Short filmTranscript
00:00:02Ever's the day we were trapped in the snow-covered mountains, Mom has called me a liar.
00:00:08Not because I actually lied, but because of this thing on my wrist, the Thermal May Monitoring Bracelet.
00:00:17My mother Grace is obsessed with technology.
00:00:20The one belief she holds above all else is that data never lies.
00:00:31In an environment like this, every single calorie must be used where it matters most.
00:00:37Anyone showing a red light gets no food for the day.
00:00:43Mine is green.
00:00:47Your bracelet is red! You're recklessly consuming the last remaining calories in this house!
00:00:52Mom, I only had a cup of water this morning. I really don't know why it's red!
00:00:57Shut up!
00:00:59Your body has excess heat. You don't deserve any rations today.
00:01:05Mom, I'm really cold and hungry.
00:01:08The machine doesn't lie, Chloe.
00:01:12From that day on, those words became the most unquestionable truth in that cabin.
00:01:16The red light on my bracelet became like a curse.
00:01:19It declared me over-consuming heat every single day.
00:01:23At noon that day, Mom distributed the food.
00:01:25Anna got a larger portion because her bracelet was green.
00:01:28She needs to replenish energy.
00:01:30Mine was pitifully small because my bracelet was flashing red.
00:01:34Mom, I haven't eaten anything. I'm really hungry.
00:01:38Chloe, machines don't lie.
00:01:40Just to get an extra bite, you're actually trying to deceive me.
00:01:42Look at your sister, Anna. Her bracelet is always green.
00:01:45She'd rather stay hungry than steal even a strip of food.
00:01:47And you, you're a thief!
00:01:49I didn't take any food. I really didn't.
00:01:52If you didn't steal anything, then why did I find the last piece of missing from the storage room this
00:01:58morning?
00:01:58I didn't take it!
00:02:11I ate it.
00:02:14She ate it! It's totally Anna! She just told me!
00:02:18Mom, I didn't!
00:02:19Sister, why are you accusing me?
00:02:22Mom, my bracelet is green. How could I have stolen the chocolate?
00:02:31Not only are you selfish enough to steal food, you even viciously frame your own sister!
00:02:39How did I end up with such a cruel daughter?
00:02:47Mom, I didn't lie. It really wasn't me.
00:02:56Please, just believe me this once. Just once.
00:03:01No.
00:03:02Even just a fraction of the tenderness she showed when she looked at Anna.
00:03:08Mom, I really didn't lie to you. Please believe me this time. I'm your daughter.
00:03:14Look at her.
00:03:15Look at it yourself. Red. Chloe, it's red. It shows excess calories. If you didn't steal food, then who did?
00:03:22Your sister's bracelet is green. She can barely even stand. How could she possibly steal anything?
00:03:27I have to punish a lying child like you.
00:03:38I was wrong. I won't lie again. Mom, please.
00:04:01Mom, will my sister freeze lying there?
00:04:04Her? She won't freeze. Her bracelet is red. She's got excess heat.
00:04:09Anna, don't be like her. Be an honest child.
00:04:14My heart felt like it was being clenched by an icy hand. The pain so intense I could barely breathe.
00:04:22I didn't even have the strength to struggle anymore. My forehead began to burn with heat. Even my breath carried
00:04:29an abnormal warmth.
00:04:30Grace, Chloe doesn't look well. Her face is too red. Could she have a fever? Maybe we should give her
00:04:36some hot water?
00:04:38David, her bracelet is red. This isn't a fever. She secretly ate chocolate and her body temperature rose because of
00:04:45excess calories.
00:04:47She fooled you.
00:04:51You're still lying. Pretending to be sick to gain my sympathy? Looks like you need a real lesson.
00:04:57You're going to the attic right now to reflect on your mistakes.
00:05:10Mom, I really didn't steal the chocolate. I didn't lie.
00:05:25Mom, don't lock me in here. I'll die.
00:05:30When you figure it out, when you admit you stole the chocolate and your bracelet turns green, I'll let you
00:05:36out. Otherwise, you can stay here forever and reflect.
00:05:55Chloe, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you.
00:06:03Back then, she loved me too, didn't she?
00:06:14Grace, maybe we should let Chloe out. She hasn't eaten anything today.
00:06:18I had Anna bring her some bread.
00:06:20I wanted to say no one had brought me anything, but the words got stuck in my throat because I
00:06:26knew he wouldn't believe me.
00:06:40Big sister, are you cold? Are you hungry? Don't you really want some hot water and a biscuit?
00:06:47Anna, I'm so cold and hungry. Please give me the water and the biscuit.
00:06:52Give it to you?
00:06:57Oh, right. I almost forgot to tell you. That chocolate? I was the one who ate it. So sweet. So
00:07:03delicious.
00:07:03Too bad you didn't get any. But what can you do? Your core shack is red.
00:07:07Mom only believes me, not you. Want a drink? Then beg me. Say you're a liar that you stole the
00:07:13chocolate.
00:07:14Say it, and I'll let you drink. Oops. My hand slipped. Sorry, big sister.
00:07:22I looked at the board beneath me as it frozen solid. Suddenly, I couldn't feel my feet anymore.
00:07:27The dizziness from the fever grew stronger and stronger. My vision blurred.
00:07:30I could clearly feel it. My body heat slipping away little by little. My life draining out of me.
00:07:33But I still couldn't accept it. I still hadn't lived to see the day Mom believed me.
00:07:39Mom, I'm so cold. I'm so hungry. I really didn't lie. Please believe me. Just once. Please.
00:07:46Dad, save me. I'm going to die. Dad!
00:07:51Music started playing downstairs. It was the deafening Symphony No. 5.
00:07:55The intense, surging music instantly drowned out my faint cries for help.
