00:22:26Look! Anna's bracelet is still green!
00:22:29This proves the system works! This is scientific!
00:22:33At that moment, a female rescue worker walked over to Anna, bent down, and took something out of her pocket.
00:22:39It had been hidden there for days, crumpled beyond recognition, still smeared with traces of chocolate, holding the wrapper.
00:22:47The rescue worker walked up to Mom and said coldly,
00:22:50Ma'am, is this the chocolate you said was stolen?
00:22:55We found it in your younger daughter's pocket.
00:22:57All eyes turned instantly toward Anna.
00:23:01Anna's face went pale in an instant.
00:23:08It wasn't me! My sister told me to hide it! She ate it! Not me!
00:23:17But this time, no one believed her anymore.
00:23:23Little girl, take off your bracelet and show it to me.
00:23:27Anna froze instantly.
00:23:32No! Mom gave it to me! I won't take it off!
00:23:35But the doctor gave her no chance to argue.
00:23:38He pulled out a screwdriver and pried the bracelet open on the spot.
00:23:42What was inside made everyone gasp.
00:23:44No sensors. No chip. No heat. Monitoring module. Nothing at all. Only two cheap green LED lights and a button
00:23:52battery. The circuit was hardwired, once powered.
00:23:56It is just a two yuan toy.
00:23:57He doctor slammed the shattered bracelet onto the ground in front of Mom. His voice trembled with barely contained rage.
00:24:04This bracelet of your younger daughter was designed to always show green from the very beginning. No matter what she
00:24:10said, what she did, or how much she lied, it would always stay green.
00:24:14Ma'am, your so-called scientific survival system, your so-called infuelable data from beginning to end was nothing but
00:24:20a complete joke. A sick, biased joke.
00:24:23You personally froze your honest daughter to death in that attic while treating a compulsive liar like treasure.
00:24:28Mom looked at the shattered plastic pieces on the ground, at the toy still glowing green, and suddenly, she laughed.
00:24:38She laughed loudly, so loudly that tears came out of her eyes.
00:24:43She doubled over, collapsing onto the floor, her whole body curling up with laughter.
00:24:52Fake. It's all fake.
00:24:55Mom suddenly screamed, and then she did something insane.
00:24:59No way! The bracelet can't be wrong. I didn't eat anything today. My calories couldn't possibly be over.
00:25:06It'll turn green.
00:25:07She grabbed the bracelet, still stained with my blood and fragments of skin, and snapped it onto her own wrist.
00:25:13She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She raised her wrist, her eyes wild.
00:25:19Look. It'll turn green.
00:25:21The red light flared, bright violent. Mom's confident expression shattered instantly.
00:25:26She slapped at the bracelet, like it was a broken television, panic rising in her voice.
00:25:31What? No! My calories can't be over! I didn't exceed anything! Why is it red? I didn't lie!
00:25:38She started speaking, faster and faster.
00:25:42It's broken! The doctor broke it! I'll try again! I've never abused her! I was doing it for her good!
00:25:47I love-
00:25:49Why is it red? I'm telling the truth! Turn green, you piece of junk! You're framing me!
00:25:54Suddenly, she remembered me, ten-year-old me, punished so severely, curled up on the floor, biting my lip to
00:26:01stop myself from screaming.
00:26:02But the red light kept flashing, as if it was speaking to her, again and again. You are a liar.
00:26:09You are a liar.
00:26:10No!
00:26:11Mom suddenly screamed, clawing frantically at the bracelet, trying to rip it off her wrist.
00:26:18Take it off! It's red! I'm not a liar! I'm not!
00:26:21But the clasp had locked due to her violent struggle, like a shackle, tightly bound to her wrist, just as
00:26:27it had once been tightly bound to mine.
00:26:31A doctor picked up the diary from the floor. He flipped through it, page by page, his expression growing darker
00:26:39and darker.
00:26:41February 14th. Day 7 of the blizzard. Mom found the chocolate missing. She said I stole it. I didn't. It
00:26:47was Anna who ate it.
00:26:48My bracelet turned red. Mom hit me, shocked me with the brazier. Mom locked me in the acnic. Dad took
00:26:54my bring-me-food...
