00:00My husband pinned me down on an operating table.
00:03He forced me to abort our baby at 8 months.
00:07Evelyn, his pregnant mistress, stood nearby and watched.
00:12He didn't know he was sterile.
00:14Only I could carry his child.
00:16Evelyn's baby wasn't even his.
00:18He had just killed the only child he would ever have.
00:21I found out during today's checkup,
00:23Alistair skipped our usual public hospital.
00:26He took me to a suburban research center.
00:28He swapped my prenatal care for an abortion plan.
00:32I thought it was a system error.
00:33No error.
00:34I have something to tell you.
00:36I have a girlfriend, Evelyn.
00:38She's been with me since before we married.
00:40But she's pregnant.
00:41Her child needs the Ford last name.
00:43So you want a divorce?
00:44He wiped gel off my stomach laughing.
00:46What are you talking about?
00:47You're my only wife.
00:49And your parents are gone?
00:50Where would you even go if we got a divorce?
00:52Just adopt Evelyn's child.
00:54We're terminating your pregnancy.
00:55I can't risk you putting your own child first.
00:57He handed me the consent form.
00:59Be sweet.
01:00You'll always be Mrs. Ford.
01:02He said it like he was canceling an order.
01:04Not killing our eight-month-old baby.
01:06I turned toward the operating room.
01:08No!
01:09Don't bother Alistair Ford!
01:12I hope you never regret today's decision!
01:19I didn't wake up until three days later.
01:21The doctor's voice came first.
01:23Mr. Ford, that was reckless.
01:24Eight months is very dangerous.
01:27But demanding a hysterectomy too, your wife nearly bled out.
01:30Alistair's voice held no concern.
01:32I promised Evelyn only one child hurt.
01:35Ensuring Audrey can't conceive again was safest.
01:39He saw me wake, no panic.
01:41He tucked me in, his tone mocking.
01:43I didn't expect the bleeding.
01:45But Evelyn's top medical team was on standby.
01:48Her doctor saved your life.
01:50You should thank her.
01:54Alistair Ford.
01:56I punched at his face with all my strength.
01:57You're a monster!
01:58My hand grazed his cheek, leaving no mark.
02:01Just then a small figure flew over.
02:04How dare you hit him!
02:05He sat outside the ICU for three days waiting for you!
02:09I caught Alistair's tender, pained gaze.
02:11I had seen that expression before.
02:14I'll take this.
02:16He looked at me that way after I drank in his stead at a business dinner.
02:19Alcohol poisoning cost us our first child.
02:22He held me in pride all night.
02:24Now that same look was for another woman.
02:27And I lay here, no uterus, no child, covered in tubes.
02:34That look.
02:35He had it when loan sharks tried to sever his hands.
02:38I knelt, slamming my forehead until blood flowed, just to save him.
02:42Please, I have the money.
02:44Let him go.
02:45I pawned my mother's only keepsake to pay off his debts.
02:48I did everything for him.
02:51Now, my sacrifice couldn't compete with a new girl's tears.
02:55I dragged my body upright.
02:57So I'm supposed to be grateful?
02:58Grateful he killed my child and took my uterus?
03:00Grateful he sat outside the ICU like that made him a good man?
03:04Evelyn glaired, then snapped.
03:06She grabbed a small knife from the bedside tray.
03:09She pointed the blade at her own pregnant belly.
03:11Oh, cut the baby out!
03:13I'll tear my womb out for you!
03:14Are you happy now?
03:15Evelyn.
03:16Alistair caught her, gripping the blade with his bare palm.
03:19Blood dripped from his hand.
03:21He looked at me, cold.
03:23Are you seeing this?
03:24Do you see what you've pushed Emeline into her baby for your feelings?
03:27Are you satisfied?
03:29With that, he grabbed Evelyn and walked away.
03:31My stitches weren't even out yet.
03:34Every breath felt like a knife twisting in my gut.
03:37Ten years.
03:38I gave him everything, only to receive a blank life.
03:41That afternoon, the housekeeper messaged me.
03:44The door codes were changed.
03:45The note was just a single line.
03:48I sat alone, surgical stitches throbbing.
03:51Dusk fell outside the window.
03:52I closed my eyes, remembering when we had nothing ten years ago.
04:03I stood at my front door as darkness fell.
04:06I entered the code repeatedly, but it was wrong every time.
04:09Agon and again I tried, failing over and over.
