Transcript

00:00:00My step-sister 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 visitation.

00:01:02I didn't even have time to react.

00:01:05One 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,

00:01:13it felt like he would crush my bones.

00:01:15Big...

00:01:16Big brother!

00:01:17I looked up and saw his face.

00:01:20That 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, like 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,

00:01:44but 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.

00:02:34Will 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!

00:02:59Ian pulled the door.

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,

00:03:50I wrote a new song for you a few days ago.

00:03:53It's on your piano.

00:03:55I don't need it.

00:03:56Anything you write,

00:03:57I will never use again.

00:03:59There was a heavy thud,

00:04:01Harry moving 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,

00:04:10pressing 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,

00:04:44Ian Haldeman,

00:04:45and the second eldest,

00:04:46Will Haldeman,

00:04:47were holding our stepsister,

00:04:49Lorelai Surridge's hands.

00:04:51In a kind voice,

00:04:52one of my brothers began,

00:04:54Thank goodness we got you to the hospital just in time.

00:04:57Otherwise,

00:04:57it might take you a longer time to recover.

00:04:59Harry Haldeman,

00:05:00my 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

00:05:12while saying that.

00:05:13A maid standing at the side

00:05:15could 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.

00:05:32Why 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.

00:05:39That awful wench must be aware that Lori has a seafood allergy.

00:05:44So,

00:05:44she purposely made that seafood porridge.

00:05:47I thought she was finally going to learn to accept Lori's presence now.

00:05:51It 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,

00:06:10Lori.

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.

00:06:24However,

00:06:25only messages from three days ago

00:06:27and older

00:06:28were shown in our chat history.

00:06:30During 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.

00:06:49I don't want Rebecca to misunderstand me.

00:06:51I just wanted her company.

00:06:53I never meant to take anything away from her.

00:06:55Ian quickly set his phone aside

00:06:57and gently patted Lorelai's head.

00:06:59He replied,

00:07:01Lorelai,

00:07:02you 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.

00:07:17Harry 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 Lorelai,

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,

00:07:33I 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.

00:07:44They couldn't see me crying,

00:07:47they 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.

00:08:07From that moment on,

00:08:08my three brothers poured all their devotion into me.

00:08:11I thought that was forever.

00:08:13I 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

00:08:21with 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

00:08:30at an orphanage to 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.

00:08:38I 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,

00:08:51allowing her to carve away my brother's love for me,

00:08:53one piece at a time.

00:08:56You no longer remember

00:08:57what 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

00:09:18until 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

00:09:36and 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.

00:09:49Will 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,

00:10:06and said something very childish.

00:10:08Rebecca,

00:10:08I'll use all my paints on you

00:10:11and draw a new mom for you,

00:10:13okay?

00:10:14That 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

00:10:22like 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

00:10:28that if I fell asleep,

00:10:30they would disappear too.

00:10:31But I knew they were there,

00:10:32because all night long,

00:10:34Ian gently patted my back,

00:10:36just like mom used to do.

00:10:40Big brother is here.

00:10:41He 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.

00:11:07Will would suddenly stop practicing songs

00:11:10late at night

00:11:10and 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.

00:11:16You know me.

00:11:18You're the first person

00:11:19to hear this song,

00:11:20little sister.

00:11:20I would always clap

00:11:21and say it was beautiful.

00:11:23Harry would show me his paintings

00:11:24one by one

00:11:25and let me choose my favorite,

00:11:27whichever one I liked.

00:11:28He would hang it

00:11:29in the most visible spot

00:11:30in the living room.

00:11:31Little sister's taste

00:11:32is the best.

00:11:33Those days,

00:11:34I thought it would never change.

00:11:36I thought my brothers

00:11:37would love me forever.

00:11:38But fate told me,

00:11:40nothing lasts forever.

00:11:42It was the third week

00:11:43after Lorelai came to our home.

00:11:45I still remember the sun

00:11:46was shining brightly that day.

00:11:48Lorelai took my hand

00:11:49and said,

00:11:50Sister, let's play together.

00:11:52I was very happy.

00:11:53I thought she was finally

00:11:55willing to accept me.

00:11:56She picked up

00:11:57a limited edition doll

00:11:58that Ian had brought back

00:12:00from abroad for me.

00:12:01I had never even opened it,

00:12:02but when Lorelai said

00:12:03she 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

00:12:10to 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

00:12:26into Ian's arms,

00:12:28sobbing.

00:12:29Sister said,

00:12:30I didn't deserve to play

00:12:31with 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

00:12:41with disappointment

00:12:42I had never seen before.

00:12:44This is your favorite doll.

00:12:45If you didn't want

00:12:46to let her play with it,

00:12:47you could have told me.

00:12:48Why did you smash it?

00:12:50Big brother,

00:12:51I didn't...

00:12:52Enough!

00:12:52Ian picked up Lorelai

00:12:54and left without looking back.

00:12:56Lori, don't cry.

00:12:58Big brother will buy you

00:12:59a new one.

00:13:00I stood there frozen,

00:13:02still holding

00:13:02the glass of juice.

00:13:04From that day on,

00:13:05Ian's eyes toward me

00:13:06carried something new.

00:13:08It wasn't hatred.

00:13:09It was disappointment.

00:13:11Something even more

00:13:12terrifying than hatred.

00:13:14It was the night

00:13:15before Will was supposed

00:13:16to release his new song.

00:13:18I knew he was

00:13:18under a lot of pressure.

00:13:20Several new songs

00:13:21had been rejected

00:13:21by the producers.

00:13:23I felt sorry for him.

00:13:24That night,

00:13:25I stayed up all night

00:13:27and finished the harmony

00:13:28for his unfinished tracks.

00:13:29I listened and revised them

00:13:31over and over

00:13:32until dawn.

00:13:32The next morning,

00:13:34I handed him

00:13:34the USB drive.

00:13:36Second brother,

00:13:37this is the harmony

00:13:38I 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?

00:13:54All the files

00:13:56on the USB are gone.

00:13:57I have to submit

00:13:59the song tomorrow.

00:14:00Do you know that?

00:14:02That's impossible.

00:14:03I clearly-

00:14:04Enough!

00:14:05Will smacked

00:14:05the USB drive

00:14:06on the ground.

00:14:07The pieces scattered

00:14:08everywhere.

00:14:09You're jealous of Lorea.

00:14:12Jealous that mom

00:14:13and dad love her.

00:14:14So you deliberately

00:14:15ruined my song.

00:14:17Right?

00:14:18Lorelai stood at the door,

00:14:19eyes red.

00:14:21Sister,

00:14:22I'm sorry.

00:14:23I shouldn't have told

00:14:25second brother,

00:14:26but you really shouldn't

00:14:27have deleted those files.

00:14:28I looked at her in shock.

00:14:30Later,

00:14:30I found out that

00:14:31while I was in the bathroom,

00:14:32Lorelai had formatted

00:14:34the USB drive

00:14:35and then told Will

00:14:36I had tampered

00:14:36with his computer.

00:14:37Will believed her.

00:14:39He always believed her.

00:14:42The limited edition

00:14:44paintbrush Harry loved most

00:14:45was something I spent

00:14:47three months of my allowance

00:14:48to buy from abroad.

00:14:49I knew Harry had been

00:14:51looking for it

00:14:51for a long time.

00:14:52I placed it

00:14:54on his desk

00:14:55with a note.

00:14:56Third brother

00:14:56always likes

00:14:57beautiful colors.

00:14:58This brush is for you.

00:15:00I hope you stay

00:15:01happy forever.

00:15:02The next day,

00:15:03Harry came to me

00:15:04with a dark face.

00:15:08Rebecca,

00:15:08why did you ruin

00:15:09my paintbrush?

00:15:10What?

00:15:11That limited edition brush!

00:15:13I searched for so long

00:15:15to get it!

00:15:16And you broke it!

00:15:19I didn't.

00:15:21That brush was bought

00:15:22by me!

00:15:23Enough!

00:15:24Harry threw the broken

00:15:25brush in front of me.

00:15:26Lorelai told me

00:15:27everything!

00:15:29She essa we ose nay

00:15:30and owe my studio

00:15:31and deliberate tell

00:15:32snapped the tip.

00:15:34Lorelai stood at the door,

00:15:35head lowered.

00:15:36Sister,

00:15:37I know you wanted

00:15:38that brush too,

00:15:39but you shouldn't

00:15:41have broken it.

00:15:42That brush was a gift

00:15:43for you.

00:15:44I spent three months

00:15:45of allowance.

00:15:47What are you talking about?

00:15:48That was Lorelai

00:15:49who bought it for me.

00:15:51She saved up

00:15:52for a long time.

00:15:53How long are you

00:15:54going to keep lying?

00:15:55Harry looked at me

00:15:56with disappointment

00:15:57for a whole month.

00:15:58During that month,

00:15:59he wouldn't sit

00:16:00with me at meals,

00:16:02wouldn't ride

00:16:02in the same car,

00:16:03and wouldn't even

00:16:04look at me.

00:16:05And I never had

00:16:06a chance to explain.

00:16:09I drifted through

00:16:10the villa.

00:16:11No one could see me.

00:16:12No door could stop me.

00:16:14I passed through

00:16:15walls,

00:16:15stairs,

00:16:16and rooms

00:16:17I was once

00:16:18forbidden to enter.

00:16:19Finally,

00:16:20I returned

00:16:21to 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

00:16:28homework was still

00:16:29on the desk,

00:16:30and the calendar

00:16:31was still marked.

