00:00:00My stepsister falsely accuses me of causing her allergies to act up.
00:00:04My three brothers stuff me into the cramped cellar and chain the door shut.
00:00:08I pound on the door and beg them to let me out.
00:00:12It's bad enough that you keep bullying Lori.
00:00:14How could you make her eat seafood when you know she's allergic to it?
00:00:18Isn't that just murder?
00:00:20Stay in there and reflect on your mistakes.
00:00:22My second brother, an award-winning singer,
00:00:24and my third brother, a genius painter, scoff contemptuously.
00:00:28It's unbelievable that someone as evil as you is making excuses to garner pity.
00:00:34You can stay in there and repent for your sins.
00:00:36After that, they take our sugaring stepsister to the hospital.
00:00:41The oxygen in the cellar soon runs out and it gets difficult to breathe.
00:00:48Ultimately, I die in there.
00:00:50My brothers only remember me three days later
00:00:53when they bring our stepsister back from the hospital.
00:00:56Unbeknownst to them,
00:00:58I've already died of a sick viciation.
00:01:02I didn't even have time to react.
00:01:04One second I was in the kitchen,
00:01:06holding a freshly washed bowl.
00:01:09The next second,
00:01:10Ian's hand clamped around my wrist so tightly
00:01:12it felt like he would crush my bones.
00:01:15Big...
00:01:16Big brother!
00:01:17I looked up and saw his face.
00:01:19That face was cold as ice.
00:01:22It wasn't the coldness he showed during business negotiations.
00:01:25It was something far more terrifying,
00:01:28like looking at a stranger.
00:01:29No,
00:01:30like looking at an enemy.
00:01:32Don't call me big brother.
00:01:34You don't deserve to.
00:01:36He grabbed my shoulder from the other side,
00:01:38his fingers digging deep into my flesh.
00:01:40His eyes were red,
00:01:42not from crying,
00:01:43but from rage.
00:01:45Second brother?
00:01:46I turned to look at him.
00:01:47Shut up!
00:01:48Everything that comes out of your mouth makes me sick.
00:01:51Harry stood in front of me,
00:01:52blocking my way.
00:01:53He was holding a rope,
00:01:55one taken from the garden clothesline.
00:01:56His expression was complicated,
00:01:59anger,
00:01:59disappointment,
00:02:00and mostly disgust.
00:02:02Third brother?
00:02:03Don't call me third brother.
00:02:05Harry wrapped the rope around my hands.
00:02:07Once,
00:02:08twice.
00:02:09I don't have a sister like you.
00:02:11I struggled desperately.
00:02:13I really didn't hurt Lorena!
00:02:16She was the one who told me to add that seasoning!
00:02:19Enough!
00:02:19Ian shoved me hard toward the end of the corridor.
00:02:22That direction led to the cellar.
00:02:25Big brother,
00:02:26I'm begging you.
00:02:29I really didn't know that seasoning contained seafood.
00:02:33You didn't know.
00:02:35Will pushed me from behind.
00:02:36I stumbled and nearly fell.
00:02:39Lorela is allergic to seafood.
00:02:40Everyone in this family knows that.
00:02:42You did it on purpose.
00:02:44I didn't!
00:02:45You did.
00:02:46You're jealous of Lorela.
00:02:48So you wanted to kill her.
00:02:50I was pushed to the cellar door.
00:02:53The door was made of iron,
00:02:55covered in rust.
00:02:56Big brother,
00:02:58please!
00:02:58Ian pulled the girl.
00:03:00A damp,
00:03:01moldy smell
00:03:02rushed out from the cellar.
00:03:04Get in.
00:03:05I looked inside.
00:03:06It was pitch black.
00:03:08The air was cold and wet.
00:03:10I stepped back.
00:03:12Will gave me a hard push from behind.
00:03:15I fell into the cellar.
00:03:16My knees hit the ground hard.
00:03:18No!
00:03:19Big brother,
00:03:20please!
00:03:21I threw myself against the door,
00:03:24pounding desperately.
00:03:25Let me out!
00:03:26I really didn't know!
00:03:29I swear!
00:03:32The sound of chains rattling came from outside.
00:03:35Third brother!
00:03:36Third brother loves me the most.
00:03:39Please tell them to let me out!
00:03:41Love you?
00:03:43When you tried to hurt Lorena,
00:03:45did you ever think about whether she was in pain?
00:03:47The sound of chains wrapping grew denser.
00:03:50Second brother,
00:03:51I wrote a new song for you a few days ago.
00:03:53It's on your piano.
00:03:54I don't need it.
00:03:56Anything you write,
00:03:57I will never use again.
00:03:59There was a heavy thud,
00:04:01here removing a heavy object to block the door.
00:04:03My world went completely dark.
00:04:05My vision began to blur.
00:04:07I curled up behind the door,
00:04:09pressing my face against the cold iron.
00:04:13Big brother.
00:04:15Second brother.
00:04:16Third brother.
00:04:17I don't know exactly when I died.
00:04:21I only remember my last thought was,
00:04:24if there is a next life,
00:04:25I don't want to be anyone's sister again.
00:04:30I died in a cellar due to asphyxiation.
00:04:34By the time I woke up again,
00:04:35I found that my soul had reappeared next to my three older brothers.
00:04:40The three of them had just returned to our huge villa.
00:04:43The eldest, Ian Haldeman,
00:04:45and the second eldest, Will Haldeman,
00:04:47were holding our stepsister, Lorelai Surridge's hands.
00:04:51In a kind voice, one of my brothers began,
00:04:53Thank goodness we got you to the hospital just in time.
00:04:57Otherwise, it might take you a longer time to recover.
00:04:59Harry Haldeman, my third eldest brother,
00:05:02sounded really concerned.
00:05:03The doctor has said that you're still weak.
00:05:05You need to gain more nutrients by having nutritious meals.
00:05:09He scooped a big piece of meat onto Lorelai's plate while saying that.
00:05:13A maid standing at the side could no longer bring herself to stay silent.
00:05:17Mr. Ian.
00:05:19Ms. Rebecca has been locked inside the cellar for three days now.
00:05:23She hasn't made any noise for an extended period.
00:05:27Ian snorted and cut her off.
00:05:29We're celebrating Lorelai's discharge from the hospital today.
00:05:31Why are you bringing that girl up?
00:05:34The maid wanted to say something more,
00:05:36but she stopped upon receiving Wills and Harry's stony gazes.
00:05:40That awful wench must be aware that Lorelai has a seafood allergy.
00:05:43So, she purposely made that seafood porridge.
00:05:47I thought she was finally going to learn to accept Lorelai's presence now.
00:05:50It turned out she had come up with this nasty scheme.
00:05:54Lorelai adopted a fearful expression and said hesitantly,
00:05:58Rebecca was punished because of me.
00:06:00Wouldn't she be angry about having been locked inside the teller for so many days
00:06:04when we let her out later on?
00:06:06Ian had a frigid look on his face.
00:06:08Don't worry, Lore.
00:06:10It's our fault for spoiling her too much
00:06:12and not educating her properly in the past.
00:06:15She won't bully you anymore
00:06:17after we've punished her this time.
00:06:19He took his phone out reflexively
00:06:21and started refreshing the chat window with my name on it.
00:06:25However,
00:06:25only messages from three days ago
00:06:27and older
00:06:28were shown in our chat history.
00:06:31During the past three days,
00:06:32I had not sent Ian a message
00:06:34nor given him a call.
00:06:35His eyes burned with rage.
00:06:37That awful wench.
00:06:39It's been so many days
00:06:40and she hasn't even sent a message
00:06:42to ask about Lori's condition.
00:06:45Lorelai grasped Ian's hand,
00:06:47her voice thick with sobs.
00:06:48I don't want Rebecca to misunderstand me.
00:06:51I just wanted her company.
00:06:52I never meant to take anything away from her.
00:06:55Ian quickly set his phone aside
00:06:57and gently patted Lorelai's head.
00:07:00He replied,
00:07:01Lori,
00:07:01you are far too kind.
00:07:05Unlike Rebecca,
00:07:06she is utterly heartless and ungrateful.
00:07:09A cold glint flashed in Will's eyes
00:07:11as he thought of me.
00:07:12Exactly.
00:07:13She'd hurt her own family
00:07:14just to get more attention.
00:07:16It's absolutely malicious.
00:07:18Harry nodded in agreement,
00:07:19a sneer curling his lip.
00:07:21She's been locked in the cellar for three days now.
00:07:23If she still won't admit her mistake
00:07:25and get on her knees to apologize to Lori,
00:07:27I'm kicking her out of this house for good.
00:07:29Standing to the side,
00:07:31listening to my brother's words,
00:07:32I felt only the weight of the absurd.
00:07:35I opened my mouth to defend myself,
00:07:37but no sound came out,
00:07:39for I was already dead.
00:07:40Silent tears streamed down my ethereal cheeks,
00:07:43hitting the floor without leaving a trace.
00:07:45They couldn't see me crying,
00:07:46they couldn't see me trembling,
00:07:48and they certainly couldn't see
00:07:50that my heart had already been ground into dust.
00:07:52Our parents passed away from illness
00:07:54when I was very young.
00:07:55Back then,
00:07:56I didn't understand what death meant.
00:07:58I only knew that mom and dad
00:07:59were never coming back.
00:08:01I cried all night,
00:08:02and it was my brothers who took turns holding me,
00:08:05promising they would never leave me.
00:08:06From that moment on,
00:08:08my three brothers poured all their devotion into me.
00:08:11I thought that was forever.
00:08:12I thought they would always love me like that.
00:08:15I had only wanted a companion my own age.
00:08:17I was just so lonely.
00:08:19I just wanted the house to be filled with a little more laughter.
00:08:23I never imagined that this simple request
00:08:25would become the grave I dug for myself.
00:08:27And so,
00:08:28my brothers eventually found Lorelai at an orphanage
00:08:31to keep me company.
