00:00The creature never imagined that her first human friend would use one of her belongings to take her own life
00:04at home.
00:05All because not long before, Jingxiong had accidentally discovered this pink creature.
00:09It turned out she was an alien from the happy planet, having arrived on this blue planet to spread joy,
00:13only to narrowly escape capture by humans in a truly miserable ordeal.
00:17It was Jingxiong's bread that saved her, and Jingxiong named her Octopus Pea.
00:21To Octopus Pea, Jingxiong was gentle and understanding, simply looking at her felt healing.
00:26To show her gratitude, Octopus Pea brought out an item.
00:28Assuming Jingxiong had flown before, since the planet was full of flying creatures and it seemed normal for humans to
00:34fly too.
00:34The next day, Jingxiong held Octopus Pea while hiding inside a shop.
00:38Octopus Pea didn't quite understand the situation but noticed the passers by looked happy, wondering if they were planning an
00:43outing.
00:44Jingxiong explained that wasn't the case.
00:46To thank Jingxiong again, Octopus Pea produced the happy Polaroid.
00:49Snapping a photo generated happiness points.
00:52Even more impressive was a special feature it possessed.
00:54But Jingxiong, thinking it inferior to a smartphone, started to leave before hearing the full explanation.
00:59She needed to buy batteries.
01:00Octopus Pea didn't understand why more were needed, failing to notice that Jingxiong's school bag was covered in bullying-related
01:06graffiti,
01:07and that the batteries bought the day before had vanished.
01:09Seeing how busy and stressed Jingxiong was, Octopus Pea resolved to cheer her up the next day, bringing out different
01:14happiness gadgets daily.
01:15One day, Jingxiong was in a rush to get home to prepare food for Chappie, her pet dog.
01:19It was only when she was with Chappie that Octopus Pea saw Jingxiong smile for the first time.
01:24Jingxiong invited her inside, noting that her mother was at work.
01:28When Octopus Pea asked about her father, Jingxiong said she didn't have one.
01:31The naive Octopus Pea thought humans were amazing, able to produce children with just a mother.
01:36In reality, Chappie was a gift left by her father.
01:38She loved Chappie more than anything.
01:40As long as she had Chappie, nothing else mattered.
01:42No matter what happened, or how much pain or suffering she endured, Jingxiong wondered where the happy planet was.
01:47It was actually very far away, though easily reached by spaceship.
01:51Kyoka said she had nowhere to go, neither to the happy planet, nor to her father's side.
01:55Before Octopus Pea left, her mother had warned that the mobile phone must never be damaged while spreading happiness.
02:00Yet, in her dejection, Octopus Pea had failed not only to protect the phone, but even to let Kyoka use
02:04the magical items.
02:05Still, she wanted Kyoka to smile more.
02:07So she promised to take her to the happy planet to see her beam with the happiest smile.
02:11Unexpectedly, the scene shifted, and Kyoka reappeared battered and bruised.
02:15Confused, Octopus Pea, holding Chappie's collar, learned that Kyoka had quarreled with a friend.
02:19She realized then that humans' faces change color when they fight.
02:22Kyoka asked for the ribbon so she could tie it herself.
02:24But the rule stated the happiness items had to be used in the presence of a happy planet native.
02:29Nevertheless, honoring Kyoka's request, Octopus Pea broke the rule, hoping it would help her reconcile with her friend.
02:34Yet, evening came and went without Kyoka appearing.
02:37Worried, Octopus Pea went to look for her.
02:39She passed the empty doghouse and entered Kyoka's home, only to see Kyoka suspended in mid-air.
02:43Her body swaying, Octopus Pea didn't understand what was happening.
02:46Even tying the ribbon to the beam wouldn't work, until Kyoka suddenly fell to the floor, lifeless.
02:51Octopus Pea blamed herself, believing she had caused Kyoka's death by breaking the rules.
02:55She apologized profusely.
02:56But death is an immutable law of nature that no method can overturn, and no happiness item can bring the
03:01dead back to life.
03:02However, the happy Polaroid camera possessed a special function.
03:05It could read a captured photo and transport the user back to the exact moment it was taken.
03:09Octopus Pea couldn't comprehend why a human would take their own life.
03:12So she wanted to understand Kyoka better.
03:14Asterisk Kyoka.
03:15I hope you can smile tomorrow.
03:17Asterisk to understand her better.
03:18Octopus Pea followed her to school.
03:20Previously, when she used a happiness item on herself, others saw her as a happy flower.
03:24Now, she witnessed a girl who had passed them in the park earlier calling Kyoka a parasite, and sneering that
03:28she smelled bad.
03:29All because to others, it looked like a fish mint plant was stuck in Kyoka's hair.
03:32During class, the teacher called on Kyoka to answer a question.
03:36Marina's remark implied that Kyoka had forgotten her homework.
03:39Kyoka wanted to explain, but ultimately didn't dare speak up.
03:41Octopus Pea assumed Kyoka had died of grief over forgetting her homework.
03:45So she traveled back in time to give Kyoka the answers beforehand.
03:48The next day, seeing Kyoka give the correct answer left Marina dumbfounded.
03:52At lunch, when Kyoka left a large amount of food uneaten, Marina and her gang of lackeys gathered around to
03:57mock her.
03:58Worried that Kyoka might have died because she was heartbroken over not finishing her school lunch, Octopus Pea hurriedly devoured
04:03all the leftovers.
04:04Afterward, Octopus Pea had a sudden realization.
04:07Kyoka and Marina were simply having a spat.
04:09She reasoned that when happy newcomers quarrel, they hide the other person's happiness paper to get their attention and reconcile.
04:15Therefore, Marina hiding Kyoka's notebook was the same kind of gesture.
04:18She kept staring at Kyoka because she wanted to make up.
04:20Seeing that Kyoka didn't deny this, Octopus Pea was delighted to find her theory confirmed.
