FunTranscript
00:00My foster sister Sophia, the last purebred white wolf in Grell Village, was raped and
00:05tortured to death by an unknown rogue wolf. Her suicide note contained only one sentence.
00:13Lena saw his face. From that day on, I became the pack's greatest sinner,
00:18because I knew who the killer was, but I kept silent for five years, until my foster brother
00:25Damien, the most powerful alpha in North America, returned. He brought back the soul vision device
00:32and forcibly extracted memories from my werewolf soul. All the werewolves who had the soul vision
00:39device used on them either died or went insane. My werewolf was repeatedly tortured in the device,
00:46but Damien suppressed the pain in his eyes and roared. When I find the truth, I'll send you and
00:52the murderer to hell together. But when they finally discovered the truth, Damien went mad.
01:08My foster sister Sophia, the last purebred white wolf in Grell Village, was dead. Three days. That's
01:16how long she suffered at the hands of an unknown rogue wolf before they found her. Her pure white
01:22wolf blind had been completely defiled. She couldn't face the pack anymore. She was terrified of bringing
01:29misfortune to everyone she loved. So she ran into the forest. Then she threw herself into the ice lake.
01:42The water turned red around her broken body. Her suicide note contained only one sentence.
01:53Lena saw his face.
01:57From that day forward, I became the pack's greatest sinner because I knew who the killer was.
02:05I knew his name, his face, his scent. Yet I chose silence. For five whole years, I protected that monster.
02:16The sound of his crying followed me into the darkness.
02:20You bastard protector! You betrayed Grell!
02:22The angry voices outside grew louder.
02:24Come out and face us, traitor. You're protecting the scum who defiled our purebred.
02:28The pack had surrounded my cave again. They carried torches that cast dancing to shadows on the walls.
02:34Their furious roars made the stone foundation shake.
02:37Freak! Witch!
02:38I had heard these accusations every night for five years. The words had lost their sting.
02:46But the hatred behind them still burned like acid in my veins.
02:50I walked to where Fenrek waited in the shadows. My black hunting dog had been my only companion since Sophia's
02:57death.
02:59Drive them away.
03:02I whispered, reaching for his iron chain. The pack members scattered like startled prey.
03:09Cavils and berry by what's came wrong.
03:12They left.
03:14But I lost everything that night, too.
03:20My foster sister, Sophia, the last purebred white wolf in Grell Village, was dead.
03:26Three days.
03:27That's how long she suffered at the hands of an unknown rogue wolf before they found her.
03:32Her pure white wolf bloodline had been completely defiled.
03:35She couldn't face the pack anymore.
03:37She was terrified of bringing misfortune to everyone she loved.
03:42So she ran into the forest.
03:44Then she threw herself into the ice lake.
03:47The water turned red around her broken body.
03:51Her suicide note contained only one sentence.
03:54Lina saw his face.
03:56From that day forward, I became the pack's greatest sinner.
04:05Because I knew who the killer was.
04:09I knew his name, his face, his scent.
04:14Yet I chose silence.
04:16For five whole years, I protected that monster.
04:20Aunt Lina, please!
04:22The voice outside my cave was raw with desperation.
04:25Just tell me his name!
04:27It was Aiden.
04:28Sophia's only cub.
04:30He knelt outside my stone cave every full moon.
04:34Tears streaming down his young face.
04:37Please!
04:38Avenge my mother!
04:40You saw the killer's face!
04:43Why won't you speak?
04:45His sobs echoed off the cave walls.
04:48Each cry felt like a knife twisting in my chest.
04:52This seven-year-old child had lost everything.
04:55His mother was gone.
04:57His childhood was destroyed.
05:01I was the only one who could give him justice.
05:03I stood behind the stone door, listening to his heartbreaking wails.
05:07My hands trembled against the cold rock.
05:11Every instinct screamed at me to comfort him.
05:13To hold him.
05:15To give him the answers he needed.
05:17Instead, I turned away.
05:20I walked deeper into my cave and shut the inner door.
05:27Five years later, my body grew weak and frail.
05:31I could barely leave my stone bed.
05:34Only the medicinal herbs native to our territory kept me alive.
05:39That's when Damien stepped through the destruction.
05:43My foster brother had returned, dragging me back to the time before everything shattered.
05:57Lena, don't worry.
05:59When I become the strongest wolf, I'll carry you everywhere.
06:03No one will ever bully you again.
06:09Then I'll always be your little sister.
06:11We'll never separate.
06:16The Damien who once swore to protect me with his life had become the one who now came to destroy
06:21me.
06:21He was no longer the young wolf I remembered from our childhood.
06:25Now he stood as the most powerful alpha lord in North America.
06:28Twelve black wolf guards flanked him like shadows of death.
06:31Get up, Lena.
06:34Today is your judgment day.
06:57Damien, I'm sick.
07:01I'm sick.
07:05You're sick because you have guilt, eating away at your conscience.
07:12Sophia was blind to call you sister.
07:15She's been dead for five years.
07:17Meanwhile, the bastard who defiled purebloods has been living free for five years.
07:28Today, I'll use the soul vision device.
07:31I'll see exactly who you've been protecting all these years.
07:37Are you going to kill me?
07:41The moon was full and bright overhead.
07:44Its silver light illuminated the packed village square below.
07:48Every werewolf and grell had gathered for this moment.
07:51They formed a perfect circle around the ancient judgment platform.
07:55Their eyes gleamed with bloodlust and anticipation.
07:58A pack recorder held up a crystal orb.
08:02The magical device pulsed with ethereal light.
08:06I realized with growing horror that this trial was being broadcast live to the entire North American werewolf community.
08:16The black wolf guards hauled me up the stone steps.
08:20Each movement sent pain shreering through my malnourished body.
08:24A small figure broke through the crowd and rushed onto the platform.
08:28Aiden, seven years old now.
08:31Sophia's only surviving blood.
08:33McLean!
08:34His wolf eyes had already begun to turn red with rage and grief.
08:37He grabbed my torn sleeve with both hands.
08:40Why won't you tell us who killed her?
08:42Why won't you let me avenge my mother?
08:46Tears streamed down his young face.
08:48His voice cracked with unbearable pain.
08:55I've waited in years!
08:57Five whole years!
08:59He sobbed.
09:00Every night I dream about her.
09:02She's calling for justice!
09:04I looked down at this broken child.
09:06My throat felt like it was closing up.
09:09The words I wanted to say turned to ash in my mouth.
09:12The crowd below began to hole.
09:18She knows the killer but won't speak!
09:21Rogue wolves are all heartless!
09:25She's brought shame to Grell's honor!
09:28Their voices crashed over me like a tsunami.