04:12Then the housekeeper opened the door.
04:14Don't even think about touching Mr. Ford's things without an apology.
04:18This is his property, and you're not stepping foot inside until you've said you're sorry.
04:22She sized me up.
04:23Just apologize.
04:24You have no family, no money, you're over 30 and in Fordal.
04:27He has a young pregnant woman, how can you even compete?
04:29I stood there, the night wind pouring into my wounds.
04:32She was right.
04:33Uterus gone.
04:34Child gone.
04:35My final dignity stripped bare.
04:37I laughed.
04:38For the first time in all of this, I actually laughed out loud.
04:41The housekeeper recoiled two steps, a fire burned inside me.
04:45Not despair, but clarity.
04:47It was a bone-deep rage.
04:48Go to hell.
04:50I walked into the night with only one thought.
04:53Alistair Ford, you think you've won everything.
04:55But your deadliest secret has been in my hands for ten years.
04:59Your infertility report.
05:01I hid it, thinking I'd keep it forever.
05:03Now, I will deliver it myself.
05:06She didn't understand.
05:07I was laughing at my decade of stupidity.
05:10Giving a worthless man everything.
05:12Then losing the right to your own doorstep.
05:14It was the most ridiculous thing in the world.
05:16But now, I'm awake.
05:18Completely, utterly awake.
05:23I scraped together my last change to print a dozen reports.
05:27Alistair's infertility diagnosis was inside.
05:29So was enough company intel to ruin him.
05:32I sent them all to his competitors.
05:34Tell them it's a gift from Mrs. Ford.
05:36They'll tip you well.
05:37This was my final gift to you, Alistair.
05:39I hope you like it.
05:40Last letter mailed.
05:41I returned to the east side studio where Alistair and I began.
05:45Ten years ago, we had nothing.
05:47We rented the cheapest place in the worst neighborhood.
05:50Even instant noodles were considered a luxury back then.
05:52I'm not hungry.
05:53Alistair would claim he wasn't hungry and give me the only egg.
05:56Our wedding was held there with no guests.
05:58Just a silver ring for under $200.
06:01This place held so much meaning.
06:02I secretly bought it after moving to the mansion.
06:05I turned the key and pushed open the door.
06:07Two tangled bodies were on the sofa.
06:10They wore matching pajamas I had left in the closet.
06:13Clothes Alistair and I wore when we had nothing else.
06:16Now Alistair and Evelyn were wearing them.
06:19I stood at the door and took a deep breath.
06:21It still smelled like the old days.
06:23The wall crack we patched together was still there.
06:26The pothos on the windowsill had long since died.
06:29I imagined moving back here to spend our final years together.
06:32I never thought I'd return this way.
06:42Alistair!
06:43Why bring her here?
06:44You know what this place is!
06:45Before I could finish, Evelyn slapped herself hard.
06:48Her cheek swelled, eyes pooling with tears.
06:51Mrs. Ford, I only wanted to see where Alistair used to live.
06:54If you're upset, I'll kneel and apologize right now.
06:57Alistair cupped her face, gently blowing on the red marks.
07:00He threw a cold look at the security guard.
07:03The guard grabbed my arms.
07:05A palm struck my face repeatedly, one blow after another.
07:08Finally, they let go.
07:09And I crumpled to the ground.
07:11Why must you cause trouble?
07:13Go home and rest if you're sick.
07:15I tasted blood.
07:16I looked up, tears and blood mixing.
07:18You can go anywhere with anyone.
07:20But why destroy this place?
07:21By 30, you're rotten to the core.
07:24So why ruin the only thing your 20-year-old self left me?
07:27I'm rotten?
07:29Without me, you'd rot in this dump forever.
07:32He dragged me out.
07:33The demolition crew arrived.
07:35One order.
07:36The apartment holding our memories turned to dust.
07:39I stood before the ruins as ash settled in my hair.
07:42Evelyn looked back and smirked.
07:44A winner's smile.
07:45We married here.
07:46You swore to love only me.
07:48Now you're on our sofa with another woman.
07:51Wearing our pajamas.
07:53And you tell me I'm the one making a scene?
07:58Tears ran down my face.
08:00Alistair stared at my tears, his voice cold.
08:02What's it going to take for you to understand?
08:04I gave you the Ford name.
08:06The city's best mansion.
08:08Bags worth more than most people's cars.
08:11What else must I do for you?
08:12You're 30.