04:24Later, a lackey relayed a message from Marina asking Kyoka to come to the gym for a talk.
04:29Octopus Pea happily asked why she hadn't gone yet, failing to notice that Kyoka was trembling with fear.
04:34Seeing Kyoka so terrified, Octopus Pea assumed they had had a massive fight, perhaps over something like eating the other
04:39person's happiness pudding without permission.
04:41So Octopus Pea, armed with an item, she eagerly set off to reconcile with Zenlina.
04:46However, before she could even speak, Zenlina delivered a resounding slap that left Octopus Pea completely dazed.
04:51Zenlina was clearly displeased.
04:53Kyoka had been acting too brazenly lately, and the situation was terrifying.
04:57Octopus Pea had never encountered anything like this before and was scared out of her wits.
05:00Although she desperately wanted to flee, the thought of Kyoka dying made her suppress her fear.
05:04She hoped to reason with Zenlina and stop her from saying such things.
05:08But that was impossible.
05:09Later, the story flashes back to the day of the photoshoot.
05:12She had been puzzled as to why Zenlina acted that way, only to realize later that her own attempt to
05:16help might have actually caused harm.
05:18When she saw Kyoka leave the restroom to confront Zenlina, Octopus Pea wanted to intervene.
05:22But the trauma of her previous encounter left her too terrified to move a muscle.
05:25Suddenly, she had a brainwave.
05:27She transformed into Kyoka's likeness and sought help from a teacher.
05:30Thanks to this, Kyoka escaped with only minor injuries.
05:33A male classmate, Xiaodong, suggested making her ordeal a topic for the next class meeting.
05:37But Kyoka politely declined, seeing no point since nothing would change anyway.
05:41Afterward, Octopus Pea wanted to apologize.
05:43But Kyoka knew it was Octopus Pea who had saved her.
05:45Although the teacher found it miraculous, wondering how she could seek help while simultaneously being beaten.
05:50It was thanks to Octopus Pea that she only suffered facial injuries.
05:53Octopus Pea had been a huge help lately.
05:55Ever since Zenlina's father began a passionate affair with her own mother, she had been bullied relentlessly by Zenlina at
06:01school.
06:01She hated going to school.
06:02It was a place filled with misery.
06:04But meeting Octopus Pea recently had made life feel bearable again for the first time in ages.
06:08Little did they know, Zenlina was lurking nearby, seething with rage.
06:12Her recent bullying attempts had all failed.
06:14Meanwhile, upon returning home, she found the dining table in shambles.
06:18Octopus Pea never imagined that by accidentally killing Zenlina, she would inadvertently cause Kyoka to wear a twisted smile.
06:24The story finally reached its first major climax.
06:27Octopus Pea naively believed this was the first step toward the two of them reconciling.
06:31That evening, Octopus Pea accompanied Mirror Image on a walk with a dog.
06:35Mirror Image wore a rare joyful expression, as it had been a long time since she had walked with anyone
06:40else.
06:40She used to walk with her father, but he had abandoned her when she was very young.
06:44She remembered a night just like this one, filled with stars, when she had desperately wished upon them that her
06:49parents wouldn't divorce.
06:50That wish never came true, leading her to conclude that neither magic nor gods existed in this world.
06:55It was the first time Octopus Pea had heard Mirror Image speak of these things.
06:58He was happy to feel their bond deepening, but the realization quickly struck him.
07:02Today was their sixth day together, and tomorrow she would die, appearing with Chappie's collar in hand.
07:06Only then did Octopus Pea realize why Chappie hadn't been around earlier.
07:10Just then, Marina appeared, immediately launching into a tirade.
07:13She berated Mirror Image for being out so late, claiming she had inherited her mother's promiscuity,
07:18and insulted Chappie as a filthy mutt and a parasite, declaring that a slut like her had no right to
07:23own a dog.
07:23Mirror Image knew nothing good would come of Marina's appearance.
07:26Just as she tried to leave with Chappie, Marina attacked her.
07:29Octopus Pea was frozen in fear, unable to move, but the loyal Chappie rushed forward to protect his owner.
07:34Marina wore a twisted smile.
07:36It was too late for Mirror Image to stop it, and Chappie had already bitten Marina's hand.
07:40Marina then feigned the role of a victim, screaming loudly.
07:43And ultimately, Mirror Image could only watch helplessly as Chappie was dragged away.
07:47Seeing Mirror Image in tears, a sight he couldn't bear, Octopus Pea used his camera to reset the timeline.
07:52Yet Chappie's fate of being captured remained unchanged.
07:54Marina played the innocent victim, claiming the dog had suddenly lunged at her without provocation.
07:59Octopus Pea finally realized that since Marina was actively seeking Mirror Image out, avoiding her was nearly impossible.
08:05Though he couldn't fathom why she would intentionally get bitten.
08:08Mingling remarked painfully that he should ask Mirror Image, who was also human, about it.
08:12Perhaps then he would understand Marina.
08:14But with her last shred of motivation to live gone, nothing but despair remained on Mirror Image's face.
08:19At the thought that her Mirror Image self might end it all tomorrow, Octopus Pea promised her.
08:23I will definitely save you.
08:25I want you to keep living and smiling with Chappie.
08:27Even if it doesn't work this time, if we keep trying over and over, we'll surely find a way.
08:31Yet, the outcome of the endless loops remained unchanged.
08:34Her mother said Chappie would be sent to her father, implying she might see him again in the future.
08:39But her mother showed no real concern.
08:41The Mirror Image felt like a walking corpse, indifferent to right or wrong.
08:44She accepted the blame for failing to control the dog and faced her mother's disgust,
08:48specifically regarding the sprig of clover stuck in her hair, before she left.
08:51Although Chappie was inevitably taken away no matter how many times they reset a loop, Octopus Pea refused to give
08:57up.
08:57Since the Mirror Image was still alive, she had to find a way to bring Chappie back from her father
09:01as soon as possible.