00:08:32I still remember the day she arrived timid,
00:08:35wearing a faded old dress,
00:08:37her eyes ringed with red.
00:08:39I took her hand and told her,
00:08:41Don't be afraid.
00:08:42From now on,
00:08:43this is your home,
00:08:44and I am your sister.
00:08:46By treating her like a sister,
00:08:48I had effectively handed her the dagger myself,
00:08:50allowing her to carve away my brother's blood for me,
00:08:53one piece at a time.
00:08:55I no longer remember what mom and dad looked like.
00:08:59I only remember mom smelled faintly sweet,
00:09:02like freshly baked cookies.
00:09:04Every time she hugged me,
00:09:05I would bury my face in her neck
00:09:07and breathe in deeply.
00:09:09I only remember dad had broad shoulders.
00:09:12Sitting on them made me feel so tall.
00:09:14He could lift me high above his head
00:09:16and spin me around until I laughed so hard I couldn't speak.
00:09:20The day they left,
00:09:22I didn't cry,
00:09:23not because I wasn't sad,
00:09:25but because I didn't understand
00:09:27what never coming back meant.
00:09:30I thought they were playing hide and seek with me
00:09:32and would come back to hug me soon.
00:09:34But that night,
00:09:35Ian held me and cried harder than I did.
00:09:38He was only 13 years old.
00:09:40Rebecca,
00:09:41mom and dad aren't coming back.
00:09:42He held me tightly,
00:09:44his voice breaking.
00:09:46From today on,
00:09:47big brother will take care of you.
00:09:49We'll sat by my bed,
00:09:50holding my hand,
00:09:51singing the lullaby mom used to sing
00:09:53while tears streamed down his face.
00:09:56He sang off-key,
00:09:57but I didn't say anything.
00:09:58Harry was only 8 then.
00:10:00He didn't know how to comfort anyone.
00:10:02He just stood at the door,
00:10:04holding a box of paints,
00:10:05and said something very childish.
00:10:07Rebecca,
00:10:08I'll use all my paints on you
00:10:10and draw a new mom for you,
00:10:13okay?
00:10:13That night,
00:10:15the three of them squeezed into my small bed.
00:10:17Ian held me,
00:10:18Will held my hand,
00:10:19and Harry curled up at the foot of the bed
00:10:21like a lost puppy.
00:10:23I didn't sleep at all,
00:10:25not because I was scared,
00:10:26but because I was afraid that if I fell asleep,
00:10:29they would disappear too.
00:10:31But I knew they were there,
00:10:32because all night long,
00:10:34Ian gently putted my back,
00:10:36just like mom used to do.
00:10:40Big brother is here.
00:10:42He kept repeating that sentence.
00:10:44Even when I grew up,
00:10:45they still protected me like that.
00:10:47Ian learned to cook
00:10:48because I didn't like the food the maids made.
00:10:50He cut his hands many times,
00:10:52but never let me know.
00:10:54He always let me taste the soup first,
00:10:57and asked,
00:10:58Does it taste good?
00:10:59I always said it was delicious,
00:11:01even when it was too salty,
00:11:03too bland,
00:11:04or even burnt,
00:11:05because it was made by my brother.
00:11:08Will would suddenly stop practicing songs
00:11:10late at night and come check on me.
00:11:12If I wasn't asleep,
00:11:13he would sit by my bed
00:11:15and sing his new songs to me.
00:11:17You're the first person to hear this song,
00:11:20little sister.
00:11:20I would always clap and say it was beautiful.
00:11:23Harry would show me his paintings one by one
00:11:25and let me choose my favorite,
00:11:27whichever one I liked.
00:11:28He would hang it in the most visible spot
00:11:30in the living room.
00:11:31Little sister's taste is the best.
00:11:33Those days,
00:11:34I thought it would never change.
00:11:35I thought my brothers would love me forever.
00:11:38But fate told me,
00:11:40nothing lasts forever.
00:11:42It was the third week after Lorelai came to our home.
00:11:45I still remember the sun was shining brightly that day.
00:11:48Lorelai took my hand and said,
00:11:50Sister, let's play together.
00:11:52I was very happy.
00:11:53I thought she was finally willing to accept me.
00:11:56She picked up a limited edition doll
00:11:58that Ian had brought back from abroad for me.
00:12:01I had never even opened it,
00:12:02but when Lorelai said she wanted to play with it,
00:12:05I gave it to her.
00:12:07Sister,
00:12:08this doll is so beautiful.
00:12:09I went to the kitchen to pour her some juice.
00:12:11When I came back,
00:12:13the doll was lying on the floor,
00:12:15smashed into pieces.
00:12:17Lorelai was squatting beside it,
00:12:19crying hysterically.
00:12:21Ian walked in at that moment.
00:12:24What happened?
00:12:25Lorelai threw herself into Ian's arms,
00:12:28sobbing.
00:12:28Sister said I didn't deserve to play with such an expensive toy.
00:12:34She...
00:12:35She smashed the doll.
00:12:37I didn't!
00:12:38Rebecca.
00:12:39Ian's voice turned cold.
00:12:41He looked at me with disappointment I had never seen before.
00:12:44This is your favorite doll.
00:12:45If you didn't want to let her play with it,
00:12:47you could have told me.
00:12:48Why did you smash it?
00:12:50Big brother, I didn't...
00:12:52Enough!
00:12:52Ian picked up Lorelai and left without looking back.
00:12:56Lorelai, don't cry.
00:12:58Big brother will buy you a new one.
00:13:00I stood there frozen,
00:13:01still holding the glass of juice.
00:13:04From that day on,
00:13:05Ian's eyes toward me carried something new.
00:13:08It wasn't hatred.
00:13:09It was disappointment.
00:13:11Something even more terrifying than hatred.
00:13:14It was the night before Will was supposed to release his new song.
00:13:18I knew he was under a lot of pressure.
00:13:20Several new songs had been rejected by the producers.
00:13:22I felt sorry for him.
00:13:24That night,
00:13:25I stayed up all night and finished the harmony for his unfinished tracks.
00:13:29I listened and revised them over and over until dawn.
00:13:32The next morning,
00:13:33I handed him the USB drive.
00:13:36Second brother,
00:13:37this is the harmony I fixed for you.
00:13:39See if it works.
00:13:41Will smiled rarely.
00:13:43Thank you,
00:13:44little sister.
00:13:45That afternoon,
00:13:47Will burst into my room,
00:13:49face red with fury.
00:13:50Rebecca!
00:13:52What did you do?
00:13:54W-what?
00:13:55All the files on the USB are gone.
00:13:57I have to submit the song tomorrow.
00:14:00Do you know that?
00:14:02That's impossible.
00:14:03I clearly-
00:14:04Enough!
00:14:05Will smashed the USB drive on the ground.
00:14:07The pieces scattered everywhere.
00:14:09You're jealous of Lorea.
00:14:12Jealous that mom and dad love her.
00:14:14So you deliberately ruined my song.
00:14:16Right?
00:14:18Lorelai stood at the door.
00:14:19Eyes red.
00:14:21Sister!
00:14:22I'm sorry.
00:14:24I shouldn't have told second brother,
00:14:26but you really shouldn't have deleted those files.
00:14:28I looked at her in shock.
00:14:30Later,
00:14:30I found out that while I was in the bathroom,
00:14:32Lorelai had formatted the USB drive
00:14:34and then told Will I had tampered with his computer.
00:14:37Will believed her.
00:14:39He always believed her.
00:14:42The limited edition paintbrush Harry loved most
00:14:45was something I spent three months of my allowance to buy from abroad.
00:14:49I knew Harry had been looking for it for a long time.
00:14:53I placed it on his desk with a note.
00:14:56Third brother always likes beautiful colors.
00:14:58This brush is for you.
00:15:00I hope you stay happy forever.
00:15:02The next day,
00:15:03Harry came to me with a dark face.
00:15:07Rebecca,
00:15:08why did you ruin my paintbrush?
00:15:10What?
00:15:11That limited edition brush.
00:15:13I searched for so long to get it.
00:15:16And you broke it.
00:15:19I didn't.
00:15:21That brush was bought by me.
00:15:23Enough!
00:15:24Harry threw the broken brush in front of me.
00:15:26Lorelai told me everything.
00:15:29She essa we ose nay in o my studio
00:15:31and deliberate tell snapped the tip.
00:15:33Lorelai stood at the door,
00:15:35head lowered.
00:15:36Sister,
00:15:37I know you wanted that brush too.
00:15:40But you shouldn't have broken it.
00:15:42That brush was a gift for you.
00:15:44I spent three months of allowance.
00:15:47What are you talking about?
00:15:48That was Lore bought it for me.
00:15:51She saved up for a long time.
00:15:53How long are you going to keep lying?
00:15:55Harry looked at me with disappointment
00:15:57for a whole month.
00:15:58During that month,
00:15:59he wouldn't sit with me at meals.
00:16:01Wouldn't ride in the same car.
00:16:03And wouldn't even look at me.
00:16:05And I never had a chance to explain.
00:16:09I drifted through the villa.
00:16:11No one could see me.
00:16:12No door could stop me.
00:16:14I passed through walls,
00:16:15stairs,
00:16:16and rooms I was once forbidden to enter.
00:16:19Finally,
00:16:20I returned to my own room.
00:16:22Nothing had changed.
00:16:24The old doll,
00:16:25Mom bought me,
00:16:26was still on the bed.
00:16:27My unfinished homework was still on the desk.
00:16:30And the calendar was still marked.
00:16:32It was Ian's birthday.
00:16:34I had planned a surprise for him.
00:16:36I sat on the bed,
00:16:37and reached out to touch the doll.
00:16:38My fingers passed right through it.
00:16:40I couldn't even touch a doll anymore.
00:16:42You know what?
00:16:43I used to be really afraid of dying.
