Short filmTranscript
00:07I had a notebook hidden in my drawer it only contained one number 99 the 99 times my family
00:18let me down on my wedding day my sister sylvia meyer suddenly flew back home my parents my brother
00:34zachariah and even my fiance eugene enderson all abandoned me to go pick her up at the airport
00:39while she posted group selfies on instagram showing off how adored she was I called them
00:46over and over yet every call was coldly declined the only one who picked up was eugene he said
00:52just one thing stop overreacting we can always hold another wedding
01:00so at the wedding I had looked forward to for so long they made me the biggest joke of the
01:04day
01:05whispered about and ridiculed by everyone
01:10I calmly wrapped everything up on my own then wrote a new number in my diary 99 it was the
01:1699th time they had disappointed me I no longer wished for their love
01:21I filled out my application to study abroad and packed my suitcase
01:27they all thought I had finally grown obedient but the truth was that I was preparing to leave
01:32the door to my room burst open
01:34Zachariah walked in and let out a mocking snort when he saw me staring at my diary
01:40seriously how old are you writing a diary like an elementary school kid
01:47normally I would have snapped back
01:51but this time I didn't even raise my head
01:56annoyed by my indifference Zachariah raked a hand through his hair grabbed the diary and flipped it open
02:03inside was only one number 99
02:07the number of times they had let me down
02:12he couldn't understand it
02:13he frowned
02:14tossed the notebook onto the floor
02:16and ordered me
02:17enough with your nonsense
02:18still wants your garlic butter shrimp
02:20go wash your hands and get cooking
02:23and take it as your apology for that snarky comment you made earlier
02:27I simply said
02:28okay
02:29and headed downstairs
02:35he was stunned that I didn't throw a tantrum
02:38in the past
02:39whenever the family asked me to cook shrimp for Sylvia
02:42I would cry like I had suffered some great injustice
02:47why is she suddenly so quiet
02:49he thought
02:56Rebecca what's with you
02:57you're not up to something right
02:59you're not planning to put something in her food are you
03:04suspicion flickered in his eyes as he studied me
03:09when he noticed my slightly reddened eyes
03:11he paused and finally shut up
03:17after a long moment
03:19he spoke again
03:23Syl's been abroad for a year
03:24living on her own the whole time
03:27this is her first time back home
03:32of course we're eager to see her
03:34you should understand
03:38it's just a wedding
03:39we can throw you another one later
03:45I stayed silent while cleaning the shrimp
03:47right
03:47just a wedding
03:48in their eyes
03:49nothing would ever matter more than picking up Sylvia
03:52not even the wedding I had dreamed of four years
03:58they knew it had taken me months to secure that couture gown
04:04they knew I spent half a year planning every detail with the wedding team
04:09yet in the end they turned me into the biggest joke of the entire event
04:14my family never showed up
04:16while Sylvia flaunted her airport welcome party on Instagram
04:23I faced the guests ridicule and puzzled stares alone
04:29even the hotel staff
04:31even the hotel staff noticed how pale I looked and pitying me
04:33urged me to go home and rest
04:38but when my family returned
04:39the first thing they did was ask me to cook
04:46a bitter smile tugged at my lips
04:50I had once thought that because my parents were getting older
04:53Sylvia was abroad
04:54Zachariah was busy and I was getting married
04:57I should decline my professor's offer to study overseas
05:01but now I knew leaving was the right choice
05:05unfortunately even with the application submitted
05:08I still had two weeks before I could depart
05:11I pushed past Zachariah
05:14move, you're blocking the way
05:17my coldness made him feel like he had swung a fist
05:20only to hit empty air
05:22he sighed, about to speak again
05:24but Sylvia's voice rang out from the living room
05:28Zach, I can't open this chestnut
05:34Zachariah panicked instantly
05:35don't do it yourself
05:36you'll hurt your hands
05:37you're gonna be a pianist
05:38wait, I'll help you
05:40that annoying buzzing finally left the kitchen
05:42I lowered my gaze to my hands
05:45my once slender fingers were now red and swollen
05:47from an allergic reaction
05:49when I set the plate of shrimps on the dining table
05:52I glanced toward the living room
05:54the atmosphere over there was warm and lively
05:56dad, who was usually busy with business calls
05:59suddenly had all the time in the world
06:01he sat comfortably on the couch
06:04listening patiently while Sylvia talked about
06:06her fun experiences studying abroad
06:10mom held Sylvia in her arms
06:12fussing over her
06:14saying she looked thinner and must have suffered overseas
06:18Zachariah was sitting next to her
06:19focused on opening chestnuts for her
06:23I didn't say anything
06:25I just watched that cozy little scene quietly
06:29the living room and dining room felt like to completely different worlds
06:34one side was full of laughter
06:36and the other was utterly silent
06:39Becca, why are you standing over there?
