Short filmTranscript
00:00I was born a liar, at least. That's the label mom slapped on me.
00:05As a diehard believer in data-driven parenting, she strapped truth bands on my twin sister Mia and me the
00:13day we were born.
00:14If we lied, the band flashed red, and mom would hit a remote to shock us.
00:20Mia's band was always green.
00:22She could shred mom's favorite dress to pieces, blame the cat, and her band would just glow a soft, gentle
00:33green.
00:34But for me, even if I just whispered,
00:38Mom, I'm hungry.
00:40My band would instantly explode into an angry red, followed by a piercing electric shock.
00:49I'm not a machine, mom!
00:50I used to try to defend myself, but she'd always say,
00:55Machines don't lie. Pain is how you learn. I'm doing this for your own good.
01:00After thousands of shocks, I honestly started to believe I was just completely broken.
01:07New Year's Eve, everything changed.
01:10New Year's Eve, everything changed.
01:14On New Year's Eve, Mom was getting ready to take Mia to see the fireworks.
01:18A sudden, tearing agony hit my stomach.
01:23I curled up on the floor, begging,
01:26Mom, my stomach hurts so much.
01:28Please help me.
01:30But my band just frantically flashed red.
01:34She glared down at me, shivering in a cold sweat, cranked the shock dial to the absolute max, and spat.
01:42You're pretending to be sick just so you can come watch the fireworks with us?
01:45You never change!
01:46She turned, grabbed Mia, and slammed the door behind them.
01:52I couldn't help but think she was right.
01:54The band was red, so I must not actually be in pain.
01:58I was just making it up for attention again.
02:02I'm sorry, Mom.
02:03Next time around, I promise I'll be an honest kid.
02:06It hurts so much!
02:08I writhed in agony, my fingernails scratching pale marks into the floorboards.
02:19The doorknob turned.
02:22A glimmer of hope sparked in my eyes.
02:26Mom was spat.
02:28She was a doctor.
02:29She must have realized something was horribly wrong and came back to save me.
02:34Are you done yet?
02:36The fireworks are about to start.
02:37Mia's getting impatient.
02:39Mom.
02:40I called out weakly, reaching a trembling hand toward the door.
02:44It really hurts.
02:45It feels like my intestines are tearing apart.
02:49She just glanced at the frantic red light flashing on my wrists.
02:53Squatting down, she pinched my chin, her voice dripping with venom.
02:58Lily, how long are you going to keep up this act?
03:01You're a pathological liar.
03:03You can stay home and think about what you've done.
03:05Honey, hurry up.
03:07The fireworks are about to start.
03:09If Singha doesn't want to go, fine.
03:12Should we leave her some food?
03:13Mom stood up and dusted off her hands, like touching me had made her filthy.
03:18Leave her food for what?
03:20She has plenty of snacks in her room.
03:22She bought them with money she stole last time.
03:24She won't starve.
03:25Lock the door.
03:27Don't let her out until that bracelet turns green.
03:29But?
03:30But what?
03:31Spare the rob?
03:32Spoil the child?
03:33Look at Mia.
03:34She's perfectly honest.
03:36Her band is always green.
03:38Lily is rotten to the core.
03:39We have to correct her.
03:41But my closet was completely empty.
03:44Mia was the one who stole the cash, and she ate all the snacks.
03:49Mia had just stood there, her band glowing that soft green, and said,
03:56It wasn't me.
03:58And Mom believed her.
04:00When I tried to defend myself and said I didn't take it either, the red light flashed, and I got
04:07shocked.
04:07I watched Mom turn around to leave.
04:13Mia peeked through the crack in the door and stuck her tongue out at me.
04:18Bye, sis.
04:19We're going to see the pretty fireworks.
04:22Her band was glowing a vibrant green.
04:24It really was beautiful.
04:26The door slammed shut, followed by the heavy click of the deadbolt.
04:30The house went dead silent, leaving just me alone with the saw tearing through my stomach.
04:38It hurts so much.
04:41Mom was right.
04:42Machines don't lie.
04:44The band is red, so I must be making this up.
04:48I'm not in pain.
04:50I'm really not in pain.
04:52Tears streaming down my face.
04:55I tried to brainwash myself.