09:30Louder and louder until I couldn't think straight.
09:34Damien stepped in front of me.
09:38His wolf eyes were like chips of arctic ice.
09:41We had once been family.
09:43We had played together as cubs.
09:45We had shared meals and stories and dreams.
09:50But after Sophia's death, he decided I had betrayed everything sacred.
09:55There's still time to tell the truth.
09:58He said, his voice dropping to a deadly whisper.
10:01Confess who you've been protecting.
10:03Admit which bastard defiled our purebred.
10:09I struggled desperately against the guards holding me.
10:13Damien!
10:14You can't activate it!
10:16You'll regret this!
10:19Regret?
10:20He laughed coldly, cutting off my words.
10:24My biggest regret is picking you up from the snow when we were children!
10:28His voice turned raw with pain and fury.
10:31We hold it!
10:32All these years I treated you like a real sister!
10:34I protected you!
10:36I cared for you!
10:37The black wolf guards forced me into the metal judgment chair.
10:40The cold steel bit into my skin.
10:42Heavy shackles locked around my wrists and ankles.
10:44I couldn't move.
10:45I couldn't escape.
10:46A metal helmet descended from above.
10:48Countless thin needles pressed against my scalp, searching for entry points.
10:52The sharp tips pierced through skin and bone drilling straight toward my wolf soul core.
10:55Tears streaming down my face.
10:57I begged him, Damien, please.
11:01The soul vision device projection screen lit up in the center of the square.
11:06My memories began to tear away from my mind and display for everyone to see.
11:10The werewolves below roared with fury.
11:12They hurled burning branches and sharp stones at me.
11:15Great, lone wolf!
11:16Go to hell, skunk!
11:17Flames grazed my arm.
11:20My skin turned black and chores instantly.
11:23But I didn't move.
11:25I couldn't move.
11:26The first memory flickered onto the massive screen.
11:29Three days after Sophia's death.
11:32I was being dragged by black wolf guards to the village bonfire platform.
11:36The pack members spat at me.
11:38They threw silver daggers.
11:40Claws raped across my face, blood streaming down my cheeks.
11:43Tell us the killer's name.
11:45You protecting bastard.
11:47I broke free from their grip.
11:49I ran desperately towards my stone cave.
11:51When I looked back, everything was in ruin.
11:53Flames had devoured Moonstone Altar.
11:56The wolfskin blanket Sophia gave me was burning to me.
11:59With nowhere left to go, I fled into the snowy mountains with Fenrock.
12:02But the pack followed us.
12:04They surrounded us in the white wilderness.
12:09But the pack followed us.
12:12They surrounded us in the white wilderness.
12:15I collapsed in the deep snow, too weak to run anymore.
12:19Fenor immediately stood in front of me.
12:21The approaching wolves.
12:23When they attacked with silver blades and chains, he fought back furiously.
12:27He took several heavy blows meant for me.
12:29Blood pouring from his shoulder and back.
12:31Even as he bled, he kept pushing me behind him, refusing to retreat.
12:35Right in front of me, they used silver blades and chains to slice off pieces of Fenor's flesh.
12:39Strip by strip.
12:41He never cried out.
12:42Even with his last breath, he was still trying to protect me.
12:45The snow turned crimson with his blood.
12:48I held his broken body and cried until my throat bled.
12:52I was only 16 years old.
12:54No parents.
12:56No family.
12:57No pack.
12:57No pack.
13:03You deserved it.
13:04If you hadn't protected the bastard who defiled purebloods, would you have suffered this punishment?
13:09She still wants sympathy.
13:12Sophia had it much worse.
13:15Lone wolf.
13:18Lena, let's race and see who runs faster.
13:25Hurry up, little sister.
13:38Mama.
13:42Mama.
13:43Did you catch the killer?
13:46Please.
13:47Have you found any clues about the murderer?
13:52Grell Village was remote and isolated.
13:56We had no magical surveillance.
13:59My stone cave was far from others.
14:02No one knew who had followed Sophia that day.
14:05Only I knew the truth of what happened.
14:08The memory continued playing.
14:12After our playful time in the snow,
14:15the screen flickered again.
14:17I was standing outside my cave.
14:20In my hand was a small jar of evening primos honey balm.
14:24A gift from Sophia.
14:27She had once told me.
14:31I gathered this in the Spinal Ridge Mountains.
14:34I almost got captured by eagle shifters.
14:37I made it specially for you, Lena.
14:40The next second, I turned around and threw the jar into a mountain crease.
14:48The watching wolves exploded with rage.
14:51She actually threw away the bomb.
14:53Sophia risked her life to make.
14:54That purebred wolf risked everything for that medicine.
14:57And she won't even look at it.
14:59So fake.
15:00Sophia loved her so much.
15:01But she's completely heartless.
15:03Lone wolves really have no family bonds.
15:06Torches rose higher.
15:08The angry roars shook the earth.
15:11Damien stood in front of me without saying a word.
15:15Of course he knew why I had thrown away that jar.
15:18He remembered clearly.
15:20Our foster mother had once held his hand and said,
15:27Lena will suffocate if she touches evening primon.
15:32You must protect her.
15:34That time I accidentally ate the flower petals.
15:37My lips turned purple.
15:39I stopped breathing three times.
15:41It was Damien who rushed into the blizzard
15:43in the middle of the night.
15:45He searched three entire mountains
15:47to find the antidote.
15:49When he carried me back to the village,
15:52his knees were frozen raw.
15:54Blood seeped into the snow.
15:57But now he said nothing.
16:02He let the wolves curse me.
16:10The wolves below roared like a tsunami.
16:13They waved their torches high.
16:15Sparks flying onto the platform.
16:18Alpha!
16:19Continue!
16:20We want to see the killer!
16:23Damien raised his hand coldly.
16:25He nodded to the soul mace.
16:28Increase the soul vision intensity.
16:30I want to see the memories from that night
16:32at Black Pine Forest.
16:36The soul major gritted his teeth
16:38and pushed the energy lever forward.
16:41The metal needles suddenly pierced three inches deeper.
16:44They were straight to the core of my soul.
16:46My entire body convulsed violently.
16:47A scream tore through my throat.
16:49The soul vibration felt like razor blades
16:51turning inside my brain.
16:52Blood red light exploded before my eyes.
16:54Memory fragments began to flash across the screen.
16:59The classroom.
17:00A small hut surrounded by earth walls.
17:04A bonfire burned in the center.
17:07Sophia, Damien, and I sat in a circle.
17:10She used her claws to tear apart the roasted deer leg.
17:14She placed the most tender piece in my hand.
17:17Lena needs to grow.
17:19She must eat more.
17:20I looked up at her and smiled.