00:16:32It was Ian's birthday.

00:16:34I had planned

00:16:34a surprise for him.

00:16:36I sat on the bed

00:16:37and reached out

00:16:37to touch the doll.

00:16:39My fingers

00:16:39passed right through it.

00:16:40I couldn't even

00:16:41touch a doll anymore.

00:16:42You know what?

00:16:43I used to be

00:16:44really afraid

00:16:45of dying.

00:16:46When mom and dad

00:16:47left,

00:16:47I was scared

00:16:48that if I died

00:16:49one day,

00:16:49my brothers

00:16:50would be sad.

00:16:51The doll

00:16:52remained silent.

00:16:53Now I know

00:16:54they won't be sad

00:16:55because they won't

00:16:57even notice

00:16:57I'm gone.

00:16:58I smiled.

00:16:59My laughter

00:16:59was hollow,

00:17:00echoing in

00:17:01the empty room.

00:17:04I had treated

00:17:05Lorelai

00:17:06with nothing

00:17:06but sincerity

00:17:07ever since

00:17:08she came

00:17:08to our home.

00:17:09However,

00:17:10she lied

00:17:10to my brothers

00:17:11and slandered

00:17:12me time

00:17:12and time

00:17:13again,

00:17:13making my brothers

00:17:14grow distant

00:17:15from me gradually.

00:17:16It was the same

00:17:17at that time.

00:17:18My brothers

00:17:18locked me

00:17:19inside the tiny,

00:17:20narrow cellar

00:17:21without giving me

00:17:22a chance

00:17:22to explain myself.

00:17:23I pushed

00:17:23against the door

00:17:24with all my might,

00:17:25yet I could only

00:17:26feel the air

00:17:27inside the cellar

00:17:28growing thin.

00:17:28I pounded

00:17:29on the cellar's door

00:17:30and begged

00:17:31my brothers

00:17:32desperately

00:17:32to let me out.

00:17:33Yet,

00:17:34my brothers

00:17:35scolded me

00:17:35expressionlessly

00:17:36instead.

00:17:37What are you

00:17:37shouting now for?

00:17:38You got what

00:17:39you deserved.

00:17:40If it weren't

00:17:41for what you did,

00:17:42Lorelai

00:17:43wouldn't have had

00:17:43to suffer

00:17:44from an allergic reaction.

00:17:45It's because

00:17:46we've been too nice

00:17:47to you that you

00:17:47keep bullying Lorenai.

00:17:48You should stay

00:17:49in there and repent

00:17:50for your mistakes.

00:17:51Will tied the chains

00:17:52around the door

00:17:53himself,

00:17:54whereas Harry

00:17:55placed a heavy object

00:17:56to block the door.

00:17:57They removed

00:17:58the slightest bit

00:17:58of possibility

00:17:59I had at self-preservation.

00:18:01My dear brothers,

00:18:02please don't lock

00:18:03me in here.

00:18:04I'm the most

00:18:05obedient sister

00:18:06you could ever have.

00:18:07Ian's footstep posed

00:18:08as if he had heard

00:18:09my desperate cry.

00:18:10A surge of joy

00:18:12rose in my heart.

00:18:13I pressed myself

00:18:14against the door,

00:18:15watching as Ian's hand

00:18:16reached toward the lock.

00:18:18Lorelai tugged

00:18:19Ian's sleeve

00:18:20and said pitifully,

00:18:21Don't be angry.

00:18:23Ian,

00:18:23it's my fault

00:18:24for being allergic

00:18:25to seafood.

00:18:26I'm sure Rebecca

00:18:27didn't do it on purpose.

00:18:29You shouldn't blame

00:18:29her anymore.

00:18:31Ian's expression

00:18:31grew even colder

00:18:32and harder.

00:18:33He lowered his hand

00:18:35and at that same moment,

00:18:37my heart turned cold

00:18:38as well.

00:18:39He replied frigidly,

00:18:41We've been too lenient

00:18:41on that awful wench.

00:18:44That's why she's grown

00:18:45to be so rude

00:18:46and overbearing.

00:18:47Will's eyes blazed

00:18:48with anger.

00:18:48she's become more

00:18:49and more narrow-minded

00:18:50with age.

00:18:51If it weren't for her,

00:18:54Lori wouldn't have ended

00:18:55up looking like this.

00:18:57Lorelai purposely

00:18:58showed the brothers

00:18:59the part of her body

00:19:00where the symptoms

00:19:01of her allergic reaction

00:19:02had not gone away.

00:19:04There were still

00:19:05some red marks

00:19:05on her skin

00:19:06with a pained look

00:19:07in his eyes.

00:19:09Harry lightly caressed

00:19:10the part of her skin

00:19:10that had those

00:19:11faint red marks.

00:19:12Does it still hurt?

00:19:15Lori.

00:19:16Lori lowered her head.

00:19:18Her voice was shaking a lot

00:19:20as though she would

00:19:21burst into tears

00:19:22at any moment.

00:19:23It doesn't hurt.

00:19:25It doesn't hurt at all.

00:19:28Will's anger

00:19:29boiled over.

00:19:30He exploded.

00:19:31Lori's life

00:19:32might have been in jeopardy

00:19:33if we hadn't arrived

00:19:34at the hospital

00:19:34any later than we did.

00:19:36Yet,

00:19:36that girl hasn't sent

00:19:38a message to ask about her

00:19:39after so many days

00:19:40have passed.

00:19:40She hasn't shown

00:19:41any signs of repentance.

00:19:43Ian backed the question.

00:19:45Get that girl here

00:19:45to apologize to Lori

00:19:46right now.

00:19:47We'll see if she'll

00:19:48still stubbornly refuse

00:19:49to apologize to her.

00:19:50Will added,

00:19:51She's only been able

00:19:52to act stubbornly

00:19:53because she has our backing.

00:19:55Now that she's done

00:19:56something wrong,

00:19:57she has to be punished

00:19:58accordingly.

00:19:59Harry turned his eyes

00:20:00to the maid

00:20:01and barked,

00:20:01Why are you still

00:20:02standing there?

00:20:03Hurry and bring

00:20:04that wench here now!

00:20:06Also,

00:20:06bring us our wits.

00:20:08If it weren't because

00:20:09Rebecca added seafood

00:20:10into the porridge

00:20:11intentionally,

00:20:11Lori wouldn't have had

00:20:12to stay at the hospital

00:20:13for three days.

00:20:14It's time we teach her

00:20:16the proper marrows

00:20:17and etiquette

00:20:17a howden should have.

00:20:19The maid dared not

00:20:20defy my brother's orders.

00:20:21She hurried off

00:20:22to where I was

00:20:23confined right away.

00:20:24I let out a bitter trickle.

00:20:26Ian and the others

00:20:27concluded that it was

00:20:28my fault without even

00:20:30investigating the incident.

00:20:32When I was dying,

00:20:33my last shred of

00:20:34consciousness remained

00:20:35on the cellar wall.

00:20:36I used my fingers

00:20:37to write on the wall.

00:20:39There was no light,

00:20:40so I couldn't see

00:20:41what I wrote.

00:20:42I just kept scratching

00:20:44over and over

00:20:44on the dusty surface.

00:20:46Brother.

00:20:48Brother.

00:20:49Brother.

00:20:49I wrote it many,

00:20:51many times.

00:20:52Even when my fingers

00:20:53were worn raw and bleeding,

00:20:54I didn't stop.

00:20:55It was as if writing

00:20:57those words

00:20:57would make them come.

00:20:58But no one came.

00:21:00I curled up in the corner,

00:21:02burying my face

00:21:02in 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.

00:21:16I haven't fallen in love yet.

00:21:17I haven't seen my brothers

00:21:18get 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,

00:21:28with no one to save her.

00:21:30Walking toward death,

00:21:31all alone.

00:21:34Mom.

00:21:34I 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 heartbeat stopped.

00:21:49But my eyes remained open.

00:21:51Open.

00:21:52Staring toward the direction

00:21:54of 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

00:22:04to 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

00:22:14completely extinguished,

00:22:15my final thought was,

00:22:17So this...

00:22:18is what being forgotten

00:22:20feels like?

00:22:21Then,

00:22:22I felt nothing at all.

00:22:25Three days ago,

00:22:26Lorelai wanted to have

00:22:27some porridge.

00:22:29I offered to cook it for her

00:22:30since I wanted to get

00:22:31on her good side.

00:22:32She gave me a packet of seasoning

00:22:34and told me to add it

00:22:36to the porridge.

00:22:37I tasted the porridge

00:22:38when it was done

00:22:38and it was just an ordinary

00:22:40seafood porridge.

00:22:42Yet,

00:22:42I did not expect

00:22:43that it would be

00:22:44an allergen for her.

00:22:46Ian,

00:22:46who was considered an elite

00:22:47in the business circle,

00:22:49could not even tell

00:22:50that this was Lorelai's trick

00:22:51to gain their favor.

00:22:52It just came to show

00:22:53how much he favored her over me.

00:22:56to Ian and the others.

00:22:58I would never be as important

00:22:59as Lorelai was

00:23:00in their hearts.

00:23:01I had this sad,

00:23:03hollow feeling in my chest.

00:23:05Anyhow,

00:23:06it did not matter anymore.

00:23:07I had died in that cellar.

00:23:09My brothers could now

00:23:11give Lorelai

00:23:11as much preferential treatment

00:23:13as they wanted.

00:23:14Mr. Ian!