08:13You can't honestly expect me to still love you.
08:15I gave you status.
08:16I gave you comfort.
08:17Just make room for Evelyn and my baby.
08:18No.
08:19You personally burned everything we had.
08:23I want a divorce.
08:24Divorce?
08:25No way.
08:25Even without love, you're still the most important person to me.
08:28I will never divorce you.
08:29Evelyn.
08:30I found you too late.
08:33I'll give you the city's biggest ceremony.
08:36Everyone will know you are the one I love.
08:39I'm your chosen one.
08:41The world should know.
08:43They will.
08:44You deserve it.
08:45I stood behind them, silent.
08:47Celebrate all you want.
08:49My gift is already on the way.
08:51Before he was done speaking, he turned, took Evelyn by the hand, and led her out.
08:56Evelyn glanced back at me.
08:57Her lip curled slightly.
08:58It was so faint, only I could notice.
09:01But I saw it clearly.
09:02It was a triumphant smirk.
09:03I stood before the ruins and made a decision.
09:12Evelyn covered her mouth, her eyes rimmed with red.
09:15But she shook her head.
09:16I can't.
09:18Everyone will call me a mistress.
09:20She turned to me.
09:21No one gets to call me the other woman unless she stands beside me as my bridesmaid.
09:26Holds my bouquet, smiles for the cameras, and tells everyone she's happy for us.
09:31Alistair saw my silence.
09:32His voice dropped.
09:33Audrey, your parents' remains are still in the burial plot I own.
09:39You don't want them moved to some unclaimed public plot, right?
09:43My chest hollowed out.
09:44Even my breath tasted of blood.
09:46Fine.
09:47I'll do it.
09:48Evelyn beamed and threw herself into Alistair's arms.
09:51He stopped at the door.
09:52It's just a ceremony.
09:53You're still Mrs. Ford.
09:55We'll travel after the baby arrives.
09:57Consider it compensation.
09:59Okay.
10:00He didn't know the letters were already on the way.
10:02His deadliest secrets were flying toward every enemy's desk.
10:06Alistair's voice dropped as if talking to himself.
10:08When I was broke, only you stayed.
10:11But understand, wealth changes a man.
10:15His eyes softened for a split second.
10:17Then he turned, took Evelyn's hand, and walked away.
10:20The door closed.
10:21I stood alone in the empty hallway.
10:26On the day of the ceremony, Alistair had security take me to the dressing room early.
10:30Evelyn complained her dress was heavy.
10:32Mrs. Ford, can you help me with my shoes?
10:35Alistair frowned about to speak.
10:37Babe, could you get me some orange juice?
10:39Pretty please?
10:40He smiled and left.
10:43The moment the door closed, she kicked my chest.
10:46She sneered down at me.
10:47You don't really think I'm some naive college girl, do you?
10:50One who just happened to end up in a rich man's bed?
10:53Alistair and I have been together for almost ten years.
10:56He married you while dating me, saying I was too young to suffer.
11:00Whenever he made money, he told you debt creptors took it.
11:03Actually, he spent it all on me.
11:05$180,000 total.
11:07You collapsed at the factory, nearly dragged into the machinery.
11:10Once he found out, he held you, trembling, saying it was all his fault.
11:15All of it, every moment, lies.
11:17The bracelet you risked your life to redeem from loanhearts?
11:20Me.
11:20He gave it to me, calling it cheap street junk.
11:22I thought it was ugly, so I threw it away.
11:24I simply couldn't stand anyone.
11:26For ten years, I lived every day in a carefully scripted scam.
11:30And the man behind it all was the one I nearly died protecting.
11:33Know the funniest part?
11:35He celebrated with me in the bed you bought.
11:39Every single time he took your money.
11:44Then you got pregnant.
11:45I was so angry I wouldn't let him touch me.
11:48So he staged that dinner to get you drunk until you miscarried it.
11:51While you fought for life in surgery, he was on the phone with me.
11:55He was begging me not to be mad.
11:57It hit like a baseball to the skull.
11:59My vision turned black.
12:00He loves me, yet he won't divorce you.
12:02You're nothing but dead weight from the past.
12:04She smiled.
12:05What would he do if you tried to hurt my baby?
12:07My skin crawled.
12:08I bolted for the door.
12:11Glass shattered behind me.
12:13A champagne bottle was held against her own belly.
12:16Then she screamed,
12:17Alistair, save me.