06:41is it because I messed up your wedding?
06:44are you still mad at me?
06:45Sylvia's soft, pitiful voice carried across the room
06:48only then did the three in the living room finally notice me
06:52dad frowned instinctively
06:56wipe that look off your face
06:58get over here
07:00mom's expression held a flash of irritation
07:03your wedding mess happened because you picked a bad date
07:06it had nothing to do with Slive
07:09if you dare stay mad at her
07:11don't call me your mother
07:13Sylvia pouted dramatically and tugged on mom's sleeve
07:16mom don't say that
07:18you'll make Becca sad
07:19she sounded like she was defending me
07:21but the smugness in her eyes was impossible to hide
07:25I knew better that Sylvia was far from innocent
07:29a week ago
07:30I told her the wedding date myself
07:32she saw the message and even replied that she was preparing a surprise
07:38and she did give me one
07:39it was just not the kind anyone would want
07:45this forced choice between us was a game she had played since childhood
07:51every single time
07:52I was never the one my parents or Zachariah chose
07:58even Eugene who was supposed to spend his life with me
08:01didn't choose me
08:03I should have been heartbroken
08:05but maybe I had gone numb
08:06hearing their words now barely stirred anything inside me
08:11I'm not mad
08:12the moment I said that
08:14everyone stopped and stared at me
08:17it was impossible that I wasn't mad
08:19I caught the expressions on their faces
08:21and felt a wave of irony
08:23they knew what they did was infuriating
08:26yet they chose to do it anyway
08:28and then acted like my emotions were the problem
08:33my calmness made my parents and Zachariah uneasy
08:37after a moment of silence dad finally said
08:42good
08:42we're a family so stop taking everything so seriously
08:47yes I understand
08:49I nodded obediently
08:52seeing me act so unaffected
08:54they relaxed and turned back to fussing over Sylvia
09:00aside from the shrimp I made
09:02the table was covered in seafood dishes prepared by the housekeeper
09:05they were everything Sylvia loved
09:08Sylv
09:09you're so thin
09:11eat more
09:13dad and Zachariah's fork never stopped moving
09:16before long the food was piled high in her plate like a tiny mountain
09:24she beamed as she bragged to the family about her life overseas
09:29she claimed she had already secured a spot in an orchestra and would be performing with them soon
09:35my parents and Zachariah showered her with praise
09:39I quietly continued eating my rice
09:42my silence must have finally stirred some guilt in mom
09:45because she suddenly remembered I had been humiliated today
09:52a shrimp was placed on my plate
09:55I looked up
09:56mom's expression was a little stiff
09:59eat
10:00don't think we only care about Sylve
10:02didn't I just give one to you too
10:04I stared at the shrimp for a long time then set my fork down
10:10no need
10:11I'm full
10:16mom looked embarrassed and a little irritated
10:22what's wrong with you now
10:24just as she was about to say more
10:26Sylvia who was sitting beside her
10:28suddenly grabbed her throat
10:30her facial expression changed instantly
10:35mom I can't breathe
10:39when my parents and Zachariah rushed to Sylvia's side and saw the hives spreading across her skin
10:44they panicked
10:48she's having an allergic reaction
10:51how could this happen all of a sudden
10:54mom's gaze flicked around then landed on me
10:59the next second
11:00she slapped me with all her strength
11:06I staggered
11:07couldn't steady myself
11:08and fell to the floor
11:09my head buzzed
11:13Rebecca what did you put in the food
11:15don't you remember what Sylvia's allergic to
11:17Zachariah looked at me with utter disappointment
11:20I knew it
11:21it was weird that you were acting so agreeable