04:58I don't know how much time passed, but it actually started to hurt less.
05:05Using my last breath, I dragged myself to the desk.
05:09I had to write my punishment lines.
05:13Those were the rules.
05:15Whenever the red light flashed, I had to write,
05:19I am a liar a thousand times.
05:22Once I finished, Mom would forgive me, right?
05:26She'd take me to the hospital then.
05:28With trembling hands, I flipped open my crumpled diary.
05:33The pages were crammed with all my previous apologies.
05:39I used to always write,
05:42I'm sorry, I was wrong.
05:44I won't lie again.
05:46But this time,
05:48I wanted to write the truth.
05:50My vision blurred.
05:53Crying,
05:54I used every last ounce of my strength to write,
05:59Mom,
06:00I really do love you.
06:02It hurts so much.
06:04Why won't you just believe me?
06:06Mom, please,
06:08just believe me this one time.
06:11The moment I finished the last word,
06:13the excruciating pain in my stomach completely vanished.
06:17My body felt light,
06:19and I began to float.
06:21I looked down and saw myself slumped over the desk,
06:25arm dangling in the air,
06:27completely motionless.
06:29The band on my wrist was still frantically flashing red,
06:33so I was dead.
06:35But I still hadn't learned how to be an honest kid.
06:40I'm sorry, Mom.
06:42I was awakened by a burst of laughter.
06:45It was my dad,
06:46my mom,
06:47and my sister.
06:48The fireworks were so beautiful tonight,
06:50especially the smiley face one.
06:52It was as cute as our Mia.
06:54There was a tenderness in Mom's voice
06:58that I had never heard before.
07:00I floated in midair,
07:01watching the front door open.
07:03Now a soul,
07:04I instinctively drifted toward them,
07:06wanting to bring them their slippers like I used to.
07:10It was a people-pleasing instinct carved into my bones.
07:13Mom.
07:14I opened my arms,
07:16wanting to hug the woman still carrying the chill of the night.
07:19I don't hurt anymore.
07:21I'll be good from now on.
07:23Please don't be mad.
07:25But my hands passed straight through her body,
07:28like trying to catch the wind.
07:29Mom shivered and frowned.
07:31Why is it so cold in here?
07:33Is the heat off?
07:34I froze,
07:35staring at my transparent palm.
07:38That's right.
07:38I was already dead.
07:40The dead can't hug the living.
07:43Go check on Lily.
07:44That girl hasn't come out to eat either.
07:45Don't let her really starve.
07:47Dad mentioned it casually.
07:48Dad was still the better one.
07:49I looked at Mom expectantly.
07:52If she found out I was dead,
07:54would she be sad?
07:55Would she regret it?
07:57Mom snorted and slipped into her house shoes,
08:00walking toward my room.
08:02She'd deserve it if she starved.
08:03Faking illness for attention is a bad habit
08:06that comes from being spoiled.
08:07She pushed my door open.
08:11She pushed my door open.
08:13She didn't turn on the light.
08:15By the light from the living room,
08:16she saw me slumped over the desk,
08:19motionless,
08:20as if asleep.
08:21Oh?
08:23Still lying there?
08:24You think lying on the desk,
08:25pretending to be pitiful,
08:27will make me carry you to bed?
08:28Lily, you're ten years old,
08:31not five.
08:32Mom!
08:32I'm not pretending to sleep.
08:35I'm dead.
08:36Look at me.
08:37Touch me.
08:38My body is cold.
08:40But Mom couldn't hear me.
08:42She only believed what she chose to see.
08:45My sister slipped in under her arm
08:47and raised her wrist proudly.
08:50Big Sat is a lazy pig.
08:52Look, my bracelet is green.
08:54Hers is still red.
08:55She's always lying.
08:58She even lies in her dreams.
09:00Mom patted her head.
09:01Dad peeked in from behind.
09:03Maybe carry her to bed?
09:04It's freezing.
09:05Carry her?
09:05For what?
09:06Kids these days are spoiled.
09:08This bracelet manufacturer say
09:09this is when you apply cold treatment.
09:11She has to realize her own mistakes.
09:13Look at that red light.
09:14It shows she's still in a state of extreme resistance.
09:17She hasn't reflected at all.
09:18That's enough.
09:19Go to bed.