00:26:55But Anna stopped him. Anna poured hot water onto my cardboard bed. I hit the floor and called for Mom.
00:26:59But she turned up the music so loud she couldn't hear me.
00:27:03When I was nine, Anna broke Mom's most precious tech robot and cried saying I didn't. Without even asking, Mom
00:27:11locked me in the storage room for a full day and night with no food or water.
00:27:15I banged on the door, crying that it wasn't me, but she wouldn't listen. And Anna, she was curled up
00:27:21in Mom's arms, eating sweet strawberries, watching me be locked away with a happy smile.
00:27:27Countless days and nights, Anna stole my toys, tore my drawings, ruined my homework, and then cried to Mom, saying
00:27:35I didn't.
00:27:35Every single time, Mom believed Anna without question, then scolded me, punished me, and made me stand in a cold
00:27:43corner without food.
00:27:45Machines don't lie. Anna's wristband is green. You're just a liar.
00:27:51Mom, I really didn't lie. I've never lied to you. I know you don't like me, but I still love
00:27:57you. If I die, will you regret it? Will you miss me even a little? If there's a next life,
00:28:04can you believe me once? Can you please stop calling me a liar?
00:28:10Every word struck like a heavy hammer, crashing down on my mom's heart. She covered her face and let out
00:28:17a heart-wrenching cry, like a wounded beast.
00:28:20She remembered the fourth day of the blizzard, the slap she gave me across the face, and the electric shock
00:28:26that coursed through my entire body.
00:28:30She remembered pulling the only blanket off me and wrapping it around Anna instead, and the despair in my eyes.
00:28:39She remembered me banging on the floor, screaming for her help, while she deliberately turned up Symphony of Fate to
00:28:46the maximum volume to block out her own ears.
00:28:49She remembered sealing the cracks of the attic door with tape, and the disgust and impatience she felt at the
00:28:55time.
00:28:57She had personally, little by little, pushed her daughter toward death. She had personally killed the little girl who loved
00:29:04her most, and trusted her most.
00:29:10Mom let out a piercing scream, and suddenly raised her head, looking toward Anna curled up in the corner.
00:29:17It's you! It's all you!
00:29:20She lunged forward like a mad woman, tightly gripping Anna's throat, screaming hysterically.
00:29:27You're the one who lied. You're the one who stole the chocolate! You tricked me! You killed Chloe! I'm going
00:29:35to kill you! You'll pay for my daughter's life!
00:29:42The rescue staff and doctors rushed in and pulled Mom away, pinning her firmly down on the sofa.
00:29:50My dad watched everything, the crazed mother, the terrified Anna, and the bloodstained note in the evidence bag, and finally
00:29:59snapped.
00:30:02You monster! That was your daughter, our daughter! You froze her to death with your own hands! How dare you!
00:30:12How could you?!
00:30:15It's not my fault. It was the wristband. It was Anna. It's not my fault.
00:30:23My body was placed into a black body bag. The zipper slowly closed, sealing away my short ten years of
00:30:30life filled with pain and despair.
00:30:32Don't take her away! Give her river back to me!
00:30:35She ran across the snowfield, her bare feet stepping onto sharp ice shards, instantly cutting her skin.
00:30:41Blood trailed across the white snow, leaving a shocking red path behind her.
00:30:46Chloe, Mom will give you all the food rations. Please, open your eyes and look at me!
00:30:52She reached the landing gear area, desperately jumping upward, trying to grab hold of the edge of the body bag,
00:30:59but she only grasped empty, freezing air, and swirling snowflakes.
00:31:05This incident quickly spread across the world. The rescue team's camera had recorded everything.
00:31:12One of the crew members accidentally uploaded the footage online, and from there, it spread like an unstoppable avalanche.
00:31:27The entire internet exploded. Netizens were in full outrage.
00:31:41And that father too. He did nothing the entire time. Just watched his daughter being abused. He deserves to die
00:31:47as well.
00:31:48A flood of insults poured in like an avalanche, crashing down on my mom, my dad, and this shattered family.