11:25you were really planning to hurt Sylve
11:29Rebecca
11:30how can I have such a vicious sister
11:35enough
11:35stop yelling
11:39take Sylve to the hospital first
11:42dad slammed the table
11:44and only then did mom and Zachariah tear their hateful glares away from me
11:48my whole family rushed out in a blind panic
11:51and I was the only one left sitting on the floor
11:53holding my swollen cheek in a daze
11:57it wasn't me
11:58I wanted to say it so badly
12:02but things like this had happened too many times
12:04and I knew they wouldn't believe me even if I said it
12:09so I would just forget about it
12:13one of the house staff came running over after hearing the commotion
12:16she tried to help me up
12:18but froze when she saw my hands
12:20Miss Rebecca
12:21what happened to your hands
12:24why are they so swollen
12:26I'm fine
12:28I rejected her help
12:29stood up on my own
12:31and went upstairs to my room
12:36I picked up the notebook on my desk
12:38as a flood of memories surged through me
12:40when I was eight
12:41our family had very little money
12:43all five of us squeezed into one old cramped house
12:51my parents were overwhelmed with work and couldn't take care of three kids at the same time
12:55they decided one of us needed to be sent to our grandparents in the countryside
13:01but Zachariah was about to start high school at a critical time
13:04and Sylvia was too young and frail for them to feel at ease sending her away
13:11I didn't want to see my parents looking so stressed
13:13so I lifted my hand and volunteered
13:18and just like that
13:19I was sent to the countryside
13:23before I left
13:24mom stroked my head and said I was the most sensible child
13:29but no one told me the price of being sensible
13:31was that I would stay there for eight whole years
13:35for eight years
13:36except for the new year
13:37I didn't see my parents
13:40Zachariah or Sylvia
13:44I watched their clothes get nicer every year
13:46and could guess that life at home had improved a lot
13:50I kept waiting for mom and dad to bring me home
13:53but I grew from an elementary schooler into a high schooler
13:57and even after my aging grandparents passed away
14:00they still hadn't come for me
14:04I only returned once
14:06there was no one left to take care of me
14:07the tiny rundown house in my memories was gone
14:12in its place stood a three-story villa
14:17the room they gave me was on the first floor corner
14:19it was nothing like Zachariah's room filled with books and gaming gear
14:23nor like Sylvia's room overflowing with girlish decorations
14:29it mirrored my place in this family never important enough to matter and always easy to overlook
14:37I packed the few belongings I had and stuffed them into my suitcase
14:43the wedding leave I had requested from my advisor
14:46I was about to call him to say I would be back tomorrow when my phone suddenly rang
14:56it was Eugene
14:59I thought he was calling about wedding follow-ups
15:02but the moment I picked up he started yelling
15:06Rebecca what did you do to Syl?
15:13the man who was always calm and composed had lost it twice in one day
15:19the first time was when he heard Sylvia was back in the country
15:23the second time was because she went to the hospital
15:28I found it funny considering he was supposed to be my fiance
15:35she had an allergic reaction
15:38so it was you wasn't it?
15:40how could you do that to your own sister?
15:43his voice was thick with anger
15:45Rebecca
15:47I always thought you were a kind person
15:49but just because of something this small
15:51you sent Syl to the hospital
15:53do you even have a conscience?
15:56I listened to his accusations
15:58too tired to bother explaining
16:02yeah
16:03guess I don't
16:05it's my fault
16:07I'll apologize to her when she gets back
16:10are you happy now?