00:23:17We called for Ms. Rebecca.

00:23:19However,

00:23:20she hasn't responded

00:23:21to us at all.

00:23:22We tried to listen

00:23:23from outside

00:23:24and we couldn't hear

00:23:25any sound of her breathing.

00:23:27Ian knitted his brow

00:23:28and shot to his feet.

00:23:30His face darkened.

00:23:32What's she playing

00:23:32at this time?

00:23:33Does she think

00:23:34it's too humiliating

00:23:35for her to apologize to Laura?

00:23:36Does she even realize

00:23:38that she's nearly

00:23:38killed her this time?

00:23:41Lorelai tugged

00:23:41the hem of Ian's shirt

00:23:42lightly

00:23:43and said dejectedly,

00:23:44It's all right.

00:23:46Ian,

00:23:47I'm just an orphan.

00:23:49I don't have the right

00:23:50to have Rebecca

00:23:51apologize to me.

00:23:52Ian Sanger

00:23:53flared up.

00:23:54He took a deep breath,

00:23:55clenching his fists

00:23:56so tightly

00:23:57that his knuckles

00:23:58turned white.

00:23:59Does she really think

00:24:00I can't tell

00:24:01she's used that cheap trick

00:24:02to win our favor?

00:24:04She thinks she can pretend

00:24:05nothing's happened

00:24:06by staying silent.

00:24:09That's just her wishful thinking.

00:24:13I guess the punishment

00:24:16still isn't severe enough.

00:24:17Ian let out

00:24:18a cold, bitter laugh,

00:24:20his eyes narrowing

00:24:21as he thought of Rebecca

00:24:22hiding in the cellar

00:24:23like a coward.

00:24:24Let's go.

00:24:26She won't be able

00:24:27to avoid us

00:24:27if we drag her

00:24:28out of the teller.

00:24:29I want to see

00:24:30the look on her face

00:24:31when she has

00:24:32nowhere to run.

00:24:33We must get her to kneel

00:24:34and apologize to Lori.

00:24:39I had no control

00:24:41over my movements

00:24:42as my soul followed

00:24:43behind my three brothers.

00:24:45The hollow feeling

00:24:46in my chest

00:24:47intensified.

00:24:47My brothers stormed

00:24:49toward the cellar

00:24:50and arrived at the door

00:24:51fairly quickly.

00:24:52Rebecca Halden!

00:24:53Do you think

00:24:54you can avoid

00:24:54your punishment

00:24:55if you just keep quiet

00:24:56and hide in there?

00:24:58However,

00:24:58no sound came

00:24:59from inside the cellar

00:25:00afterward.

00:25:01Will's expression

00:25:02dockened.

00:25:03Rebecca,

00:25:03what tricks

00:25:04are you trying

00:25:04to pull this time?

00:25:06Come out

00:25:07and kneel before Lori

00:25:08so that you can apologize

00:25:09for what happened.

00:25:10Don't think you can deny

00:25:11having harmed Lori

00:25:12by hiding in there,

00:25:13turning off your phone,

00:25:14and not contacting us.

00:25:16Harry's eyes blazed

00:25:18with fury.

00:25:18He said angrily,

00:25:20You think you're all

00:25:20grown up now, huh?

00:25:22You're keeping quiet now

00:25:23because you're upset

00:25:23about us being nice

00:25:24to Lori.

00:25:25Am I right?

00:25:27Did you really think

00:25:28you could make us

00:25:29give in first

00:25:29if you hid inside

00:25:30the cellar

00:25:31and ignored us?

00:25:33Still,

00:25:34they did not hear

00:25:34any sound coming

00:25:35from inside the cellar.

00:25:37Ian directed his gaze

00:25:38to the maids,

00:25:39who were shaking

00:25:39as they stood

00:25:40at the side.

00:25:41He said in a monotonous voice,

00:25:43Why are you all

00:25:44shaking like that?

00:25:45Be honest.

00:25:46Did Rebecca bribe

00:25:47any of you?

00:25:48Did you guys secretly

00:25:49let her out of the cellar?

00:25:50Will gave us not.

00:25:51With that nasty temper

00:25:52of hers,

00:25:53she probably had

00:25:54these maids let her out

00:25:55once we were gone,

00:25:56since she couldn't stand

00:25:57the environment

00:25:57in the cellar.

00:25:58Harry's eyes reflected

00:26:00his disappointment.

00:26:01You nearly had Lori killed,

00:26:03yet you wouldn't even

00:26:04admit to your mistakes.

00:26:06Are you still

00:26:07the Rebecca that I know?

00:26:08Do you honestly think

00:26:10you're the only sister

00:26:10we have?

00:26:11One of the maids

00:26:12began in a shaky voice.

00:26:14Mr. Ian,

00:26:15none of us would let

00:26:16Miss Rebecca

00:26:17out of the cellar

00:26:18without your permission.

00:26:19Miss Rebecca

00:26:20has really been locked

00:26:22inside the cellar

00:26:22for three days now.

00:26:24Harry cast a glance

00:26:25at the quiet cellar.

00:26:26A look of unease

00:26:27flashed in his eyes.

00:26:28He stepped forward

00:26:30and pulled on

00:26:30the cellar's door

00:26:31forcedly.

00:26:32Rebecca,

00:26:33stop playing around.

00:26:34I've already

00:26:35unlocked the door.

00:26:36You're pulling on

00:26:37the door now

00:26:38because you don't

00:26:38want to come out,

00:26:39am I right?

00:26:41I smiled bitterly

00:26:42as I looked at

00:26:43the inside of the door,

00:26:44which was distorted.

00:26:45While I was

00:26:46suffocating inside

00:26:47the cellar,

00:26:48I tried ramming

00:26:49into the door

00:26:50over and over again

00:26:51out of a strong

00:26:51will to live.

00:26:53However,

00:26:53the door was

00:26:54exceptionally sturdy.

00:26:55I could not even

00:26:56make the door open

00:26:57for just a small crack.

00:26:59In the end,

00:27:00I died of suffocation

00:27:02inside.

00:27:02My dear brothers,

00:27:04when you found

00:27:05my body,

00:27:05could you show me

00:27:06just a tiny bit

00:27:07of your love

00:27:08and bury me

00:27:09next to our mom

00:27:09and dad?

00:27:10Harry got more

00:27:11and more agitated

00:27:12and he started

00:27:13kicking the door

00:27:14heavily.

00:27:14The distorted door

00:27:16finally opened

00:27:17by a crack.

00:27:18An awful stench

00:27:19wafted up

00:27:20from the cellar.

00:27:21One of the maids

00:27:22trembled uncontrollably.

00:27:24It smells like

00:27:25the smell of a dead body!

00:27:26Ian and Will

00:27:27stormed toward the door.

00:27:29What do you mean

00:27:29by the smell

00:27:30of a dead body?

00:27:30She's clearly

00:27:31escaped the cellar

00:27:32and left a dead rat

00:27:34in there to scare us.

00:27:35Rebecca,

00:27:36do you think

00:27:37all of us

00:27:37are fools?

00:27:38All three of them

00:27:39were visibly annoyed

00:27:40and frustrated.

00:27:41They kicked the door

00:27:42almost simultaneously,

00:27:44causing it

00:27:45to shake by them.

00:27:46With a loud thumb,

00:27:47the door was kicked

00:27:48open this time.

00:27:49The rotten stench

00:27:50grew even more intense.

00:27:52Everyone finally

00:27:53had a view

00:27:54of the dark,

00:27:55narrow cellar.

00:27:57The light from outside

00:27:59streamed into the cellar,

00:28:01dispelling the darkness

00:28:02inside that space.

00:28:04I moved closer

00:28:05to 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

00:28:15was just right.

00:28:16Even though I had only

00:28:17been dead for three days,

00:28:19my body seemed like

00:28:20I had probably died

00:28:22for more than ten days.

00:28:23The body was badly decomposed.

00:28:25A large amount of maggots

00:28:27had hatched from the eggs

00:28:29and they could be seen

00:28:30writhing over the corpse.

00:28:31The complexion on my face

00:28:33had turned dark

00:28:34due to asphyxiation.

00:28:36After so many days

00:28:37of decomposition,

00:28:38it was impossible to tell

00:28:40that the corpse was me.

00:28:41Suddenly,

00:28:42I panicked.

00:28:43I did not want my brothers

00:28:44to see my body,

00:28:45which was in such

00:28:46a horrid state.

00:28:47I quickly moved

00:28:49to block their path.

00:28:50Big brothers,

00:28:51don't look at me like this!

00:28:53I don't want you

00:28:54to remember me this way!

00:28:56At the very least,

00:28:58I wanted to preserve

00:28:59my dignity in death.

00:29:00Unfortunately,

00:29:02my efforts were for naught.

00:29:06Yan's face turned pale

00:29:08as an uncomfortable silence

00:29:09fell over the room.

00:29:10He took a step backward anxiously.

00:29:13His lips trembled

00:29:14uncontrollably.

00:29:15What?

00:29:15What is that thing?

00:29:17The overwhelming stench

00:29:18and horrible sight

00:29:19made Ian shrink back

00:29:21with disgust.

00:29:22Hurry and get rid of it!

00:29:23It's so disgusting!

00:29:24One of the maids

00:29:26was visibly shaken.

00:29:27Mr. Ian!

00:29:28That's Ms. Rebecca!

00:29:30It's Ms. Rebecca's corpse!

00:29:31Ian's tone

00:29:32was cold and stern.