00:31:55On the second day after the incident escalated, our villa at the foot of the mountain was completely surrounded by
00:32:01an enraged crowd.
00:32:02The front gate had been splashed with bright red paint. In thick black marker, the words murderers, get out of
00:32:09this city, and justice for Chloe were written everywhere.
00:32:13The villa windows had been smashed with bricks. Red paint and abusive slogans covered the walls and floors.
00:32:20At the entrance, reporters and furious protestors packed tightly together. Behind them, the crowd held signs filled with insults, chanting
00:32:30loudly until the noise shook the air.
00:32:32Grace, the murderer, get out! You don't deserve to be a mother! Pay for Chloe's life!
00:32:37Evil family, get out of Switzerland!
00:32:40Neighbors had already moved out one after another. The property management even came with legal notices, demanding we leave immediately.
00:32:48Saying our presence had severely damaged neighborhood safety and property values, and caused extreme disturbance to other residents.
00:32:55Inside the villa, everything was in chaos. The curtains were tightly drawn, the lights stayed off, only the glow of
00:33:00the television illuminated the pale faces of my dad and my mom.
00:33:04The house phone had been completely overwhelmed. Every call that came through brought waves of insults and curses. Even the
00:33:10mobile phones couldn't be turned on.
00:33:11The moment they were switched on, countless abusive messages and non-stop harassing calls flooded in.
00:33:17It's not my fault. It's not my fault.
00:33:27I'm gonna kill you.
00:33:28I'm gonna kill you.
00:33:30It's all your fault! All of it!
00:33:32If it weren't for that damn bracelet of yours, if you hadn't trusted those useless data readings, Chloe wouldn't be
00:33:37dead!
00:33:38We wouldn't have ended up like this! You're a mad woman! A murderer!
00:33:45What right do you have to blame me? You were there to save her! You're an accomplice! You deserve to
00:33:50die too!
00:33:50I'm gonna kill you!
00:33:57You're了...
00:33:57No!
00:33:59No!
00:34:07I'm gonna kill you!
00:34:09No!
00:34:10No!
00:34:10No, no!
00:34:11No!
00:34:12No, no!
00:34:14No!
00:34:15No!
00:34:18No!
00:34:19No!
00:34:20No, no!
00:34:20No, no!
00:34:20Mom and dad had no choice but to sell the house, the car, and everything valuable in the home to
00:34:26cover legal fees and compensation.
00:34:42How dare you!
00:34:47Stop!
00:34:57Don't touch my things! Those are mine! Give them back!
00:35:05These items have been seized and auctioned by the court. They no longer belong to you.
00:35:23If you fail to repay the debt, we will file for court enforcement and have you imprisoned it.
00:35:27I will be able to pay more for eight years.
00:35:41I am a man.
00:35:43I am a man.
00:35:45I am a man.
00:35:45I am a man.
00:35:47I am a man.
00:35:47I am a man.
00:35:50I am a man.
00:36:06Anna, look at Anna.
00:36:09It's not fair.
00:36:45Didn't you love lying?
00:36:46It wasn't me.
00:36:47I didn't kill my sister.
00:36:49Didn't you have that bracelet with the always green signal?
00:36:51Why doesn't anyone believe you now?
00:36:53You deserve it.
00:36:54This is what you get for what you did to your sister.
00:36:55Liar.
00:36:56Thief.
00:36:57Murderer.
00:36:58Why don't they bully anyone else?
00:36:59Just you.
00:37:01Maybe you should reflect on yourself.
00:37:03When you harmed your sister, when you harmed your...
00:37:05Did you ever think this day would come?
00:37:14Let me out.
00:37:15Please let me out.
00:37:16I didn't steal it.
00:37:17I really didn't.
00:37:25I'm sorry.
00:37:26Sometimes she must havethat.
00:37:36Take care.
00:37:36It's better, because of my dad.
00:37:42You took me!
00:37:47It's better than me.
00:37:49I wanted to crack enterprise, though.
00:37:50It's better than me and my dad.
00:37:51So I was prepared to record in all the episodes.
00:37:52I said, I stood there and found them.
00:37:53It was very good.
00:37:53Time to invoke me right now.
00:37:58this was her rightful punishment
00:38:03as for mom her fate was even more tragic than anyone else's the defendant should undergo a
00:38:10forensic psychiatric evaluation i'm not crazy everything i do is based on the data from the
00:38:17scientific wristband i didn't do anything wrong can you explain the behavior at that time