17:23She smiled back.
17:25The scene shifted.
17:27By the stream.
17:30My foot slipped and I fell into the icy water.
17:34The cold instantly froze my breath.
17:39She didn't even have time to shift into wolf form.
17:42She jumped to the water and grabbed my collar with her teeth.
17:45She dragged me to shore with pure strength.
17:49After we reached the bank, she was soaked through.
17:52Her wolf fur was frozen with ice.
17:54She shook so hard she could barely stand.
17:57I held her and cried.
17:59But she laughed and said,
18:01Silly little sister, watch where you step next time.
18:10Please, Mountain God, let me stay with Sophia and Damien forever.
18:15Live and die together.
18:17Never betray each other.
18:19Never betray each other.
18:45Never betray each other.
19:07Sophia, why did you kill yourself?
19:10Why?
19:21She looks really suffering, but she still won't speak.
19:26Five years now, she'd rather let herself rot than tell us.
19:30Crocodile tears.
19:48He pointed at me, his knuckles white with rage.
19:51Years ago, little Aiden knelt at your cave door.
19:55His head was bloody from banging against the stone.
19:58Why didn't you open the door?
20:00Speak up!
20:01Why are you playing dumb now?
20:04No one answered.
20:06All eyes in the square turned towards me.
20:09From the entrance came the sound of small foot depths.
20:15Little Aiden stood there, barefoot.
20:18His eye sockets were sunken deep.
20:21His pupils looked empty and hollow.
20:24He murmured as if talking to ghosts.
20:29Mama, don't be afraid.
20:31Aiden will stay with you.
20:34His voice carried a sob.
20:36His small body trembled constantly.
20:40Suddenly, he lunged at the soul vision device.
20:43His tiny claws pressed against the screen.
20:46He screamed,
20:48Come out!
20:49Mommy, please come out!
20:54The wolves' eyes turned vicious.
20:57Their fury reignited like wildfire.
21:00She won't even save a child!
21:03This kind of lone wolf doesn't deserve to live!
21:06Damien rushed to me in one stride.
21:12He grabbed my shoulders and shook me violently.
21:15His wolf eyes were blood red.
21:18His teeth were clenched tight.
21:21Look!
21:21This is the price of protecting that bastard!
21:25When we found you, you were a wild dog about to freeze to death.
21:28It was you, Lena!
21:30You killed Sophia!
21:32He raised his hand.
21:33He slapped me hard across the face.
21:36The alpha strength made my head snap to the side.
21:39My lips split open immediately.
21:41Blood poured out.
21:43But I did nothing.
21:44I just kept my eyes open.
21:47Tears mixed with blood flowed down my face.
21:53Sophia, I'm sorry.
21:56What good is sorry?
22:00He suddenly roared, but his voice cracked like something had torn it apart.
22:09You know the truth, Lina.
22:11You've known it for five years.
22:14And every single day you chose to protect the monster who destroyed Sophia.
22:18His jaw tightened.
22:19If you just speak, say his name.
22:24Tell me who defiled our sister.
22:27I won't need the device.
22:29I stared up at him.
22:32This boy who had once carried me through a blizzard.
22:35Who had searched three mountains for an antidote when I stopped breathing.
22:41The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare.
22:46He was still wearing the same face.
22:49But the warmth behind it had frozen solid.
22:52I can't tell the truth.
22:54My silence told him my answer.
22:59Memory flashed back.
23:01Five years ago in the cave.
23:02He froze.
23:03I was curled in the corner holding Fenric in my arms.
23:05My head was bleeding.
23:07Damien burst in, carrying a wooden club.
23:09His eyes were red with rage.
23:10I looked up at him.
23:11My lips trembled.
23:12Damien, please trust me.
23:14I can't tell.
23:15Can't tell?
23:17Sophia is dead!
23:19And you're still protecting that bastard who defiled purebloods?
23:23I clung desperately to the hem of his cloak.
23:26My fingers turning white from how hard I gripped him.
23:30My voice was harcy, barely audible.
23:33Damien, just trust me once.
23:36I can't speak.
23:38I really can't.
23:39He roughly tore my hands away, yet instantly seized me by the shoulders and hauled me to my feet.
23:45Our faces were inches apart, and I could clearly see the agony and rage blazing in his bloodshot eyes.
23:52You are a traitor to Grell.
23:54I broke down in quiet sobs, my voice thick with despair.
23:58I'd rather you hate me than lose everything.
24:03Damien, I'm so sorry.
24:06The club came down.
24:08Bones made a dull sound.
24:15Blood flowed from my forehead into my eyes.
24:18Everything turned red.
24:21Before I fell unconscious, I still held Fenerick tightly.
24:26But back then he couldn't see.
24:28He refused to see.
24:30My sleeve was torn, revealing a deep purple mark.
24:33It was the brand of Betrayal Blood Contract.
24:36Only those who had truly sworn a blood oath would be marked with this soul-spearing curse.
24:39And the content of blood oaths could never be spoken aloud.
24:43Damien's hand was still shaking.
24:44That slap seemed to have shattered something inside him, too.
24:47Looking at me barely alive, a single tear suddenly slipped from his eye.
24:51But he immediately wiped it away.
24:53His wolf eyes frozen again, like black iron.
24:56He stared at me, word by word.
24:58Until I find that bastard who defiled pure bloods.
25:01I will block his.
25:02I will never stop.
25:04When I find him, you and him will go to hell together.
25:12But her body is too weak.
25:14If we extract more from her soul-core, it might shatter and kill her.
25:38I will never stop.
25:56Continue.
26:08Little Aiden suddenly screamed.
26:11Stop torturing Aunt Leah!
26:13She'll die!
26:14He rushed forward.
26:16His tiny body crashed against the protective barrier.
26:19But the pack members grabbed him and pulled him back.
26:23Don't go soft!
26:25Someone roared angrily.
26:27We must find the killer!
26:29Sophia cannot die in vain!
26:31The soul-vision device rumbled.
26:33The metal needles pressed down again.
26:35They pierced three inches deep.
26:37My consciousness felt like it was being torn to shreds.
26:41Screams burst uncontrollably from my throat.
26:46They echoed across the snowy plains.
26:49Damien rushed toward me.
26:50His eyes were blood, red.
26:52He roared like a wounded beast.
26:55Lena!
26:56Who is worth protecting like this?
26:58Tell me!
26:59He suddenly collapsed.
27:01He threw himself against my shoulder.
27:04His body shook violently.
27:06Tears rolled down.
27:08They dripped onto my blood-stained hands.
27:14We're supposed to be blood siblings.
27:16He choked out.
27:17His voice was broken.
27:18How could you protect someone else?