09:03Octopus Pea wanted to know where the father was so she could check the situation herself.
09:06She even offered her school lunch bread to the Mirror Image.
09:09But the girl had lost all will to live and simply covered herself up to escape reality.
09:12Octopus Pea naively thought going to school might make the Mirror Image smile.
09:16But instead, she was met with gossip and whispers.
09:18Zhen Lina refused to let up, immediately bringing her cronies over to verbally bully her.
09:23Xiao Dong couldn't stand by and watch.
09:25She reminded them it was time to head to the music room for the next class, forcing the cli to
09:29stop their harassment.
09:30Xiao Dong worried that the Mirror Image was unwell.
09:32But the girl, her heart utterly dead, offered no response.
09:35On the way home from school, Zhen Lina blocked her path again, insisting she come along to talk.
09:40Only when she learned it was about Chappie did the Mirror Image finally react.
09:44Octopus Pea was delighted to see this, hoping the conversation might lead to a reconciliation.
09:48So she resolved not to run away.
09:49Even though she was scared, she decided to go and help them.
09:52Zhen Lina.
09:53Zhen Lina loosened the bandage on the arm she had been pretending was injured.
09:56The mere thought of her father abandoning his wife, only for her mother to turn around and take her frustrations
10:01out on her, filled her with uncontrollable rage.
10:03Just as Jing Xiong opened her mouth to ask about Chappie, a school bag came flying and struck her in
10:08the face.
10:08Zhen Lina kicked the fallen Jing Xiong.
10:10Declaring that her dog was already dead, Jing Xiong clutched a tube of medicinal ointment in her hand.
10:15Of course it was dead.
10:16The poor thing was a goner.
10:17Zhen Lina unleashed a torrent of verbal abuse.
10:20You have no dad, no gentle mom, no friends, and no one who cares about you.
10:24Even your only kindred spirit, that filthy mutt, is dead.
10:27So why don't you just die too?
10:28Nearby, Octopus Pea was paralyzed by fear.
10:31Watching Jing Xiong get one-sidedly beaten, she was too terrified to step in.
10:35Zhen Lina spat out her grievances.
10:37Your living expenses come from my dad's wife.
10:39Your food, clothing, housing and transport are all things your mom squeezed out of other men.
10:44If it weren't for you too, dad would still be buying mom rings.
10:47Octopus Pea was frantic, thinking that a do-over could fix everything.
10:51But seeing Zhen Lina's frenzied behavior and recalling how Jing Xiong had called Chabi her everything,
10:55Octopus Pea realized that even with a fresh start, Jing Xiong would likely just repeat the same mistakes.
11:00Asterisk give my dad back.
11:02I have to be brave, or I'll die.
11:03This time I'll definitely help you.
11:05Asterisk things had happened so fast that, before she knew it, Zhen Lina had collapsed and fallen asleep.
11:10Seeing her motionless, Octopus Pea worried the pain was too intense.
11:13Having been beaten herself, she knew pain was no good, so she wanted to reset and talk things through properly.
11:18Only to discover the happy camera had been smashed during the scuffle.
11:21Jing Xiong finally spoke, confirming,
11:23It's dead.
11:23Looks like it's really dead, doesn't it?
11:25Hearing this, Octopus Pea broke into a cold sweat, unsure of what to do.
11:29Unexpectedly, Jing Xiong smiled and exclaimed,
11:31Octopus Pea, you're amazing.
11:33Opening up, Jing Xiong revealed her true feelings.
11:36I've always thought, if only Zhen Lina didn't exist, I wouldn't hate going to school.
11:39But I couldn't make that happen on my own.
11:41I thought that wish would never come true, but now it has.
11:44Just like magic.
11:45And if magic is real, then Chubby must still be alive too.
11:48If I just go find dad, I can see Chubby again.
11:51Octopus Pea, however, wore a conflicted expression.
11:54She wasn't sure if this was truly the right thing to do.
11:56She knew that in human language, taking another person's life is called murder.
12:00Yet, Jing Xiong wept tears of joy and expressed her gratitude.
12:04Octopus Pea's original sin, episode 3, explodes onto the scene.
12:08Octopus Pea never imagined that.
12:09Despite accidentally killing the bully Zhen Lina, the incident would unexpectedly bring a smile to Jing Xiong's face.
12:15However, just as Jing Xiong was about to leave the scene, Xiao Dong, who had been worried about her, spotted
12:20her.
12:20Jing Xiong explained that Zhen Lina had died due to magic and introduced Octopus Pea as a happy star person
12:25from the happy planet.
12:26Xiao Dong found the situation bizarre.
12:28Someone had died, yet Jing Xiong planned to go home as if nothing had happened.
12:32Regardless of whether magic was involved, killing was still killing.
12:35She ought to be sent to a juvenile detention center.
12:37As the alien did it, excuse wouldn't hold water.
12:40Yet, Jing Xiong wasn't worried about getting caught.
12:42She was worried that she wouldn't be able to see Chabi anymore.
12:45Xiao Dong suggested turning herself in early to get a lighter sentence.
12:48But Jing Xiong wanted to find another solution.
12:51Seeing that Xiao Dong seemed knowledgeable about such things, and noting that concealing the crime was a common tactic, Jing
12:56Xiong decided to go that route.
12:58Xiao Dong was shocked.
12:59Concealing a crime was illegal, too, and it was something children simply couldn't pull off.
13:03Jing Xiong remained unfazed, relying on Octopus Pea's magic, and asked for Xiao Dong's help.
13:08Just as Xiao Dong was about to say, I can't do it, she was struck by the familiar paralyzing fear
13:13of her mother's control.
13:14Jing Xiong continued, I have no friends, and I can't rely on my mom.
13:17You're the only one I can count on.
13:19Xiao Dong then had Octopus Pea bring out the magical items.