00:39:39restraint straps the moment mom saw them she reacted like a startled beast she kept retreating
00:39:46then suddenly tried to run toward dad's direction as if hoping he would save her but dad had long
00:39:53since disappeared in the courtroom there was not a single person on her side
00:40:01in that moment she was truly alone just like i once was trapped in the attic with no one to
00:40:09turn to
00:40:12before being sent to the psychiatric hospital she did something insane

00:41:17no one knew where she got it from but she found a red plastic ring and wore it around her
00:41:22neck like

00:43:21only boundless freedom
00:43:23just then i heard a familiar bark
00:43:25i looked down
00:43:26a golden sled dog was sitting in the snow
00:43:29wagging its tail
00:43:30looking up at me with bright eyes
00:43:32it was buddy
00:43:32buddy was the dog i once raised
00:43:35a gift from dad on my eighth birthday
00:43:37a gentle golden retriever sled dog
00:43:40my only warmth in childhood
00:43:43when my mom called me a liar
00:43:45and anna bullied me
00:43:47only buddy would run over
00:43:49lie down by my feet
00:43:51and rub its head against my hand
00:43:55staying with me
00:43:56but mom didn't like it
00:43:58she said dogs carry germs
00:44:00and would affect her research
00:44:01before we came to the snowy mountains for vacation
00:44:04she took advantage of a moment
00:44:06when i wasn't paying attention
00:44:07and abandoned bunny in the mountains
00:44:09bunny
00:44:11bunny
00:44:15i cried for days and searched for days
00:44:18but i never found him
00:44:19it turns out he had always been here
00:44:22waiting for me at the border
00:44:30let's go
00:44:31don't look back
00:44:32i could feel his soft
00:44:34warm fur

00:44:38this was the living
00:44:39breathing connection
00:44:41i had longed for most
00:44:42when i was alive
00:44:47in the distance
00:44:48a door of light appeared
00:44:49it was the entrance
00:44:50to the next cycle
00:44:52of reincarnation
00:44:53i turned back and took one last look at this world that had tormented me for ten years
00:44:58one look in the direction of the psychiatric hospital
00:45:01and one look at the wooden cabin that had trapped me
00:45:04then i turned around
00:45:05holding buddy's paw
00:45:07and walked step by step toward that door of light
00:45:10everything behind me became like a faded photograph
00:45:13slowly blurring and dissolving
00:45:16my mother's final tears
00:45:17the bracelet's red glow
00:45:19the blood written message on the floor
00:45:21the freezing attic
00:45:22all of it vanished
00:45:24i did not look back
00:45:25the nightmare that had lasted wood for ten years
00:45:28had finally come to a true end
00:45:31passing through that light
00:45:32there was no spinning
00:45:33no chaos
00:45:34only endless warmth
00:45:35as if i were sinking into a spring stream
00:45:37even the pain deep within my soul
00:45:40those lingering aches and phantom pains
00:45:42gradually faded away
00:45:44buddy's paw in my hand was warm and gentle
00:45:46when i opened my eyes again
00:45:48i was small
00:45:49wrapped in a soft blanket
00:45:51someone was humming