00:29:34It's only been three days.

00:29:36There's no way

00:29:36her body would reach

00:29:37this level of decomposition

00:29:38if that were truly

00:29:40Rebecca's corpse.

00:29:41She can't fool me

00:29:42by putting a few

00:29:44dead rats in a heap

00:29:45and pretending it's her.

00:29:47She must have snuck

00:29:48out of the cellar

00:29:48without any of us noticing.

00:29:50Now,

00:29:50and there was no response.

00:29:52No matter how long

00:29:53we called out to her

00:29:53from outside.

00:29:55So,

00:29:56that's what happened.

00:29:58The maids

00:29:58who were about to say something

00:30:00kept silent

00:30:01after hearing

00:30:02Ian's angry remarks.

00:30:04Meanwhile,

00:30:04Will and Harry

00:30:05immediately stopped Lorelei

00:30:07who was trying

00:30:08to get a closer look.

00:30:09Don't go over there.

00:30:11Lori,

00:30:12there are only

00:30:13filthy things inside.

00:30:16The little hope

00:30:17that rose in my heart

00:30:18was instantly shattered

00:30:20when I saw

00:30:21my brother's reactions.

00:30:22My dead body

00:30:23lay right before their eyes.

00:30:25Yet,

00:30:25they paid almost

00:30:26no attention to it.

00:30:28If they had just

00:30:28taken a good look at it,

00:30:30they would surely recognize

00:30:31that the body was mine.

00:30:33Ian waved his hand

00:30:34dismissively

00:30:35and instructed the maids,

00:30:37Hurry up

00:30:37and get rid of

00:30:38this rotten thing.

00:30:39God knows if it may cause

00:30:40some sort of

00:30:41infectious disease.

00:30:42So disgusting.

00:30:43While the maids

00:30:44nodded in horror,

00:30:46Ian led Lorelei

00:30:47away at once.

00:30:48Will and Harry

00:30:49looked in the seller's

00:30:50direction with disgust.

00:30:51Then,

00:30:52they left the place

00:30:53as well.

00:30:54My soul followed

00:30:55behind my brothers

00:30:55automatically.

00:30:56Although,

00:30:57I was already dead,

00:30:59my heart was aching

00:31:00so much

00:31:01that I found it

00:31:02hard to breathe.

00:31:03The moments

00:31:03where they would not

00:31:04even spare my dead body

00:31:05a quick glance

00:31:06and just had the maids

00:31:07get rid of my body

00:31:08haphazardly in particular.

00:31:10It made me wonder

00:31:11how much my brothers

00:31:12must have hated me.

00:31:14I could not even

00:31:15have the right

00:31:15to be buried

00:31:16next to my parents'

00:31:17graves now.

00:31:19My brothers and Lorelei

00:31:20went back into the

00:31:21living room

00:31:21soon afterward.

00:31:22Before Lorelei

00:31:24could say

00:31:24anything pretentious,

00:31:26Ian hurried

00:31:26to make a phone call.

00:31:27Freeze all of the accounts

00:31:28tied to the bank cards

00:31:29Rebecca has.

00:31:30Also,

00:31:31I want a record

00:31:32of all of the transactions

00:31:33she's made recently.

00:31:34Have some men

00:31:35check all of the old

00:31:36properties under

00:31:36my parents' names

00:31:37as well.

00:31:38I want to know

00:31:39where she has been

00:31:40and what she has spent

00:31:41on for the past

00:31:41three days.

00:31:42Ian hung up

00:31:43right after giving

00:31:44those orders

00:31:44in a monotonous voice.

00:31:46Once he obtained

00:31:47the records,

00:31:48Ian could figure out

00:31:49where I had been

00:31:50for the past

00:31:50three days.

00:31:51After that,

00:31:53he was going to

00:31:53give me an earful

00:31:54and punish me.

00:31:56I snickered.

00:31:57Perhaps Ian

00:31:58had already forgotten

00:31:59how his company

00:32:00almost went bankrupt

00:32:01because of a mistake

00:32:02he made

00:32:03in the decision-making

00:32:04process.

00:32:05Many of their

00:32:06shareholders decided

00:32:07to pull back

00:32:08their funds

00:32:08back then.

00:32:10With Ian having

00:32:11no one else

00:32:12to turn to,

00:32:13I decided to invest

00:32:14all of my money

00:32:15in his company

00:32:16to help revive

00:32:17the business.

00:32:18The money I invested

00:32:19consisted of all the

00:32:21money I received

00:32:21from my brothers

00:32:22and the properties

00:32:24my parents had

00:32:24left behind for me.

00:32:25Other than having

00:32:26the status of a

00:32:27Haldeman,

00:32:28I no longer had

00:32:29much money

00:32:30in my savings.

00:32:31Will looked at

00:32:32the empty living room

00:32:33and scoffed.

00:32:34Rebecca's just too much.

00:32:35While we were busy

00:32:36looking after Lori,

00:32:38she was not repenting

00:32:39inside the cellar.

00:32:40Instead,

00:32:41she was out there

00:32:41having fun.

00:32:42I'm going to check

00:32:43with people at the

00:32:44studios.

00:32:44Hopefully they didn't

00:32:45take her in because

00:32:46of me.

00:32:47Harry had a grim

00:32:47expression on his

00:32:48face.

00:32:49I own several art

00:32:50studios.

00:32:51She might be hiding

00:32:52in one of them.

00:32:53Ian snorted.

00:32:54Let's see how much

00:32:55longer she can hide

00:32:56from us.

00:32:57We need to find her

00:32:58and have her

00:32:59apologize to Laura.

00:33:00Will and Harry

00:33:01left right away.

00:33:03Curiously,

00:33:03my soul remained

00:33:05at BC de Ian.

00:33:06Perhaps it was

00:33:06because he was

00:33:07located the nearest

00:33:08to my body.

00:33:10Envy flashed in

00:33:12Lorelai's eyes

00:33:12as she watched

00:33:13Will and Harry

00:33:14walk out of the room.

00:33:15She buried her face

00:33:17in Ian's chest.

00:33:18Rebecca probably

00:33:19thinks that I'm still

00:33:20not good enough

00:33:20to be your sister.

00:33:21Maybe I should leave

00:33:23for now and come

00:33:23back when I can

00:33:24proudly call myself

00:33:26your sister.

00:33:27That way Rebecca

00:33:28won't bully me

00:33:29anymore.

00:33:30Right?

00:33:30As she finished

00:33:31saying that,

00:33:32tears rolled down

00:33:33her face and fell

00:33:34onto Ian's hand.

00:33:35Ian wiped off

00:33:36Lorelai's tears

00:33:37gently.

00:33:38His voice rang

00:33:39with concern

00:33:40and affection.

00:33:41Don't worry.

00:33:42Lori,

00:33:43once we find her,

00:33:44we'll make her

00:33:45kneel and apologize

00:33:46to you.

00:33:48From now on,

00:33:49she won't be able

00:33:50to bully you

00:33:50since you have us.

00:33:52Lorelai leaned

00:33:53against Ian's chest.

00:33:54For a moment,

00:33:55she had a sly,

00:33:57contemptuous look

00:33:58in her eyes.

00:33:59I was so annoyed

00:34:00looking at how

00:34:01fake Lorelai was

00:34:02that I tried to

00:34:03kick her.

00:34:03Unfortunately,

00:34:04I could not cause

00:34:05any actual damage

00:34:07to things in the

00:34:07real world.

00:34:08Just then,

00:34:09Ian's phone rang.

00:34:10The corners of his

00:34:11mouth lifted slightly.

00:34:13It appeared his men

00:34:14had found clues

00:34:15to my whereabouts.

00:34:16The worry that

00:34:17filled his heart

00:34:18dissipated a little.

00:34:20Mr. Ian,

00:34:21we haven't found

00:34:22any new information

00:34:23regarding Miss Rebecca

00:34:24for the last three days.

00:34:26She hasn't made

00:34:27any financial transactions

00:34:28during this period,

00:34:29either.

00:34:29Ian froze.

00:34:30He was gripped

00:34:31by a sense of panic.

00:34:33He hurriedly said,

00:34:34That's impossible.

00:34:35There's no way

00:34:36she hasn't used

00:34:37any money

00:34:37in the last three days.

00:34:39Are you all

00:34:39doing your jobs

00:34:40properly?

00:34:41Did you even put

00:34:41in any serious effort

00:34:42to look for her?

00:34:43It's only been a while

00:34:44since I've given you

00:34:45the task,

00:34:45and you're already

00:34:46reporting to me now.

00:34:47Do your jobs

00:34:48properly and look for her.

00:34:49Do you hear me?

00:34:51Ian was like a wild lion

00:34:53in a frenzy of rage.

00:34:54His bellows reverberated

00:34:56through the living room.

00:34:57The person on the other

00:34:58end of the line

00:34:59stayed silent for a while.

00:35:00Then,

00:35:01they said,

00:35:02Mr. Ian,

00:35:03Ms. Rebecca doesn't have

00:35:04any private bank accounts.

00:35:05All of her other bank accounts

00:35:07were pretty much emptied.

00:35:08Even the properties

00:35:09she owned

00:35:09had all been donated

00:35:10to the company backery

00:35:11when it was facing

00:35:11a financial crisis.

00:35:13Ian's heart missed a beat.

00:35:14With a plop,

00:35:15the phone he was holding

00:35:16fell onto the floor.