12:18The door exploded inward.
12:20Alistair grabbed my wrist and slammed me to the ground.
12:22Evelyn was curled up, blood seeping from under her robe.
12:25It wasn't me!
12:26You dared hurt the child!
12:29You disgust me!
12:31Evelyn hid in his arms, secretly wiping a smile from her lips.
12:34You hurt Evelyn's child.
12:36Don't blame me for what follows.
12:37There are cameras in the dressing room!
12:40Watch the tape!
12:41It wasn't me!
12:43He didn't look back.
12:44He didn't even hesitate for a single second.
12:49Through tears and terror, I heard his command.
12:52Move her parents' ashes to a public plot.
12:54Get them off my land.
12:56No!
12:58Check the cameras!
13:00Watch the tape!
13:01It wasn't me!
13:02My baby is gone!
13:03What's the point of even living?
13:05I might as well be dead!
13:06Alistair turned pale.
13:07He lunged to pull her back.
13:10He looked at me.
13:11All warmth had vanished.
13:13You've exhausted my last dread of feeling for you.
13:15Take her to the police station.
13:16Tell them to give her special care.
13:18I want her in pain every day.
13:20Two guards dragged me out.
13:21In the hallway, guests whispered and stared.
13:24No one intervened.
13:25I looked back at the closed door.
13:27Inside, Evelyn was giving her life's greatest performance.
13:31The cost was my parents' final resting place.
13:34Evelyn was rushed to the hospital.
13:36Alistair never left her side.
13:38The ear doors shut.
13:40No one knew another act was playing out inside.
13:46In the ER, the doctor spoke to Alistair.
13:49Your child?
13:50Mr. Ford, you have complete azeosiasia.
13:52You're sterile.
13:53Then whose child is it?
13:54Alistair spun around.
13:56Sterile?
13:58Do you have a death wish?
14:00Mr. Ford, I'm not making this up.
14:01This was the result of your premarital fertility screening.
14:03Did Mrs. Ford never tell you?
14:04At the mention of my name, Alistair froze.
14:07Then he laughed.
14:08A twisted, wrong life.
14:09Audrey, how much did she pay you for this act?
14:12To smear Evelyn?
14:12To make me think the baby isn't mine?
14:14He sneered.
14:14Her tricks are pathetic.
14:16If I'm infertile, then what the hell was Audrey pregnant with?
14:19Are you saying she was pregnant by another man?
14:21He was practically born.
14:22She thinks bribing a doctor can fool me?
14:24I've been with Evelyn for ten years!
14:26She thinks some scrap paper erases everything?
14:28He slammed the report down.
14:30Enough!
14:31All you have to do is save my baby.
14:33If anything happens, the whole hospital pays.
14:36The doctor could only nod.
14:37Then the surgery resumed.
14:39Alistair didn't know those scraps of paper were flying to offices at courier speed.
14:43Then his phone rang.
14:48Sir, you must return.
14:50All the rival CEOs are here.
14:51They say they brought gift to you.
14:51Ignore them.
14:52Just a bunch of losers I've crushed.
14:53Have security kick them out.
14:54I only care about Evelyn and my baby.
14:58He was about to hang up, then stopped.
15:00And what about my wife?
15:01Has she apologized?
15:02If so, take her to the hospital.
15:05If she cares for Evelyn, I'll drop this.
15:08Not sure, sir.
15:09Then never mind.
15:09Let her sit and think it through.
15:10He paused again.
15:12By the way, how is Audrey?
15:13Did anyone at least check on Audrey?
15:15It's cold outside.
15:17Didn't you say to let her reflect on her own?
15:18Alistair was silent for three seconds.
15:21Never mind.
15:21Just do as I said.
15:22He hung up.
15:23His palms were slick with sweat for some reason.
15:25He walked toward the ER.
15:27His hand touched the doorknob.
15:29Then came Evelyn's voice from inside.
15:30I told you, I don't want you saving this kid!
15:32Get rid of it!
15:33I'll give you $100,000!
15:35Alistair will never know.
15:36Just say, Audrey hurt me and my baby died.
15:40Alistair's hand froze in midair.
15:42His entire body went rigid.
15:47Alistair pushed the door open.
15:49Everyone inside froze.
15:51Evelyn's face turned deathly pear.
15:53Her hand hung suspended in midair.
15:55Her eyes darted frantically between Alistair and the doctor.