00:16:45When Mom and Dad left,
00:16:47I was scared that if I died one day,
00:16:49my brothers would be sad.
00:16:51The doll remained silent.
00:16:53Now I know.
00:16:54They won't be sad.
00:16:56Because they won't even notice I'm gone.
00:16:58I smiled.
00:16:58My laughter was hollow,
00:17:00echoing in the empty room.
00:17:04I had treated Lorelai with nothing but sincerity
00:17:07ever since she came to our home.
00:17:09However,
00:17:10she lied to my brothers
00:17:11and slandered me time and time again,
00:17:13making my brothers grow distant from me gradually.
00:17:16It was the same at that time.
00:17:18My brothers locked me inside the tiny,
00:17:20narrow cellar
00:17:21without giving me a chance to explain myself.
00:17:23I pushed against the door
00:17:24with all my might,
00:17:25yet I could only feel the air inside the cellar,
00:17:28growing thin.
00:17:29I pounded on the cellar's door
00:17:30and begged my brothers desperately to let me out.
00:17:34Yet,
00:17:34my brothers scolded me expressionlessly instead.
00:17:37What are you shouting now for?
00:17:38You got what you deserved.
00:17:40If it weren't for what you did,
00:17:42Lori wouldn't have had to suffer
00:17:44from an allergic reaction.
00:17:45It's because we've been too nice to you
00:17:47that you keep bullying Lorena.
00:17:48You should stay in there
00:17:49and repent for your mistakes.
00:17:51Will tied the chains around the door herself,
00:17:54whereas Harry placed a heavy object
00:17:56to block the door.
00:17:57They removed the slightest bit of possibility
00:17:59I had at self-preservation.
00:18:01My dear brothers,
00:18:02please don't lock me in here.
00:18:04I'm the most obedient sister you could ever have.
00:18:07Ian's footstep paused,
00:18:08as if he had heard my desperate cry.
00:18:10A surge of joy rose in my heart.
00:18:13I pressed myself against the door,
00:18:15watching as Ian's hand reached toward the lock.
00:18:18Lorelai tugged Ian's sleeve and said pitifully,
00:18:21Don't be angry.
00:18:23Ian, it's my fault for being allergic to seafood.
00:18:26I'm sure Rebecca didn't do it on purpose.
00:18:29You shouldn't blame her anymore.
00:18:30Ian's expression grew even colder and harder.
00:18:33He lowered his hand.
00:18:35And at that same moment,
00:18:37my heart turned cold as well.
00:18:39He replied frigidly,
00:18:40We've been too lenient on that awful wench.
00:18:44That's why she's grown to be so rude and overbearing.
00:18:47Will's eyes blazed with anger.
00:18:48She's become more and more narrow-minded with age.
00:18:51If it weren't for her,
00:18:54Lori wouldn't have ended up looking like this.
00:18:57Lorelai purposely showed the brothers the part of her body
00:19:00where the symptoms of her allergic reaction had not gone away.
00:19:03There were still some red marks on her skin
00:19:06with a pained look in his eyes.
00:19:09Harry lightly caressed the part of her skin
00:19:10that had those faint red marks.
00:19:13Does it still hurt?
00:19:15Lori.
00:19:16Lorelai lowered her head.
00:19:18Her voice was shaking a lot
00:19:20as though she would burst into tears at any moment.
00:19:23It doesn't hurt.
00:19:25It doesn't hurt at all.
00:19:28Will's anger boiled over.
00:19:30He exploded.
00:19:31Lori's life might have been in jeopardy
00:19:33if we hadn't arrived at the hospital any later than we did.
00:19:36Yet, that girl hasn't sent a message to ask about her
00:19:39after so many days have passed.
00:19:40She hasn't shown any signs of repentance.
00:19:43Ian backed the question.
00:19:45Get that girl here to apologize to Lori right now.
00:19:47We'll see if she'll still stubbornly refuse to apologize to her.
00:19:50Will added.
00:19:51She's only been able to act stubbornly
00:19:53because she has our backing.
00:19:55Now that she's done something wrong,
00:19:57she has to be punished accordingly.
00:19:58Harry turned his eyes to the maid and barked.
00:20:01Why are you still standing there?
00:20:03Hurry and bring that wench here now!
00:20:06Also, bring us our whips.
00:20:08If it weren't because Rebecca added seafood into the porridge intentionally,
00:20:11Lori wouldn't have had to stay at the hospital for three days.
00:20:15It's time we teach her the proper marrows and etiquette a howden should have.
00:20:18The maid dared not defy my brother's orders.
00:20:21She hurried off to where I was confined right away.
00:20:24I let out a bitter chuckle.
00:20:26Ian and the others concluded
00:20:28that it was my fault without even investigating the incident.
00:20:32When I was dying,
00:20:33my last shred of consciousness remained on the cellar wall.
00:20:36I used my fingers to write on the wall.
00:20:39There was no light,
00:20:40so I couldn't see what I wrote.
00:20:42I just kept scratching over and over on the dusty surface.
00:20:46Brother.
00:20:48Brother.
00:20:49Brother.
00:20:49I wrote it many, many times.
00:20:52Even when my fingers were worn raw and bleeding,
00:20:54I didn't stop.
00:20:55It was as if writing those words would make them come.
00:20:58But no one came.
00:21:00I curled up in the corner,
00:21:02burying my face in my knees.
00:21:04No.
00:21:05I don't want to die.
00:21:07My voice was so small,
00:21:09it was almost inaudible.
00:21:11I'm still so young.
00:21:12I'm only 13.
00:21:14I haven't graduated yet.
00:21:15I haven't fallen in love yet.
00:21:17I haven't seen my brothers get married.
00:21:19I don't want to die yet.
00:21:21In the very end,
00:21:22I thought of Mom.
00:21:23When Mom passed away,
00:21:25did she feel the same?
00:21:26Surrounded by darkness,
00:21:27with no one to save her.
00:21:30Walking toward death,
00:21:31all alone.
00:21:34Mom.
00:21:35I opened my mouth,
00:21:36but the sound was so faint,
00:21:38even I could barely hear it.
00:21:39I'm coming to find you.
00:21:42Will you still recognize me?
00:21:44My hand dropped weakly.
00:21:46My breathing stopped.
00:21:47My heart beat stopped.
00:21:49But my eyes remained open.
00:21:51Open.
00:21:52Staring toward the direction of the cellar door.
00:21:55Toward the tiny gap.
00:21:57Until the very last second,
00:21:58I was still waiting.
00:22:00Waiting for that door to open.
00:22:02Waiting for my brothers to come save me.
00:22:05But the door never opened.
00:22:07No one came.
00:22:08My consciousness began to fade,
00:22:11like a lump slowly going out.
00:22:13Before the light completely extinguished,
00:22:15my final thought was,
00:22:17So this is what being forgotten feels like?
00:22:21Then, I felt nothing at all.
00:22:25Three days ago,
00:22:26Lorelai wanted to have some porridge.
00:22:29I offered to cook it for her,
00:22:30since I wanted to get on her good side.
00:22:32She gave me a packet of seasoning,
00:22:34and told me to add it to the porridge.
00:22:36I tasted the porridge when it was done,
00:22:39and it was just an ordinary seafood porridge.
00:22:42Yet, I did not expect that it would be an allergen for her.
00:22:46Ian, who was considered an elite in the business circle,
00:22:49could not even tell that this was Lorelai's trick to gain their favor.
00:22:52It just came to show how much he favored her over me,
00:22:56to Ian and the others.
00:22:58I would never be as important as Lorelai was in their hearts.
00:23:01I had this sad, hollow feeling in my chest.
00:23:05Anyhow, it did not matter anymore.
00:23:07I had died in that cellar.
00:23:09My brothers could now give Lorelai as much preferential treatment as they wanted.
00:23:14Mr. Ian!
00:23:17We called for Ms. Rebecca.
00:23:19However, she hasn't responded to us at all.
00:23:22We tried to listen from outside,
00:23:24and we couldn't hear any sound of her breathing.
00:23:27Ian knitted his brow and shot to his feet.
00:23:30His face darkened.
00:23:32What's she playing at this time?
00:23:33Does she think it's too humiliating for her to apologize to Laura?
00:23:36Does she even realize that she's nearly killed her this time?
00:23:40Lorelai tugged the hem of Ian's shirt lightly,
00:23:43and said dejectedly,
00:23:45It's all right.
00:23:46Ian, I'm just an orphan.
00:23:49I don't have the right to have Rebecca apologize to me.
00:23:52Ian Sanger flared up.
00:23:54He took a deep breath,
00:23:55clenching his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
00:23:59Does she really think I can't tell
00:24:01she's used that cheap trick to win our favor?
00:24:04She thinks she can pretend nothing's happened by staying silent.
00:24:09That's just her wishful thinking.
00:24:13I guess the punishment
00:24:16still isn't severe enough.
00:24:18Ian let out a cold, bitter laugh,
00:24:20his eyes narrowing as he thought of Rebecca hiding in the cellar like a coward.
00:24:24Let's go.
00:24:26She won't be able to avoid us if we drag her out of the teller.
00:24:29I want to see the look on her face when she has nowhere to run.
00:24:33We must get her to kneel and apologize to Lorelai.
00:24:39I had no control over my movements as my soul followed behind my three brothers.
00:24:45The hollow feeling in my chest intensified.
00:24:48My brothers stormed toward the cellar and arrived at the door fairly quickly.
00:24:52Rebecca Halden!
00:24:53Do you think you can avoid your punishment if you just keep quiet and hide in there?
00:24:58However, no sound came from inside the cellar afterward.
00:25:01Will's expression dockened.
00:25:02Rebecca, what tricks are you trying to pull this time?
00:25:06Come out and kneel before Lorelai so that you can apologize for what happened.
00:25:10Don't think you can deny having harmed Lorelai by hiding in there,
00:25:13turning off your phone,
00:25:14and not contacting us.