00:07:59The sound of me pounding on the floor completely swallowed them.
00:08:02She knew I was calling for help. She heard me. She just didn't want to listen.
00:08:07With that thunderous music, she blocked her own ears and completely cut off my last path to survival.
00:08:13My hands stopped pounding. In that moment, all my strength, all my hope, all my unwillingness vanished.
00:08:20I was so hungry. So cold. But Mom would never believe me. She would only believe the bracelet.
00:08:29The machine doesn't lie. What a ridiculous sentence.
00:08:33I don't know how much time passed. My body stopped trembling.
00:08:37Instead, a strange warmth began to spread across my skin. A false burning sensation, as if I were no longer
00:08:43cold.
00:08:44I raised my hand and looked at my little finger, frozen to a purplish blue.
00:08:47Without a single ripple in my heart, I bent it forcely. Crack. A faint snapping sound.
00:08:51My little finger broke. But I felt no pain at all. So this is what it's like when a person
00:08:55is freezing to death.
00:08:56You really feel nothing.
00:08:58Mom. I thought again of when I was very young.
00:09:00Then stir. Her embrace was so her warm. Her smile was so gentle.
00:09:04I want to go back to that time. I want Mom to hug me just once more.
00:09:08February 14th. 7th day of the blizzard. Mom found the chocolate missing. She said I stole it. It wasn't me,
00:09:14Anna ate it. My bracelet turned red. Mom hit me, shocked me with the bracelet, took my blanket and gave
00:09:18it to Anna. I'm so cold.
00:09:24Chloe, come here. Let Mom hug you.
00:09:32I felt weightless. I looked down. I was floating. And there below me I saw myself lying on that frozen
00:09:37pile of cardboard. My right hand was missing a little finger. The dead girl's wrist was still flashing red.
00:09:42Oh. Oh. I'm dead.
00:09:45I looked down. My body was still curled up on the freezing wooden floor. The thermal monitoring bracelet was still
00:09:51tightly fastened around my lifeless, purplish wrist. The red light continued flashing tirelessly, reflecting on my pale, expressionless face. Eerie
00:09:59and ironic.
00:10:00I was dead. I died at the age of 10 in a blizzard in the Alps, locked in a freezing
00:10:04attic by my mom I loved most, frozen to death. I hovered there, looking at my own corpse. I didn't
00:10:09cry. I wasn't afraid.
00:10:10There was only a vast, lifeless calm inside me, like a nightmare that had lasted 10 years, finally ending.
00:10:15My soul passed through the attic door like a gust of wind, without the slightest resistance. I drifted down the
00:10:22stairs, into the living room. Mom, Dad, and Anna were gathered around the table by the fire, smiles on their
00:10:28faces. Smiles I hadn't seen in a long time. The satellite phone on the table was lit.
00:10:34I heard it. Just moments ago, Mom had gotten through to the rescue team. They said the blizzard had weakened.
00:10:41In two days, they would be able to fly up in a helicopter and take us down the mountain. We
00:10:45were saved, except me. I died three days before the rescue arrived. I died just as the storm was about
00:10:53to end.
00:10:53That's great! We can finally leave this awful place! Mom, I want cake! Don't we still have that emergency cream
00:11:00cake in storage? I want to eat it now!
00:11:02Alright.
00:11:08That cake Dad had bought it for me before we came to the mountains. I couldn't bear to eat it,
00:11:13so I hid it deep in the storage room. I wanted to wait until the blizzard ended, then take it
00:11:18out and share it with Mom, Dad, and my sister. I had even drawn a picture of our family on
00:11:23the box and written the words,
00:11:24I love Mom. Eat slowly. No one's going to take it from you.
00:11:31Hmm.
00:11:32When we get down the mountain, I'll buy you a bigger, even better cake.
00:11:37I floated in front of them, watching this warm, joyful scene. And somewhere where my heart should have been, there
00:11:44was pain.
00:11:45Oh, right. Chloe is still locked in the attic. Since rescue is coming soon, maybe we should let her out.
00:11:52Let her have something to eat. She's been locked up for two days.
00:11:57She's been locked up for two days! She should have learned her lesson!
00:12:10My breath stopped instantly. Was she going to the attic? Was she going to see me? Was she finally going
00:12:18to discover that I was dead?
00:12:22Chloe.
00:12:26Chloe, come out and eat!
00:12:28No response.
00:12:30I'm inside! I can't answer you! I'm already dead! If you open the door, you'll see my body! I'm already
00:12:38dead!
00:12:39I looked at Mom with sorrow. If she found out I was dead, would she be sad? Would she regret
00:12:45it?
00:12:45Still sulking? You're already ten, not five. Trying to get my attention this way? Then don't come out.
00:12:51Mom! I'm not sulking! I'm dead! I'm already dead! Look at me! I froze to death! Right there in the
00:12:57attic!
00:12:57I'm not lying! The bracelet is broken! Anna ate it! Look at me!
00:13:02Why did it suddenly get so cold? Is the fireplace not burning strong enough? David, go add some more wood!
00:13:08Mom couldn't hear my voice. She couldn't feel my presence. I was a ghost. A ghost who died at her
00:13:15hands, ignored and forgotten.
00:13:17Don't sound the colder money. See us, babe!
00:13:20Shouldn't we turn on the heating? The rescue team will be here soon, anyway?
00:13:24You're right. Let them see that even in this kind of environment, we can still maintain a scientific standard of
00:13:29living.
00:13:30She went downstairs and turned on the central heating and the floor heating throughout the house.
00:13:37The temperature in the attic rose as well. My body began to decompose faster.
00:13:45The water spread outward, soaking through the cardboard, seeping into the floor.
00:13:50I watched my body grow colder and stiffer, little by little, until signs of decay began to appear.
00:13:57That was my smell. The smell of death.