13:22Among them was a coffin-like object called the memory box, which preserved whatever was placed inside, and allowed for
13:28size adjustments, perfect for holding Xiong Lina's body.
13:30The murder weapon, the happy camera, would be hidden inside Octopus Pea, who would then shapeshift to look exactly like
13:36Xiong Lina.
13:36Xiao Dong worried if this would really work, but Octopus Pea was brimming with confidence, boasting of her flawless shapeshifting
13:42abilities.
13:42Xiao Dong decided to go back and get a shovel, warning them not to arouse their family's suspicions.
13:47Just then, Octopus Pea called out to them,
13:49Is this really okay? Me living on as Xiong Lina from now on, and hiding Xiong Lina away like this.
13:55Shizuka interrupted Octopus Pea, pointing out that she couldn't keep speaking that way, or she would blow her cover.
14:00For Octopus Pea, the goal was simply to make Shizuka smile.
14:02She resolved to live her life as Maranai from then on, full of energy, just like the real Maranai.
14:07However, upon returning home, she witnessed her scumbag father bullying her mother.
14:12He screamed at her, calling her a parasite who squandered others' hard-earned money,
14:16simply because she had crafted some character decorations for the curtains.
14:18When the mother worried about the risk of eye injuries or facial scarring,
14:22the scumbag dismissed it callously, claiming Maranai had said it was fine,
14:25and accusing the mother of making a fuss and being paranoid.
14:28He ranted about how he couldn't stand women who had never held a job,
14:31completely disregarding his wife's sacrifices for the family.
14:34Yet to Octopus Pea, who didn't yet understand human nature,
14:37this quarrel actually seemed like a sign of a close relationship.
14:40Afterward, Shizuka wanted to go find her dog, Chappie, right away.
14:43But Fuyu stopped her.
14:44Chappie was currently with her father in Tokyo, and it would be difficult for children to get there on their
14:48own.
14:49Fuyu insisted that Octopus Pea should first settle into the family.
14:52Octopus Pea curiously asked Fuyu about divorce mediation, a term she'd heard Maranai's mother use.
14:58But Fuyu ignored the question.
14:59In any case, the other matter was already buried and safe.
15:02Though they shouldn't leave town for the time being.
15:04Fuyu required everyone to meet after school each day,
15:07with the actual execution of the plan set for summer vacation.
15:09Just then, Fuyu's older brother, Junya, suddenly appeared.
15:13He had to leave for a part-time job soon, and asked Fuyu to help sue their mother.
15:17Once Junya had walked away, Fuyu looked grim and revealed that he didn't actually need to work.
15:21His mother would give him whatever money he wanted.
15:23Yet he always, he was making his mother worry,
15:25going out of his way to use money from his part-time job to buy that incredibly stupid ring.
15:29He should have just focused on his studies.
15:31After all, more was expected of him than anyone else.
15:34A darker version of Shizuka suggested that simply taking the ring away would do the trick.
15:37Her brother would be so devastated he'd quit the job and leave immediately.
15:41So, that night, Zhang Yupai accompanied Xiaodong to the house to tidy up.
15:45Shizuka had reasoned that Zhang Yupai's magic shield would serve as a safeguard against any mishaps.
15:49While Runyi was downstairs taking a shower,
15:52Xiaodong seized the chance to sneak into his room and found the ring sitting on the desk.
15:56Yet, just as she reached for it, she froze.
15:58She remembered how Runyi had previously shared his joy with her,
16:01insisting that a couple's ring should be bought with one's own hard-earned money.
16:04Xiaodong had felt resentful then,
16:06thinking he was just pretending to be ordinary when he could actually have anything he wanted in that household.
16:11However, seeing that Xiaodong liked the item,
16:13Runyi had promised to buy her a new one after his next payday.
16:16Unexpectedly, Runyi's phone rang right then.
16:18Fortunately, at that critical moment,
16:20Xiaodong used her happy wings to roll out the window.
16:22Seeing Runyi about to close it,
16:24she hurriedly fled,
16:25only to have her wings run out of energy due to the excess weight.
16:28Faced with Zhang Yupai's concerned inquiries,
16:30a disheveled Xiaodong burst into tears of frustration.
16:33She felt she couldn't do it, yet the fear of her mother's control came flooding back.
16:37Her mother constantly compared her to Runyi,
16:39who always scored perfect marks.
16:40If she didn't get a perfect score,
16:42she wasn't allowed to have dessert.
16:43Xiaodong would study desperately every day,
16:45yet she could never quite achieve that perfect score.
16:48Her mother would confiscate her dessert again and again,
16:50telling her that everything done for her was a waste of effort,
16:53that she would simply never measure up to Runyi.
16:55Seeing Jin Xiang amused by their disheveled state,
16:57Xiaodong's composure shattered,
16:59and she burst into loud sobs right there.
17:01Afterward, their classmates were dumbfounded.
17:03The Zhenli they knew had undergone a drastic personality change.
17:07During this time, the trio shared some rare, happy moments.
17:10Unaware that their misdeeds were already coming to light,
17:12Zhang Yupai was content with the situation.
17:15As long as the three of them were together,
17:16they were happy,
17:17and Jin Xiang would smile.
17:18It would be wonderful if life could just go on like this.
17:21But then, Zhang Yupai suddenly thought of a problem.
17:23Why couldn't she return to the happy planet?
17:25No matter how hard she thought about it,
17:27she couldn't make sense of the situation.
17:29Just then, Zhenli's parents erupted into another fierce argument.
17:33Her father spent his days fooling around yet,
17:35expected her mother to handle the arrangements for his parents' birthday celebration.
17:38When her mother mentioned she had prior commitments that day,
17:40the scumbag father berated her for being cold-hearted.
17:43He even tried to drag Zhenli into the criticism,
17:45casually asking if she wanted to live with him instead,
17:48even though custody arrangements had already been settled,
17:50and he didn't actually care about her.
17:52However, Octopus P didn't understand the nuances.