00:25:16Harry's eyes blazed with fury.
00:25:18He said angrily,
00:25:20You think you're all grown up now, huh?
00:25:22You're keeping quiet now because you're upset about us being nice to Lorelai.
00:25:25Am I right?
00:25:27Did you really think you could make us give in first if you hid inside the cellar and ignored us?
00:25:33Still, they did not hear any sound coming from inside the cellar.
00:25:37Ian directed his gaze to the maids, who were shaking as they stood at the side.
00:25:41He said in a monotonous voice,
00:25:43Why are you all shaking like that?
00:25:45Be honest.
00:25:46Did Rebecca bribe any of you?
00:25:48Did you guys secretly let her out of the cellar?
00:25:50Will gave a snot.
00:25:51With that nasty temper of hers,
00:25:53she probably had these maids let her out once we were gone,
00:25:56since she couldn't stand the environment in the cellar.
00:25:58Harry's eyes reflected his disappointment.
00:26:01You nearly had Lorelai killed,
00:26:03yet you wouldn't even admit to your mistakes.
00:26:06Are you still the Rebecca that I know?
00:26:08Do you honestly think you're the only sister we have?
00:26:11One of the maids began in a shaky voice.
00:26:14Mr. Ian,
00:26:15none of us would let Miss Rebecca out of the cellar without your permission.
00:26:19Miss Rebecca has really been locked inside the cellar for three days now.
00:26:24Harry cast a glance at the quiet cellar.
00:26:26A look of unease flashed in his eyes.
00:26:29He stepped forward and pulled on the cellar's door,
00:26:31forcefully.
00:26:32Rebecca, stop playing around.
00:26:34I've already unlocked the door.
00:26:36You're pulling on the door now because you don't want to come out, am I right?
00:26:41I smiled bitterly as I looked at the inside of the door,
00:26:44which was distorted.
00:26:45While I was suffocating inside the cellar,
00:26:48I tried ramming into the door over and over again out of a strong will to live.
00:26:53However, the door was exceptionally sturdy.
00:26:55I could not even make the door open for just a small crack.
00:26:59In the end, I died of suffocation inside.
00:27:02My dear brothers,
00:27:04when you found my body,
00:27:05could you show me just a tiny bit of your love
00:27:08and bury me next to our mom and dad?
00:27:10Harry got more and more agitated,
00:27:12and he started kicking the door heavily.
00:27:14The distorted door finally opened by a crack.
00:27:18An awful stench wafted up from the cellar.
00:27:21One of the maids trembled uncontrollably.
00:27:24It smells like the smell of a dead body!
00:27:26Ian and Will stormed toward the door.
00:27:29What do you mean by the smell of a dead body?
00:27:30She's clearly escaped the cellar
00:27:32and left a dead rat in there to scare us.
00:27:36Rebecca, do you think all of us are fools?
00:27:38All three of them were visibly annoyed and frustrated.
00:27:41They kicked the door almost simultaneously,
00:27:44causing it to shake by the mouth.
00:27:46With a loud thump,
00:27:47the door was kicked open this time.
00:27:49The rotten stench grew even more intense.
00:27:52Everyone finally had a view of the dark, narrow cellar.
00:27:57The light from outside streamed into the cellar,
00:28:01dispelling the darkness inside that space.
00:28:04I moved closer to look inside the cellar.
00:28:07My body was there.
00:28:08No!
00:28:09That's not me!
00:28:11Please don't look!
00:28:12The cellar was a closed space,
00:28:14and the temperature inside was just right.
00:28:16Even though I had only been dead for three days,
00:28:19my body seemed like I had probably died for more than ten days.
00:28:23The body was badly decomposed.
00:28:25A large amount of maggots had hatched from the eggs,
00:28:29and they could be seen writhing over the corpse.
00:28:32The complexion on my face had turned dark due to asphyxiation.
00:28:36After so many days of decomposition,
00:28:38it was impossible to tell that the corpse was me.
00:28:41Suddenly, I panicked.
00:28:43I did not want my brothers to see my body,
00:28:45which was in such a horrid state.
00:28:47I quickly moved to block their path.
00:28:50Big brothers, don't look at me like this!
00:28:53I don't want you to remember me this way!
00:28:56At the very least,
00:28:57I wanted to preserve my dignity in death.
00:29:00Unfortunately, my efforts were for naught.
00:29:06Yang's face turned pale
00:29:07as an uncomfortable silence fell over the room.
00:29:10He took a step backward anxiously.
00:29:13His leaps trembled uncontrollably.
00:29:15What?
00:29:15What is that thing?
00:29:17The overwhelming stench and horrible sight
00:29:19made Ian shrink back with disgust.
00:29:22Hurry and get rid of it!
00:29:23It's so disgusting!
00:29:25One of the maids was visibly shaken.
00:29:27Mr. Ian!
00:29:28That's Ms. Rebecca!
00:29:29It's Ms. Rebecca's corpse!
00:29:31Ian's tone was cold and stern.
00:29:34It's only been three days.
00:29:35There's no way her body would reach this level of decomposition
00:29:38if that were truly Rebecca's corpse.
00:29:41She can't fool me
00:29:42by putting a few dead rats in a heap
00:29:45and pretending it's her.
00:29:47She must have snuck out of the cellar
00:29:48without any of us noticing.
00:29:50Now, and there was no response.
00:29:52No matter how long we called out to her from outside.
00:29:56So, that's what happened.
00:29:58The maids who were about to say something
00:30:00kept silent after hearing Ian's angry remarks.
00:30:04Meanwhile, Will and Harry immediately stopped Lorelai
00:30:07who was trying to get a closer look.
00:30:09Don't go over there.
00:30:11Lori, there are only filthy things inside.
00:30:16The little hope that rose in my heart
00:30:18was instantly shattered when I saw my brother's reactions.
00:30:22My dead body lay right before their eyes
00:30:24yet they paid almost no attention to it.
00:30:28If they had just taken a good look at it
00:30:29they would surely recognize that the body was mine.
00:30:33Ian waved his hand dismissively
00:30:35and instructed the maids.
00:30:37Hurry up and get rid of this rotten thing.
00:30:39God knows if it may cause some sort of infectious disease.
00:30:42So disgusting.
00:30:43While the maids nodded in horror
00:30:45Ian led Lorelai away at once.
00:30:48Will and Harry looked in the cellar's direction with disgust.
00:30:52Then, they left the place as well.
00:30:54My soul followed behind my brother's automatically.
00:30:56Although, I was already dead.
00:30:59My heart was aching so much
00:31:01that I found it hard to breathe.
00:31:03The moments where they would not even spare my dead body a quick glance
00:31:06and just had the maids get rid of my body haphazardly in particular.
00:31:10It made me wonder
00:31:11how much my brothers must have hated me.
00:31:14I could not even have the right to be buried next to my parents' graves now.
00:31:18My brothers and Lorelai went back into the living room soon afterward.
00:31:22Before Lorelai could say anything pretentious,
00:31:26Ian hurried to make a phone call.
00:31:27Freeze all of the accounts tied to the bank cards Rebecca has.
00:31:30Also, I want a record of all of the transactions she's made recently.
00:31:34Have some men check all of the old properties under my parents' names as well.
00:31:38I want to know where she has been
00:31:39and what she has spent on for the past three days.
00:31:42Ian hung up right after giving those orders in a monotonous voice.
00:31:45Once he obtained the records,
00:31:48Ian could figure out where I had been for the past three days.
00:31:52After that, he was going to give me an earful and punish me.
00:31:56I snickered.
00:31:57Perhaps Ian had already forgotten
00:31:59how his company almost went bankrupt
00:32:01because of a mistake he made in the decision-making process.
00:32:05Many of their shareholders decided to pull back their funds back then.
00:32:10With Ian having no one else to turn to,
00:32:12I decided to invest all of my money in his company to help revive the business.
00:32:18The money I invested consisted of all the money I received from my brothers
00:32:22and the properties my parents had left behind for me.
00:32:25Other than having the status of a Haldeman,
00:32:28I no longer had much money in my savings.
00:32:31Will looked at the empty living room and scoffed.
00:32:34Rebecca's just too much.
00:32:35While we were busy looking after Lori,
00:32:37she was not repenting inside the cellar.
00:32:40Instead, she was out there having fun.
00:32:42I'm going to check with people at the studios.
00:32:44Hopefully they didn't take her in because of me.
00:32:47Harry had a grim expression on his face.
00:32:49I own several art studios.
00:32:51She might be hiding in one of them.
00:32:53Ian snorted.
00:32:54Let's see how much longer she can hide from us.
00:32:57We need to find her and have her apologize to Laura.
00:33:00Will and Harry left right away.
00:33:02Curiously, my soul remained busy to Ian.
00:33:06Perhaps it was because he was located the nearest to my body.
00:33:10Envy flashed in Lorelai's eyes
00:33:12as she watched Will and Harry walk out of the room.
00:33:15She buried her face in Ian's chest.
00:33:18Rebecca probably thinks that I'm still not good enough to be your sister.
00:33:21Maybe I should leave for now and come back
00:33:24when I can proudly call myself your sister.
00:33:27That way, Rebecca won't bully me anymore.
00:33:29Right?
00:33:30As she finished saying that,
00:33:32tears rolled down her face and fell onto Ian's hand.
00:33:35Ian wiped off Lorelai's tears gently.
00:33:38His voice rang with concern and affection.
00:33:41Don't worry.
00:33:42Lori, once we find her,
00:33:44we'll make her kneel and apologize to you.
00:33:48From now on,
00:33:49she won't be able to bully you since you have us.
00:33:52Lorelai leaned against Ian's chest.
00:33:54For a moment,
00:33:55she had a sly,
00:33:57contemptuous look in her eyes.
00:33:59I was so annoyed looking at how fake Lorelai was that I tried to kick her.