09:20We're visiting Grandma tomorrow.
09:21Mom turned briskly
09:22and pulled the door closed again.
09:24I hovered beside my body,
09:26staring at the crimson light in the darkness.
09:28A sorrow deeper than death filling me.
09:32Mom, if you had just taken one step closer,
09:35just touched my hand,
09:36you would have known I was already cold.
09:39But you didn't.
09:40You trusted that cold machine
09:42more than the daughter you carried for ten months.
09:45Late at night,
09:46a rat crawled out from the empty cabinet.
09:48I used to be terrified of rats.
09:50I would scream every time I saw one.
09:53But now,
09:54I could only float near the ceiling
09:56and watch it roam freely over my corpse.
09:59I tried to shoo it away weakly,
10:01but no sound came out.
10:02The rat bit into my toe,
10:05dark purplish blood seeping out.
10:07I couldn't feel any pain.
10:09That was good.
10:10It finally didn't hurt anymore.
10:12I spoke to the pitiful shell below me.
10:14Don't be afraid.
10:15You can't feel pain anymore.
10:18It will all be over soon.
10:19The next morning,
10:21sunlight washed over my corpse,
10:23but it brought no warmth at all.
10:26Clattering sounds drifted in from the kitchen.
10:30Mom was making breakfast.
10:33The rich smell of frying bacon and eggs
10:36crept through the crack under my door.
10:39Normally, that was the smell I craved the most.
10:42But I was only ever allowed plain oatmeal
10:46because Mom said liars didn't deserve good food.
10:50Today, she was deliberately banging the spatula against the pan.
10:55I knew exactly what she was doing.
10:57She was trying to tempt me.
10:58She wanted me to give in to the hunger
11:01and crawl out to beg for forgiveness.
11:04In the past, I might have actually confessed
11:08to things I never did
11:10just for a single bite of food.
11:13But now, I didn't need to eat anymore.
11:15Lily still hasn't come out?
11:16Dad asked.
11:17Reading the newspaper at the dining table?
11:20No.
11:21Stubborn as a mule.
11:23She's just spoiled.
11:24If she doesn't want to eat, she can starve.
11:27Mia took a sip of her milk,
11:29her eyes darting around mischievously.
11:32She intentionally ran over to my door.
11:35Mom!
11:36It smells so gross in Lily's room!
11:39Did she use the floor as a toilet?
11:41Floating by the door,
11:42I looked at my sister with a bitter smile.
11:45I had already started to smell after just one night.
11:49Mom marched over,
11:50her forehead deeply wrinkled in disgust.
11:53You actually soiled your own room?
11:56She pounded on the door and roared.
12:01You are unbelievable!
12:03You throw away your own dignity
12:06just to throw a tantrum at me?
12:08It reminded me of when I was little.
12:11Once, I had severe stomach flu
12:14and couldn't make it to the bathroom in time,
12:16messing my pants.
12:17She pointed at me and told the neighbors,
12:20Look at this child, dirty as a pig.
12:23And now, she thought I was being filthy again.
12:28Just leave her!
12:30Mom waved her hand in disgust,
12:32like shooing away a fly.
12:34Let her sit in her own stitch.
12:36See how she likes it.
12:38Dad put down his paper.
12:40The smell really is getting strong.
12:42Let me go check on her.
12:43Maybe a rat died in the walls.
12:45He stood up and walked toward my bedroom door.
12:49My ghost heart leaped into my throat.
12:52Dad, hurry, open the door!
12:55Please, look at me.
12:58I'm right behind the door.
13:01If you just turn that knob,
13:03you'll see I'm not moving anymore.
13:06You'll see my face has already turned bruised and dark.
13:10Dad's hand grasped the doorknob.
13:13His phone suddenly blared.
13:15What?
13:15It was his boss calling.
13:16The server's crashed?
13:18Okay, okay, I'm on my way.
13:21Honey, there's a massive emergency at work.
13:23I have to go.
13:23I might not be back for a few days.
13:25Wait, what about Lily?
13:26I froze in midair.
13:29It was so incredibly close.
13:32Just one second away.
13:35If that call had come,
13:37just a moment later,
13:38they would have found me.
13:40Maybe then,
13:41I wouldn't have to keep rotting in here.