27:22And abandon Sophia?
27:24My heart suddenly trembled.
27:26As if stabbed by some sleeping memory.
27:30Intinctively, I wanted to raise my hand.
27:32I wanted to wipe to wipe away that tear for him.
27:37But in that instant, my defenses loosened.
27:41The memory I had sealed with a blood oath finally broke free.
27:45The screen flickered violently.
27:50Look!
27:50It's the crime scene!
27:53The image appeared.
27:56Black pine forest under a blood moon.
27:59I stood at the edge of the ice lake.
28:01In my hand was animal skin soaked with herbs.
28:04My voice trembled.
28:06Sophia?
28:06Is that you?
28:09Wind and snow suddenly rose.
28:11Snow mist filled the air.
28:16A black shadow swept across the lake.
28:18I cried out in alarm.
28:19My feet slipped.
28:20I fell into the snow.
28:21That current worded in a black wolf skin cloak with silver trim.
28:24There was a clear tear on the back.
28:26But in the blink of an eye, the figure vanished into darkness.
28:29Damien stared at the screen with dilated pupils.
28:33The soul magus backed away in fear.
28:36The face!
28:38Why can't we see the face?
28:40He sist.
28:43Because she never saw the killer's face.
28:48The wind and snow were too heavy.
28:49The distance was too far.
28:52Even wolf night vision failed.
28:54This is what she truly saw.
28:58Damien's entire body shook.
29:00His breathing stopped.
29:02Impossible!
29:04Sophia's suicide note was very clear!
29:07She knew who it was!
29:10He whirled toward me.
29:12His gaze was like a knife.
29:13But when it touched my pale face, doubt flickered for a moment.
29:17That doubt was immediately crushed by cruelty.
29:19You must be hiding memories.
29:21You're blocking the soul vision device!
29:23He growled.
29:24He shoved the soul sace aside.
29:26He lunged at the control panel.
29:28His fingers slammed the deep extraction button.
29:30Today, I will drag out the killer.
29:32The soul vision device's power surged.
29:35The metal needles completely penetrated the soul core.
29:41Agony exploded like thunder.
29:43My vision went black.
29:45I nearly fainted.
29:46Just as my consciousness was about to shatter,
29:49the scene changed abruptly.
29:52No longer Black Pine Forest,
29:53but Grill Villages Memorial Ceremony.
29:57In the center of the snow,
29:59a bonfire burned.
30:04Young Damien knelt before the fire.
30:07He wore black mourning clothes.
30:10His expression was wooden.
30:13My foster mother, the former Luna,
30:15slowly held up a black wolfskin cloak.
30:19On the back of the cloak,
30:21clearly a tear.
30:24Silver trim glinted coldly in the firelight.
30:28Damien froze in place.
30:33His pupils trembled.
30:37What's happening?
30:39Why is the former Alpha's soul return ceremony suddenly appearing?
30:48Why didn't they do that stuff?
30:53What are you trying to do?
30:59The werewolves around whispered among themselves.
31:02Their voices scraped across my eardrums like knives.
31:06I remember.
31:07The former Alpha accidentally fell into the silver mine
31:10and died the day after Sophia's suicide.
31:12What does this memory have to do with Lena?
31:14An elderly gray wolf sneered coldly.
31:17What else could it be?
31:19Lena hates that Damien broke her head
31:21and drove her out of the wolf den back then.
31:24Now she's deliberately releasing this memory.
31:27She just wants to make the Alpha suffer.
31:30How vicious.
31:31Someone immediately echoed.
31:32She's settling old scores,
31:34trying to destroy the Alpha's dignity.
31:35What does she think she is?
31:37Without bloodline,
31:37her father was a thief who poached on clan territory.
31:39Her mother went mad and burned herself.
31:41Her whole family, though dead.
31:42She's a disaster who brings death to her relative.
31:45Damien's face was ashen.
31:47His wolf eyes were crimson as if soaked in blood.
31:50I leaned weakly against the metal chair
31:51and managed to lift my head to look at him.
31:53At night, your,
31:54my scenes felt as if it were being tightly squeezed.
31:56Have you seen the darkness?
31:58I part my lips,
31:59but only coughed up a healthful blood.
32:03You think showing me my father's funeral will break me?
32:07That you can get revenge for what I did to you back then?
32:10You're wrong!
32:12It's impossible!
32:13He pointed at the image in the firelight and hissed.
32:17My father was the greatest Alpha of Grell.
32:20He ruled over seven mountain territories.
32:23He was revered by millions of clan members.
32:27What are you?
32:29His saliva splattered on my face.
32:31Your rogue wolf foster father was a thief.
32:35Your foster mother was a madwoman.
32:38And you...
32:39He grinned his teeth word by word.
32:42You're just a lowly, selfish, lone wolf bastard.
32:49I sat in the metal chair.
32:52The curses lashed my body like whips.
32:56My nails dug into my palms.
32:59My lips were bitten bloody by my teeth.
33:02Blood dripped down my chin.
33:06Just as he finished roaring the last sentence,
33:09the soul vision device scream flickered.
33:11The image changed.
33:13The wolf pack cried out in unison.
33:16What is that?
33:18That is...
33:19Isn't that the cloak worn by the killer who defiled Sophia?
33:22In the image,
33:23the former Luna stood before the bonfire.
33:26In her hands,
33:27she held a black cloak with silver trim.
33:29The tear on the back was clearly visible.
33:33Damien below the platform seemed nailed in place.
33:35His face was pale as snow.
33:37His lips trembled.
33:38He stepped back step by step.
33:42Young Damien knelt beside her.
33:44Tears burst from his eyes.
33:45Mother,
33:46this cloak is torn.
33:47That was left from when father fought with rogue wolves last time.
33:50Luna trembled as she touched the silver trim.
33:52Her voice was broken.
33:53Your father said
33:54he would let me mend it when he returned.
33:56But he can never come back.
33:57Little Damien buried his face in the cloak.
34:00He sobbed uncontrollably.
34:01I promised before.
34:03When I grew up,
34:04I would give him the best wolf skin cloak.
34:06But he could never wear it again.
34:08He wailed.
34:09His body shook violently like a young beast with a torn heart.
34:13Finally,
34:13with trembling hands,
34:15he threw that cloak
34:17into the fire.
34:19Flames roared up.
34:21They illuminated his wolf face,
34:24covered with tears.
34:26The soul magic gritted his teeth
34:27and called up comparison images.
34:29The screen split in two.
34:31Left,
34:31at the soul return ceremony,
34:33the former alpha's cloak.
34:34The tear on the back was L-shaped.
34:36The edge was burned by silver,
34:38left unique patterns.