17:54Thinking only of the base where Chabi lived,
17:56she happily agreed to go with her father, unwittingly breaking her mother's heart.
18:00Taking advantage of the scumbag's absence that day,
18:02her mother slapped Octopus P across the face.
18:05She detested the way her daughter was speaking now, and slapped her repeatedly.
18:08She was angry that her daughter had changed.
18:10She used to stand by her mother's side,
18:12obedient, sensible, and a good listener when her mother needed to vent.
18:15Stunned by the blows, Octopus P hurriedly promised to go back to her old self.
18:19Unaware that her mother had already sensed something amiss,
18:22she could feel that the person before her wasn't really Zhenli.
18:24It was then that Octopus P noticed a cabinet filled with happy family photos from the past.
18:29She realized that although Zhenli had done terrible things to Shizuka,
18:32she hadn't always been that way.
18:34Octopus P began to reflect on her actions and how to make amends.
18:37She needed to talk to Shizuka again.
18:39Unexpectedly however, Zhenli's body was soon discovered by a group of construction workers.
18:43The boy never imagined that the girl he had desperately wanted to help would end up being the one who's
18:47dead,
18:48and the need for someone to take the blame, would shatter his world.
18:50That day, Octopus P kept looking for a chance to talk to everyone.
18:53But Xiaodong loudly urged her to revert to her original form because the news had just reported the discovery of
18:58Zhenli's body.
18:59Xiaodong felt as though his world had collapsed.
19:01He returned home in a daze, only to find his older brother Jun, heading out for a part-time job.
19:06Jun asked Xiaodong to help comfort their mother,
19:08but Xiaodong quickly agreed and then dashed into the house to escape the situation.
19:12As expected, the police soon arrived at their class, seeking any relevant leads.
19:16Afterwards, Xiaodong made sure to comfort Shizuka, since Minyana had been placed in the memory box.
19:21The true date of her death remained undisclosed.
19:23The fingerprints had been white clean, so silence seemed like the safest bet to avoid detection.
19:28However, Octopus P was troubled.
19:29Was this really the right thing to do?
19:31He had been thinking deeply about Minyana and the future, and wanted to discuss it with the group.
19:35Xiaodong was on the verge of a breakdown, feeling that their cover was already blown, and that discussing it now
19:40was pointless.
19:40Yet, Octopus P insisted that Minyana's parents must be devastated.
19:44He felt they had to take action.
19:45For the sake of Minyana and her family, he believed revealing the truth was better than hiding it.
19:50Xiaodong agreed.
19:51Perhaps it wasn't too late to come clean.
19:53Unexpectedly, Shizuka still wanted to proceed with their strategy meeting,
19:56refusing to slack off just because summer vacation was approaching.
19:59He just wanted to go to Tokyo to see Chaito after the break.
20:02Xiaodong had promised it was possible, but at the mention of this, Shizuka would instantly get lost in a daydream.
20:07He believed that if he said he could do something, he definitely would.
20:10Later, Xiaodong reflected on his mistakes.
20:12He was the one who had proposed hiding the body, yet it had been discovered anyway.
20:16He knew he could have done better, so he vowed to get it right this time.
20:19He would successfully pull off the deception and help Shizuka get to Tokyo.
20:22Suddenly, Junya appeared in the room.
20:24Unable to face Junya, Xiaodong used the excuse of needing to use the restroom to escape.
20:29Meanwhile, the school bullies tipped off the police, noting that Junya's group had been acting strangely, suddenly fawning over Shizuka.
20:35Consequently, the police soon came to question Shizuka.
20:38Following Xiaodong's advice, Shizuka simply didn't answer questions he didn't understand.
20:43Xiaodong had hoped this would lead the police to suspect an adult perpetrator, but they stated they would question Shizuka
20:48again.
20:48Shizuka worried this might jeopardize his trip to Tokyo, but Xiaodong assured him it would be fine.
20:53They just needed to solidify their alibis.
20:55Unfortunately, this distraction ended up affecting their exam performance.
20:59Xiaodong was under immense pressure after failing a test, expecting her mother to boss her around again.
21:03She was surprised when her mother served cake instead, saying, hurry and eat.
21:07I know you've been working hard and staying out late every day.
21:10Xiaodong was delighted, thinking her mother finally understood her.
21:14However, just as she was about to open up, her mother told her she didn't need to try anymore.
21:18She said that even if one isn't good at studying, one shouldn't deliberately fail just to get attention.
21:22Calling such behavior childish.
21:24So, you don't need to try, and I've decided to stop trying too.
21:27From now on, you'll have snacks every day, and you can get whatever grades you want.
21:31Meanwhile, Shizuka mentioned receiving another call requiring Xiaodong to visit the police station during summer vacation.
21:37This was troublesome because she also planned to visit Chali and risk getting caught.
21:41Xiaodong promised to handle everything.
21:43Unexpectedly, Shizuka produced a camera, the weapon used in the incident, and urged Xiaodong to turn herself in.
21:49Xiaodong was devastated.
21:50She recalled how her older brother had always excelled academically, maintaining top grades even while playing video games all day.
21:56Although her mother had hoped Xiaodong might surpass him, perhaps even in elementary school, it never happened.
22:01While classmates admired Xiaodong for scoring a 95, her mother was dissatisfied, wondering why she couldn't get a perfect score
22:08like her brother.
22:08Even though Xiaodong ranked first in the school and second in the town, her brother had been first in the
22:13entire city.
22:14Her mother couldn't understand why there was such a huge gap between her own children.
22:17Later, noticing Xiaodong's grades slipping, her mother bought her glasses.
22:21Xiaodong was happy and promised to do better next time, but she disappointed her mother again.
22:25Then, she thought a turning point had arrived.
22:28Her brother, Rui, dyed his hair and announced he was going out to work part-time.