13:44That afternoon,
13:46Mom took Mia out shopping,
13:48leaving my corpse alone in the house.
13:50They came back in the evening.
13:51As soon as they walked in,
13:53the stench hit them even harder.
13:56Are you trying to turn this house
13:57into a literal dumpster?
13:59Instead, she grabbed a roll of duct tape,
14:01crouched down,
14:02and viciously sealed the crack under my door tight.
14:05Since you love the stench so much,
14:06you can just sit in it!
14:08Mom dusted off her hands in satisfaction.
14:11Finally, some peace and quiet.
14:12Watching that duct tape door,
14:15the very last shred of hope in my heart
14:17suffocated right along with the seal.
14:20So this was it.
14:21In Mom's mind,
14:23my life and death mattered
14:24even less than a fancy dinner.
14:27She would rather seal me in like a tomb
14:29than check if I was actually dying inside.
14:31You win, Mom.
14:33I will never bother you again.
14:35By the morning of the third day,
14:37the warm winter sun spilled into the living room,
14:40but it couldn't dispel the dark gloom
14:43hanging over the house.
14:44The thermostat was cranked way up
14:46to almost 80 degrees.
14:49The duct tape could no longer hold back the smell.
14:53It was a nauseating, thick, greasy stench of decay.
14:59Mom was trimming fresh flowers she had just bought,
15:02but no matter how strong the floral scent was,
15:06it couldn't mask the smell of a rotting corpse.
15:09Mom angrily snapped a rose stem,
15:13letting a thorn prick her finger.
15:16She had finally reached her breaking point.
15:20In her twisted logic,
15:22me not showering,
15:24using the room as a toilet,
15:26or even hiding dead rats in there,
15:29it was all just an act of rebellion
15:31to disgust her and challenge her authority.
15:34Lily, you are completely out of control!
15:37Mom stormed into the kitchen,
15:40grabbed a heavy wooden spoon,
15:42and marched furiously toward my room.
15:45Since the shock collar isn't working anymore,
15:48maybe you need some old-fashioned discipline!
15:53Floating right in front of her,
15:54looking at her contorted, furious face,
15:58I waved my hands frantically to stop her.
16:01Don't go in!
16:03Mom, please don't!
16:04I look awful!
16:06I'm rotting!
16:06You'll be scared!
16:08Even though she didn't love me,
16:10I still didn't want her to see me
16:12in such a horrific state.
16:14But she walked right through my spirit
16:18and viciously ripped the duct tape off the door frame.
16:21The sound of the adhesive tearing was piercing.
16:26She jammed the spare key into the lock and twisted.
16:30The door was violently shoved open.
16:34A sickening wall of concentrated death
16:37hit her instantly,
16:39like opening Pandora's box.
16:42Mom stumbled backwards,
16:44gagging as the stench assaulted her.
16:47Lily!
16:48What the hell are you doing in here?
16:50She looked up and saw me still slumped over the desk
16:54in the exact same position from three days ago,
16:57my back to her completely motionless.
17:00To her, this was a silent provocation.
17:05Pure, sheer arrogance.
17:08Are you deaf?
17:09Are you still playing dead?
17:11Blinded by rage,
17:12she closed the distance in three steps,
17:15raising the heavy wooden spoon high in the air.
17:18But she didn't strike right away.
17:21She wanted to yank me up first
17:23to see the stubborn expression
17:25she was sure was on my face.
17:28Get up!
17:29She grabbed me roughly by the back of the collar,
17:35her fingers digging into my skin.
17:37The very next second, she froze.
17:41The moment she made contact,
17:43time seemed to stop completely.
17:46Through the thin fabric of my pajamas,
17:49her fingers didn't feel warm living skin
17:52or soft flesh.
17:55Instead, she felt a block of ice-cold,
17:59rock-hard dead meat.
18:01It was a bone-chilling, unnatural cold,
18:06entirely devoid of the warmth of life.
18:12Mom hesitated for a fraction of a second,
18:15but her momentum carried through,
18:18yanking backward with brute force.
18:21My stiff body was pulled backward,
18:25falling rigidly.
18:26Taking the heavy desk chair down with it,
18:30crash.
18:30The chair slammed loudly against the hardwood floor.