00:14:01They were going to leave after being rescued. They were going to leave this cabin that had trapped me.
00:14:06They were going to leave my body here, forever in this cold attic.
00:14:11I'll take something to Chloe. She's been in the attic for two days. She hasn't even had a sip of
00:14:15water.
00:14:16Take what? Her red light is on like that. She's got more than enough energy. She won't starve.
00:14:25Dad! Open the door! Hurry! Open it!
00:14:29If you just turn the handle, you'll see that I'm not moving anymore. You'll see my darkened face.
00:14:39Hello? Rescue team? Yes, this is David.
00:14:42What? You can come up the mountain in two days? That's great!
00:14:46The rescue team said the blizzard will completely stop. In two days they'll be able to come up.
00:14:53It was that close, just that tiny bit, just one second. I could have been found.
00:14:58Maybe then, I wouldn't have to keep decaying.
00:15:12Mom was the first to notice.
00:15:16What is that smell? It's disgusting!
00:15:19Oh my god! It stinks! It's coming from the attic!
00:15:22Did my sister go on the floor? Did she do it on purpose? Is she trying to stink us to
00:15:27death?
00:15:32Chloe! What are you doing in there? It stinks!
00:15:51Chloe, didn't you want to disgust us? Fine. Then stay in there with your stink. Don't even think about coming
00:15:57out to pollute our air.
00:16:00The last trace of my attachment to her snapped completely, just like that strip of tape.
00:16:05She would rather seal the cracks of the door with tape and endure the increasingly unbearable stench than push the
00:16:11door open and look at her own daughter.
00:16:13I'm right here.
00:16:16Can't you see me?
00:16:22The tape in the end couldn't block the overwhelming stench of a rotting body. Another day passed. It was the
00:16:28day the rescue team had promised to come up the mountain.
00:16:45Chloe! I've had enough of you, you disgusting little brat! What exactly are you trying to do? Making the whole
00:16:52house stink on purpose? Are you trying to torment us?
00:16:54I'm gonna teach you a lesson today!
00:17:11Chloe?
00:17:13Chloe?
00:17:24I'm talking to you, Chloe!
00:17:48Chloe?
00:17:52No. No, that's impossible. Chloe?
00:17:55You're pretending, aren't you, Chloe? You're lying to Mom again, aren't you?
00:18:00Get up! Mom's not angry anymore! I won't scold you again! Get up! Don't scare me! Please!
00:18:07Her hand trembled as she reached beneath my nose. No breath. Then she reached for my neck, feeling for a
00:18:13pulse. Nothing. Only coldness. Only silence. I was truly dead.
00:18:18Dead in the attic she had locked with her own hands. Dead in the cold and hunger she had caused.
00:18:24Dead under the gaze. She never once chose to believe.
00:18:27Impossible. The machine doesn't know. What is it?
00:18:41They had followed the sound of the screams. The team leader pushed open the attic door and froze the moment
00:18:46he saw what was inside. The body of a ten-year-old girl lay curled up on the cold floor.
00:18:51A bracelet flashing red on her wrist. A woman sat collapsed on the ground. Screaming like a mad woman. Her
00:18:58eyes unfocused completely deranged.
00:19:00David and Anna, who had followed behind, turned deathly pale the moment he saw my body. David's legs gave out,
00:19:07and he collapsed at the doorway, his whole body trembling violently.
00:19:11How did this happen? How did this happen? How did this happen? How did this happen?
00:19:15He finally understood. Behind the door he had almost opened that day, lay his daughter's cold corpse.
00:19:22He finally understood that his repeated hesitation and retreat had ultimately pushed me to my death.
00:19:28Anna hid behind David, staring at my bluish, swollen face, and fear finally showed on her face.
00:19:35She burst into tears, clinging tightly to David's arm, her body shaking like a leaf in the autumn wind, barely
00:19:42able to stand.
00:19:44She was finally afraid. She finally understood that her prank, her lies, her framing, had cost a life, had killed
00:19:52her own sister.
00:19:56Quick! Call a doctor! Seal off the scene!
00:20:00The rescue team leader quickly snapped out of it, and shouted sharply at the others.
00:20:05Unable to suppress the anger in his voice, the team set up a cordon.
00:20:09The doctor pushed through the crowd and entered the attic, crouching beside my body for a long time.
00:20:15Examining carefully, his movements gentle, as if afraid of damaging my already fragile skin.
00:20:20Severe hypothermia. Organ failure. This child was starved for at least a month, and in temperatures well below freezing, she
00:20:29froze to death.
00:20:31Time of death was two to three days ago.
00:20:33It's not my fault! She was lying! She stole food! Look! The bracelet is red! The red light! It says
00:20:42she has excess calories!
00:20:44I followed the data! Machines don't lie!
00:20:47The doctor frowned, crouched down, and carefully tried to remove the bracelet from my wrist.
00:20:53But the strap had fused tightly with my frozen, purplish skin, almost as if it had grown into the flesh.
00:20:59Gritting his teeth, the doctor took out specialized tools and carefully pried the bracelet off.
00:21:04Little by little, I floated in mid-air, watching the bracelet that had been on me for ten whole days
00:21:10finally leave my wrist.
00:21:11This cold shackle that had trapped me for ten days, that had caused my death, finally fell away.
00:21:17The doctor held the bracelet, turning it over and over, then opened the casing on the back.
00:21:23After just one glance, he let out a cold laugh, looking up at Mom.
00:21:28Ma'am, your so-called infuelable machine has been broken for a long time.
00:21:33The temperature sensor and calorie monitoring module have completely failed.
00:21:37The circuit shorted out, which is why the red light stays on.
00:21:41From the very first day it was worn, it was already broken.
00:21:44It couldn't measure anything at all, it could only keep flashing red.