15:58He stared at her, his voice a mere whisper.
16:01What did you say?
16:02What does get rid of it mean?
16:04Our baby can be saved.
16:06Why don't you want it?
16:07One second.
16:09Two seconds.
16:09Then, her acting skills kicked in.
16:12Tears flowed on command.
16:13Her voice shattered perfectly.
16:15She had won countless times with this trick over ten years.
16:18Alistair, since Mrs. Ford doesn't want it born, I'm granting her wish.
16:22She hates this child so much, she'll find a way to kill it after birth.
16:24Better to end it now.
16:25Evelyn, stop.
16:26Our baby is innocent.
16:27But this time, Alistair's suspicion didn't completely disappear.
16:30And what about those words about blaming Audrey?
16:34Evelyn stiffened her.
16:35Are you taking her side?
16:37Her face full of agony.
16:38Look at me.
16:38I'm falling apart and you're defending her?
16:40She sobbed uncontrollably.
16:42I've decided.
16:43I'll buy a plane ticket and leave after my baby is born.
16:46I won't stand in your path anymore!
16:52Alistair's expression shifted.
16:54He grabbed her shoulders.
16:56Leave me?
16:57I won't allow it.
16:58Neither you nor the baby are leaving.
17:00Whoever hurt you will pay the price.
17:02Will you punish her for me?
17:04Yes.
17:05She dared hurt you and the child.
17:08She'll face the consequences.
17:10Evelyn leaned against him.
17:13Then, will you divorce her?
17:16Alistair fell silent for a long time.
17:19She'll never get near the baby.
17:22But my baby needs an official family name.
17:27You said you loved me most.
17:29And you haven't loved her for a long time.
17:32Alistair closed his eyes.
17:33After a long pause, he said,
17:35You're the one I love most.
17:39But thinking of divorcing her, it feels wrong.
17:41Like something is being forcely ripped out.
17:44Maybe I'm too sentimental.
17:46I'll send her a Grodd.
17:48She'll never appear before you again.
17:50Evelyn finally smiled and nodded.
17:52The baby is fine.
17:53She can be discharged.
17:55The ceremonies is in an hour.
17:58Leaving now, we can still make it.
18:00Alistair looked at her and smiled.
18:03Fine.
18:04As you wish.
18:05In that moment, it hit me deep down.
18:07He'd always known the answer.
18:09He just couldn't bring himself to face it.
18:14Evelyn emerged in her gown.
18:16Alistair stood by her side.
18:18The host raised the microphone.
18:20Wait.
18:20A voice called from the back of the room.
18:22Several men in expensive suits stood up,
18:24their faces beaming with pleasure.
18:26How could we miss such a grand event without gifts?
18:29Alistair's heart turned to ice.
18:31Your gifts can wait until after the ceremony.
18:33But Evelyn recognized them.
18:35The industry's biggest names.
18:37She knew nothing of the bad blood between them and Alistair.
18:40Oh, thank you.
18:41What gifts?
18:42Show me.
18:42A thought flashed.
18:44If it were Audrey, she wouldn't do this.
18:46She would have sensed the danger before anyone spoke.
18:49She likely would have stopped them before they even entered the room.
18:52He was startled.
18:54Why think of Audrey?
18:55He forced the thought down.
18:57Evelyn was the one he protected.
18:59She didn't need to understand these things.
19:01Since Evelyn wants to see, go ahead.
19:04Everyone wore a knowing smile.
19:06One man raised his hand and clapped twice.
19:08Then the lights died.
19:10The massive LED screen ignited.
19:17Audio of a woman's moan spilled from the speakers.
19:20The screen showed Evelyn, nearly naked, pinned under a man.
19:24Not Alistair.
19:25Alistair's pupils contracted.
19:27He recognized that face.
19:29Her college classmate.
19:30What if you get pregnant?
19:31Even better.
19:32I tried so long but never conceived his child.
19:34I won't force a divorce.
19:35I'll make him beg me to marry him.
19:37For the sake of the child.
19:38Perfect.
19:39I'd use your stern and pass the baby off as Alistair's.
19:41The classmate laughed.
19:43The city's richest man will raise my kid.
19:45A collective gasp filled the room.
19:47Alistair's smile froze.
19:48He expected photos of him and Evelyn.
19:50He didn't care.
19:51But that footage shattered everything he built in ten years.
19:55It's not true!
19:56It's fake!