34:39Right,
34:39at the black pine forest crime scene,
34:41the black shadow's cloak.
34:42The same tear,
34:44the same silver burn.
34:45This is impossible.
34:47Absolutely impossible.
34:49He murmured.
34:50His voice shook.
34:52That cloak.
34:53How could it be the same as the one worn by that bastard
34:56who defiled purebloods?
34:58It's not,
34:58it can't be the same one!
35:07All werewolves gasped.
35:09Identical.
35:10Damien staggered backward.
35:16No.
35:18Impossible.
35:20How could father?
35:22The platform below exploded.
35:24The former alpha defiled Sophia.
35:26He personally said she wasn't his biological daughter.
35:28He used his billy with Victor Ford.
35:30Sophia knew the jest half right.
35:31That's why she wrote the suicide note and killed the chief.
35:33But she couldn't speak.
35:34If she did,
35:35it would be treason.
35:35It blinks the Dunder family.
35:37Little Aiden suddenly cried heartbreakingly.
35:40Aunt Lena,
35:41this isn't true,
35:42right?
35:42Grandfather wouldn't hurt Mama.
35:44He loved Mama the most.
35:46He rushed forward.
35:47His small claws desperately grabbed my clothes.
35:50His nails broke,
35:51but he wouldn't let go.
35:52Damien's knees went weak.
35:53He collapsed in the snow.
35:56He held his head in his hands.
35:58His voice was broken.
36:01No.
36:03Impossible.
36:05Father wasn't like that.
36:09Just then,
36:11the soul vision device flickered again.
36:16Five years ago.
36:18Blood moon night.
36:21The former alpha stumbled back to the village.
36:28He stumbled unsteadily,
36:31his eyes bloodshot
36:32and his breathing ramped and frantic,
36:34as if he had lost his way entirely.
36:37Hidden behind a tree,
36:38I watched with a pounding heart.
36:41He had clearly meant to head toward his quarters.
36:44Yet he suddenly turned
36:46and rushed
36:47straight towards Sophia's place.
36:53Sophia.
36:54My good daughter.
36:56He reached out his claws
36:58and touched Sophia's face.
36:59His fingertips slid across her lips.
37:01His voice was gentle,
37:03but carried an eerie tremble.
37:05Do you know?
37:06You're not my biological daughter.
37:12Sophia's face in the memory went pale.
37:15She stepped back in horror.
37:17Father, what are you saying?
37:18The former alpha's voice
37:20turned cold and predatory.
37:22Don't call me father.
37:24You're just an orphan I picked up.
37:27I raised you,
37:29fed you,
37:29gave you everything.
37:30Now it's time for you
37:32to repay me.
37:36No!
37:38Sophia shook her head frantically,
37:41but he grabbed her wrist roughly.
37:44His claws dug into her skin.
37:49The image stopped abruptly here,
37:52but all the werewolves understood
37:54what happened next.
37:56Moon Madness Cross.
37:59The village elder's voice trembled.
38:01His fingertips shook
38:02as he pointed at the screen.
38:04That's the effect
38:05of Moon Madness Cross poisoning.
38:09After taking it,
38:10wolf nature increases rightfully,
38:13completely losing all reason.
38:15The former alpha
38:16was actually the killer
38:17who defiled purebloods.
38:19The truth cut open their chests
38:21like a silver blade,
38:22instantly igniting the entire venue.
38:24The truth sliced through everyone's hearts
38:26like a silver blade,
38:28instantly sending the entire square
38:30into an uproar.
38:31For a few breathless moments,
38:33the square fell dead silent.
38:35Then a roar of fury erupted
38:37like an avalanche.
38:38Five long years!
38:40We cursed Lena!
38:41For five years!
38:42While the real monster
38:44was laid to rest
38:45with honor and peace!
38:47A she-wolf at the front
38:48stepped forward.
38:49Her claws bared sharply.
38:51She bore all the guilt alone
38:53just to protect Damien.
38:54What a poor, pitiful child!
38:57Angry voices rose
38:58one after another,
38:59filled with grief
39:00and bitter resentment.
39:05Damien!
39:05You put your own foster sister
39:08on trial!
39:09You knew she was protecting you,
39:11yet you treated her this way!
39:13What a hypocrite!
39:15I lay limp in the metal chair.
39:16My vision blurred,
39:17yet I could still hear
39:18every word around me.
39:19A heavy tightness
39:20settled in my chest,
39:22not from the searing pain
39:23of the silver needles in my head,
39:24but from watching the crowd
39:25who once hated me
39:26now turn their anger
39:28entirely against him.
39:29Damien stood rooted
39:30to the spot in the snow,
39:32his face as pale
39:33as bleached bone.
39:35A young warrior wolf
39:36pointed straight at him.
39:38You return as the mighty alpha
39:39spouting words of justice,
39:41yet the great alpha
39:42is nothing but the spawn
39:43of a monster!
39:44Another voice shouted sharply.
39:46Amid the chaos,
39:47long, suspicious voices
39:49also cut through the crowd.
39:50Wait, she stayed silent
39:52all these years
39:52just to keep her foster brother
39:53in power.
39:54They're nothing but
39:55two of a kind!
39:55She shielded the criminal!
39:57She helped cover up
39:59his crime from the very start!
40:01Aiden pressed his small body
40:02tightly against my leg,
40:04trembling harder than ever.
40:06He turned and shouted
40:07through tears at the crowd.
40:09Shut your mouth!
40:10Aunt Lena is nothing like that!
40:13She used to be
40:14such a kind person!
40:16Damien stared at me,
40:18his eyes bloodshot,
40:20his lips kept trembling,
40:21yet no sound came out.
40:23The proud, powerful alpha
40:25who had once marched in
40:27ready to cast me into hell
40:28now stood shaking
40:29like a helpless young cub.
40:34Damien was like
40:35being struck by lightning.
40:37He staggered back,
40:38then suddenly turned
40:40and grabbed my shoulders,
40:41shaking frantically.
40:43Impossible!
40:44My father's Grell's hero!
40:46He taught me to protect
40:48purebloods!
40:49How could he do
40:50such a thing?!
40:51His eyes were blood-red,
40:53veins bulged
40:54at his temples.
40:55He lunged
40:56at the Soul Grey.
41:00You altered the memories,
41:02didn't you?
41:03This isn't real!
41:05Turn it off!
41:08The Soulmasian
41:09knelled on the ground,
41:10trembling.
41:11Memories
41:12cannot be forged.
41:14All wolf pupils
41:15have confirmed
41:16completely authentic.
41:20Damien roared.
41:22He turned and smashed
41:23the Soulvision device
41:24violently.
41:24Metal fragments
41:25scattered everywhere.
