00:00his mistakes he was the one who had proposed hiding the body yet it had been discovered anyway he knew
00:04he could have done better so he vowed to get it right this time he would successfully pull off
00:08the deception and help shizuka get to tokyo suddenly junia appeared in the room unable to
00:13face junia shaodong used the excuse of needing to use the restroom to escape meanwhile the school
00:18bullies tipped off the police noting that junia's group had been acting strangely suddenly fawning
00:22over shizuka consequently the police soon came to question shizuka following shaodong's advice
00:28shizuka simply didn't answer questions he didn't understand shaodong had hoped this would lead the
00:33police to suspect an adult perpetrator but they stated they would question shizuka again shizuka
00:37worried this might jeopardize his trip to tokyo but shaodong assured him it would be fine they just
00:41needed to solidify their alibis unfortunately this distraction ended up affecting their exam
00:46performance shaodong was under immense pressure after failing a test expecting her mother to boss
00:51her around again she was surprised when her mother served cake instead saying hurry and eat i know
00:55you've been working hard and staying out late every day shaodong was delighted thinking her mother
01:00finally understood her however just as she was about to open up her mother told her she didn't
01:05need to try anymore she said that even if one isn't good at studying one shouldn't deliberately fail
01:09just to get attention calling such behavior childish so you don't need to try and i've decided to stop
01:15trying too from now on you'll have snacks every day and you can get whatever grades you want
01:19meanwhile shizuka mentioned receiving another call requiring shaodong to visit the police station
01:24during summer vacation this was troublesome because she also planned to visit charlie and
01:28risk getting caught shaodong promised to handle everything unexpectedly shizuka produced a camera
01:33the weapon used in the incident and urged shaodong to turn herself in shaodong was devastated she
01:38recalled how her older brother had always excelled academically maintaining top grades even while
01:43playing video games all day although her mother had hoped shaodong might surpass him perhaps
01:47even in elementary school it never happened while classmates admired shaodong for scoring a 95
01:52her mother was dissatisfied wondering why she couldn't get a perfect score like her brother even
01:57though shaodong ranked first in the school and second in the town her brother had been first in
02:01the entire city her mother couldn't understand why there was such a huge gap between her own
02:05children later noticing shaodong's grades slipping her mother bought her glasses shaodong was happy
02:10and promised to do better next time but she disappointed her mother again then she thought
02:14a turning point had arrived her brother rui dyed his hair and announced he was going out to work
02:19part-time shaodong saw an opportunity believing rui would learn from the experience and that her
02:24mother would pin her dreams on him instead but she was overthinking it rui's grades never suffered
02:28and his life became more colorful leaving their mother feeling both worried and gratified in contrast
02:33shaodong's only asset was her earnest attitude deep down she knew the truth only rui had inherited
02:39their mother's shrewdness competence and quick mind her once silky hair ruined by dying her flyaway
02:44strands and her double eyelids that looked as if they were drawn to perfection that was how things
02:47stood until shaodong met shizuka a girl who bore a striking resemblance to her mother feeling compelled
02:52to be perfect in everything shaodong found herself unable to turn a blind eye to shizuka's plight she
02:57had struggled to accept that even a girl who looked so much like her mother held no expectations for her
03:01so when shizuka said she had no one else to rely on but her shaodong felt as though she had
03:06suddenly
03:06found a reason for her existence she realized that someone actually counted on her that shizuka depended
03:11entirely on her so she absolutely could not let her down perhaps she thought she could follow in her
03:16mother's footsteps and work in a field where she held others shizuka promised that even if shaodong
03:21were sent to a juvenile detention center she would wait for her return it was in that moment that
03:25shaodong recalled the day her mother had hugged her for the last time just as she was preparing to
03:30turn herself in her older brother stopped her once more as she snapped back to reality she realized he
03:35was standing right in front of her you were hiding something on your mind weren't you that's why i told
03:40you to talk to me properly you can tell me anything shaodong finally opened up to her brother for the
03:45first time a genius like you wouldn't understand you're capable and have a great personality nothing
03:50is too hard for you that's all anyone cares about but i have no one by my side even though
03:55i work hard
03:55even without trying to make friends i still can't accomplish anything i can't meet a single expectation
04:00others have of me even mom was disappointed and gave up on me no one is interested in me or
04:05expects
04:05anything from me shizuka is all i have left it was a reminder that no one can be perfect at
04:10everything
04:11even he was terrible at the night video game and always had to ask his girlfriend to be the levels
04:15for him their mother's pancakes used to be awful too she'd make them before her shifts and after
04:19sitting in the fridge they turn rock hard yet their mother was a hard worker much like shaodong
04:24herself breaking down in tears shaodong confessed that the glasses she wore were the ones her mother
04:29had bought for her though she wept she couldn't bring herself to say the words aloud that was what i
04:33had
04:33to do elaster word spread through the town afterward that zenlina's death was linked to her yet everyone knew
04:38shaodong was an obedient girl so they assumed she must have been coerced shizuka figured shaodong
04:43wouldn't help her anymore octopus he didn't know what to do next perhaps it was time to reveal the
04:47truth shizuka however had no such intention after all summer vacation was starting that day episode 5
04:53of octopus p's original sin delivers a shocking twist octopus he realizes to its utter surprise that
04:58this isn't the first time it has