00:21:47The truth, she had trusted above all else.
00:21:51The things she relied on to judge my life and death, had been a joke from the very beginning.
00:21:59You are lying!
00:22:06I hadn't lied. Not once.
00:22:10The bracelet was broken. She was wrong.
00:22:13No. No, that's impossible.
00:22:20No! Impossible! Machines don't lie!
00:22:26Look! Anna's bracelet is still green!
00:22:29This proves the system works! This is scientific!
00:22:33At that moment, a female rescue worker walked over to Anna, bent down, and took something out of her pocket.
00:22:39It had been hidden there for days, crumpled beyond recognition, still smeared with traces of chocolate, holding the wrapper.
00:22:47The rescue worker walked up to Mom, and said coldly,
00:22:51Ma'am, is this the chocolate you said was stolen?
00:22:55We found it in your younger daughter's pocket.
00:22:58All eyes turned instantly toward Anna.
00:23:01Anna's face went pale in an instant.
00:23:08It wasn't me! My sister told me to hide it! She ate it, not me!
00:23:17But this time, no one believed her anymore.
00:23:23Little girl, take off your bracelet and show it to me.
00:23:27Anna froze instantly.
00:23:32No! Mom gave it to me! I won't take it off!
00:23:35But the doctor gave her no chance to argue.
00:23:38He pulled out a screwdriver, and pried the bracelet open on the spot.
00:23:42What was inside made everyone gasp.
00:23:44No sensors.
00:23:46No chip.
00:23:47No heat.
00:23:47Monitoring module.
00:23:49Nothing at all.
00:23:50Only two cheap green LED lights and a button battery.
00:23:53The circuit was hardwired, once powered.
00:23:56It is just a two yuan toy.
00:23:58He doctor slammed the shattered bracelet onto the ground in front of Mom.
00:24:02His voice trembled with barely contained rage.
00:24:05This bracelet of your younger daughter was designed to always show green from the very beginning.
00:24:10No matter what she said, what she did, or how much she lied, it would always stay green.
00:24:14Ma'am, your so-called scientific survival system, your so-called infuelable data,
00:24:19from beginning to end, was nothing but a complete joke.
00:24:22A sick, biased joke.
00:24:23You personally froze your honest daughter to death in that attic,
00:24:26while treating a compulsive liar like treasure.
00:24:29Mom looked at the shattered plastic pieces on the ground,
00:24:32at the toy still glowing green, and suddenly, she laughed.
00:24:39She laughed loudly, so loudly that tears came out of her eyes.
00:24:43She doubled over, collapsing onto the floor,
00:24:47her whole body curling up with laughter.
00:24:52Fake. It's all fake.
00:24:55Mom suddenly screamed, and then she did something insane.
00:24:59No way! The bracelet can't be wrong.
00:25:02I didn't eat anything today.
00:25:03My calories couldn't possibly be over.
00:25:06It'll turn green.
00:25:08She grabbed the bracelet, still stained with my blood and fragments of skin,
00:25:11and snapped it onto her own wrist.
00:25:13She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.
00:25:16She raised her wrist, her eyes wild.
00:25:19Look. It'll turn green.
00:25:21The red light flared, bright, violent.
00:25:24Mom's confident expression shattered instantly.
00:25:26She slapped at the bracelet, like it was a broken television,
00:25:29panic rising in her voice.
00:25:31What? No! My calories can't be over!
00:25:35I didn't exceed anything! Why is it red? I didn't lie!
00:25:39She started speaking, faster and faster.
00:25:42It's broken! The doctor broke it! I'll try again!
00:25:45I've never abused her! I was doing it for her good! I love-
00:25:49Why is it red? I'm telling the truth!
00:25:52Turn green, you piece of junk! You're framing me!
00:25:55Suddenly, she remembered me.
00:25:57Ten-year-old me, punished so severely,
00:25:59curled up on the floor, biting my lip to stop myself from screaming.
00:26:03But the red light kept flashing, as if it was speaking to her.
00:26:07Again and again. You are a liar. You are a liar.
00:26:10No!
00:26:12Mom suddenly screamed, clawing frantically at the bracelet,
00:26:16trying to rip it off her wrist.
00:26:18Take it off! It's red! I'm not a liar! I'm not!
00:26:22But the clasp had locked due to her violent struggle,
00:26:25like a shackle, tightly bound to her wrist,
00:26:27just as it had once been tightly bound to mine.
00:26:31A doctor picked up the diary from the floor.
00:26:34He flipped through it, page by page,
00:26:38his expression growing darker and darker.
00:26:42February 14th. Day seven of the blizzard.
00:26:44Mom found the chocolate missing.
00:26:46She said I stole it. I didn't. It was Anna who ate it.
00:26:49My bracelet turned red. Mom hit me, shocked me with the brazier.
00:26:52Mom locked me in the acnic. Dad took my bring me food.
00:26:55But Anna stopped him. Anna poured hot water onto my cardboard bed.
00:26:58I hit the floor and called for Mom.
00:27:00But she turned up the music so loud she couldn't hear me.
00:27:04When I was nine,
00:27:05Anna broke Mom's most precious tech robot,
00:27:08and cried saying I did it, without even asking.
00:27:11Mom locked me in the storage room for a full day and night with no food or water.
00:27:15I banged on the door,
00:27:17crying that it wasn't me, but she wouldn't listen.
00:27:20And Anna, she was curled up in Mom's arms,
00:27:23eating sweet strawberries,
00:27:25watching me be locked away with a happy smile.
00:27:27Countless days and nights,
00:27:30Anna stole my toys,
00:27:31tore my drawings,
00:27:32ruined my homework,
00:27:33and then cried to Mom,
00:27:35saying I didn't.