41:26Sparks cattled
41:27and exploded.
41:28Snowflakes fell
41:29from his silver armor.
41:30His wolf ears
41:31drooped completely
41:31for the first time.
41:32His usually dignified
41:34wolf eyes
41:34were now bloodshot,
41:35filled only with terror
41:36and collapse.
41:37He stumbled back
41:38to my side.
41:39I was still collapsed
41:39in the metal chair,
41:41barely breathing.
41:44He stumbled back
41:45to my side.
41:46I was still collapsed
41:48in the metal chair,
41:49barely breathing.
41:50He tremblingly removed
41:52the deformed helmet
41:53from my head.
41:54His wolf claws
41:55scratched across my cheek,
41:57leaving bloody marks.
41:59Lena, wake up!
42:01Tell me this isn't true!
42:02Father isn't the killer!
42:03You're lying to me, right?
42:04Please, say something!
42:06I forced my eyes
42:07to flutter open a crack.
42:09My throat burned
42:10and stung as if raw
42:11and scraped by silver,
42:13blood subtly tickling
42:14from the corner of my lips.
42:16Seeing his broken,
42:17hollow look,
42:18a sharp ache
42:19twisted violently
42:20in my heart.
42:21Damien,
42:23I'm so sorry.
42:24I breathed in a faint whisper,
42:26my voice so frail
42:26it was nearly swallowed
42:27by the wind.
42:28I couldn't keep the secret.
42:29I tried so hard,
42:31but the device
42:31dragged everything out
42:32against my will.
42:33I'm sorry.
42:34I never wanted you
42:35to learn the truth like this.
42:36My fingers twitched
42:37weakly on the armrest.
42:38I longed to reach up
42:40and touch his face,
42:41yet I did not even have
42:42the strength to lift my arm.
42:43I'm sorry you had
42:44to witness all this.
42:46Climbed so high
42:46to claim the Alpha Throne,
42:48only for it all
42:48to end like this.
42:50You lost Sophia,
42:51and now you've lost
42:51your faith in Father too.
42:53I never wished
42:54to see you suffer so deeply.
42:55My words pierced him
42:56like a blade.
42:57He jolted violently,
42:59his bloodshot eyes
43:00instantly glimmering
43:01with tears.
43:02He dropped to his knees
43:03right there amid the snow
43:04and scattered metal shards,
43:06trembling hands
43:07tightly graphing my shoulders.
43:13Just then,
43:15slow, heavy footsteps
43:16came from the square entrance.
43:19Former Luna Ella,
43:20wearing a faded
43:21animal skin cloak,
43:23walked step by step
43:24into the crowd.
43:27Damien.
43:28Her voice sounded like
43:29it had been soaked
43:30in snow water,
43:32bone-chillingly cold.
43:34Lena didn't lie.
43:36Those memories
43:37are all real.
43:39The entire venue
43:40fell dead silent.
43:41Even the wind stopped.
43:43Damien's whole body froze.
43:45A broken voice
43:46squeezed from his throat.
43:47Mother,
43:48what are you saying?
43:50Ella didn't look at him.
43:52She walked straight to me
43:54and slowly melt down,
43:56pressing her forehead
43:57to the snow,
43:58performing the highest ritual
44:00the wolf crumb reserved
44:01for redeemers.
44:02Lena, I'm sorry.
44:04Her voice was torn,
44:06tears rolling down.
44:08I forced you
44:09to keep this secret.
44:11I made you bear
44:12the blame for five years.
44:14I wept silently.
44:16Five years of loneliness,
44:18injustice,
44:19and nights of being cursed
44:20finally had a response
44:21at this moment.
44:29Back then,
44:30your father
44:30accidentally ate
44:32Moon and Magnus grass
44:33and lost his mind
44:34completely.
44:35Ella choked
44:36each word
44:38like a knife.
44:39He encountered
44:40Sophia in Black Pine Forest
44:41looking for moonflowers.
44:43The pure blood scent
44:43stimulated
44:44his beast nature.
44:47he
44:50did something
44:51unforgivable.
44:53I struggled to sit up
44:54in the torture chair,
44:55my body racked
44:56with searing agony,
44:57yet I forced my
44:58hoarse, broken voice
44:59to speak.
45:00Mother,
45:02please stop.
45:04I beg you,
45:05say no more.
45:05I looked toward Ella
45:06and shook my head gently,
45:08my eyes filled with pleading.
45:09Damien was already
45:10on his knees,
45:11trembling uncontrollably.
45:12If she went into
45:13further detail,
45:13it would be the final blow
45:14that shattered him
45:15completely.
45:16He had only just learned
45:17his own father
45:17was the culprit.
45:18He was in no state
45:19to bear those cruel,
45:20harrowing details.
45:21But Ella fixed
45:22her gaze firmly on me.
45:24Her eyes were
45:25red-rimmed and weary,
45:26yet her resolve
45:27was unstakeling.
45:29Her gaze said it all.
45:31He has to know
45:32the whole truth.
45:33I slumped back
45:34weakly against
45:35the cold metal chair.
45:38My fingers
45:39twitched faintly,
45:40yet I had no strength
45:42left to stop her.
45:47After Sophia's
45:48suicide,
45:49your father went mad.
45:50He held her white wolf fur
45:52all night trembling,
45:53saying he had defiled the clan
45:54and had no face
45:55to see anyone.
45:57Ella looked up,
45:58tears mixing with snow water.
46:00Then his death
46:03wasn't an accident.
46:06Damien's voice shook
46:07beyond recognition.
46:08He jumped off
46:09the silver mine cliff
46:10himself,
46:11a place full of silver sand.
46:12He knew that was
46:12the most painful way
46:13to die.
46:14He said he wanted
46:15to use the most painful
46:16death to atone to Sophia.
46:17Damien stood there stunned,
46:19his body shaking violently,
46:20mummering repeatedly.
46:22Father wasn't a hero.
46:24Father was the killer.
46:26But each word
46:27was like a silver blade
46:28through his heart,
46:29completely tearing him apart.
46:30Why didn't I know?
46:33Why did you lie to me?
46:35Because I wanted you to live.
46:37You are the former Alpha's son.
46:39If the clan knew
46:39your father was the defiler,
46:41you would be stripped
46:41of your identity
46:42and thrown into the
46:43gin mine pit to burn a life.
46:45I could only hide it.
46:46I could only ask Lena
46:48to help me hide it.
46:51Living?
46:54His voice was raw
46:55and shattered.
46:57Mother,
46:59do you truly
47:00call this living?
47:01His legs trembled
47:02as he slowly
47:03forced himself
47:03to his feet.