00:48:41it's okay now
00:48:43you're home
00:48:45mom and dad are here
00:48:46no one can hurt you anymore
00:48:48from that day on
00:48:50they regularly took me to see a child psychologist
00:48:54the doctor said i had severe post-traumatic stress disorder
00:48:58my parents never complained once
00:49:02they never made me feel like a burden
00:49:04they stayed with me
00:49:06played games with me
00:49:07did therapy exercises with me
00:49:09slowly healing the wounds in my heart
00:49:12they bought me many many colorful beautiful bracelets
00:49:17but they never forced me to wear any of them
00:49:22these are just accessories charlotte
00:49:24wear them if you like
00:49:25if you don't just take them off
00:49:26no matter what
00:49:27your dad and i will always love you
00:49:28i looked at the sparkling bracelet on my wrist
00:49:30there was no red light
00:49:31no electric shock
00:49:32no accusation
00:49:33only my mother's gentle smile
00:49:35it took me two lifetimes to finally hear those words
00:49:37when i was five years old
00:49:39i once had a fever
00:49:42i started crying uncontrollably
00:49:44i feel hot
00:49:45it wasn't because i felt unwell
00:49:47it was because what i said
00:49:49mom immediately took a thermometer
00:49:51and checked my temperature
00:50:00mom if i say i feel hot
00:50:03do you believe me
00:50:07i believe you
00:50:08if you say you're hot then you're hot
00:50:11the thermometer says you're hot too
00:50:13of course i believe you
00:50:14what if the thermometer didn't say i was hot
00:50:17but i said i was
00:50:18would you still believe me
00:50:19i would
00:50:20your feelings are your own
00:50:22they don't need any machine to prove them
00:50:25i held on to those words in my heart
00:50:27for a long long time
00:50:29the afternoon i had a fever
00:50:31it started snowing outside
00:50:33dad wrapped me in a blanket
00:50:35and held me by the window
00:50:36as we watched the snow
00:50:38mom loved snowy days the most
00:50:40when i was a child
00:50:41building snowmen with my brother
00:50:43once i had placed the snowman's nose
00:50:45where its eyes should be
00:50:50why
00:50:51it was so the snowman
00:50:53could look down at its own feet
00:50:54otherwise it would never know
00:50:56what it was wearing
00:50:58i was wrapped in that blanket
00:51:00simply because they wanted me
00:51:01to feel warm
00:51:02so they wrapped me up in it
00:51:04it was soft thick and warm
00:51:06i buried my face in it
00:51:07and took a breath
00:51:08it smelled like fabric softener
00:51:10clean dry and unmistakably
00:51:13the scent of home
00:51:14when i was seven
00:51:15i started elementary school
00:51:17there was a girl in my class
00:51:18named lena
00:51:19she looked exactly like anna
00:51:21from my previous life
00:51:22the same eyes
00:51:23the same face shape
00:51:29sister
00:51:30you're so pitiful
00:51:36i'm
00:51:37my name is lena
00:51:39you
00:51:39do you want to be my friend
00:51:42her tone was so cautious
00:51:44so eager to please
00:51:45just like me in my previous life
00:51:47almost instinctively
00:51:49i glanced at her wrist
00:51:50she was wearing a cheap
00:51:52green cartoon wristband
00:51:53later i learned that lena's mother
00:51:56was also extremely strict
00:51:57she demanded absolute obedience
00:51:59and absolute honesty
00:52:01if lena made even the smallest mistake
00:52:03she would be locked in her room
00:52:05and denied food
00:52:06lena
00:52:07just like my past self
00:52:08lived in endless fear and suppression
00:52:10one day lena accidentally
00:52:11broke the teacher's glass cup
00:52:13i looked at her
00:52:19at the fear and despair in her eyes
00:52:21in that instant
00:52:22i was reminded of my past self
00:52:24the little girl who lay on the cold floor
00:52:27writing i am a liar
00:52:28over and over again
00:52:29begging for forgiveness
00:52:30again and again
00:52:34lena it's okay
00:52:35accidents happen
00:52:36let's go tell the teacher together
00:52:38okay
00:52:38the teacher won't be angry
00:52:41but mom said that children who lie
00:52:44are bad kids
00:52:45and they will be punished
00:52:46being honest doesn't mean
00:52:48you never make mistakes
00:52:49it means that when you do make a mistake
00:52:51you're brave enough to admit it
00:52:52and even if you tell the truth
00:52:53you shouldn't be punished for it
00:52:56i i broke the cup
00:52:57i'm sorry
00:52:59the teacher didn't get angry
00:53:01instead she smiled
00:53:03patted both our heads
00:53:04and said it was okay
00:53:05just to be more careful next time
00:53:08from that day on
00:53:09we became best friends
00:53:11i took lena home
00:53:12to meet my parents
00:53:14she looked at my mom and dad
00:53:16so gentle
00:53:17so patient
00:53:18never shouting over small things