00:35:19By the time Ian came

00:35:20to his senses,

00:35:22his usually stoic face

00:35:23was wet with tears.

00:35:25How did I forget about that?

00:35:26My money had all been

00:35:27channeled into the company

00:35:28to help Ian back

00:35:29when he was facing

00:35:30the biggest crisis

00:35:31of his career.

00:35:32Since he was too upset earlier,

00:35:34Ian instinctively thought

00:35:35that I had taken

00:35:36the money I had

00:35:37and run away from home.

00:35:38Rebecca,

00:35:40I killed you.

00:35:42I actually killed

00:35:43my own sister!

00:35:45Suddenly,

00:35:46Ian felt as if

00:35:47his insides

00:35:48were being torn

00:35:48into shreds.

00:35:50The terrible ache

00:35:51in his chest

00:35:51made him feel

00:35:52increasingly worried.

00:35:54Meanwhile,

00:35:55Lorelai maintained

00:35:56that pitiful look

00:35:57on her face

00:35:57as she picked up

00:35:58the 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.

00:36:05He scrolled through

00:36:06our chat history

00:36:06on his phone.

00:36:07Our final text messages

00:36:09were still from

00:36:10three days ago.

00:36:11Ian started tapping

00:36:12the back of his phone

00:36:13with his finger impatiently.

00:36:14Don't worry, Ian.

00:36:16Lorelai tried to offer him

00:36:17words of comfort,

00:36:19but Ian immediately

00:36:20pushed her aside.

00:36:21He strode toward

00:36:23the direction of the seller

00:36:24at once.

00:36:26Ian wanted to confirm

00:36:28what exactly that thing

00:36:29was inside the cellar.

00:36:30You annoying wench.

00:36:32You're trying to hide

00:36:33from everyone now?

00:36:34Do you think that you're

00:36:35the only sister we have?

00:36:36I was forced to follow

00:36:37behind Ian again.

00:36:39However,

00:36:40there was no warmth

00:36:41in my eyes.

00:36:42I could not be bothered

00:36:43with what he wanted

00:36:44to do anymore.

00:36:45Loud,

00:36:46heavy footsteps

00:36:47could be heard

00:36:48as Ian headed

00:36:49toward the cellar.

00:36:50His face grew pale

00:36:51when Ian detected

00:36:53the same awful stench again.

00:36:54Still,

00:36:55he made it

00:36:56to 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

00:37:06cleaning at the side

00:37:07replied in a shaky voice,

00:37:09Mr. Ian,

00:37:10didn't you ask us

00:37:11to get rid of it

00:37:12just now?

00:37:13Just then,

00:37:14another maid

00:37:15held out a phone timidly.

00:37:16Mr. Ian,

00:37:17we found Ms. Rebecca

00:37:18at his phone

00:37:19inside 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

00:37:25I could not feel

00:37:26anything inside me anymore.

00:37:27Tears streamed

00:37:28from my eyes nonetheless.

00:37:32Ian tremblingly

00:37:33opened 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

00:37:40came in again.

00:37:41Ian,

00:37:42put it on speaker.

00:37:43Will's voice

00:37:44was choked with sobs,

00:37:45almost breaking down.

00:37:46Ian,

00:37:47I found something

00:37:48Rebecca left for me

00:37:48in the studio.

00:37:49She wrote a new song

00:37:50for me

00:37:50to celebrate

00:37:52my second anniversary

00:37:52since debut.

00:37:53The song is called

00:37:54Big Brother's Starlight.

00:37:56She even wrote

00:37:57at the end of the lyrics,

00:37:58I hope we will

00:37:59always be a family.

00:38:01Will was already

00:38:01sobbing uncontrollably.

00:38:03Also,

00:38:04the people at the studio

00:38:05told me that

00:38:06the packet of seasoning

00:38:07Lorena gave Rebecca

00:38:07that morning

00:38:08was bought by her herself.

00:38:09Rebecca was even

00:38:10excitedly telling them

00:38:11that she wanted

00:38:12to use the porridge

00:38:12to get along better

00:38:13with Lorena.

00:38:14Right after that,

00:38:15Harry rushed in,

00:38:16holding a delicate

00:38:16small box in his hands.

00:38:18Harry's voice

00:38:19was shaking.

00:38:20In my studio,

00:38:21there is the rare

00:38:22red paint she prepared

00:38:23for me.

00:38:24And a note,

00:38:25Third Brother

00:38:26always likes

00:38:27beautiful colors.

00:38:28This is for you.

00:38:30I hope he owe you

00:38:31stay happy forever.

00:38:33She,

00:38:34she even wrote

00:38:35this sentence,

00:38:36Even though my brothers

00:38:37like Lorelai or now,

00:38:39as long as you are happy,

00:38:40I am satisfied.

00:38:42Ian suddenly dropped

00:38:43to his knees.

00:38:43His forehead slammed

00:38:45hard onto the cold floor

00:38:46with a dull thud.

00:38:47Blood flowed

00:38:48from his forehead,

00:38:49but he seemed

00:38:49to feel no pain.

00:38:51He just kept

00:38:52muttering repeatedly.

00:38:53We,

00:38:53we killed her

00:38:54with our own hands.

00:38:55I watched them

00:38:56and finally

00:38:57couldn't hold back.

00:38:58I laughed.

00:38:59My laughter

00:39:00was hollow

00:39:01and desolate,

00:39:02but no one

00:39:02could hear it.

00:39:06In the final moments

00:39:08leading to my death,

00:39:09I held on

00:39:10to the little hope

00:39:10I had

00:39:11and sent several messages

00:39:12to Ian

00:39:13asking for help.

00:39:15Unfortunately,

00:39:16there was no signal

00:39:17inside the cellar.

00:39:19Naturally,

00:39:20those messages

00:39:20could not be sent out

00:39:22to Ian's phone.

00:39:23I could only stare

00:39:24at the red exclamation marks

00:39:25indicating that the messages

00:39:27were not sent

00:39:27and died in despair

00:39:29inside the cellar.

00:39:30Ian snatched the phone

00:39:31away from the maid.

00:39:32The password for my phone

00:39:33was a combination

00:39:34of my three brothers' birthdays.

00:39:37Rebecca,

00:39:38why didn't you

00:39:39take your phone with you?

00:39:42Please,

00:39:43let this not be

00:39:44what I think it is.

00:39:46He seemed to have

00:39:47an inkling

00:39:48of what had happened

00:39:49deep down.

00:39:50He was speaking faster

00:39:51as if he was rushing.

00:39:53The corners of his eyes

00:39:55were red.

00:39:55He moved his finger quickly

00:39:57as he swiped on my phone.

00:39:59Soon enough,

00:40:00he found the chat window

00:40:01with his name on it.

00:40:03Ian,

00:40:04I 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

00:40:18those unsent messages,

00:40:20Ian felt his vision

00:40:22turn black.

00:40:23He dropped down

00:40:24on the floor.

00:40:25Lorelai rushed

00:40:26into the room just then.

00:40:28Just as she placed

00:40:29her hand on Ian's arm,

00:40:31he slapped her hand away.

00:40:32Go away.

00:40:34Lorelai was so taken aback

00:40:35by Ian's sudden outburst

00:40:37that she dropped

00:40:38to the floor.

00:40:38She blinked a few times,

00:40:40tears streaming

00:40:41from her eyes.

00:40:42However,

00:40:43her pitiful act

00:40:44did not evoke

00:40:45any sympathy from Ian.

00:40:47Ian's eyes were red

00:40:48as he looked at the maids,

00:40:49who were standing

00:40:50at the side

00:40:51and shaking in fear.

00:40:52He barked,

00:40:53the body!

00:40:54Where did you move

00:40:55the body inside the cellotope?

00:40:57Most of the maids

00:40:58shrank back a little.

00:40:59One of them plucked up

00:41:00the courage and said,

00:41:01Mr. Ian,

00:41:03Mr. Harry said

00:41:04that thing was filthy

00:41:05and he wanted us

00:41:07to burn it.

00:41:09We just finished

00:41:10burning it.

00:41:11Ian's vision

00:41:12turned white

00:41:12when he heard those words.

00:41:14His legs threatened

00:41:15to go out.

00:41:16At that very moment,

00:41:17my phone,

00:41:18which was still clutched

00:41:19tightly in Ian's hand,

00:41:21rang.

00:41:22I took a glance

00:41:23at the screen.

00:41:24It was a call

00:41:25from Will.

00:41:27As soon as Ian

00:41:28pressed the answer button,

00:41:29we could hear Will

00:41:30sobbing down the line.

00:41:32Rebecca,

00:41:32I'm so glad

00:41:33I answered the phone.

00:41:35It was a misunderstanding.

00:41:38I'm sorry

00:41:39I misunderstood you.

00:41:40Ian was still

00:41:41in a daze.

00:41:42On the other hand,

00:41:43Will continued

00:41:44in a choked voice.

00:41:46Rebecca,

00:41:47why aren't you

00:41:47saying anything,

00:41:48Rebecca?

00:41:48are you still angry?

00:41:50It's my fault

00:41:51for not realizing it sooner.

00:41:53Things have turned out

00:41:54like this

00:41:55because that damn

00:41:56Larea has set up

00:41:57a trap to flame you.

00:41:59Larea was the one

00:42:00who gave you the item

00:42:01that triggered

00:42:01her allergic reaction

00:42:02that day.

00:42:03I misunderstood you.

00:42:05Rebecca,

00:42:05please say something.

00:42:06Can you please

00:42:07forgive me?