47:04The blood seeping
47:05from where his claws
47:06had sunk into his thigh
47:07stained the snow
47:07beneath him crimson.
47:08He first looked at me,
47:10then turned his gaze
47:11to Ella.
47:12I hated Leda
47:13for five long years.
47:15For five years
47:15I let the clan
47:16spit insults at her,
47:17pelced her with stones
47:18and I was always one
47:19who forced her
47:19into this cold loneliness.
47:21I was the one
47:21who forced her
47:22into this judgment chair.
47:23Even when her body
47:24was on the verge
47:25of breaking apart,
47:26I still ordered
47:26the soul mace
47:27to dig deeper
47:28into her memories.
47:29His voice cracked
47:30with grief.
47:31And all this time
47:33she was protecting me?
47:36Protecting the son
47:36of the monster
47:37who destroyed Sophia?
47:39He took a step
47:39toward Ella,
47:40then abruptly halted
47:42as if he could not bear
47:43to draw any closer.
47:45I never asked
47:46for this kind of protection.
47:47Never.
47:48If keeping my alpha throne
47:50means Lena had to live
47:50like a stray trapped
47:51in a cave,
47:52endure endless harm alone
47:53and linger under
47:54the shameful name
47:55of traitor,
47:56while I stood proud
47:57and powerful
47:57as alpha outside,
47:58then I want no part
47:59of the throne.
48:00Damien turned
48:01to face me,
48:02Tyr's eyes bloodcast
48:03and filled
48:03with utter despair.
48:04He dropped heavily
48:05to one knee
48:06before the judgment chair,
48:07close enough
48:07that I could see
48:08every tremble
48:09shaking his shoulders.
48:10Lena,
48:10if being alpha
48:11costs you everything
48:12and breaks you completely,
48:13I would rather
48:14renounce my title.
48:15I would rather
48:16bear our father's sins
48:17and burn in the
48:18silver mine pits
48:18than stand here,
48:20knowing I have
48:21irreparably hurt
48:22the only sister
48:23I have left.
48:24I tried to speak,
48:25but only bitter,
48:26metallic blood
48:27welled up in my throat.
48:28My weak fingers
48:29stirred faintly
48:30on the armrest.
48:32Damien seized
48:32my hand at once,
48:33clutching it tightly
48:34as if afraid
48:35I might vanish
48:36if you let go.
48:39She saw the cloaks tear
48:41at the soul return
48:41ceremony and knew
48:42the truth.
48:43I knelt before her
48:44begging her not to speak,
48:45saying you only had me
48:46as family left,
48:47couldn't lose everything.
48:48She agreed,
48:49so readily,
48:50even though she herself
48:51would be beaten to death,
48:52starved to death
48:53in the snowy mountains.
48:54The wolves roared angrily.
48:56You destroyed
48:58Lina's life
48:58for your survival!
49:00She was alone
49:00for five years,
49:02living in a
49:02plague by illness!
49:04Benzil was killed!
49:05Who ever said
49:06a word for her?
49:09Aunt Lina,
49:10I'm sorry.
49:12I hated the wrong person.
49:13Why didn't you
49:14tell me the truth?
49:16Damien collapsed
49:17in the snow,
49:18tears falling like rain.
49:20He finally understood
49:22the person he had hated
49:23for five years
49:24was the only one
49:26who had protected them.
49:27Damien suddenly
49:28scrambled up,
49:29rushed to my side,
49:31carefully lifted me
49:32from the chill,
49:34afraid of causing
49:35me any pain.
49:42I'm sorry,
49:43Lina.
49:44I was wrong.
49:47I shouldn't have
49:48doubted you.
49:49I shouldn't have let you
49:49suffer so much alone.
49:51Damien,
49:53I never hated you.
49:55I just
49:57didn't want you
49:58to suffer too.
49:59Damien kept holding
50:00my hand tight,
50:02his pinky hooked with mine
50:02like we were cubs again.
50:04The square had gone
50:04completely silent.
50:06No more shouting,
50:07no more torches waving.
50:08Even the wind died down.
50:09Everyone just stood there,
50:10watching the alpha
50:11who had come back
50:12to judge me,
50:13now kneeling in the dirt
50:14like a broken wolf.
50:15Some of the older wolves
50:16lowered their heads.
50:17A few she-wolves
50:18wiped their eyes.
50:20Aiden clung to my leg
50:21and wouldn't let go,
50:22his small body shaking
50:23with quiet sobs.
50:25Ella stood a few steps away,
50:27one hand pressed
50:27over her mouth,
50:28tears falling steadily.
50:30I felt my strength
50:31slipping away fast.
50:32The soul core inside me
50:33had turned to dust.
50:35Every breath hurt
50:36more than the last.
50:37My vision kept blurring,
50:38going dark at the edges.
50:39But I could still see
50:40Damien's face clearly,
50:41red eyes,
50:42wet cheeks,
50:43the silver armor now
50:44smeared with my blood
50:45in his own.
50:45I lay in the snow,
50:47the corners of my mouth
50:49slowly curving up.
50:50A bloody tear
50:53slid from the corner
50:54of my eye
50:55and hit the ice
50:56with an almost
50:57inaudible sound.
51:01Damien cried out my name,
51:02his voice torn like
51:03a broken blade in the wind,
51:05but I could barely hear him.
51:06My ears were filled
51:08with the roar
51:08of rushing blood.
51:09The world was ebbing away.
51:11My consciousness sank back,
51:13back to five years ago,
51:14to that terrifyingly
51:15quiet afternoon.
51:16Our foster father
51:17knelt before Sophia,
51:18his claws digging
51:19desperately into the soil,
51:20in his hands
51:21he clutched
51:21several crushed
51:22moonlight grasses.
51:23His voice trembled.
51:24Papa didn't mean to.
51:25Please,
51:26don't tell Damien,
51:28please.
51:29Sophia's whole body shook.
51:30Her pure white wolf fur
51:32stood on end with fear.
51:34She covered her ears tightly,
51:35tears mixed with blood
51:37from the corner of her mouth.
51:38Her screams
51:39nearly tore her throat.
51:41Don't come near me!
51:42Don't come near me!
51:44Then she turned
51:45and ran wildly
51:46like a young deer
51:47burnt by fire.
52:00I hid behind
52:01that crooked pine tree.
52:03My nails dug
52:04into my palms
52:05until they broke.
52:06I felt no pain.
52:08I saw it all.
52:10My mind went blank.
52:11I wanted to chase after her,
52:13but my legs felt like lead.
52:15I was afraid if I spoke,
52:16she would become
52:17even more desperate.
52:17I called to her.
52:19Sophia, wait!
52:20But she in that memory
52:22couldn't hear me.