22:31Xiaodong saw an opportunity, believing Rui would learn from the experience, and that her mother would pin her dreams on
22:37him instead.
22:37But she was overthinking it.
22:39Rui's grades never suffered, and his life became more colorful, leaving their mother feeling both worried and gratified.
22:44In contrast, Xiaodong's only asset was her earnest attitude.
22:48Deep down, she knew the truth.
22:49Only Rui had inherited their mother's shrewdness, competence, and quick mind.
22:53Her once silky hair ruined by dying, her flyaway strands, and her double eyelids that looked as if they were
22:58drawn to perfection.
22:59That was how things stood until Xiaodong met Shizuka, a girl who bore a striking resemblance to her mother.
23:04Feeling compelled to be perfect in everything, Xiaodong found herself unable to turn a blind eye to Shizuka's plight.
23:09She had struggled to accept that even a girl who looked so much like her mother held no expectations for
23:13her.
23:13So, when Shizuka said she had no one else to rely on but her, Xiaodong felt as though she had
23:18suddenly found a reason for her existence.
23:20She realized that someone actually counted on her, that Shizuka depended entirely on her, so she absolutely could not let
23:26her down.
23:26Perhaps she thought she could follow in her mother's footsteps and work in a field where she held others.
23:31Shizuka promised that even if Xiaodong were sent to a juvenile detention center, she would wait for her return.
23:36It was in that moment that Xiaodong recalled the day her mother had hugged her for the last time.
23:40Just as she was preparing to turn herself in, her older brother stopped her once more.
23:45As she snapped back to reality, she realized he was standing right in front of her.
23:48You were hiding something on your mind, weren't you?
23:51That's why I told you to talk to me properly.
23:53You can tell me anything.
23:54Xiaodong finally opened up to her brother for the first time.
23:57A genius like you wouldn't understand.
23:59You're capable and have a great personality.
24:01Nothing is too hard for you.
24:03That's all anyone cares about.
24:04But I have no one by my side.
24:06Even though I work hard, even without trying to make friends, I still can't accomplish anything.
24:11I can't meet a single expectation others have of me.
24:13Even mom was disappointed and gave up on me.
24:15No one is interested in me or expects anything from me.
24:18Shizuka is all I have left.
24:20It was a reminder that no one can be perfect at everything.
24:23Even he was terrible at the night video game and always had to ask his girlfriend to be the levels
24:27for him.
24:27Their mother's pancakes used to be awful too.
24:29She'd make them before her shifts.
24:31And after sitting in the fridge, they'd turn rock hard.
24:33Yet, their mother was a hard worker.
24:35Much like Xiaodong herself.
24:36Breaking down in tears, Xiaodong confessed that the glasses she wore were the ones her mother had bought for her.
24:41Though she wept, she couldn't bring herself to say the words aloud.
24:44That was what I had to do while last her.
24:46Word spread through the town afterward that Zenlina's death was linked to her.
24:49Yet, everyone knew Xiaodong was an obedient girl.
24:51So they assumed she must have been coerced.
24:53Shizuka figured Xiaodong wouldn't help her anymore.
24:56Octopus P didn't know what to do next.
24:57Perhaps it was time to reveal the truth.
24:59Shizuka, however, had no such intention.
25:02After all, summer vacation was starting that day.
25:04Episode 5 of Octopus P's original sin delivers a shocking twist.
25:08Octopus P realizes, to its utter surprise, that this isn't the first time it has visited Earth.
25:12And its original mission was to help Zenlina kill Shizuka.
25:15With summer vacation here, Shizuka could finally carry out her plan to go to Tokyo and see her father.
25:19She was overjoyed at the thought of seeing Chappie again.
25:22However, her father was flustered and at a loss when she arrived.
25:25She explained she had come to see Chappie.
25:27Just then, a dog barked inside the house.
25:29Shizuka mistook it for Chappie's bark, only to find a different dog appear.
25:32To make matters worse, her father's current daughter wondered who Shizuka was and why she was calling her dad Papa.
25:38Her father, however, was a truly bizarre character.
25:40Seeing his daughter standing there in such a disheveled state, he pretended not to know her at all.
25:45Shizuka was devastated, consumed by a dark, vengeful rage.
25:48She suspected those two girls had eaten Chappie.
25:50After all, didn't Octopus P eat things that fell down?
25:52She resolved to find a way to get Chappie back, thinking that perhaps eating the dog would reveal the truth.
25:57She asked Octopus P if it had a gadget to capture a human and probe their insides.
26:00But Octopus P apologized, saying it had no such thing.
26:03Octopus P tried to calm her down, suggesting they just go home.
26:06I'm sorry, it said.
26:07I'm so stupid and useless.
26:09I let you push yourself until you were covered in wounds.
26:11I'm sorry.
26:12Please, let's go home.
26:13I can bring out gadgets for having fun.
26:15We could float in the air with happy wings or turn into caterpillars with a transformation gadget.
26:19I just want you to go back to being the old Shizuka and see you smile happily again.
26:23Octopus P felt a sense of deja vu regarding the way Shizuka was looking at her.
26:27Lost memories came flooding back like a tide, and she finally recalled that she had actually come to kill Shizuka.
26:32Octopus P had originally arrived on Earth in the year 202,
26:35and the first human she encountered was Marina.
26:38Marina had given Octopus P a rice ball, so Octopus P hoped Marina would give her an Earth name.
26:42Instead, Marina called her trash and useless.
26:45Marina bore a scar on her face from childhood abuse by her mother,
26:48and because classmates heard rumors that she was prone to violence, no one dared to approach her.
26:52Yet, unlike the tough persona she showed Octopus P, Marina was always cautious at home.
26:57Her father had left, leaving her mother emotionally volatile,
26:59sometimes flying into a rage and striking Marina with a glass bottle simply because a drink hadn't been refilled in
27:05time.
27:05In the dead of night, a lonely Marina would cower in bed, terrified.