00:42:08Standing at the side,

00:42:10I scoffed.

00:42:12Will was an up-and-coming

00:42:14talented singer.

00:42:15I had been doing

00:42:16whatever I could

00:42:17to support him.

00:42:18Some of his popular hits

00:42:19were composed by me.

00:42:21On the morning

00:42:21of that very day,

00:42:23Lorelai gave me

00:42:23the packet of seasoning

00:42:24that would trigger

00:42:25her allergic reaction.

00:42:27Initially,

00:42:28I thought everything

00:42:29was going to get better

00:42:30from that point onward.

00:42:35Especially since I had

00:42:36composed a song

00:42:37for Will that day.

00:42:38I was going to give him

00:42:39the song as a present

00:42:40to congratulate him

00:42:41on his second anniversary

00:42:43after making his debut.

00:42:44I never imagined

00:42:46that I would be dragged

00:42:47and locked inside

00:42:48the cellar by my brothers

00:42:49who fell for

00:42:51Lorelai's skin.

00:42:52In the end,

00:42:53I even suffocated

00:42:55and died in the cellar.

00:42:56Fortunately,

00:42:57I had shared the news

00:42:58about the cellar

00:42:59with the people

00:43:00working at the studio

00:43:01in advance.

00:43:02Since I was feeling happy,

00:43:04I also told them

00:43:05about the packet

00:43:05of seasoning

00:43:06Lorelai gave me.

00:43:07If only Will had dropped

00:43:09by the studio sooner,

00:43:10he would have found out

00:43:11about the truth

00:43:11sooner as well.

00:43:12He shook my head

00:43:13expressionlessly.

00:43:14There was no point

00:43:15regretting it

00:43:16since it was too late now.

00:43:17Ian clutched his chest

00:43:18and stumbled

00:43:19a few steps backward.

00:43:20He had misunderstood me.

00:43:22It was all an act

00:43:23that was orchestrated

00:43:24by 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

00:43:34to Rebecca!

00:43:35I need to give her

00:43:36a proper apology first.

00:43:39Ian felt as though

00:43:40his heart was being squeezed.

00:43:42to the point

00:43:43it was getting distorted.

00:43:44He yelled in a cracked voice.

00:43:47Rebecca's phone

00:43:47was 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

00:44:01had gradually hardened as well.

00:44:03The hair above her ears

00:44:05was stuck to her skin

00:44:06because of her sweat.

00:44:08Ian.

00:44:11Let me explain first.

00:44:13Lorelai had only uttered

00:44:14those two words

00:44:15when Ian gave her

00:44:16a hefty kick

00:44:17and sent her flying backward.

00:44:19Then,

00:44:19Ian bellowed furiously.

00:44:21Hold her down!

00:44:22Several maids lunged forward

00:44:25and pressed Lorelai

00:44:26hard against the floor.

00:44:29While Ian leaned

00:44:30against the wall

00:44:30for support,

00:44:31the phone in his hand

00:44:33started ringing again.

00:44:34I cast a glance

00:44:35at the screen

00:44:36and it was a call

00:44:37from Harry.

00:44:38Harry was a genius painter

00:44:40who loved beautiful colors.

00:44:42Four days ago,

00:44:43I found an extremely rare

00:44:45red paint

00:44:45specially for him.

00:44:46I knew he would love

00:44:48the 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

00:44:55the surprise from me,

00:44:57when Ian picked up the call,

00:44:59Harry's tone

00:45:00had softened noticeably.

00:45:02Enough with this, Rebecca.

00:45:04You should stop

00:45:05throwing your tantrums.

00:45:06You were indeed wrong

00:45:08this time.

00:45:08I don't care where you are.

00:45:10Just hurry and come home.

00:45:13I'll take your side

00:45:14this time.

00:45:14While Harry was still

00:45:16blabbering on,

00:45:18Ian interrupted him.

00:45:19Harry Helderman!

00:45:21Were you the one

00:45:22who instructed the maids

00:45:23to burn the dead body?

00:45:25That body was very likely

00:45:26our sister, Rebecca.

00:45:30There was a moment's

00:45:31stunned silence.

00:45:33Then, Harry's voice

00:45:35started shaking.

00:45:36That...

00:45:36Could it be?

00:45:38That's impossible.

00:45:39Rebecca couldn't have

00:45:40ended up looking like that.

00:45:41She was locked inside

00:45:42the cellar for just three days.

00:45:43She couldn't have turned

00:45:44into something so disgusting!

00:45:46That's impossible!

00:45:47I'm coming back.

00:45:49We'll do a DNA test.

00:45:50Recall that we'll just

00:45:51need her hair to do the test.

00:45:53That thing couldn't

00:45:53possibly be our sister!

00:45:55He hung up right after

00:45:56saying that.

00:45:57Ian was hunched over the floor

00:45:59as he broke down

00:46:00in tears.

00:46:02A brief moment later,

00:46:03one of the maids

00:46:04mustered the courage

00:46:05to step forward

00:46:06while carrying the neuron.

00:46:09Mr. Ian,

00:46:11this is most likely

00:46:12Mrs. Rebecca's ashes.

00:46:14Ian was still clinging

00:46:15onto the last sliver of hope

00:46:16that I might still be alive.

00:46:18He corrected her

00:46:19in a stern voice.

00:46:21What do you mean?

00:46:22You win that's most like

00:46:23Laika, Rebecca,

00:46:25Rebecca Heldman!

00:46:26Our little sister

00:46:27is just missing!

00:46:29Just then,

00:46:30another maid came forward.

00:46:32She slowly handed a report

00:46:34with the DNA test results

00:46:36to Ian.

00:46:38Mr. Ian,

00:46:39when Mr. Harry

00:46:40had asked us

00:46:41to burn the body,

00:46:42we took the liberty

00:46:43to send some samples

00:46:44for a DNA test.

00:46:45The DNA test report

00:46:46indicated the body

00:46:47was indeed

00:46:48Mrs. Rebecca.

00:46:49Please accept

00:46:50our heartfelt condolences,

00:46:51Mr. Ian.

00:46:52Ian froze to the spot.

00:46:54With a blank look

00:46:55on his face,

00:46:56Ian stood in the same spot

00:46:58for more than 10 minutes,

00:47:00unmoving.

00:47:00Then,

00:47:01his gaze fell

00:47:02on Lorelai,

00:47:03who was subdued

00:47:04by the maids.

00:47:05Bring me everything

00:47:06you can find

00:47:07on that wench.

00:47:08Now,

00:47:09earlier,

00:47:10Will said

00:47:11that you had

00:47:12framed Rebecca.

00:47:14Lorelai started struggling.

00:47:15Ian!

00:47:16I'm innocent!

00:47:18It's not my fault!

00:47:19Rebecca!

00:47:19It's not my fault!

00:47:23It's not my fault!

00:47:23Lorelai's phone

00:47:24contained evidence

00:47:25of her framing me

00:47:27on multiple occasions.

00:47:28Soon enough,

00:47:30Ian received various items

00:47:31that were found on Lorelai.

00:47:33He looked through

00:47:33those 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,

00:47:46Will and Harry arrived home.

00:47:48As soon as they got there,

00:47:50they saw Lorelai,

00:47:52who was held down

00:47:53by the maids

00:47:54and seemed like

00:47:55she was barely breathing.

00:47:57Beside them,

00:47:58Ian stood there

00:47:59with his red,

00:48:00teary eyes.

00:48:02Harry shouted aloud,

00:48:03Ian!

00:48:04What are you doing?

00:48:05Why did you beat

00:48:06Leroy up like that?

00:48:07Will lowered his gaze.

00:48:09His eyes blazed

00:48:10with fury.

00:48:11As he stared at Lorelai,

00:48:13Ian tossed the phone

00:48:14in Will and Harry's direction.

00:48:16Both of them

00:48:17seemed confused.

00:48:19As they turned on the phone,

00:48:21yet,

00:48:21their expressions changed

00:48:22almost 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

00:48:31she 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

00:48:40to scold me harshly.

00:48:41Up until three days ago,

00:48:44Lorelai gave me the item

00:48:45that would trigger

00:48:46her allergic reaction

00:48:47and used it to frame me.

00:48:49In every video,

00:48:50the moments where

00:48:51I was being scolded

00:48:52or yelled at

00:48:53by my brothers

00:48:54and the sound of Lorelai

00:48:55giggling softly

00:48:57were recorded.

00:48:58Harry was the first

00:48:59to kick Lorelai's face.

00:49:00This time,

00:49:01his eyes were red.

00:49:03He shouted,

00:49:04We misunderstood Rebecca

00:49:05for so long.

00:49:07And it was all you're doing!

00:49:09Have you forgotten?

00:49:10It was because of Rebecca

00:49:12that you were able

00:49:12to live in our home!

00:49:13Why 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

00:49:21in her eyes.

00:49:22She glared at my brothers

00:49:24menacingly.

00:49:27So what?

00:49:28I admit that I've been

00:49:29framing her all along.

00:49:30I was just trying

00:49:31to earn more

00:49:32of your affection.

00:49:33Am I wrong

00:49:34for doing that?

00:49:35Still,

00:49:36you guys are the ones

00:49:37who have actually

00:49:38killed her in the end.

00:49:39I don't understand

00:49:40why you guys

00:49:41are venting on me now.

00:49:42For a moment,

00:49:43my brothers,

00:49:44who were boiling

00:49:45with rage at first,

00:49:46were suddenly flustered.