00:34:03Unfortunately,
00:34:04I could not cause any actual damage to things in the real world.
00:34:08Just then,
00:34:09Ian's phone rang.
00:34:10The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
00:34:13It appeared his men had found clues to my whereabouts.
00:34:16The worry that filled his heart dissipated a little.
00:34:20Mr. Ian,
00:34:21we haven't found any new information regarding Miss Rebecca for the last three days.
00:34:26She hasn't made any financial transactions during this period, either.
00:34:29Ian froze.
00:34:30He was gripped by a sense of panic.
00:34:33He hurriedly said,
00:34:34That's impossible.
00:34:35There's no way she hasn't used any money in the last three days.
00:34:39Are you all doing your jobs properly?
00:34:41Did you even put in any serious effort to look for her?
00:34:43It's only been a while since I've given you the task,
00:34:45and you're already reporting to me now.
00:34:47Do your jobs properly and look for her.
00:34:49Do you hear me?
00:34:51Ian was like a wild lion in a frenzy of rage.
00:34:54His bellows reverberated through the living room.
00:34:57The person on the other end of the line stayed silent for a while.
00:35:00Then,
00:35:01they said,
00:35:02Mr. Ian,
00:35:02Ms. Rebecca doesn't have any private bank accounts.
00:35:05All of her other bank accounts were pretty much emptied.
00:35:08Even the properties she owned had all been donated to the company backery
00:35:11when it was facing a financial crisis.
00:35:13Ian's heart missed a beat.
00:35:14With a plop,
00:35:15the phone he was holding fell onto the floor.
00:35:19By the time Ian came to his senses,
00:35:21his usually stoic face was wet with tears.
00:35:25How did I forget about that?
00:35:26My money had all been channeled into the company
00:35:28to help Ian back when he was facing the biggest crisis of his career.
00:35:32Since he was too upset earlier,
00:35:34Ian instinctively thought that I had taken the money I had and run away from home.
00:35:38Rebecca,
00:35:40I killed you.
00:35:42I actually killed my own sister!
00:35:45Suddenly,
00:35:46Ian felt as if his insides were being torn into shreds.
00:35:49The terrible ache in his chest made him feel increasingly worried.
00:35:53Meanwhile,
00:35:55Lorelai maintained that pitiful look on her face
00:35:57as she picked up the phone from the floor
00:35:59and passed it to Ian.
00:36:01Ian's hands were shaking.
00:36:03He gripped the phone tightly.
00:36:04He scrolled through our chat history on his phone.
00:36:07Our final text messages were still from three days ago.
00:36:11Ian started tapping the back of his phone with his finger impatiently.
00:36:14Don't worry,
00:36:15Ian.
00:36:16Lorelai tried to offer him words of comfort,
00:36:18but Ian immediately pushed her aside.
00:36:21He strode toward the direction of the cellar at once.
00:36:26Ian wanted to confirm what exactly that thing was inside the cellar.
00:36:30You annoying wench.
00:36:32You're trying to hide from everyone now?
00:36:34Do you think that you're the only sister we have?
00:36:36I was forced to follow behind Ian again.
00:36:39However,
00:36:39there was no warmth in my eyes.
00:36:42I could not be bothered with what he wanted to do anymore.
00:36:45Loud,
00:36:46heavy footsteps could be heard
00:36:47as Ian headed toward the cellar.
00:36:50His face grew pale
00:36:51when Ian detected the same awful stench again.
00:36:55Still,
00:36:55he made it to the cellar's door.
00:36:57However,
00:36:58he furrowed his brows
00:36:59when he looked inside.
00:37:01Ian asked frigidly,
00:37:03Where's that thing inside?
00:37:05A maid who was cleaning at the side
00:37:07replied in a shaky voice.
00:37:09Mr. Ian,
00:37:10didn't you ask us to get rid of it just now?
00:37:13Just then,
00:37:14another maid held out a phone timidly.
00:37:16Mr. Ian,
00:37:17we found Ms. Rebecca's phone inside the cellar
00:37:20and charged it for a while.
00:37:21It can be turned on now.
00:37:23I stared at that phone.
00:37:24Even though I could not feel anything inside me anymore,
00:37:28tears streamed from my eyes nonetheless.
00:37:32Ian tremblingly opened my phone
00:37:34and saw the unsent messages.
00:37:36I stood behind him,
00:37:38expressionless.
00:37:39Suddenly,
00:37:40Will's call came in again.
00:37:41Ian put it on speaker.
00:37:43Will's voice was choked with sobs,
00:37:45almost breaking down.
00:37:46Ian,
00:37:47I found something Rebecca left for me in the studio.
00:37:49She wrote a new song for me
00:37:50to celebrate my second anniversary since debut.
00:37:53The song is called Big Brother's Starlight.
00:37:56She even wrote at the end of the lyrics,
00:37:58I hope we will always be a family.
00:38:01Will was already sobbing uncontrollably.
00:38:03Also,
00:38:04the people at the studio told me
00:38:05that the packet of seasoning
00:38:07Lorena gave Rebecca that morning
00:38:08was bought by her herself.
00:38:09Rebecca was even excitedly telling them
00:38:11that she wanted to use the porridge
00:38:12to get along better with Lorena.
00:38:14Right after that,
00:38:15Harry rushed in,
00:38:16holding a delicate small box in his hands.
00:38:18Harry's voice was shaking.
00:38:19In my studio,
00:38:20there is the rare red paint she prepared for me.
00:38:24And a note,
00:38:25third brother always likes beautiful colors.
00:38:28This is for you.
00:38:30I hope he owe you stay happy forever.
00:38:33She,
00:38:33she even wrote this sentence.
00:38:36Even though my brothers like Lorelai or now,
00:38:39as long as you are happy,
00:38:40I am satisfied.
00:38:42Ian suddenly dropped to his knees.
00:38:43His forehead slammed hard onto the cold floor
00:38:46with a dull thud.
00:38:47Blood flowed from his forehead,
00:38:48but he seemed to feel no pain.
00:38:51He just kept muttering repeatedly.
00:38:53We,
00:38:53we killed her with our own hands.
00:38:55I watched them
00:38:56and finally couldn't hold back.
00:38:58I laughed.
00:38:59My laughter was hollow and desolate,
00:39:02but no one could hear it.
00:39:06In the final moments leading to my death,
00:39:09I held on to the little hope I had
00:39:11and sent several messages to Ian
00:39:13asking for help.
00:39:15Unfortunately,
00:39:16there was no signal inside the cellar.
00:39:18Naturally,
00:39:19those messages could not be sent out to Ian's phone.
00:39:23I could only stare at the red exclamation marks
00:39:25indicating that the messages were not sent
00:39:27and died in despair inside the cellar.
00:39:30Ian snatched the phone away from the maid.
00:39:32The password for my phone
00:39:33was a combination of my three brothers' birthdays.
00:39:45He seemed to have an inkling of what had happened deep down.
00:39:49He was speaking faster as if he was rushing.
00:39:53The corners of his eyes were red.
00:39:55He moved his finger quickly as he swiped on my phone.
00:39:59Soon enough,
00:40:00he found the chat window with his name on it.
00:40:03Ian,
00:40:03I was wrong.
00:40:05I'll admit to the mistake.
00:40:08Please let me out.
00:40:10Ian,
00:40:11please let me out.
00:40:12I'm suffocating.
00:40:14I could hardly breathe in here.
00:40:16Ian,
00:40:17while reading those unsent messages,
00:40:20Ian felt his vision turn black.
00:40:23He dropped down on the floor.
00:40:25Lorelai rushed into the room just then.
00:40:28Just as she placed her hand on Ian's arm,
00:40:31he slapped her hand away.
00:40:32Go away.
00:40:34Lorelai was so taken aback by Ian's sudden outburst
00:40:37that she dropped to the floor.
00:40:38She blinked a few times,
00:40:40tears streaming from her eyes.
00:40:42However,
00:40:43her pitiful act did not evoke any sympathy from Ian.
00:40:46Ian's eyes were red as he looked at the maids,
00:40:49who were standing at the side and shaking in fear.
00:40:52He barked,
00:40:53The body!
00:40:54Where did you move the body inside the cello toe?
00:40:57Most of the maids shrank back a little.
00:40:59One of them plucked up the courage and said,
00:41:01Mr. Ian,
00:41:03Mr. Harry said that thing was filthy
00:41:05and he wanted us to burn it.
00:41:09We just finished burning it.
00:41:11Ian's vision turned white when he heard those words.
00:41:14His legs threatened to go out.
00:41:16At that very moment,
00:41:17my phone,
00:41:18which was still clutched tightly in Ian's hand,
00:41:21rang.
00:41:22I took a glance at the screen.
00:41:24It was a color from Will.
00:41:27As soon as Ian pressed the answer button,
00:41:29we could hear Will sobbing down the line.
00:41:32Rebecca, I'm so glad I answered the phone.
00:41:35It was a misunderstanding.
00:41:38I'm sorry I misunderstood you.
00:41:40Ian was still in a daze.
00:41:41On the other hand,
00:41:43Will continued in a choked voice.
00:41:46Rebecca,
00:41:47why aren't you saying anything, Rebecca?
00:41:49Are you still angry?
00:41:50It's my fault for not realizing it sooner.
00:41:53Things have turned out like this
00:41:54because that damn Larea has set up a trap to flame you.
00:41:58Larea was the one who gave you the item
00:42:00that triggered her allergic reaction that day.
00:42:03I misunderstood you.
00:42:05Rebecca, please say something.
00:42:06Can you please forgive me?
00:42:08Standing at the side,
00:42:10I scoffed.
00:42:12Will was an up-and-coming talented singer.
00:42:15I had been doing whatever I could to support him.
00:42:18Some of his popular hits were composed by me.
00:42:21On the morning of that very day,
00:42:23Lorelai gave me the packet of seasoning
00:42:24that would trigger her allergic reaction.