27:09She feared glass because her mother had once slashed her cheek with a glass tumbler after she had angered her.
27:14Despite this, Marina dreamed of becoming a happy mother, having a happy child, and raising that child in happiness,
27:19only for Octopus P to be beaten to death by that very mother.
27:22Octopus P had assumed Marina was merely imitating her mother whenever she handled her roughly.
27:27Surely, that was just how humans raise their children, right?
27:30Believing Marina would make a wonderful mother, Octopus P had resolved to help her achieve that dream,
27:35starting with finding a good father.
27:36So, Octopus P dragged Marina along to find a dad, only for them to unexpectedly run into Xiaodong,
27:41who Marina hadn't seen in years.
27:43Afterward, Marina sheepishly told her mother about the encounter and promised to bring Xiaodong over to meet her in a
27:49few days.
27:49Her mother was delighted. She had heard that Marina's father was struggling at work and might return soon,
27:54allowing the family to happily reunite.
27:56However, Marina knew this was impossible.
27:58Her father had messaged her, asking her to persuade her mother to agree to a divorce.
28:02She had reached her limit and wanted to start a new life.
28:04Her mother, knowing Xiaodong's family ran a clinic, had high hopes for Xiaodong's future,
28:08unaware that it was actually Xiaodong's older brother who would inherit the practice.
28:12Marina felt helpless and didn't want to shatter her mother's fantasy.
28:15It had been a long time since they had spoken like that,
28:17and for the moment, Marina felt better than ever.
28:19She remembered Xiaodong like pancakes and planned to make them for her next time.
28:23Xiaodong was the only one who didn't mind her scars.
28:26Marina didn't even care when a snide girl passing by mocked her for talking to herself.
28:30She spoke of how her father leaving home when she was young had caused her mother's personality to change drastically,
28:35leaving her lonely and without friends.
28:36Marina was grateful to Octopus P.
28:38Without him, she wouldn't have reconnected with Xiaodong or felt for the first time in ages
28:42that life was actually going well.
28:44Yet, whenever she was with Xiaodong, Marina wanted to hold hands but lacked the courage.
28:48Passersby mentioned a beautiful transfer student who had attempted suicide years ago.
28:52Xiaodong's eyes lit up with a starry sparkle as she confessed that she had long liked Shizuka,
28:57the only person Shizuka could rely on.
28:59Now that Shizuka had returned to her hometown all alone,
29:02Xiaodong saw their reunion as a miracle.
29:04Consequently, Xiaodong broke up with Marina and failed to show up for the planned visit to her house.
29:08Meanwhile, her mother, filled with anticipation,
29:11had prepared a feast, and even gone out to get her hair done.
29:14Seeing this octopus, he quietly slipped away to go fine.
29:16Little did anyone know, at that very moment, Xiaodong was witching Xiang.
29:20Zenlina lied, claiming Xiaodong couldn't make it due to a last-minute issue.
29:23Her mother expressed disappointment but suggested trying another time,
29:26asking when that might be.
29:27Left with no choice, Zenlina confessed the truth,
29:30hoping her mother would listen calmly.
29:31Xiaodong blamed herself for causing Zenlina's injury.
29:34She felt she was just like that, unable to do anything as well as Run could.
29:37Seeing Zenlina remain silent,
29:39her mother flew into a manic rage again.
29:42Terrified, Zenlina instinctively touched her scar.
29:44Her mother spoke with biting sarcasm.
29:46I really am an incompetent mother.
29:48It's all my fault for turning you into a defective product.
29:50But didn't I behave well today?
29:52I even cooked so much food.
29:53Zenlina tried to explain that wasn't the case.
29:56It was simply that Xiaodong had fallen for someone else.
29:58Meanwhile, Jingxiong comforted Xiaodong,
30:00telling her there was no need to compare herself to others,
30:03and that she was already doing a great job.
30:05Elsewhere, Octopus Key,
30:06unable to speak with Xiaodong after the incident,
30:08returned home alone only to find the living room in shambles.
30:11Zenlina had been forced to kill her rampaging mother in self-defense.
30:15She regretted not killing Jingxiong back when they were in fourth grade.
30:17Had she done so,
30:18her father and Xiaodong would surely still be with her.
30:21Noticing Octopus Key was still there,
30:23Zenlina regretted not giving her a name sooner.
30:25However, Octopus Key had heard her wish.
30:27Would it make you happy if I went back to the fourth grade and killed Jingxiong?
30:30I could easily do it using the Great Happiness Clock from my home planet.
30:33With that, Octopus Key boarded a rocket to return to the planet of happiness.
30:37Zenlina, however, couldn't comprehend any of this.
30:39She only knew that the one friend who had stayed by her side was leaving too.
30:43In despair, she ultimately turned a shard of sharp glass against herself.
30:47As Octopus Key returned to her home on the planet of happiness,
30:50she asked her mother for permission to use the Great Happiness Clock
30:52to go back to the fourth grade and kill Jingxiong.
30:55Although her mother agreed to let her use it,
30:56the condition was that she would lose all her memories.
30:59Furthermore,
30:59because Octopus Key had violated the planet of happiness's most vital protective rule,
31:03she would never be able to return there again.
31:05Octopus Key could not understand why her mother would do such a thing.
31:09So, imitating human behavior,
31:10she resorted to violence against her mother
31:12and forcibly turned the clock hands to enter a space-time tunnel.
31:16However, upon returning to Earth,
31:17she inevitably lost her memories.
31:19She could no longer recall whose smile she had originally wanted to see.
31:23Yet, as those lost memories flooded back,
31:25Octopus Key finally remembered her mission to kill Shizuka.
31:28It was because of Shizuka that Zenlina had lost her father,
31:31Shaodong,
31:32and most importantly,
31:33her mother.
31:33Therefore,
31:34Shizuka was a villain who had to die.
31:36But now,
31:36Octopus Key could no longer distinguish right from wrong.