00:53:20never punishing a child
00:53:21for making mistakes
00:53:22her eyes were filled with envy
00:53:25lena you don't need to please everyone
00:53:27you're allowed to have your own feelings
00:53:29you can say no
00:53:30you can be scared
00:53:31you can make mistakes
00:53:32none of that is shameful
00:53:34one day lena's mother came to school to pick her up
00:53:37when she saw us together
00:53:38her face immediately darkened
00:53:40she grabbed lena's hand tightly
00:53:42and said sharply
00:53:43did you cause trouble again
00:53:44is charlotte helping you lie
00:53:49auntie
00:53:50lena hasn't done anything wrong
00:53:52she's a very very good child
00:53:54you shouldn't always assume the worst about her
00:53:56she's afraid of you
00:54:01that night she called my mom
00:54:03they talked for a long time
00:54:04and in the end she said thank you
00:54:08thank you
00:54:09your daughter made me realize
00:54:11how terribly wrong i've been
00:54:13little by little
00:54:15lena's mother became gentler
00:54:17she started learning to listen
00:54:19instead of shouting
00:54:20to trust
00:54:21instead of blaming
00:54:22and lena
00:54:24too
00:54:25became more and more confident
00:54:27more and more open
00:54:29in my previous life
00:54:30i was never saved
00:54:31i endured all the pain alone
00:54:33in the darkness
00:54:33but in this life
00:54:34i can save others
00:54:36when i was 10 years old
00:54:38dad took us to the mountains
00:54:40not the alps
00:54:41just ordinary mountains
00:54:43dad was the captain of a mountain rescue team
00:54:46he knew every path in the area
00:54:47knew where the hidden ice was
00:54:49which slopes were dangerous
00:54:50where you could set up camp
00:54:51and where rocklops might happen after rain
00:54:53he led me along an easier trail
00:54:55mom walked behind us
00:54:56camera in hand
00:54:57taking photos from time to time
00:55:03here
00:55:04dad have you ever seen people trapped in snowy mountains
00:55:10yes
00:55:12many times
00:55:14what happened to them in the end
00:55:19some were rescued
00:55:21some weren't
00:55:22the ones who weren't rescued
00:55:27do you still remember them
00:55:28i remember
00:55:29every single one
00:55:32do you know why i chose this job
00:55:35no
00:55:35because i hope that after every snowstorm
00:55:38no one is left alone in the mountains
00:55:40for everyone who gets trapped
00:55:42i hope someone can reach them in time
00:55:44the wind blew down from the mountain
00:55:46carrying the scent of pine trees
00:55:47and a faint coolness from the distant stream
00:55:49but it wasn't the kind of cold that selt into your bones
00:55:53it was breathable
00:55:54refreshing
00:55:55alive
00:55:55a summer kind of cool
00:55:57the coolness of being alive
00:56:02look
00:56:06i stared at that photo for a long time
00:56:08that child was me
00:56:10clean
00:56:10looking outward
00:56:11alive
00:56:12not chloe curled up in the corner of an attic
00:56:15in my previous life
00:56:16that was charlotte
00:56:17standing in the sunlight
00:56:18standing between dad and mom
00:56:19at that moment
00:56:20i remembered the lines in my drawing book
00:56:22i remembered the hands that wrote them
00:56:25i remembered the child
00:56:27who use up her last bit of strength
00:56:29just say
00:56:29i love you so much
00:56:32you don't need a wristband to prove that what you say is true
00:56:35there are people here who believe you
00:56:37even without a wristband
00:56:38even without any device to verify it
00:56:40even if what you say sounds impossible
00:56:42there will still be someone who will catch every word you say
00:56:45there are people here who believe you
00:56:47hey
00:56:50in autumn
00:56:51one of dad's old rescue teammates came to visit
00:56:54bringing his wife
00:56:55and an elderly woman
00:56:56when with them
00:56:57she was his mother
00:56:58even though time had carved deep marks into her face
00:57:01even though it shed the obsession and madness of my previous life
00:57:04even though the eyes that once belonged to a scientist
00:57:07no longer held that burning fanaticism
00:57:09only gentleness and the weight of years
00:57:11i would never mistake her
00:57:12this was grace
00:57:22charlotte
00:57:22what's wrong sweetheart
00:57:25are you feeling unwell
00:57:27at that moment
00:57:28the old woman's gaze also fell on me
00:57:30her originally gentle eyes froze the instant she saw me
00:57:42this is
00:57:44your child
00:57:46yes this is our daughter
00:57:48charlotte
00:57:50i could clearly see the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes
00:57:54the white strands at her thames
00:57:57and the tears pooling in her eyes
00:57:59held back so tightly that they refused to fall
00:58:04charlotte
00:58:05such a beautiful name