00:42:27Initially,
00:42:27I thought everything was going to get better
00:42:30from that point onward.
00:42:35Especially since I had composed a song for Will that day.
00:42:38I was going to give him the song as a present
00:42:40to congratulate him on his second anniversary
00:42:43after making his debut.
00:42:45I never imagined
00:42:46that I would be dragged
00:42:47and locked inside the cellar by my brothers
00:42:49who fell for Lorelai's skin.
00:42:52In the end,
00:42:53I even suffocated and died in the cellar.
00:42:56Fortunately,
00:42:57I had shared the news about the song
00:42:59with the people working at the studio in advance.
00:43:02Since I was feeling happy,
00:43:04I also told them about the packet of seasoning
00:43:06Lorelai gave me.
00:43:07If only Will had dropped by the studio sooner,
00:43:10he would have found out about the truth sooner as well.
00:43:12He shook my head expressionlessly.
00:43:14There was no point regretting it
00:43:16since it was too late now.
00:43:17Ian clutched his chest
00:43:18and stumbled a few steps backward.
00:43:20He had misunderstood me.
00:43:22It was all an act
00:43:23that was orchestrated by Lorelai.
00:43:25His eyes looked dull.
00:43:27Ian smiled bitterly.
00:43:28Will, it's me.
00:43:30Will sounded extremely agitated
00:43:32and regretful.
00:43:33Ian, pass the phone to Rebecca!
00:43:35I need to give her a proper apology first.
00:43:39Ian felt as though his heart was being squeezed.
00:43:42To the point it was getting distorted.
00:43:44He yelled in a cracked voice.
00:43:47Rebecca's phone was found inside the cellar!
00:43:49After a moment's silence,
00:43:51Will asked in a shaky voice.
00:43:53Rebecca.
00:43:56Where's Rebecca then?
00:43:57Ian, hold on!
00:43:58I'm coming home right now!
00:44:00Lorelai's expression had gradually hardened as well.
00:44:03The hair above her ears was stuck to her skin
00:44:06because of her sweat.
00:44:08Ian,
00:44:11let me explain first.
00:44:12Lorelai had only uttered those two words
00:44:15when Ian gave her a hefty hook
00:44:17and sent her flying backward.
00:44:19Then,
00:44:19Ian bellowed furiously.
00:44:21Hold her down!
00:44:23Several maids lunged Lorelai
00:44:25and pressed Lorelai hard against the floor.
00:44:29While Ian leaned against the wall for support,
00:44:31the phone in his hand started ringing again.
00:44:34I cast a glance at the screen
00:44:36and it was a call from Harry.
00:44:38Ari was a genius painter
00:44:40who loved beautiful colours.
00:44:42Four days ago,
00:44:43I found an extremely rare red paint
00:44:45specially for him.
00:44:46I knew he would love the paint.
00:44:48The second he saw it,
00:44:50I just did not expect
00:44:52that I would be dead.
00:44:54Before Harry could receive the surprise from me,
00:44:57when Ian picked up the call,
00:44:59Harry's tone had softened noticeably.
00:45:02Enough with this, Rebecca.
00:45:04You should stop throwing your tantrums.
00:45:06You were indeed wrong this time.
00:45:08I don't care where you are.
00:45:10Just hurry and come home.
00:45:13I'll take your side this time.
00:45:15While Harry was still blabbering on,
00:45:18Ian interrupted him.
00:45:19Harry Helderman!
00:45:21Were you the one who instructed the maids
00:45:23to burn the dead body?
00:45:25That body was very likely our sister, Rebecca!
00:45:30There was a moment's stunned silence.
00:45:33Then, Harry's voice started shaking.
00:45:36That...
00:45:36Could it be...
00:45:38That's impossible!
00:45:39Rebecca couldn't have ended up looking like that.
00:45:41She was locked inside the cellar for just three days.
00:45:44She couldn't have turned into something so disgusting!
00:45:46That's impossible!
00:45:47I'm coming back!
00:45:48We'll do a DNA test.
00:45:50Recall that we'll just need her hair to do the test.
00:45:53That thing couldn't possibly be our sister!
00:45:55He hung up right after saying that.
00:45:57Ian was hunched over the floor
00:45:58as he broke down in tears.
00:46:02A brief moment later,
00:46:03one of the maids mustered the courage to step forward
00:46:06while carrying an urn.
00:46:09Mr. Ian,
00:46:11this is most likely Mrs. Rebecca's ashes.
00:46:13Ian was still clinging on to the last sliver of hope
00:46:16that I might still be alive.
00:46:18He corrected her in a stern voice.
00:46:21What do you mean?
00:46:22You win that's most like Laika, Rebecca,
00:46:25Rebecca Heldman!
00:46:26Our little sister is just missing!
00:46:29Just then,
00:46:30another maid came forward.
00:46:32She slowly handed a report with the DNA test results
00:46:36to Ian.
00:46:38Mr. Ian,
00:46:39when Mr. Harry had asked us to burn the body,
00:46:42we took the liberty to send some samples for a DNA test.
00:46:45The DNA test report indicated the body was indeed
00:46:48Ms. Rebecca.
00:46:49Please accept our heartfelt condolences, Mr. Ian.
00:46:52Ian froze to the spot.
00:46:54With a blank look on his face,
00:46:56Ian stood in the same spot for more than 10 minutes,
00:46:59unmoving.
00:47:00Then,
00:47:01his gaze fell on Lorelai,
00:47:03who was subdued by the maids.
00:47:05Bring me everything you can find on that wench.
00:47:08Now,
00:47:09earlier,
00:47:10Will said that you had framed Rebecca.
00:47:13Lorelai started struggling.
00:47:15Ian!
00:47:16I'm innocent!
00:47:18It's not my fault!
00:47:19Rebecca died!
00:47:20Lorelai!
00:47:21I'm innocent!
00:47:22Lorelai!
00:47:23Lorelai's phone contained evidence
00:47:25of her framing me on multiple occasions.
00:47:28Soon enough,
00:47:29Ian received various items that were found on Lorelai.
00:47:33He looked through those things quickly
00:47:34and turned on Lorelai's phone.
00:47:37His face darkened instantly.
00:47:39Ian kicked Lorelai in the face.
00:47:42The next instant,
00:47:44not long after that,
00:47:45Will and Harry arrived home.
00:47:48As soon as they got there,
00:47:50they saw Lorelai,
00:47:52who was held down by the maids
00:47:54and seemed like she was barely breathing.
00:47:57Beside them,
00:47:58Ian stood there with his red, teary eyes.
00:48:02Harry shouted aloud,
00:48:03Ian!
00:48:04What are you doing?
00:48:05Why did you beat Leroy up like that?
00:48:07Will lowered his gaze.
00:48:09His eyes blazed with fury.
00:48:11As he stared at Lorelai,
00:48:13Ian tossed the phone in Will and Harry's direction.
00:48:16Both of them seemed confused.
00:48:18As they turned on the phone,
00:48:21yet,
00:48:21their expressions changed almost simultaneously.
00:48:24The next instant,
00:48:26the phone contained evidence
00:48:27of all of Lorelai's evil deeds.
00:48:30From the moment she first arrived
00:48:31at the Haldeman residence,
00:48:33Lorelai had stepped on
00:48:35and broken her own toy.
00:48:36She made it seem like
00:48:37it was me who did it
00:48:39and got my brothers to scold me harshly.
00:48:41Up until three days ago,
00:48:44Lorelai gave me the item
00:48:45that would trigger her allergic reaction
00:48:47and used it to frame me.
00:48:49In every video,
00:48:50the moments where I was being scolded
00:48:52or yelled at by my brothers
00:48:54and the sound of Lorelai
00:48:55giggling softly
00:48:57were recorded.
00:48:58Harry was the first to kick Lorelai's face.
00:49:01This time,
00:49:01his eyes were red.
00:49:03He shouted,
00:49:03We misunderstood Rebecca for so long
00:49:06and it was all you're doing.
00:49:09Have you forgotten?
00:49:10It was because of Rebecca
00:49:12that you were able to live in our home.
00:49:14Why did you do that?
00:49:16Why?
00:49:17Blood had smudged
00:49:18all over Lorelai's mouth.
00:49:20There was a steely look in her eyes.
00:49:22She glared at my brothers menacingly.
00:49:27So what?
00:49:28I admit that I've been framing her all along.
00:49:30I was just trying to earn
00:49:32more of your affection.
00:49:33Am I wrong for doing that?
00:49:35Still,
00:49:36you guys are the ones
00:49:37who have actually killed her in the end.
00:49:39I don't understand
00:49:40why you guys are venting on me now.
00:49:42For a moment,
00:49:43my brothers,
00:49:44who were boiling with rage at first,
00:49:46were suddenly flustered.
00:49:49Lorelai shot Yana glad.
00:49:50I was simply trying to gain
00:49:52your affection and attention.
00:49:54Yet, what did you guys do?
00:49:55The three of you locked her inside the cellar
00:49:57and completely forgot about her.
00:49:59Even if she managed to survive those three days,
00:50:01Rebecca would probably be so traumatized
00:50:04by what happened and go nuts.
00:50:06Don't you agree?
00:50:08Ian was so overwhelmed
00:50:09by feelings of despair
00:50:11that he slumped onto the floor,
00:50:13buried his face in his hands,
00:50:14and sobbed miserably.
00:50:16Meanwhile,
00:50:17Lorelai turned her eyes to Will and Harry.
00:50:19All of you are murderers and accomplices!
00:50:23You'll all be put by the law!
00:50:26Will and Harry crouched down
00:50:28and burst into tears of love.
00:50:30Lorelai had a triumphant look on her face
00:50:32as she took in the sight before her.
00:50:35Yet, the moment did not last long
00:50:37as Ian lunged at her
00:50:38and seized her by the throat.