00:27:36Every single time, Mom believed Anna without question,
00:27:39then scolded me, punished me,
00:27:41and made me stand in a cold corner without food.
00:27:46Machines don't lie.
00:27:48Anna's wristband is green.
00:27:50You're just a liar.
00:27:51Mom, I really didn't lie.
00:27:54I've never lied to you.
00:27:55I know you don't like me, but I still love you.
00:27:58If I die, will you regret it?
00:28:01Will you miss me even a little?
00:28:03If there's a next life, can you believe me once?
00:28:07Can you please stop calling me a liar?
00:28:10Every word struck like a heavy hammer,
00:28:13crashing down on on my Mom's heart.
00:28:15She covered her face and let out a heart-wrenching cry,
00:28:18like a wounded beast.
00:28:20She remembered the fourth day of the blizzard,
00:28:23the slap she gave me across the face,
00:28:25and the electric shock that coursed through my entire body.
00:28:30She remembered pulling the only blanket off me
00:28:33and wrapping it around Anna instead,
00:28:35and the despair in my eyes.
00:28:39She remembered me banging on the floor,
00:28:42screaming for her help,
00:28:43while she deliberately turned up Symphony of Fate
00:28:46to the maximum volume to block out her own ears.
00:28:49She remembered sealing the cracks of the attic door with tape,
00:28:53and the disgust and impatience she felt at the time.
00:28:58She had personally, little by little,
00:29:00pushed her daughter toward death.
00:29:02She had personally killed the little girl who loved her most,
00:29:05and trusted her most.
00:29:10Mom let out a piercing scream,
00:29:12and suddenly raised her head,
00:29:15looking toward Anna curled up in the corner.
00:29:17It's you!
00:29:19It's all you!
00:29:21She lunged forward like a mad woman,
00:29:24tightly gripping Anna's throat,
00:29:26screaming hysterically.
00:29:28You're the one who lied.
00:29:29You're the one who stole the chocolate!
00:29:31You tricked me!
00:29:33You killed Chloe!
00:29:35I'm going to kill you!
00:29:37You'll pay for my daughter's life!
00:29:42The rescue staff and doctors rushed in and pulled Mom away,
00:29:47pinning her firmly down on the sofa.
00:29:51My dad watched everything,
00:29:53the crazed mother,
00:29:54the terrified Anna,
00:29:56and the blood-stained note in the evidence bag,
00:29:58and finally snapped.
00:30:03You monster!
00:30:04You monster!
00:30:06That was your daughter!
00:30:08Our daughter!
00:30:08You froze her to death with your own hands!
00:30:11How dare you! How could you?!
00:30:15It's not my fault.
00:30:18It was the wristband.
00:30:20It was Anna.
00:30:22It's not my fault.
00:30:24My body was placed into a black body bag,
00:30:27the zipper slowly closed,
00:30:29sealing away my short ten years of life filled with pain and despair.
00:30:33Don't take her away!
00:30:34Give her remember back to me!
00:30:36She ran across the snowfield,
00:30:38her bare feet stepping onto sharp ice shards,
00:30:40instantly cutting her skin.
00:30:42Blood trailed across the white snow,
00:30:44leaving a shocking red path behind her.
00:30:47Chloe! Mom will give you all the food rations!
00:30:50Please open your eyes and look at me!
00:30:53She reached the landing gear area,
00:30:55desperately jumping upward,
00:30:57trying to grab hold of the edge of the body bag,
00:31:00but she only grasped empty, freezing air,
00:31:03and swirling snowflakes.
00:31:06This incident quickly spread across the world.
00:31:09The rescue team's camera had recorded everything.
00:31:12One of the crew members accidentally uploaded the footage online,
00:31:16and from there,
00:31:17it spread like an unstoppable avalanche.
00:31:28The entire internet exploded.
00:31:31Netizens were in full outrage.
00:31:39The entire internet exploded.
00:31:41And that father too, he did nothing the entire time,
00:31:44just watched his daughter being abused.
00:31:47He deserves to die as well.
00:31:48A flood of insults poured in like an avalanche,
00:31:51crashing down on my mom, my dad,
00:31:53and this shattered family.
00:31:55On the second day after the incident escalated,
00:31:58our villa at the foot of the mountain
00:32:00was completely surrounded by an enraged crowd.
00:32:03The front gate had been splashed with bright red paint.
00:32:06In thick black marker, the words murderers,
00:32:09get out of this city, and justice for Chloe,
00:32:12were written everywhere.
00:32:14The villa windows had been smashed with bricks.
00:32:17Red paint and abusive slogans covered the walls and floors.
00:32:21At the entrance, reporters and furious protestors packed tightly together.
00:32:26Behind them, the crowd held signs filled with insults,
00:32:29chanting loudly until the noise shook the air.
00:32:32Grace, the murderer, get out!
00:32:34You don't deserve to be a mother!
00:32:36Pay for Chloe's life!
00:32:38Evil family, get out of Switzerland!
00:32:40Neighbors had already moved out one after another.
00:32:43The property management even came with legal notices,
00:32:46demanding we leave immediately.
00:32:48Saying our presence had severely damaged neighborhood safety and property values,
00:32:52and caused extreme disturbance to other residents.
00:32:55Inside the villa, everything was in chaos.
00:32:57The curtains were tightly drawn.
00:32:59The lights stayed off.
00:33:00Only the glow of the television illuminated the pale faces of my dad and my mom.
00:33:04The house phone had been completely overwhelmed.
00:33:07Every call that came through brought waves of insults and curses.
00:33:10Even the mobile phones couldn't be turned on.
00:33:12The moment they were switched on,
00:33:13countless abusive messages and non-stop harassing calls flooded in.
00:33:17It's not my fault.
00:33:19It's not my fault.
00:33:22It's not my fault.
00:33:26It's not my fault.