19:57It's AI!
19:57Someone is out to destroy me!
19:59The rivals laughed.
20:00Mr. Ford, it's not over.
20:02Gift two.
20:03A paternity test.
20:04Oh, and one more thing.
20:05We brought the baby's real father.
20:10White papers cascaded from above, covering the venue like snow.
20:14A man was dragged through the side door, his face ashen.
20:17She approached me!
20:19It had nothing to do with me!
20:21Alistair bent down, trembling as he picked up a report.
20:36A cold sneer rose from the crowd.
20:39We have the answer right here.
20:41This is your pre-wetable screening from ten years ago.
20:44Mr. Ford, you are indeed completely sterile.
20:49As for Mrs. Ford, her genetics are extremely rare.
20:52She is the only person recorded who could activate your sperm.
20:55Simply put, she was the only woman who could bear your child.
20:58The doctor looked at Alistair.
21:00Mrs. Ford found out and kept it to herself.
21:03Told no one.
21:04She stayed.
21:05Knowing she was the only woman who could give you a biological child.
21:09And you?
21:10You destroyed them both.
21:12The doctor looked at Alistair, hesitating.
21:16At least you still have one biological child.
21:18Treasure her.
21:19Treasure that baby.
21:23The words hit him.
21:25Alistair staggered back, legs buckling as he collapsed.
21:29My baby.
21:30My precious baby.
21:31He clawed at his hair.
21:33What have I done?
21:34I killed my own child with my own hands!
21:37Footsteps echoed at the entrance.
21:39The uniformed cop said,
21:41Evelyn Parker, you're suspected of false reporting.
21:44Forgery and obstruction of justice.
21:46Follow us.
21:47Evelyn lunged at Alistair.
21:49Save me!
21:49I can't go to prison!
21:51You promised to protect me!
21:53Alistair looked up.
21:54His eyes were hollow.
21:57Evelyn Parker, you lied to me.
22:00For you, for another man's bastard,
22:03I hurt the only person who loved me.
22:05I killed my only child.
22:08I'll make you pay for everything!
22:11Wild, desperate screams filled the air.
22:13They dragged her toward the exit.
22:15Her screams faded down the hall until they disappeared.
22:19No!
22:19No!
22:20Let me go!
22:21Alistair lunged to his feet and grabbed his assistant's collar.
22:25Where is Audrey?
22:26I'll give her everything.
22:27The company.
22:28The money.
22:29Everything.
22:29Let me see her!
22:30The assistant's face was ashen.
22:32He remained silent for a long time.
22:34Sir.
22:35Mrs. Ford has already left.
22:37The ceremony was ruined.
22:39Alistair's face was a mess of tears,
22:40his eyes bloodshot with madness.
22:43I'll kneel and beg her if she'll just forgive me.
22:46I'll kneel and beg her if she'll just forgive me.
22:51Sir.
22:53She told me to deliver one final message before she went.
22:56Alistair trembled all over.
22:58What message?
23:02From today we are over.
23:05Never to meet again in this life or the next.
23:08Afterward, the Sterling Group collapsed.
23:10The scandal exploded online.
23:13Infertility.
23:13A fake ceremony.
23:14A decade-long mistress with another man's child.
23:17Partners withdrew.
23:19Stocks plummeted.
23:20Within months, the company was bankrupt.
23:22Rivals carved up the assets.
23:24Someone saw Alistair Ford one last time alone in an empty office.
23:28On his desk sat a silver ring worth less than $200.
23:32The rival CEOs wired money to my account.
23:35I didn't refuse.
23:36It was what they paid for the information.
23:38I used the money to open a cafe.
23:40Small with good light.
23:42Every morning, I ground beans and brewed coffee myself.
23:45In the afternoon, I read behind the counter.
23:48Life was quiet.
23:49It was enough.
23:50One day, while wiping a cup, I looked up.
23:52A man stood outside the window.
23:54He was thinner.
23:55His clothes no longer fit.
23:57He stared at me through the glass but didn't try to enter.
24:00I put down the cup, turned around, and walked to the back.
24:05Later, I heard he knelt in the rain all night outside the shop.
24:08He kept repeating.
24:16I was wrong.
24:18I was wrong.
24:48Some things cannot be solved by those three words.
24:49Because it is peaceful.
24:52I was wrong.
24:53I was wrong.
24:54I was wrong.
24:54I was wrong.
24:55I was wrong.