16:12if you've said everything you needed to say
16:14I'm hanging up
16:16I have things to do
16:20Eugene froze
16:21he clearly didn't expect this reaction
16:25before this
16:26we had fought countless times over Sylvia
16:30on dates
16:31he would get lost in conversation with her
16:34at meals
16:35he would forget my food allergies
16:37but always order her favorites
16:40whenever I accused him of crossing lines
16:43he would respond with
16:44you're overthinking
16:45she's your sister
16:47I'm just looking after her for you
16:51his indifference made me look like
16:53some controlling
16:53jealous lunatic
16:56my parents and Zachariah
16:58took his side every time
16:59saying I was too possessive
17:03so when Sylvia left the country for a year
17:05I shamefully felt relieved
17:09but I had been starving for affection
17:11for so long
17:12that I forgot broken glass cuts
17:15I kept clutching those shards
17:16long after they should have been dropped
17:18and now all I was left with
17:20were bleeding hands
17:24Rebecca you'd better mean what you said
17:28if anything happens to Syl again
17:30you can forget about our wedding
17:33Eugene's voice carried a clear threat
17:38I heard him get out of the car
17:39the door slamming shut
17:40and the noise around him
17:42suddenly growing louder
17:44I could tell he was going to the hospital
17:46probably rushing in to check on Sylvia
17:50he was using my name as an excuse
17:52just so he could fuss over the woman
17:54he actually cared about
17:55did he really think I was stupid enough
17:57to fall for it?
18:00I let out a dry laugh
18:02hung up
18:03and called Raiden
18:07by the time my parents and Zachariah
18:09finally dragged themselves home
18:11exhausted
18:12I had already finished packing
18:13and was ready to move into the dorms
18:18just in time to hear mom sigh
18:21if only Gino's family were better off
18:24he and Syl would make such a good match
18:28look at him
18:29he's so attentive
18:32my steps faltered
18:35then dad spoke
18:38yeah
18:39he's decent looking too
18:41I think Syl actually likes him
18:46if I had known earlier
18:48I wouldn't have arranged for Eugene and Rebecca to meet
18:55don't overthink it
18:56mom said
18:58I can't bear the thought of Syl suffering with him
19:01better for Eugene to be with Rebecca
19:03they match each other
19:08besides
19:08Syl is going to be a pianist
19:13even if he's her brother-in-law
19:14he can still spoil her
19:18she kept talking
19:19then lifted her head
19:20and saw me standing on the stairs
19:23she jolted back a couple of steps in panic
19:28Rebecca?
19:31what are you doing here?
19:33mom must have assumed the lights were off
19:35because I was asleep
19:37who knew how much of their conversation I had heard
19:41I ignored the faint sting in my chest
19:43and walked right past her
19:48I have things to take care of at school
19:50I'm heading back
19:52seeing that I looked calm
19:53my parents exchanged a glance
19:55and finally relaxed
19:57Zachariah frowned when he noticed the suitcase at my side
20:00you're taking luggage to school?
20:02what?
20:03are you afraid we'll accountable for Syl's allergy?
20:06are you planning to run away?
20:08the moment he brought it up
20:10my parents
20:10who had looked guilty just seconds earlier
20:13straightened their backs
20:14and towered over me with righteous indignation
20:17right!
20:18we almost forgot!
20:21Rebecca
20:21do you realize Sel ended up in the hospital because of you?
20:25you won't apologize?
20:27and now you want to walk away?
20:32do you think you can get off that easily?
20:37irritation crept up my spine
20:39when I saw they were worked up
20:41and clearly unwilling to back down
20:42I pulled out my phone
20:45dialed Sylvia
20:46and put the call on speaker
20:47she was awake now
20:50at that moment
20:51she was basking in Eugene's attentive care
20:54the moment she picked up
20:56her voice dripped with faux innocence
20:58Becca?
21:00why are you calling me?
21:02did someone tell you Gino is here
21:04taking care of me?
21:06are you upset about that?
21:08the moment Sylvia's voice came through
21:10my parents and Zachariah both froze
21:13they could hardly believe that such petty
21:16spiteful words were coming out of the mouth of the daughter and sister they adored
21:20I didn't care what they were thinking
21:22nor did I care about Eugene hovering over her
21:25I said flatly
21:26hmm
21:26Eugene's taking good care of you
21:32everyone listening was stunned
21:36Sylvia too
21:37sounded confused
21:40Becca are you serious?