00:33:30It's all your fault!
00:33:32All of it!
00:33:33If it weren't for that damn bracelet of yours,
00:33:35if you hadn't trusted those useless data readings,
00:33:37Chloe wouldn't be dead!
00:33:38We wouldn't have ended up like this!
00:33:40You're a mad woman!
00:33:41A murderer!
00:33:45What right do you have to blame me?
00:33:47You were there to save her!
00:33:48You're an accomplice!
00:33:49You deserve to die too!
00:34:21Mom and Dad had no choice but to sell the house, the car,
00:34:25and everything valuable in the home to cover legal fees and compensation.
00:34:42How dare you!
00:34:48Stop!
00:34:57Don't touch my things!
00:34:59Those are mine!
00:35:01Give them back!
00:35:05These items have been seized and auctioned by the court.
00:35:08They no longer belong to you.
00:35:13They no longer belong to you.
00:35:23If you fail to repay the debt,
00:35:25we will file for court enforcement and have you imprisoned it.
00:35:47Scalise?
00:35:48Anna.
00:36:07Anna, look at Anna.
00:36:08Anna, it's not fair.

00:39:48tried to run toward dad's direction as if hoping he would save her but dad had long since disappeared
00:39:56in the courtroom there was not a single person on her side
00:40:02in that moment she was truly alone just like i once was trapped in the attic with no one to

00:43:14finally free no red lights no hunger no cold no lies no mom's hatred no anna's framing no dad's in
00:43:21action only boundless freedom just then i heard a familiar bark i looked down a golden sled dog was
00:43:28sitting in the snow wagging its tail looking up at me with bright eyes it was buddy buddy was the
00:43:34dog i
00:43:35once raised a gift from dad on my eighth birthday a gentle golden retriever sled dog my only warmth in
00:43:42childhood when my mom called me a liar and anna bullied me only buddy would run over lie down by
00:43:51my feet and rub its head against my hand staying with me but mom didn't like it she said dogs
00:44:00carry
00:44:00germs and would affect her research before we came to the snowy mountains for vacation she took advantage
00:44:06of a moment when i wasn't paying attention and abandoned bunny in the mountains i cried for days and
00:44:17searched for days but i never found him it turns out he had always been here waiting for me at
00:44:23the border
00:44:30let's go don't look back i could feel his soft warm fur feel his body temperature feel his heartbeat this
00:44:39was the living breathing connection i had longed for most when i was alive
00:44:47in the distance a door of light appeared it was the entrance to the next cycle of reincarnation
00:44:54i turned back and took one last look at this world that had tormented me for 10 years one look
00:44:59in the
00:45:00direction of the psychiatric hospital and one look at the wooden cabin that had trapped me then i turned
00:45:05around holding buddy's paw and walked step by step toward that door of light everything behind me became
00:45:12like a faded photograph slowly blurring and dissolving my mother's final tears the bracelet's red glow the
00:45:20blood written message on the floor the freezing attic all of it vanished i did not look back the
00:45:26nightmare that had lasted wood for 10 years had finally come to a true end passing through that light
00:45:32there was no spinning no chaos only endless warmth as if i were sinking into a spring stream even the
00:45:39pain
00:45:39deep within my soul those lingering aches and phantom pains gradually faded away buddy's paw in my hand
00:45:45was warm and gentle when i opened my eyes again i was small wrapped in a soft blanket someone was
00:45:53humming
00:45:54it was a woman's voice gentle slightly off key yet filled with love her fingers lightly brushed across
00:46:02my cheek carrying the scent of gardenias not the cold disinfectant smell from my mother in my previous
00:46:08life not that clinical distant feeling you're awake honey come quickly our daughter just blinked
00:46:17he was tall with healthy wheel colored skin weathered features but his eyes were exceptionally gentle
00:46:24he was my father in this sweet life martin he was the same rescue captain from my previous life
00:46:30the first person to rush into the attic and find my body hey charlotte i'm your dad charlotte not chloe
00:46:43no burden no shackles no lies no label of liar just charlotte a name that meant warmth being cherished
00:46:52and being loved unconditionally i grew up in a home filled with love our house wasn't big but it was
00:46:58clean
00:46:58and warm in the living room there was a large fireplace that burned brightly every winter
00:47:03filling everything with cozy heat there were no heat monitoring bracelets no red or green lights
00:47:09no strict food rationing no cold attic only endless love and unconditional trust when i was three years old
00:47:17my mother made hot cocoa the aroma drifted from the kitchen into the living room
00:47:31baby i'm here
00:47:36charlotte you're safe now i'm here dad is here no one will hurt you
00:47:42my throat hurts i don't want hot cocoa
00:47:48not like the hot water in the attic thermos that anna once poured out
00:47:52not something that had been held up to my mouth before being taken away when i was four years old
00:47:58the kindergarten organized a health checkup that included a blood test
00:48:09charlotte it's just a tiny poke it won't hurt look at the other children they're all very brave
00:48:14don't punish me i didn't lie don't shock me
00:48:19sorry my child's experienced trauma we're going to skip the physical exam for now

00:48:36bracelet red light so cold my baby you must have suffered so much didn't you
00:48:42it's okay now you're home mom and dad are here no one can hurt you anymore
00:48:49from that day on they regularly took me to see a child psychologist
00:48:55the doctor said i had severe post-traumatic stress disorder
00:49:00my parents never complained once they never made me feel like a burden they stayed with me
00:49:06played games with me did therapy exercises with me slowly healing the wounds in my heart
00:49:13they bought me many many colorful beautiful bracelets but they never forced me to wear any of them
00:49:23these are just accessories charlotte wear them if you like if you don't just take them off no
00:49:27matter what your dad and i will always love you i looked at the sparkling bracelet on my wrist there
00:49:31was no red light no electric shock no accusation only my mother's gentle smile it took me two lifetimes
00:49:36to finally hear those words when i was five years old i once had a fever i started crying uncontrollably