00:49:48Lorelai shot Yana Glarus.

00:49:50I was simply trying

00:49:52to gain your affection

00:49:53and attention.

00:49:54Yet,

00:49:54what did you guys do?

00:49:55The three of you

00:49:56locked her inside the cellar

00:49:57and completely forgot about her.

00:49:59Even if she managed

00:50:00to survive those three days,

00:50:02Rebecca would probably

00:50:03be so traumatized

00:50:04by what happened

00:50:05and 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

00:50:12onto the floor,

00:50:13buried his face

00:50:14in his hands,

00:50:14and sobbed miserably.

00:50:16Meanwhile,

00:50:17Lorelai turned her eyes

00:50:18to Will and Harry.

00:50:19All of you are murderers

00:50:21and accomplices!

00:50:23You'll all be torn

00:50:25by the law!

00:50:26Will and Harry

00:50:27crouched down

00:50:28and burst into tears

00:50:29of wrath.

00:50:30Lorelai had a triumphant

00:50:31look on her face

00:50:32as she took in the sight

00:50:34before her.

00:50:35Yet,

00:50:35the moment did not last long

00:50:37as Ian lunged at her

00:50:38and seized her

00:50:39by the throat.

00:50:40At the same time,

00:50:41Will smashed her head

00:50:42with a hammer

00:50:43while Harry

00:50:44bit her heart

00:50:45on the neck.

00:50:45Lorelai was beaten

00:50:46to death

00:50:47by my brothers.

00:50:50Looking at the urn

00:50:51that the maids

00:50:52had brought over

00:50:53to them,

00:50:53my brothers

00:50:54could not take it anymore.

00:50:56At that moment,

00:50:57I recalled

00:50:58how our company

00:50:59had been on the verge

00:51:00of going out of business

00:51:01after my parents

00:51:03passed away.

00:51:03Many of our company's

00:51:05executives coveted

00:51:06our wealth

00:51:06and assets back then.

00:51:07Thus,

00:51:08I had been frequently

00:51:09targeted

00:51:10since I was

00:51:11my brother's weakness.

00:51:12There was one time

00:51:13when I got abducted

00:51:14by a group of men.

00:51:15My brothers used

00:51:16every means they could

00:51:17and found me.

00:51:18They held me tightly

00:51:20in their arms

00:51:20and growled,

00:51:21Rebecca,

00:51:22we won't ever let

00:51:23anyone harm you.

00:51:25You're the most precious

00:51:26thing Mom and Dad

00:51:27have left behind for us.

00:51:28You're the only sister

00:51:29we have.

00:51:30That day,

00:51:31my brothers held me

00:51:32in their arms

00:51:33for an entire night.

00:51:34Since then,

00:51:35I worked hard

00:51:36to be like a mature adult

00:51:37so that they would

00:51:39not have to worry

00:51:39about me.

00:51:40In the end,

00:51:41what they said that day

00:51:42was just lies

00:51:43to 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

00:51:54your sister.

00:51:55In our next life,

00:51:56no,

00:51:57let's not meet each other

00:51:58ever again.

00:52:01Ian sat alone

00:52:02on the edge

00:52:03of Rebecca's bed,

00:52:04tightly gripping

00:52:05the necklace

00:52:06engraved with four names.

00:52:07His eyes

00:52:08were bloodshot.

00:52:10He hadn't slept

00:52:11for many days.

00:52:12Rebecca,

00:52:15Big Brother was wrong.

00:52:17How could I believe

00:52:18Lorelly's words

00:52:19and lock you

00:52:19in the cellar?

00:52:21I didn't even give you

00:52:22a chance to explain.

00:52:23He recalled the night.

00:52:25When Rebecca

00:52:26had a high fever

00:52:27as a child,

00:52:28he stayed by

00:52:29her side all night,

00:52:31wiping her forehead

00:52:32with a cold towel

00:52:33and whispering softly,

00:52:35Big Brother

00:52:36will never leave you.

00:52:38Now,

00:52:38those words

00:52:39cut into his heart

00:52:40like sharp blades.

00:52:41When the company

00:52:42was almost bankrupt,

00:52:43you invested

00:52:44all your inheritance

00:52:44to save me.

00:52:45I only realized

00:52:46how much you did

00:52:47for us

00:52:48after you died.

00:52:50What a blind

00:52:51Big Brother I am.

00:52:52He buried his head

00:52:53in 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

00:53:05the entire company

00:53:06to you.

00:53:06I would kneel down

00:53:08and beg

00:53:09for your forgiveness.

00:53:10But you're already gone.

00:53:11I come here every day.

00:53:13I just want to hear

00:53:14you call me

00:53:15Big Brother

00:53:16one more time.

00:53:17But the room

00:53:17is always terrifyingly quiet.

00:53:19Ian's regret

00:53:20was like

00:53:20an endless dark night

00:53:21devouring

00:53:22what remained

00:53:23of his life.

00:53:25Will wore headphones

00:53:26and repeatedly

00:53:27played the song

00:53:28Big Brother Starlight

00:53:29that Rebecca

00:53:30had written for him.

00:53:31When the song started,

00:53:33he suddenly broke down

00:53:35and smashed

00:53:36the headphones

00:53:36on the ground.

00:53:37Little sister,

00:53:38you stayed up all night

00:53:40to write this song

00:53:40for me.

00:53:41You said you hoped

00:53:43I would shine forever.

00:53:44But I personally

00:53:45pushed you

00:53:46into the cellar

00:53:47and locked the door

00:53:47with my own hands.

00:53:49He remembered the day

00:53:50when Rebecca

00:53:51secretly helped him

00:53:52with harmonies

00:53:53and prepared gifts

00:53:54for his celebrations.

00:53:55Yet he had called her

00:53:56vicious

00:53:58because of Lorelei's words.

00:54:00All those awards,

00:54:02all that applause,

00:54:04how ironic

00:54:05they sound now.

00:54:09If I could trade them

00:54:10for you,

00:54:10I would give up everything.

00:54:11I wish I had never

00:54:12become a singer.

00:54:13He pressed his head

00:54:14against the recording console,

00:54:16crying,

00:54:17until he almost suffocated.

00:54:19Rebecca,

00:54:19Big Brother regrets it.

00:54:21I can't sleep every night.

00:54:24As soon as I close my eyes,

00:54:26I see you desperately

00:54:27banging on the door

00:54:28in the cellar.

00:54:29I deserve to die.

00:54:31I 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

00:54:40was like a blunt knife,

00:54:41cutting away

00:54:42at the rest of his life.

00:54:45Harry knelt in the center

00:54:46of the studio.

00:54:48In front of him

00:54:48was the last portrait

00:54:49he had drawn of Rebecca,

00:54:50already torn to pieces

00:54:52by his own hands.

00:54:53This is what I drew for you.

00:54:56You always said

00:54:57you hoped I would paint

00:54:58the most beautiful colors,

00:54:59but I painted you

00:55:00as a vicious sister,

00:55:02and even said

00:55:03I would kick you

00:55:03out of the house.

00:55:05He remembered

00:55:06the rare red paint.

00:55:07Rebecca had spent

00:55:08three months

00:55:09of her allowance

00:55:10to buy for him,

00:55:11along with the note.

00:55:12Third brother

00:55:13always likes

00:55:13beautiful colors.

00:55:14This is for you.

00:55:15I hope you stay

00:55:16happy forever.

00:55:18I, the so-called

00:55:19genius painter,

00:55:20couldn't even see

00:55:21my own sister's

00:55:22true heart!

00:55:23I had your body burned!

00:55:25I couldn't even see

00:55:26you one last time!

00:55:27He frantically

00:55:28scratched the floor

00:55:29with his hands.

00:55:30Blood mixed with paint

00:55:31dyed the floor red.

00:55:32Rebecca,

00:55:33I'm willing to burn

00:55:35all my paintings

00:55:36and all my honours.

00:55:37I just want

00:55:38your forgiveness.

00:55:40I'll never paint again.

00:55:43As long as you

00:55:43can come back,

00:55:45little sister.

00:55:46Are you still

00:55:47angry with us?

00:55:49Big brother lives

00:55:50in hell every day.

00:55:52Please come back.

00:55:54Barry's regret

00:55:55would become a page.

00:55:56He could never escape

00:55:57for the rest of his life.

00:55:58The three brothers

00:56:00knelt together

00:56:00in front of

00:56:01Rebecca's grave.

00:56:02They had been kneeling

00:56:03for a full day

00:56:05and night.

00:56:06Little sister,

00:56:07big brother

00:56:08is sorry.

00:56:12I pushed you

00:56:13into the cellar.

00:56:14I killed you

00:56:15with my own hands.

00:56:16I was the one

00:56:17who locked the door.

00:56:18I wrapped the chains

00:56:19around it myself.

00:56:21I deserve to die.

00:56:23I moved the heavy stone

00:56:24to block the door.

00:56:26I even had

00:56:27your body burned.

00:56:28I couldn't even

00:56:29bury you next to

00:56:29mom and dad.

00:56:30We donated the company,

00:56:32all our property,

00:56:33everything.

00:56:34We just hope

00:56:35you can forgive us.

00:56:36I cancelled all

00:56:37my concerts.

00:56:39I will never

00:56:40sing again.

00:56:41I burned all

00:56:42my paintings.

00:56:43I will never

00:56:44touch a paintbrush

00:56:45again.

00:56:45The three of them

00:56:46held their heads

00:56:47and cried bitterly.