31:39Hadn't Zenlina also done terrible things?
31:41Wasn't she herself bad for having killed Zenlina?
31:43Episode 6 of Octopus Key delivers a truly explosive finale.
31:47Determined to bring a smile to Shizuka's face,
31:49Octopus Key sacrifices herself to turn back time to that summer.
31:52Shizuka had grown up in a home filled with constant parental arguments,
31:56finding her only emotional solace in her pet,
31:58whenever she was troubled,
32:00she would wish upon the stars,
32:01hoping her father wouldn't leave,
32:03hoping for a tasty lunch,
32:04and hoping no one at school would bully her.
32:06Yet,
32:06she never truly knew what she wanted.
32:08After Shizuka knocked Octopus Key unconscious,
32:10the impact triggered the return of her lost memories.
32:12She realized she had returned to Earth solely to kill Shizuka and make Zenlina happy.
32:17Shaodong,
32:17bewildered by the sudden turn of events,
32:19didn't understand what she was talking about.
32:21Octopus Key wanted Shaodong to join her in finding Shizuka,
32:24but Shizuka had vanished after waking up.
32:26Shaodong refused to go.
32:27She could no longer see Shizuka or Octopus Key ever again.
32:31With Zenlina's body discovered,
32:32Shaodong's family was in dire straits.
32:34The clinic had temporarily closed and her mother was devastated.
32:37She didn't want to cause her family any more trouble.
32:39Octopus Key,
32:40heartbroken,
32:41begged her not to leave,
32:42asking,
32:42I'll be so sad if we can't meet again.
32:44Didn't you have fun playing with me?
32:45Is it because I'm a stupid,
32:47bad kid?
32:47I don't understand anything.
32:49Why do I still want to see Shizuka smile,
32:51even after regaining my memories?
32:52Even though Shizuka is a bad kid who causes me pain and makes Zenlina sad,
32:56the three of us still had so much fun playing together.
32:59The reason I looked forward to school so much was simply because we were friends.
33:02You might be an optimistic,
33:03foolish loser,
33:04but you have a kind heart.
33:05Meanwhile,
33:05I'm a useless,
33:07hopeless loser.
33:07Yet you tell me I was amazing.
33:09Since you're not very bright,
33:10I knew you meant it sincerely.
33:11So I came here to thank you.
33:13Shaodong returned the happy camera,
33:15which had been wiped clean.
33:16He realized his attempts to help Shizuka were just wishful thinking.
33:19In the end,
33:19he couldn't actually do anything.
33:21Perhaps his only mistake was wanting to help her in the first place.
33:24Suddenly,
33:25Octopus Key noticed something different about Shaodong's glasses.
33:27Do the frames change shape as humans grow up?
33:29Little did he know,
33:30his older brother had bought them with his last paycheck.
33:32A brother who had been fired because of his association with Shaodong.
33:35And might not even be able to attend university now.
33:38Shaodong asked out if Octopus Key ever turned back time again.
33:41He should let him know.
33:42He wanted to try having a real argument with his brother.
33:44Octopus Key waved a reluctant goodbye to Shaodong.
33:46Yet he wanted to stay right there,
33:48at the spot where he first met Shizuka,
33:49and wait for her return.
33:51Seasons changed.
33:51The missing Shizuka had actually kidnapped someone,
33:54and a fire nearly broke out.
33:55Though thankfully,
33:56it was discovered in time to prevent a disaster.
33:58Finally,
33:59Octopus Key encountered the darkened Shizuka.
34:01Seeing her intent on going to the clinic to find Kiyotze,
34:04and checking everyone's location there,
34:05Octopus Key bravely stepped forward to stop her.
34:08You absolutely mustn't hurt anyone.
34:09I don't want you to do this.
34:10It hurts me,
34:11and it hurts you too.
34:12I know it's been incredibly hard for you,
34:14being all alone for so long.
34:16But Shizuka just stomped her foot onto Octopus Key's face,
34:19and cried out.
34:19Then what am I supposed to do?
34:20Dad looks at me like I'm a stranger.
34:22What if Dad?
34:23What should I do now that Mom and Dad don't want me anymore?
34:25What should I do when others keep snatching away my notebook?
34:28People keep calling me an ugly loser.
34:30What exactly is so ugly about me?
34:32Octopus Key felt deeply guilty.
34:33I'm sorry, I didn't know.
34:35These things are too hard for me to handle.
34:37Even though Shizuka kept hurting her,
34:38she held tight to Shizuka's hand,
34:40refusing to let go.
34:41I'm sorry I couldn't do anything for you,
34:43even though I always wanted to.
34:44I'm sorry I didn't understand your feelings at all.
34:46I'm sorry I never really listened to you,
34:48or tried to understand you.
34:49I'm sorry I left you feeling so alone.
34:52At that moment,
34:52Shizuka finally burst into tears.
34:54Even if you say that,
34:55Dad won't come back,
34:56and Mom won't love me again.
34:57From then on,
34:58Octopus P was inseparable from Shizuka,
35:01yet Shizuka's tears never stopped falling.
35:03Octopus P became her sole source of support,
35:05much like Little Chappie had been.
35:07One day,
35:07they went to the seaside.
35:08Octopus P said how lucky she felt to be with Shizuka,
35:11and mentioned a cherished gadget she wanted to show her.
35:14She introduced it as if pulling out the happiness camera for the very first time.
35:17By taking a photo and then viewing it,
35:19one could turn back time to the exact moment the picture was snapped.
35:21Although the camera was broken,
35:22she had finally remembered something she could still do for Shizuka.
35:25If she sacrificed her own happiness power,
35:27she could reactivate the camera's ability.
35:29Shizuka sensed something was wrong and tried to stop her,
35:32only to find she could no longer touch Octopus P's body.
35:35Octopus P promised to bring a radiant smile back to Shizuka's face.
35:38I'm so lucky to be with you,