00:49:44i feel hot it wasn't because i felt unwell it was because what i said mom immediately took a thermometer
00:49:51and checked my temperature
00:50:01mom if i say i feel hot do you believe me
00:50:07i believe you if you say you're hot then you're hot the thermometer says you're hot too of course i
00:50:14believe you what if the thermometer didn't say i was hot but i said i was would you still believe
00:50:20me
00:50:20i would your feelings are your own they don't need any machine to prove them i held on to those
00:50:27words
00:50:27in my heart for a long long time the afternoon i had a fever it started snowing outside dad wrapped
00:50:35me in a blanket and held me by the window as we watched the snow mom loved snowy days the
00:50:40most when
00:50:41i was a child building snowmen with my brother once i had placed the snowman's nose where its eyes should
00:50:47be why it was so the snowman could look down at its own feet otherwise it would never know what
00:50:56it was
00:50:57wearing i was wrapped in that blanket simply because they wanted me to feel warm so they wrapped me up
00:51:04in
00:51:04it it was soft thick and warm i buried my face in it and took a breath it smelled like
00:51:10fabric softener
00:51:11clean dry and unmistakably the scent of home when i was seven i started elementary school there was a
00:51:18girl in my class named lena she looked exactly like anna from my previous life the same eyes the same
00:51:24face
00:51:30sister you're so pitiful
00:51:37i'm my name is lena you do you want to be my friend her tone was so cautious so eager
00:51:45to please
00:51:46just like me in my previous life almost instinctively i glanced at her wrist she was wearing a cheap green
00:51:53cartoon wristband later i learned that lena's mother was also extremely strict she demanded
00:51:59absolute obedience and absolute honesty if lena made even the smallest mistake she would be locked
00:52:05in her room and denied food lena just like my past self lived in endless fear and suppression
00:52:10one day lena accidentally broke the teacher's glass cup
00:52:18i looked at her at the fear and despair in her eyes in that instant i was reminded of my
00:52:24past self
00:52:24the little girl who lay on the cold floor writing i am a liar over and over again begging for
00:52:30forgiveness
00:52:30again and again lena it's okay accidents happen let's go tell the teacher together okay the teacher
00:52:40won't be angry but mom said that children who lie are bad kids and they will be punished being honest
00:52:48doesn't mean you never make mistakes it means that when you do make a mistake you're brave enough to admit
00:52:52it and even if you tell the truth you shouldn't be punished for it i i broke the cup i'm
00:52:58sorry
00:52:59oh honey the teacher didn't get angry instead she smiled patted both our heads and said it was okay
00:53:06just to be more careful next time from that day on we became best friends i took lena home to
00:53:13meet my
00:53:13parents she looked at my mom and dad so gentle so patient never shouting over small things never
00:53:21punishing a child for making mistakes her eyes were filled with envy lena you don't need to please
00:53:27everyone you're allowed to have your own feelings you can say no you can be scared you can make
00:53:32mistakes none of that is shameful one day lena's mother came to school to pick her up when she saw
00:53:38us together her face immediately darkened she grabbed lena's hand tightly and said sharply
00:53:43did you cause trouble again is charlotte helping you lie
00:53:49auntie lena hasn't done anything wrong she's a very very good child you shouldn't always assume
00:53:56the worst about her she's afraid of you that night she called my mom they talked for a long time
00:54:04and in the end she said thank you thank you your daughter made me realize how terribly wrong i've been
00:54:14little by little lena's mother became gentler she started learning to listen instead of shouting
00:54:21to trust instead of blaming and lena too became more and more confident more and more open in my
00:54:30previous life i was never saved i endured all the pain alone in the darkness but in this life i
00:54:35can save
00:54:36others when i was 10 years old dad took us to the mountains not the alps just ordinary mountains
00:54:44dad was the captain of a mountain rescue team he knew every path in the area knew where the hidden
00:54:48ice was
00:54:49which slopes were dangerous where you could set up camp and where rocklops might happen after rain
00:54:54he led me along an easier trail mom walked behind us camera in hand taking photos from time to time
00:55:04here thank you dad have you ever seen people trapped in snowy mountains yes many times what happened
00:55:15the wind blew down to them in the end
00:55:20some were rescued some weren't the ones who weren't rescued
00:55:27do you still remember them i remember every single one do you know why i chose this job
00:55:35no because i hope that after every snowstorm no one is left alone in the mountains
00:55:40for everyone who gets trapped i hope someone can reach them in time the wind blew down from the
00:55:46mountain carrying the scent of pine trees and a faint coolness from the distant stream
00:55:50but it wasn't the kind of cold that selt into your bones it was breathable refreshing alive
00:55:56a summer kind of cool the coolness of being alive
00:56:06i stared at that photo for a long time that child was me clean looking outward alive not chloe curled
00:56:14up in the corner of an attic in my previous life that was charlotte standing in the sunlight standing
00:56:19between dad and mom at that moment i remembered the lines in my drawing book i remembered the hands that
00:56:25wrote them i remembered the child who use up her last bit of strength just say i love you so
00:56:31much
00:56:32you don't need a wristband to prove that what you say is true there are people here who believe
00:56:37you even without a wristband even without any device to verify it even if what you say sounds
00:56:42impossible there will still be someone who will catch every word you say there are people here who
00:56:47believe you hey in autumn one of dad's old rescue teammates came to visit bringing his wife and an
00:56:56elderly woman when with them she was his mother even though time had carved deep marks into her face
00:57:02even though it shed the obsession and madness of my previous life even though the eyes that once
00:57:06belonged to a scientist no longer held that burning phoneticism only gentleness and the weight of years
00:57:11i would never mistake her this was grace