00:50:40At the same time,
00:50:41Will smashed her head with a hammer
00:50:43while Harry bit her heart on the neck.
00:50:45Lorelai was beaten to death by my brothers.
00:50:50Looking at the urn that the maids
00:50:52had brought over to them,
00:50:53my brothers could not take it anymore.
00:50:56At that moment,
00:50:57I recalled how our company
00:50:59had been on the verge
00:51:00of going out of business
00:51:01after my parents passed away.
00:51:04Many of our company's executives
00:51:05coveted our wealth and assets back then.
00:51:08Thus,
00:51:08I had been frequently targeted
00:51:10since I was my brother's weakness.
00:51:12There was one time
00:51:13when I got abducted by a group of men.
00:51:15My brothers used every means they could
00:51:17and found me.
00:51:18They held me tightly in their arms
00:51:20and growled,
00:51:21Rebecca,
00:51:22we won't ever let anyone harm you.
00:51:25You're the most precious thing
00:51:26Mom and Dad have left behind for us.
00:51:28You're the only sister we have.
00:51:30That day,
00:51:31my brothers held me in their arms
00:51:33for an entire night.
00:51:34Since then,
00:51:35I worked hard to be like a mature adult
00:51:37so that they would not have to worry about me.
00:51:40In the end,
00:51:41what they said that day
00:51:42was just lies to fool kids.
00:51:44Yet,
00:51:45I actually believed it.
00:51:47It felt so absurd now
00:51:48that I thought about it.
00:51:51My dear brothers,
00:51:53I'm no longer your sister.
00:51:55In our next life,
00:51:56no,
00:51:57let's not meet each other ever again.
00:52:01Ian sat alone on the edge of Rebecca's bed,
00:52:04tightly gripping the necklace
00:52:06engraved with four names.
00:52:07His eyes were bloodshot.
00:52:10He hadn't slept for many days.
00:52:12Rebecca,
00:52:15Big Brother was wrong.
00:52:17How could I believe Lorelly's words
00:52:19and lock you in the cellar?
00:52:21I didn't even give you a chance to explain.
00:52:24He recalled the night.
00:52:25When Rebecca had a high fever as a child,
00:52:28he stayed by her side all night,
00:52:30wiping her forehead with a cold towel
00:52:33and whispering softly,
00:52:35Big Brother will never leave you.
00:52:37Now,
00:52:38those words cut into his heart
00:52:40like sharp blades.
00:52:41When the company was almost bankrupt,
00:52:43you invested all your inheritance
00:52:44to save me.
00:52:45I only realized how much you did for us
00:52:48after you died.
00:52:50What a blind big brother I am.
00:52:52He buried his head in Rebecca's pillow,
00:52:55inhaling the faint scent
00:52:56that still lingered on it.
00:52:58His shoulders shook violently.
00:53:00Little sister,
00:53:02if you were still here,
00:53:04I would give the entire company to you.
00:53:06I would kneel down
00:53:08and beg for your forgiveness.
00:53:10But you're already gone.
00:53:11I come here every day.
00:53:13I just want to hear you
00:53:15call me Big Brother one more time.
00:53:17But the room is always terrifyingly quiet.
00:53:19Ian's regret was like an endless dark night,
00:53:21devouring what remained of his life.
00:53:25Will wore headphones
00:53:26and repeatedly played the song
00:53:28Big Brother's Starlight
00:53:29that Rebecca had written for him.
00:53:31When the song started,
00:53:33he suddenly broke down
00:53:35and smashed the headphones on the ground.
00:53:37Little sister,
00:53:38you stayed up all night
00:53:40to write this song for me.
00:53:41You said you hoped I would shine forever.
00:53:44But I personally pushed you into the cellar
00:53:47and locked the door with my own hands.
00:53:49He remembered the day
00:53:50when Rebecca secretly helped him with harmonies
00:53:53and prepared gifts for his celebrations.
00:53:55Yet he had called her
00:53:56Vicious
00:53:57because of Lorelei's words.
00:54:00All those awards,
00:54:02all that applause,
00:54:04how ironic they sound now.
00:54:09If I could trade them for you,
00:54:10I would give up everything.
00:54:11I wish I had never become a singer.
00:54:13He pressed his head
00:54:14against the recording console,
00:54:16crying until he almost suffocated.
00:54:18Rebecca,
00:54:19Big Brother regrets it.
00:54:21I can't sleep every night.
00:54:24As soon as I close my eyes,
00:54:25I see you desperately
00:54:27banging on the door in the cellar.
00:54:29I deserve to die.
00:54:30I really deserve to die.
00:54:32If you can hear me,
00:54:34come back and scold me!
00:54:35Hit me anything!
00:54:37Just come back!
00:54:39Will's regret was like a blunt knife,
00:54:41cutting away at the rest of his life.
00:54:45Harry knelt in the center of the studio.
00:54:47In front of him was the last portrait
00:54:49he had drawn of Rebecca,
00:54:50already torn to pieces by his own hands.
00:54:53This is what I drew for you.
00:54:56You always said you hoped
00:54:57I would paint the most beautiful colors,
00:54:59but I painted you as a vicious sister,
00:55:02and even said
00:55:03I would kick you out of the house.
00:55:05He remembered the rare red paint.
00:55:07Rebecca had spent three months
00:55:09of her allowance to buy for him,
00:55:11along with the note.
00:55:12Third brother always likes beautiful colors.
00:55:14This is for you.
00:55:15I hope you stay happy forever.
00:55:18I, the so-called genius painter,
00:55:20couldn't even see my own sister's true heart!
00:55:23I had your body burned!
00:55:25I couldn't even see you one last time!
00:55:27He frantically scratched the floor with his hands.
00:55:30Blood mixed with paint,
00:55:31dyed the floor red.
00:55:32Rebecca,
00:55:33I'm willing to burn all my paintings
00:55:36and all my honors.
00:55:37I just want your forgiveness.
00:55:40I'll never paint again.
00:55:42As long as you can come back,
00:55:45little sister.
00:55:46Are you still angry with us?
00:55:49Big brother lives in hell every day.
00:55:52Please come back.
00:55:54Barry's regret had become a cage.
00:55:56He could never escape for the rest of his life.
00:55:58The three brothers knelt together
00:56:00in front of Rebecca's grave.
00:56:02They had been kneeling
00:56:03for a full day and night.
00:56:06Little sister,
00:56:07big brother is sorry.
00:56:12I pushed you into the cellar.
00:56:14I killed you with my own hands.
00:56:16I was the one who locked the door.
00:56:18I wrapped the chains around it myself.
00:56:21I deserved to die.
00:56:23I moved the heavy stone to block the door.
00:56:26I even had your body burned.
00:56:28I couldn't even bury you next to mom and dad.
00:56:30We donated the company,
00:56:32all our property,
00:56:33everything.
00:56:34We just hope you can forgive us.
00:56:36I canceled all my concerts.
00:56:39I will never sing again.
00:56:41I burned all my paintings.
00:56:42I will never touch a paintbrush again.
00:56:45The three of them held their heads
00:56:47and cried bitterly.
00:56:49The wind blew through the cemetery,
00:56:51carrying only their endless regret.
00:56:53Their regret would accompany them
00:56:54for the rest of their lives.
00:56:57The lights in the villa
00:56:58had not been turned on for a long time.
00:57:00Ever since Rebecca died,
00:57:02this once lively Haldeman family mansion
00:57:05had become like a giant tomb.
00:57:07Ian, Will, and Harry had moved out
00:57:10and never returned.
00:57:12The garden was overgrown,
00:57:14the studio was covered in dust,
00:57:16and thick dust had accumulated on the piano.
00:57:19Only Rebecca's room remained
00:57:20exactly as it was when she was alive.
00:57:22The doll on the bed,
00:57:24the unfinished homework on the desk,
00:57:26and the red circle on the calendar.
00:57:28Ian's birthday.
00:57:30No one ever entered that room again.
00:57:32Until this day.
00:57:34The demolition team's truck
00:57:36stopped in front of the villa.
00:57:38Workers began clearing out the debris inside.
00:57:41The old butler stood at the door,
00:57:43holding the authorization letter
00:57:45signed by Ian.
00:57:46His eyes read,
00:57:47Tear it down.
00:57:50Tear it all down.
00:57:53When the workers reached
00:57:55the end of the corridor,
00:57:56they saw the iron door.
00:57:58The door was covered in rust,
00:58:00and still wrapped with rusted chains.
00:58:02The gaps were sealed tightly,
00:58:05as if to prevent anyone inside
00:58:07from getting out,
00:58:08or anyone outside
00:58:09from getting in.
00:58:11Why won't this door open?
00:58:13One worker pulled hard on the chains.
00:58:15Another brought a cutting machine
00:58:17with a harsh metallic screw.
00:58:19The chains were cut piece by piece.
00:58:21Finally, someone pushed hard.
00:58:24The iron door opened.
00:58:25A stale smell
00:58:27mixed with rust and decay rushed out.
00:58:30Someone covered their nose.
00:58:32The workers turned on their flashlights
00:58:35and shone them into the cellar.
00:58:37The cellar was small and dark.
00:58:39The walls were covered
00:58:40with years of dust.
00:58:42There was nothing on the floor.
00:58:43The rotten body
00:58:44had long been burned to ashes.
00:58:46Wait.
00:58:48A young worker suddenly spoke.
00:58:50There were words on the wall.
00:58:51He pointed his flashlight at the wall.
00:58:54All the other flashlights followed.
00:58:56Then, everyone fell silent.
00:58:59There were words on the wall.
00:59:01Dense, countless words.
00:59:03They were scratched with fingers.
00:59:05Some deep, some shallow.
00:59:07Some words were repeated once.
00:59:10Twice, countless times.
00:59:12Some had become blurred,
00:59:14while others were still clear.
00:59:16Big brother.
00:59:17These three words filled an entire wall.
00:59:20Big and small.