21:42of course
21:43I replied without hesitation
21:49I don't know what exactly
21:51triggered your allergy
21:52but I'll apologize anyway
21:54I'm sorry
21:59before anyone could react
22:01I hung up cleanly
22:02then looked at my family
22:04every one of them was dumbfounded
22:07can I go now?
22:08I asked calmly
22:11this time
22:12no one even tried to stop me
22:15I didn't bother taking Zachariah's snide remark
22:18why aren't you throwing a fit now?
22:20to heart
22:22back at school
22:23I switched my phone to airplane mode
22:26and locked myself in the lab
22:27working non-stop for 13 straight days
22:33I didn't step out of the lab
22:34until the day before my departure
22:36when I finally finished my experiments
22:41the moment I turned my phone back on
22:43it exploded with notifications
22:48there were messages from everyone my family
22:50Eugene
22:51and a flood of texts from my friends
22:55I opened my friend Eleanor Hamilton's conversation first
23:01she was furious
23:02she had sent 70 or 80 messages in a row
23:05all cursing out Eugene and Sylvia
23:09then she sent a screenshot from Sylvia's Instagram
23:15it was a family portrait
23:16my parents
23:17Zachariah, Sylvia
23:19and even Eugene
23:20were in the photo
23:22he was standing next to Sylvia
23:24staring at her like a knight guarding his princess
23:27his eyes were soft and full of devotion
23:32Sylvia's caption read
23:34with the people I love most
23:36the audacity nearly sent Eleanor over the edge
23:40she ranted endlessly
23:41and even commented under the post
23:46your sister isn't even there
23:47it looks like your brother-in-law is taking good care of you
23:52I soothed her with a few replies
23:54before opening the rest of my messages
24:00without exception
24:01every message scolded me for letting Eleanor bully poor Syl
24:07I apologized one by one
24:09just as I was about to lock my phone
24:12Zachariah called
24:15Rebecca what the hell is going on?
24:17why haven't we been able to reach you?
24:20you have no idea how worried we have been the past few days
24:26right after he said that
24:28I heard Sylvia's bright
24:29sugary voice in the background
24:31dad mom Jenna
24:33look at this carousel
24:34it's so pretty
24:35so they were at an amusement park
24:38I asked softly
24:40worried?
24:42that single word made Zachariah choke up
24:45it took him a long time to respond
24:48well
24:50yeah
24:50we couldn't reach you
24:53if you were around
24:54you could have come too
24:59besides
24:59it's all your friend's fault
25:01Sylvia's sensitive
25:02she cried for hours after seeing that comment
25:04we had to bring her out to cheer her up
25:06I already apologized
25:08he went quiet again
25:10as if he had no idea what to say next
25:12after a long pause he muttered
25:16good
25:16you finally learned to behave
25:19the next second Eugene snatched the phone
25:23his deep annoyed voice cut through the speaker
25:26Rebecca did you tell your friend to leave that comment?
25:29why is your mind always so dirty?
25:31I've told you so many times
25:33that Sylvia is your sister
25:36I'm only looking after her for you
25:37your whole family does that
25:39I know you're jealous
25:40cause everyone likes Syl more
25:42but that's not her fault
25:46maybe you should think about
25:48why no one likes you
25:51my grip on the phone tightened
25:53when I heard him run his mouth like that
25:57when we first started dating
25:58I had told Eugene about how my family treated me
26:03back then
26:04he held me and said he would always be on my side
26:09now he told me to reflect on why myself
26:16but I didn't feel sad
26:18a little over 10 days ago
26:21back at my parents place
26:23I finally learned the truth that Eugene had never liked me
26:29he had just been playing a part
26:33and once the act landed
26:34he could stay by the woman he actually wanted
26:38protect her
26:39spoil her
26:40and never let go
26:42what I thought was fate
26:44had never been anything more than a script
26:45they rehearsed together
26:51sometimes I wanted to ask why
26:54but there was no point
26:57love that wasn't there was simply not there
26:59whether it was family or romance
27:01it didn't need a reason
27:04on the other end of the line
27:05Eugene started stammering apologies
27:07clearly realizing he had gone too far
27:12it didn't matter anymore
27:17I glanced at the flight information
27:19my colleague had sent me
27:20and spoke calmly
27:27Eugene?