00:57:23charlotte what's wrong sweetheart are you feeling unwell at that moment the old woman's gaze also fell
00:57:30on me her originally gentle eyes froze the instant she saw me
00:57:42this is your child yes this is our daughter charlotte i could clearly see the wrinkles at the corners
00:57:53of her eyes the white strands at her thames and the tears pooling in her eyes held back so tightly
00:58:02that they refused to fall charlotte such a beautiful name my throat felt blocked
00:58:10as if something was stuck there i was no longer chloe i am charlotte the charlotte who had grown up
00:58:19wrapped in love seeing that i remained silent a trace of panic flashed in her eyes
00:58:27how old are you
00:58:32ten ten that's good at lunchtime she sat directly across from me
00:58:39she carefully used serving chopsters to put food into my bowl
00:58:44auntie you're spoiling charlotte too much you should eat too
00:58:50it's fine when i look at this child i just feel an instant sense of closeness
00:58:56i looked at the pile of food in my bowl my emotions tangled and heavy
00:59:01in my previous life until the day i died i had always hoped just once that she would serve me
00:59:08a bite
00:59:08of food say something gentle to me or believe me even once but now she had done it only it
00:59:17was already
00:59:18too late in the afternoon i paint alone in the sunroom
00:59:25charlotte can i sit here for a while i won't disturb you while you draw
00:59:31she carefully walked over and sat down on the wicker chair beside me
00:59:35i know who you are and i also know who i am from the moment i was born i carried
00:59:43all my memories
00:59:45i remember everything i did to you
00:59:49i'm sorry chloe i'm sorry chloe i'm sorry chloe i'm sorry to you i'm really sorry

01:00:07why did i trust that broken wristband instead of my own daughter i remember slapping you i remember
01:00:16shocking you the way you curled up on the floor begging me to stop i remember locking you in the
01:00:24attic
01:00:25the way you clung to the door frame begging me not to lock it i remember kicking open the attic
01:00:34door
01:00:34and finding your frozen body and the red light still flashing on your wrist i saw your blood written
01:00:44letter every single word i carved into my heart and carried with me for the rest of my life
01:00:51you asked if there could be another life could i please trust you once could i stop calling you a
01:00:58liar
01:01:00but i didn't even give you that chance i destroyed it with my own hands i'm sorry
01:01:07it was a diary with a sunflower on the cover the flower i had loved most in my previous life
01:01:15chloe no charlotte i know that no matter how many apologies i say it's useless now i took your
01:01:23life i can never repay what i owe you not in this life not in the next i don't dare
01:01:31to ask for your
01:01:32forgiveness i just i just wanted to tell you sorry in person i just want you to know that i
01:01:39understand
01:01:39now love is not measured by machines nor judged by data it is listening to you believing what you say
01:01:45holding you and telling you that your mother is here but i understood all of that far too late
01:01:49too late i'm so sorry charlotte she was crying so hard that her whole body trembled
01:01:57her aged face was covered in tears and regret
01:02:02i looked at her for a long time in my previous life lying on the cold floor of the attic
01:02:09what i had
01:02:09wanted most before dying was a single apology from her a single i believe you but now she was truly
01:02:17standing in front of me saying countless apologies and yet i realized they no longer mattered to me i
01:02:23already had a new life parents who loved me a warm home and a bright future auntie i don't hate
01:02:30you
01:02:30anymore her tears fell even harder her lips trembled as if she wanted to say something but no words came
01:02:36out but i also won't call you mom again the me i am now what is charlotte i have my
01:02:41own parents they
01:02:42love me very much i've received your repentance i don't hate you anymore because i don't want to be
01:02:48trapped by the past i don't want to spend my entire life living inside that snowy mountain nightmare
01:02:54but i also won't forgive you not because of hatred but because what happened does not deserve
01:02:59forgiveness after hearing my words her body swayed she covered her face and let out a broken
01:03:06desperate sob she knew i was right it was too late everything was too late when she locked me in
01:03:16the attic and let me freeze to death where was her remorse then when i kept calling her mom over
01:03:22and
01:03:22over telling her i wasn't lying where was her remorse then when i used my last strength to write a
01:03:29blood
01:03:29letter begging her to believe me just once where was her remorse then now it was all too late that
01:03:38afternoon when jason's family prepared to leave the old woman walked at the very end at the doorway she
01:03:45turned back to look at me once more her eyes were full of tears reluctance and endless loneliness
01:03:50then leaning on her cane she walked away slowly step by step i stood at the door watching her aged
01:03:55hunched body disappear down the street and in my heart there was no ripple at all mom walked over
01:04:00and gently hugged me from behind she didn't ask what had happened she simply patted my head softly
01:04:07no matter what happens your dad and i are here for you
01:04:12that night i lay in bed with steady breathing occasionally shifting as i chased something in
01:04:17my dreams i stared at the ceiling thinking of my previous life chloe chloe they were real
01:04:27the pain was real that cold abandoned time when no one came for me that was real too but i
01:04:35am no
01:04:36chloe i am charlotte and i no longer hate grace that winter dad's rescue team completed a high
01:04:44difficulty mission a family of three had been trapped near the 3000 meter snow line and they were
01:04:51all rescued safely no one was injured during the celebration the entire team was eating in the
01:04:58cafeteria mom sat in a corner smiling as she watched him i sat beside mom eating and listening to their
01:05:05stories they talked about the child from that stranded family a boy eight years old when they found him
01:05:12he was curled up in a hollow facing away from the wind his head wrapped tightly in his clothes he
01:05:18knew
01:05:19how to preserve body heat he lasted much longer than we expected after being rescued the first thing the
01:05:25boy asked was where is my mom mom is here that boy's mother is here my mother is here too