00:59:21Crooked and straight.
00:59:23Some overlapping.
00:59:25Some inseparate lines.
00:59:26It was as if someone
00:59:28had used their last strength
00:59:29to repeat the same address
00:59:31over and over again.
00:59:33The workers continued
00:59:34to look at the other walls.
00:59:36Big brother.
00:59:37You said you would never leave me.
00:59:39This line was written
00:59:40on the left wall
00:59:41near the entrance,
00:59:42the stroke so deep
00:59:43that fingernail marks
00:59:45were embedded in the concrete.
00:59:47Second brother.
00:59:47Did you like the song
00:59:48I wrote for you?
00:59:49This line was on the opposite wall,
00:59:51the handwriting slightly slanted,
00:59:53as if her hand was already shaking
00:59:55when she wrote it.
00:59:56Third brother.
00:59:57Did you like the red paint?
00:59:59Written in the corner.
01:00:00The strokes lighter,
01:00:01as if she no longer
01:00:03had much strength left.
01:00:05Mom, I'm coming.
01:00:07Toward the end,
01:00:08the handwriting became messier
01:00:10and fainter.
01:00:11The last line was written
01:00:12on the floor
01:00:12in the farthest corner,
01:00:14so small,
01:00:15it was almost impossible to read.
01:00:17So cold,
01:00:18so dark.
01:00:19Big brothers,
01:00:20where are you?
01:00:22I've been waiting
01:00:23for you to open the door.
01:00:24I've been waiting.
01:00:27The young worker
01:00:28turned his head away first,
01:00:30unable to look any longer.
01:00:32Those bastards.
01:00:33He cursed softly,
01:00:35his eyes red.
01:00:36They locked their own sister in here
01:00:40and let her suffocate to death.
01:00:42The old butler stood at the door,
01:00:45trembling all over.
01:00:48I'm going to call them.
01:00:51I'm going to tell them to come.
01:00:53The old butler's voice was shaking.
01:00:56The phone rang for a long time,
01:00:57before it was answered.
01:00:59Hello.
01:01:02Mr. Ian.
01:01:04You need to come here.
01:01:06What's wrong?
01:01:08Isn't the villa being demolished?
01:01:10The cellar.
01:01:12The cellar has been opened.
01:01:13There was silence on the other end.
01:01:15There are words on the wall.
01:01:18Miss Rebecca.
01:01:20She wrote words on the cellar walls.
01:01:24Another long silence.
01:01:26Then,
01:01:26the sound of something shattering came
01:01:28from the other end of the phone.
01:01:31Ian was the first to arrive.
01:01:32His hair was already half gray.
01:01:35He wore a wrinkled shirt,
01:01:37his beard unshaven,
01:01:39and his eyes were swollen,
01:01:40as if he hadn't slept for days.
01:01:43Will followed closely behind.
01:01:45He had not performed publicly
01:01:47since Rebecca's death.
01:01:48His voice was completely hoarse.
01:01:51Harry arrived last.
01:01:53He had become much thinner.
01:01:56His fingers were covered in old scars
01:01:58from when he had scratched the ground.
01:02:00The three of them stood
01:02:01at the cellar entrance.
01:02:02No one dared to go in.
01:02:05Let's go in.
01:02:07She has been waiting for us
01:02:08for many years.
01:02:09They walked into the cellar
01:02:11one after another.
01:02:12The flashlight beams
01:02:14swept across the walls.
01:02:16Then,
01:02:16all three of them
01:02:18melt down at the same time.
01:02:20Ian suddenly began to rush.
01:02:22He lay on the ground,
01:02:24his whole body convulsing violently.
01:02:26It wasn't crying.
01:02:28It was something more terrifying
01:02:30than crying.
01:02:31It was as if everything
01:02:33he had suppressed
01:02:34for all these years
01:02:35was surging up at once.
01:02:37Will tried to help him up,
01:02:39but ended up collapsing
01:02:40on the ground himself.
01:02:41The two of them lay
01:02:42on the cellar floor,
01:02:44head to head,
01:02:45just like when they used
01:02:46to squeeze into Rebecca's
01:02:47small bed as children.
01:02:49But this time,
01:02:50no one was holding Rebecca.
01:02:52She was not between them.
01:02:53She was on the floor,
01:02:54on the walls,
01:02:56on the ceiling.
01:02:58She was in their bones.
01:03:00She was in the name.
01:03:02They could never say again.
01:03:06Harry was the last
01:03:07to leave the cellar.
01:03:08He crawled on the ground,
01:03:10looking at every inch,
01:03:12trying to memorize
01:03:13all the words
01:03:14before the place
01:03:16was demolished.
01:03:17Then,
01:03:18he saw the line of words
01:03:19behind the door.
01:03:20It was very small,
01:03:22so small you had to
01:03:23press your face
01:03:24against the door
01:03:25to see it.
01:03:26Big Brother,
01:03:26only two words,
01:03:28written at the very bottom
01:03:29of the door,
01:03:30near the floor,
01:03:32because that was what
01:03:33she wrote with her last breath,
01:03:34pressing her face
01:03:36against the door gap,
01:03:37before she finally collapsed.
01:03:39She didn't write
01:03:40Big Brother Eden,
01:03:42Second Brother,
01:03:43or Third Brother.
01:03:45She wrote Big Brother,
01:03:47no distinction,
01:03:49no order.
01:03:50It was the name
01:03:51she had called them,
01:03:52since she was little.
01:03:55It was the name
01:03:56of the people
01:03:57he thought would
01:03:58never abandon her,
01:03:59but the door
01:04:00never opened.
01:04:02Harry pressed his face
01:04:03against those two words
01:04:05and closed his eyes.
01:04:07Little sister.
01:04:08His lips touched the words,
01:04:10his voice so soft.
01:04:12It was as if he was
01:04:13afraid of waking someone.
01:04:15Big Brother is here.
01:04:17Big Brother finally
01:04:18came to see you,
01:04:20but it's too late.
01:04:25The next day,
01:04:27the villa was demolished.
01:04:29The cellar was filled in
01:04:31by bulldozers.
01:04:32The words on the walls
01:04:33were buried under rubble
01:04:35and concrete.
01:04:36Never to be seen again,
01:04:38Ian,
01:04:39Will,
01:04:39and Harry
01:04:40stood in front of the ruins,
01:04:42watching the iron door
01:04:43being pressed
01:04:44into scrap metal,
01:04:45and the walls
01:04:46covered in words
01:04:47being turned into debris.
01:04:48They didn't speak.
01:04:49The wind blew,
01:04:52raising a cloud of dust.
01:04:54Someone said
01:04:55that was Rebecca's soul
01:04:57finally scattering.
01:04:58She had waited
01:04:59for so many more.
01:05:00Waited
01:05:01until the villa
01:05:02was demolished.
01:05:03Waited until the words
01:05:04on the wall
01:05:05were finally seen.
01:05:06Then she let go
01:05:07of her last obsession
01:05:09and left with the wind.
01:05:11But,
01:05:11in that gust of wind,
01:05:13no one heard her voice.
01:05:14Maybe
01:05:15she said,
01:05:16goodbye.
01:05:17Maybe she said,
01:05:18I forgive you.
01:05:19Maybe she said
01:05:20nothing at all.
01:05:21Maybe she just
01:05:22let out a soft sigh,
01:05:24like the last breath
01:05:25she exhaled,
01:05:26in the corner of the cellar,
01:05:28many, many years ago.
01:05:30So light,
01:05:31so small,
01:05:32so light,
01:05:33that no one heard it.
01:05:34So small,
01:05:35that no one remembered it,
01:05:37except for that wall.
01:05:39Until that wall
01:05:40was also torn down.
01:05:44Many years later,
01:05:45a small park
01:05:47was built
01:05:47on the site
01:05:48of the old villa.
01:05:49There was a big tree
01:05:50in the park
01:05:51and under the tree
01:05:52was a long bench.
01:05:54No one knew why.
01:05:56But on the back
01:05:57of that bench
01:05:58was carved
01:05:59a small line of words,
01:06:01so cold,
01:06:02so dark,
01:06:03big brothers,
01:06:04where are you?
01:06:04The three white-haired
01:06:06old men
01:06:06sat down on the bench
01:06:07together.
01:06:08Ian stroked
01:06:09the carved words
01:06:10with trembling fingers,
01:06:11his voice hoarse
01:06:13and broken.
01:06:14Rebecca,
01:06:15big brother is here.
01:06:17I'm sorry.
01:06:19I'm so sorry.
01:06:21Will lowered his head,
01:06:22tears silently
01:06:23falling onto the bench.
01:06:25Little sister,
01:06:26we finally came,
01:06:27but you're not here anymore.
01:06:30Harry gently touched
01:06:31the letters
01:06:31with his scarred fingers,
01:06:33his eyes empty
01:06:34and desolate.
01:06:35I painted
01:06:36so many colors.
01:06:38But I never painted
01:06:39the color
01:06:40of your smile again.
01:06:42Occasionally,
01:06:43someone would sit on it
01:06:44and feel a sudden chill.
01:06:46Some said it was
01:06:47the cold ground.
01:06:48Some said it was
01:06:49the wind.
01:06:50Only these three
01:06:51white-haired old men
01:06:52knew what it was.
01:06:53They came every year.
01:06:55They sat on that bench
01:06:56from sunrise
01:06:57to sunset.
01:06:58They didn't speak
01:06:59anymore after that.
01:07:00They didn't cry
01:07:01out loud.
01:07:02They just sat there
01:07:03quietly,
01:07:04as if waiting
01:07:05for someone,
01:07:06waiting forever.
01:07:08Just like the little girl
01:07:09in the cellar
01:07:09many years ago,
01:07:10who kept waiting
01:07:11for them to open
01:07:12the door.
01:07:14Waiting forever.
01:07:15out of the air.
01:07:17I can't wait for it.