27:30let's break up
27:31I was done being someone's tool
27:34I was leaving
27:36hearing my words
27:37the other end of the call
27:39went dead silent
27:42just as I was about to hang up
27:43Eugene suddenly laughed
27:46he was full of confidence
27:47like he had me completely figured out
27:51Rebecca
27:51are you sure
27:53you spent so long
27:54preparing for that wedding
27:55there's no way
27:56you actually want to break up
28:00I sighed
28:03so you do know
28:04I spent a long time preparing
28:07he seemed convinced
28:08I was just throwing another tantrum
28:09and spoke helplessly
28:12stop it
28:13I already told you
28:15that I'll make it up to you
28:20acting like this
28:22won't work on me
28:23I didn't have the energy
28:24to explain anything further
28:26when I heard him and Zachariah
28:28arguing in the background
28:32I simply hung up
28:34then I blocked every number
28:35belonging to my family
28:37and to Eugene
28:42that night
28:43I slept deeply
28:44and had a dream
28:48in my dream
28:49a little girl
28:50dressed differently
28:51from her siblings
28:52sat at a desk
28:54writing in her diary
28:56she held a pen
28:57and wrote the number one
28:58in a new notebook
28:59mumbling to herself
29:01if it ever reaches 99
29:03I won't want mom
29:05dad
29:06Zach
29:06or Syl anymore
29:08she paused
29:08then crossed out the number
29:10and wrote 0.5 instead
29:12mom and dad forgot
29:13to buy clothes
29:13for me again
29:14the kids at school
29:15laughed at my old outfit
29:17I felt sad
29:19but this is the best
29:20I have
29:21today
29:22Syl said
29:23I stole her things
29:25mom and dad
29:27beat me
29:28I didn't steal anything
29:30I was trying to clean it
29:32for her
29:35Syl wanted garlic butter shrimp
29:37I cooked it
29:39mom and dad forgot
29:41I'm allergic to seafood
29:43my hands swelled
29:45it hurts a lot
29:47it's Syl's birthday
29:49the cake
29:50is so pretty
29:51I want a birthday too
29:53but mom and dad
29:54forgot mine
29:55comes two days earlier
29:59I watched silently
30:00as she filled the notebook
30:01page after page
30:02sometimes listing fractions
30:03sometimes whole numbers
30:06she made excuses
30:07for her family
30:08over and over
30:09her face grew
30:10increasingly numb
30:11when the notebook
30:13was almost full
30:14the wedding she had hoped
30:15for fell apart too
30:16the number stopped
30:18at 99
30:19I found myself
30:20staring straight
30:21into the eyes
30:22of the girl
30:22in the wedding dress
30:24I should have left
30:25earlier
30:26she said
30:27I nodded
30:28but it's not too late now
30:33when I boarded the plane
30:34all those heavy feelings
30:36I had recorded
30:37all the resentment
30:39disappointment
30:39and wound
30:41stayed behind
30:41on that land
30:44I threw myself
30:46into studying
30:46with everything
30:47I had
30:49being alone
30:50in a foreign country
30:51could feel lonely
30:52but unlike Sylvia
30:54I didn't look for someone
30:56to complain to
30:56I used every spare moment
30:59to fill myself up again
31:00like a sponge
31:02I absorbed everything
31:03I'd never had the chance
31:04to learn before
31:04eventually
31:05my lab mates begged me
31:07to stop overworking
31:08and force me
31:08to take a break
31:10I returned to my dorm
31:12and lay on my bed
31:14while chatting
31:15with Eleanor
31:16she suddenly mentioned
31:17my family and Eugene
31:18sounding gleeful
31:21Becca
31:21you won't believe it
31:23after you left
31:23Eugene and the Meyer family
31:25practically went crazy
31:28crazy?