52:23The snowy forest
52:24blurred and stretched
52:25like a bad dream.
52:26I ran after her white figure,
52:27snow flying into my eyes,
52:29but no matter how fast
52:30I pushed my legs,
52:31the distance only grew.
52:33Sophia's back
52:33stayed far ahead,
52:34her pure white fur
52:36flinkering in and out
52:37of the trees.
52:38Suddenly the scene shifted.
52:39She was standing alone
52:41under a crooked pine,
52:43head lowered,
52:44shoulders shaking.
52:45soft cries came
52:46from her throat.
52:47Blood dripped
52:48from between her legs
52:49into the white snow.
52:51Sophia!
52:52I'm here!
52:53I saw everything!
52:55Come back!
52:56She didn't turn.
52:58The forest twisted again.
53:03The scene changed once more.
53:05Sophia stood right
53:06in front of me,
53:07close enough to touch,
53:08but when I stretched my hand,
53:10her body turned misty.
53:11Sophia!
53:12Don't!
53:12She looked at me
53:14with tears in her eyes
53:16and whispered,
53:17I'm sorry, Lina.
53:19I grabbed at her arm,
53:20but my fingers
53:21passed straight through.
53:23She gave me
53:23one last sad smile,
53:25then turned and ran again
53:26into the swirling snow.
53:28How I wanted to tell her,
53:30don't despair.
53:31We're all here.
53:33You are not alone.
53:34Shh!
53:34If you knew I was always with you,
53:36would you not want to die?
53:38But nothing happened.
53:40I couldn't save her.
53:43That evening,
53:44Damien came running over.
53:46His face still carried a smile.
53:48His wolf tail wagged cheerfully.
53:51He asked me,
53:52Lina,
53:52where did sister go?
53:54Why hasn't she come back
53:55for dinner?
53:56I looked into his clear wolf eyes,
53:58free of any shadow.
54:00My throat felt clamped
54:01by iron tongues.
54:03I couldn't say a word.
54:04I didn't want to hurt him,
54:06but before I could figure out
54:07how to speak,
54:09news of Sophia's death arrived.
54:14Damien threw himself
54:15into my arms,
54:16crying loudly.
54:18Why did she have to die?
54:21Why did she leave us behind?
54:23I held him tightly.
54:25Tears kept flowing,
54:26but I didn't dare speak.
54:28I didn't dare say
54:29it was because of your father.
54:30I didn't dare say
54:32the hero you worship
54:33your whole life
54:34personally destroyed
54:35the sister you loved most.
54:37Later,
54:38I found Ella.
54:39I knelt before her,
54:41trembling as I asked,
54:43what should we do?
54:45They all want to investigate
54:46the truth,
54:47but I'm so afraid.
54:52Lina,
54:52please,
54:53don't say it.
54:55If Damien knows
54:56it was his father,
54:57you'll go mad.
54:59All of Krell will collapse.
55:01Blood defilement,
55:02no one can bear it.
55:03Please.
55:04Please.
55:05I looked at her tearful face.
55:09My heart felt like
55:10it was being torn apart
55:11by wolf fangs
55:12bit by bit.
55:16But in the end,
55:17I just trembled
55:19and nodded.
55:20I promised her
55:21to bear this sin for her,
55:24for Damien,
55:25but Sophia left a suicide note
55:27before she died.
55:28With my name on it,
55:29Lina saw his face.
55:32The werewolf said
55:33I was an accomplish,
55:35a traitor,
55:36a conspirer
55:36in defiling purebloods.
55:38Overnight,
55:39I was exiled.
55:40I became a lone wolf,
55:43living in mountain caves,
55:45surviving by mooring on bones.
55:48No one knew.
55:49My silence wasn't to live.
55:52It was to let Damien live.
55:54After the truth was revealed,
55:56Damien knelt frantically
55:57before the entire clan,
55:59crying and apologizing.
56:01The wolf pack surrounded him,
56:03punching,
56:03kicking,
56:04calling him son of tainted blood.
56:06He didn't dodge.
56:08He let them beat him
56:08until he was dragged
56:09from the square.
56:11But he struggled
56:12to crawl back.
56:13He knelt beside me
56:15and roared at the soul mange.
56:17Save her!
56:19Trade my life
56:20if you have to!
56:21But I couldn't hold on anymore.
56:23My soul core
56:24crumbled to dust.
56:25I had only minutes
56:26left to live.
56:30He knelt before me,
56:32crying and shaking his head.
56:34You did it for me.
56:36You always did it for me,
56:38didn't you?
56:40He grabbed my hand.
56:41His burning tears
56:43crashed onto the back
56:44of my hand like hot coals.
56:46Lina!
56:47Don't go, please!
56:48Don't leave me!
56:50I could hear him,
56:51but I couldn't speak.
56:52Five years.
56:53I lived alone in caves,
56:54plagued by illness,
56:55so hungry I gnawed
56:56on grassroots under the snow.
56:57I endured being cursed
56:59by thousands.
57:00Stones thrown
57:00until my head bled.
57:02I held on until now.
57:03Couldn't say me in two.
57:04Sophia was gone.
57:05I couldn't let him
57:06collapse, too.
57:07I was dying.
57:08I was tired.
57:09I didn't want to
57:10struggle anymore,
57:11but he kept crying.
57:13His earth-shakering sobs
57:14made my heart feel restless.
57:15With my last bit of strength,
57:17I tremblingly raised my hand
57:19and extended my pinky finger,
57:21the sign we use as children
57:22to promise siblings forever.
57:25Damien suddenly froze.
57:26He immediately extended his pinky
57:28and gently hooked mine.
57:29I'm here.
57:30Lina, I'm here.
57:31He sobbed,
57:32his voice broken.
57:34We're siblings.
57:35Siblings forever.
57:36Good siblings,
57:37I said softly.
57:39My voice was like snowflakes
57:40touching ground.
57:41My hand slowly dropped.
57:43My eyelashes closed.
57:44My breathing returned to silence.
57:46Damien wiped his tears
57:47and lifted me.
57:48Step by step,
57:49he walked toward
57:50the moon goddess statue.
57:51He gently placed me
57:52before the stone seat.
57:53With trembling hands,
57:54he arranged the withered
57:55moonlight grass crown
57:56around my ears.
57:57He spoke to the statue
57:58in a low voice.
58:00Moon goddess,
58:01the three of us
58:01are together again.
58:03Sophia,
58:03Lena didn't betray us.
58:05We'll always stay with you.
58:07Wind swept snow
58:07past the statue.
58:09From the distant
58:09black pine forest,
58:10three cubs' clear laughter
58:12seemed to echo.
58:12high,
58:14Good belief for the so-