00:58:10as if something was stuck there

00:58:15i am charlotte
00:58:17the charlotte who had grown up wrapped in love
00:58:19seeing that i remained silent

00:58:55i looked at the pile of food in my bowl
00:58:58my emotions tangled and heavy
00:59:01in my previous life
00:59:02until the day i died
00:59:04i had always hoped
00:59:05just once
00:59:06that she would serve me a bite of food

01:00:17the way you curled up on the floor begging me to stop
01:00:21i remember locking you in the attic
01:00:25the way you clung to the door frame
01:00:27begging me not to lock it
01:00:30i remember kicking open the attic door
01:00:34and finding your frozen body
01:00:37and the red light still flashing on your wrist
01:00:41i saw your blood
01:00:43written letter
01:00:44every single word
01:00:46i carved into my heart
01:00:48and carried with me
01:00:49for the rest of my life

01:01:02i destroyed it with my own hands
01:01:04i'm sorry
01:01:06it was a diary
01:01:07with a sunflower on the cover
01:01:09the flower i had loved most in my previous life

01:01:34i just wanted to tell you sorry in person
01:01:37i just want you to know that i understand now
01:01:39love is not measured by machines
01:01:41nor judged by data
01:01:42it is listening to you
01:01:44believing what you say
01:01:45holding you and telling you that your mother is here
01:01:47but i understood all of that far too late
01:01:49too late
01:01:50i'm so sorry charlotte
01:01:52she was crying so hard that her whole body trembled
01:01:56her aged face was covered in tears and regret
01:02:01i looked at her for a long time in my previous life lying on the cold floor of the attic
01:02:08what i had wanted most before dying was a single apology from her
01:02:12a single i believe you
01:02:15but now she was truly standing in front of me saying countless apologies and yet i realized they no longer
01:02:21mattered to me
01:02:22i already had a new life
01:02:24i already had a new life parents who loved me a warm home and a bright future
01:02:28auntie
01:02:29i don't hate you anymore
01:02:30her tears fell even harder
01:02:32her lips trembled as if she wanted to say something but no words came out
01:02:36but i also won't call you mom again
01:02:38the me i am now what is charlotte

01:02:49i don't want to spend my entire life living inside that snowy mountain nightmare
01:02:53but i also won't forgive you
01:02:55not because of hatred but because what happened does not deserve forgiveness
01:03:00after hearing my words her body swayed
01:03:03she covered her face and let out a broken desperate sob
01:03:08she knew i was right
01:03:11it was too late
01:03:12everything was too late
01:03:14when she locked me in the attic and let me freeze to death
01:03:17where was her remorse then
01:03:19when i kept calling her mom
01:03:21over and over telling her i wasn't lying
01:03:23where was her remorse then
01:03:25when i used my last strength to write a blood letter
01:03:29begging her to believe me just once
01:03:32where was her remorse then
01:03:35now it was all too late
01:03:37that afternoon
01:03:38when jason's family prepared to leave
01:03:41the old woman walked at the very end
01:03:43at the doorway she turned back to look at me once more
01:03:46her eyes were full of tears reluctance and endless loneliness
01:03:49then leaning on her cane she walked away slowly
01:03:52step by step
01:03:53i stood at the door watching her aged hunched body disappear down the street
01:03:56and in my heart
01:03:57there was no ripple at all
01:03:59mom walked over and gently hugged me from behind
01:04:02she didn't ask what had happened
01:04:04she simply patted my head softly
01:04:06no matter what happens your dad and i are here for you
01:04:12that night i lay in bed with steady breathing
01:04:14occasionally shifting as i chased something in my dreams
01:04:18i stared at the ceiling thinking of my previous life
01:04:23chloe
01:04:24chloe
01:04:25they were real
01:04:27the pain was real

01:04:33but i am no longer chloe
01:04:37i am charlotte

01:04:40that winter

01:04:45a family of three had been trapped near the three thousand meter snow line
01:04:50and they were all rescued safely
01:04:52no one was injured
01:04:54during the celebration
01:04:56the entire team was eating in the cafeteria
01:04:59mom sat in a corner smiling as she watched him
01:05:01i sat beside mom
01:05:03eating and listening to their stories
01:05:05they talked about the child from that stranded family
01:05:08a boy
01:05:09eight years old
01:05:10when they found him
01:05:11he was curled up in a hollow
01:05:13facing away from the wind
01:05:15his head wrapped tightly in his clothes
01:05:17he knew how to preserve body heat
01:05:20he lasted much longer than we expected
01:05:23after being rescued
01:05:24the first thing the boy asked was
01:05:28where is my mom
01:05:29mom is here
01:05:31that boy's mother is here
01:05:33my mother is here too