31:29I murmured
31:32I typed a casual reply
31:34impossible
31:35they don't care
31:36about me that much
31:37Eleanor sent a quick
31:38message back
31:39who knows
31:40but apparently
31:41they've been trying
31:42every possible way
31:43to contact you
31:45I nodded
31:46that finally explained
31:48all the recent
31:49unknown numbers
31:50calling me
31:51but since I never
31:52answer unfamiliar calls
31:54I always ignored them
31:58it turned out
31:59they were from
31:59my family
32:00and Eugene
32:03as I was thinking
32:04this
32:04another unknown
32:06number came in
32:08I hesitated
32:09then answered
32:10to my surprise
32:11it was mom
32:12the moment
32:13the call connected
32:14she sounded emotional
32:16Becca
32:16you finally picked up
32:18where did you
32:18run off to?
32:20why did you
32:20block all of us?
32:22we thought
32:22something happened
32:23to you
32:25she paused
32:26then spoke stiffly
32:29we shouldn't have
32:30ignored your feelings
32:31before
32:32come home
32:33we'll celebrate
32:35your birthday
32:37her sudden change
32:38in tone
32:39was too abnormal
32:39I immediately
32:41thought of the
32:42notebook I had
32:42tossed into the
32:43trash before leaving
32:44and figured they
32:45must have fished it
32:45out and read my
32:46diary
32:4799 numbers
32:48and far more
32:49than 99 wounds
32:52no wonder
32:53they were suddenly
32:53drowning in guilt
32:54and desperate
32:55to make it up
32:55to me
32:56but what did
32:57it change?
32:59doing something
33:00that hurt me
33:01and then coming
33:01back asking
33:02for forgiveness
33:03didn't prove
33:03they cared
33:06it only proved
33:07they wanted
33:07to soothe
33:08their own
33:08conscience
33:09I said coldly
33:11no need
33:12I don't like
33:13celebrating birthdays
33:16mom choked
33:17on my words
33:18and was left
33:18speechless
33:19for a long
33:19moment
33:21when she finally
33:22spoke again
33:22she tried to
33:23persuade me
33:24to come home
33:24soon
33:26I looked around
33:27my small dorm room
33:29it wasn't big
33:30but everything
33:31inside it was
33:32mine
33:32I had chosen
33:33them
33:35this place
33:36was where
33:37I finally felt
33:37I belonged
33:41no need
33:42I'm already
33:43home
33:43I said it
33:44calmly
33:45then hung up
33:47I had assumed
33:48my refusal
33:49that day
33:49was clear
33:50enough
33:51but one
33:52afternoon
33:53after finishing
33:54my experiments
33:55and stepping
33:56out of the
33:56lab
33:57I saw
33:58the very
33:59last group
33:59of people
34:00I wanted
34:00to face
34:00standing at
34:01the entrance
34:01of my
34:02apartment
34:02building
34:05it was
34:06dad
34:06mom
34:08Zachariah
34:08and Eugene
34:11when they saw
34:12me
34:12all of them
34:13looked shaken
34:15Beck
34:15you're finally
34:17back
34:19Zachariah
34:19started toward
34:20me
34:20but Eugene
34:21shoved past
34:22him and planted
34:22himself directly
34:23in front of
34:24me
34:26Beck
34:26long time
34:27no see
34:29he looked
34:30haggard
34:30eyes red
34:31like he hadn't
34:32slept in days
34:33the old me
34:33might have felt
34:34a sting of
34:34sympathy
34:36now I only
34:37felt annoyed
34:38we already
34:39broke up
34:39why are you
34:40here
34:41Eugene's eyes
34:42reddened even
34:43more
34:44I didn't agree
34:45to break up
34:48we just had
34:48a misunderstanding
34:52a breakup
34:53doesn't need
34:53your consent
34:55I said
34:55calmly
34:57then looked
34:57toward my
34:58family standing
34:59awkwardly to
35:00the side
35:03I heard
35:03everything you
35:04said that day
35:05my parents
35:05and Zachariah
35:06went pale
35:07in an instant
35:07and even
35:08Eugene's eyes
35:09widened as
35:09the truth
35:10finally hit
35:11him
35:11I continued
35:12with the
35:13truth I
35:13had pieced
35:13together
35:15Eugene has
35:16always liked
35:17Sylvia

35:19think his
35:19family background

35:20enough for
35:20her
35:23so you
35:24pushed him
35:24towards me
35:25instead
35:26that way