00:56:49The wind blew

00:56:49through the cemetery,

00:56:51carrying only

00:56:51their endless regret.

00:56:53Their regret

00:56:53would accompany them

00:56:54for the rest

00:56:55of their lives.

00:56:57The lights

00:56:58in the villa

00:56:58had not been

00:56:59turned on

00:56:59for a long time.

00:57:00Ever since

00:57:01Rebecca died,

00:57:02this once lively

00:57:03Haldeman family

00:57:04mansion

00:57:05had become

00:57:06like a giant tomb.

00:57:07Ian,

00:57:08Will,

00:57:08and Harry

00:57:09had moved out

00:57:10and never returned.

00:57:12The garden

00:57:12was overgrown,

00:57:14the studio

00:57:14was covered

00:57:15in dust,

00:57:16and thick dust

00:57:17had accumulated

00:57:18on the piano.

00:57:19Only Rebecca's

00:57:20room remained

00:57:20exactly as it was

00:57:21when she was alive.

00:57:22The doll

00:57:23on the bed,

00:57:24the unfinished

00:57:25homework on the desk,

00:57:26and the red circle

00:57:27on the calendar.

00:57:28Ian's birthday.

00:57:30No one ever

00:57:31entered that room again.

00:57:32Until this day.

00:57:34The demolition team's

00:57:36trucks stopped

00:57:37in front of the villa.

00:57:38Workers began

00:57:39clearing out

00:57:39the debris inside.

00:57:41The old butler

00:57:42stood at the door,

00:57:43holding the authorization

00:57:44letter signed

00:57:45by Ian.

00:57:46His eyes read,

00:57:47Tear it down.

00:57:50Tear it all down.

00:57:53When the workers

00:57:54reached the end

00:57:55of the corridor,

00:57:56they saw the iron door.

00:57:58The door was covered

00:58:00in rust,

00:58:00and still wrapped

00:58:01with rusted chains.

00:58:03The gaps were sealed

00:58:04tightly,

00:58:05as if to prevent

00:58:06anyone 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

00:58:13pulled hard

00:58:14on the chains.

00:58:15Another brought

00:58:16a cutting machine

00:58:17with a harsh metallic

00:58:18screw.

00:58:19The chains were cut

00:58:20piece by piece.

00:58:21Finally,

00:58:22someone pushed hard.

00:58:24The iron door opened.

00:58:25A stale smell

00:58:27mixed with rust

00:58:28and decay rushed out.

00:58:30Someone covered

00:58:31their nose.

00:58:32The workers

00:58:33turned on their flashlights

00:58:35and shone them

00:58:36into the cellar.

00:58:37The cellar was small

00:58:38and dark.

00:58:39The walls were covered

00:58:40with years of dust.

00:58:42There was nothing

00:58:43on the floor.

00:58:43The rotten body

00:58:44had long been burned

00:58:45to ashes.

00:58:47Wait.

00:58:47A young worker

00:58:49suddenly spoke.

00:58:50There were words

00:58:50on the wall.

00:58:51He pointed his flashlight

00:58:53at the wall.

00:58:54All the other

00:58:55flashlights followed.

00:58:56Then,

00:58:57everyone fell silent.

00:58:59There were words

00:59:00on the wall.

00:59:01Dense,

00:59:02countless words.

00:59:03They were scratched

00:59:04with fingers.

00:59:05Some deep,

00:59:06some shallow.

00:59:07Some words

00:59:08were repeated once.

00:59:10Twice,

00:59:11countless times.

00:59:12Some had become blurred

00:59:14while others

00:59:15were still clear.

00:59:16Big brother.

00:59:17These three words

00:59:18filled an entire wall.

00:59:20Big and small,

00:59:21crooked and straight.

00:59:23Some overlapping,

00:59:25some inseparate lines.

00:59:27It was as if

00:59:28someone had used

00:59:29their last strength

00:59:30to repeat the same address

00:59:31over and over again.

00:59:33The workers

00:59:34continued to look

00:59:35at the other walls.

00:59:36Big brother,

00:59:37you said you would

00:59:38never 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

00:59:45in the concrete.

00:59:46Second brother,

00:59:47did you like the song

00:59:48I wrote for you?

00:59:49This line was

00:59:50on the opposite wall,

00:59:51the handwriting

00:59:52slightly slanted,

00:59:53as if her hand

00:59:54was already shaking

00:59:55when she wrote it.

00:59:57Third brother,

00:59:58did you like the red paint?

00:59:59Written in the corner,

01:00:00the strokes lighter,

01:00:02as if she no longer

01:00:03had much strength left.

01:00:05Mom,

01:00:06I'm coming.

01:00:07Toward the end,

01:00:08the handwriting

01:00:09became messier

01:00:10and fainter.

01:00:11The last line

01:00:12was written on the floor

01:00:13in the farthest corner,

01:00:14so small,

01:00:15it was almost impossible

01:00:16to 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.

01:00:25I'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

01:00:37their own sister in here

01:00:40and let her suffocate

01:00:42to death.

01:00:43The old butler

01:00:43stood at the door,

01:00:45trembling

01:00:45all over.

01:00:48I'm going to call them.

01:00:51I'm going to tell them

01:00:52to come.

01:00:53The old butler's voice

01:00:55was shaking.

01:00:56The phone rang

01:00:56for 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

01:01:09being demolished?

01:01:10The cellar,

01:01:12the cellar

01:01:13has been opened.

01:01:14There was silence

01:01:14on the other end.

01:01:15There are words

01:01:16on the wall.

01:01:18Miss Rebecca,

01:01:21she wrote words

01:01:22on the cellar walls.

01:01:24Another long silence.

01:01:26Then,

01:01:26the sound of something

01:01:27shattering the camera

01:01:28from the other end

01:01:29of the phone.

01:01:30Ian was the first

01:01:32to arrive.

01:01:33His hair was already

01:01:34half gray.

01:01:35He wore a wrinkled shirt,

01:01:37his beard unshaven,

01:01:39and his eyes were swollen,

01:01:41as if he hadn't slept

01:01:42for 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

01:01:54much thinner.

01:01:56His fingers were covered

01:01:57in old scars

01:01:58from when he had

01:01:59scratched the ground.

01:02:00The three of them

01:02:00stood at the cellar entrance.

01:02:03No one dared to go in.

01:02:05Let's go in.

01:02:07She has been waiting

01:02:08for us for many years.

01:02:10They walked into the cellar

01:02:11one after another.

01:02:13The flashlight beams

01:02:14swept across the walls.

01:02:16Then,

01:02:16all three of them

01:02:18melt down

01:02:18at the same time.

01:02:20Ian suddenly

01:02:21began to rush.

01:02:22He lay on the ground,

01:02:24his whole body

01:02:25convulsing violently.

01:02:26It wasn't crying.

01:02:28It was something

01:02:29more terrifying

01:02:30than crying.

01:02:31It was as if

01:02:32everything he 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

01:02:40collapsing on the ground himself.

01:02:41The two of them

01:02:42lay on the cellar floor,

01:02:44head to head,

01:02:45just like when they used

01:02:46to squeeze into

01:02:47Rebecca's small bed

01:02:48as children.

01:02:48But this time,

01:02:50no one was holding Rebecca.

01:02:52She was not between them.

01:02:53She was on the floor,

01:02:55on 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.

01:03:21It 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,

01:03:27only two words,

01:03:28written at the very bottom

01:03:29of the door,

01:03:31near 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 even.

01:03:42Second Brother,

01:03:43or

01:03:44Third Brother.

01:03:45She wrote

01:03:46Big 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.

01:03:54Brother.

01:03:55It was the name

01:03:56of the people

01:03:57she thought

01:03:58would never abandon her,

01:03:59but the door

01:04:00never opened.

01:04:02Harry pressed his face

01:04:04against those two words

01:04:05and closed his eyes.

01:04:07Little sister.

01:04:08His lips touched the words,

01:04:11his voice so soft.

01:04:12It was as if he was afraid

01:04:14of waking someone.

01:04:15Big Brother is here.

01:04:17Big Brother finally came

01:04:19to see you,

01:04:20but it's too late.

01:04:26The 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 stood in front

01:04:41of the ruins,

01:04:42watching the iron door

01:04:43being crushed

01:04:44into scrap metal,

01:04:45and the walls covered in words

01:04:47being turned into debris.

01:04:48They didn't speak.

01:04:50The 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 in that gust of wind,

01:05:13no one heard her voice.

01:05:14Maybe

01:05:15she said

01:05:16goodbye.

01:05:16Maybe 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

01:05:23like the last breath

01:05:25she exhaled

01:05:26in the corner

01:05:27of the cellar

01:05:27many, 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

01:05:36remembered 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

01:06:07on the bench together.

01:06:08Ian stroked

01:06:09the carved words

01:06:10with trembling fingers,

01:06:12his 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

01:06:30touched the letters

01:06:31with his scarred fingers,

01:06:33his eyes empty,

01:06:34and desolate.

01:06:35I painted so many colors,

01:06:38but I never painted

01:06:39the color of 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 the 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 to sunset.

01:06:58They didn't speak

01:06:59anymore after that.

01:07:00They didn't cry out loud.

01:07:02They just sat there quietly,

01:07:04as if waiting for someone.

01:07:06Waiting forever.

01:07:07Just like the little girl

01:07:09in the cellar

01:07:09many years ago,

01:07:10who kept waiting for them

01:07:12to open the door.

01:07:14Waiting forever.

01:07:15together.