18:35My corpse fell perfectly stiff,
18:38like a toppled marble statue.
18:40And finally, my face was revealed.
18:45I was no longer the timid little girl she knew.
18:49My face was a bruise, sickly purple.
18:53My eyes bulging.
18:55My features completely contorted
18:59from the sheer agony of my final moments.
19:03Dried white foam and dark, crusted blood
19:06stained the corners of my mouth.
19:09And there, on my blackened wrist,
19:13was the truth band Mom was always so damn proud of.
19:19It hung there, lifeless.
19:23The skin underneath was scorched pitch black
19:26from the electricity.
19:28The melted rubber fused directly into my charred flesh.
19:33No more red lights.
19:34No more green lights.
19:37Just dead, heavy silence.
19:40Smack.
19:41A soft thud.
19:43My diary, which had been pinned under my arm,
19:47slipped out as my body fell.
19:49It landed right at Mom's feet.
19:53It fell open,
19:56facing her perfectly.
19:59On that page,
20:02my messy, desperate handwriting
20:05stabbed into her eyes like daggers.
20:10Mom, my stomach really hurts.
20:12The band is broken.
20:13I swear I'm not lying.
20:15Please don't shock me anymore.
20:19It was a shriek that didn't even sound human.
20:23Piercing and guttural,
20:25like her throat was tearing apart.
20:27Mom stumbled backward,
20:30her lower back slamming hard against the bookshelf.
20:33A glass vase crashed to the floor,
20:36shattering into a million pieces.
20:39But she didn't even flinch.
20:42Her eyes were wide with pure terror,
20:45locked onto my body on the floor.
20:48No, no way.
20:51She shook her head frantically,
20:54her hair falling around her face like a mad woman.
20:57You're still faking it!
20:59This is makeup!
21:00It's a trick!
21:03Lily, get up right now!
21:08Mommy isn't mad anymore!
21:10Stop scaring me!
21:12Trembling violently,
21:14she reached out,
21:16trying to grab my stiff arm.
21:17But the split second,
21:20her fingertips brushed my freezing skin.
21:24She recoiled like she just touched a hot stove.
21:29That sensation,
21:31it was undeniably real.
21:35It was the temperature of death.
21:38Martha, her neighbor,
21:40called the cops.
21:41She had rushed over after hearing Mom's screams,
21:46took one look at the scene,
21:48and collapsed right in the doorway.
21:51Sirens soon flooded the neighborhood.
21:54The police swarmed in.
21:56Forensics followed.
21:58Crime scene tape went up.
22:01I watched them hustle in and out,
22:03camera flashes exploding over my corpse.
22:07A female officer had to drag Mom out
22:11to the living room couch.
22:13She was still babbling incoherently,
22:17trying to defend herself.
22:20Officer, I swear she was faking it!
22:23She's been a liar since she was a kid!
22:25The band was red!
22:26The machine doesn't lie!
22:28I was just disciplining her!
22:30I was doing it for her own good!
22:32Nobody even looked at her.
22:34Everyone just stared at her
22:36like she was an absolute monster.
22:38When the coroner tried to move my body,
22:42they ran into a problem.
22:45The truth band.
22:46The truth band.
22:48Because it had discharged high voltage electricity
22:52for so long,
22:53the intense heat had literally melted the rubber
22:57right into my skin.
22:59It was basically fused to my flesh.
23:04He had to grab a pair of medical shears
23:08to force it off.
23:10The sickening sound of skin tearing.
23:14Even though I was already dead,
23:16my phantom wrist throbbed.
23:18The band finally came off,
23:21taking a chunk of my charred flesh with it.
23:23A detective picked up my diary from the floor,
23:27flipping through it with gloved hands,
23:30his face growing darker by the second.
23:34Mom's eyes locked onto the notebook.
23:37Suddenly, she lunged at the detective
23:41like a rabid dog trying to snatch it.
23:44Those are her punishment lines!
23:47She definitely wrote it in there!
23:48She admitted she was lying!
23:50Read it!
23:50She confessed!
23:52The detective shoved her back hard
23:54and dropped the diary into an evidence bag.
23:58He glared at her with eyes as cold as ice,
24:02looking at her like she was pure garbage.
24:05We'll decide who was lying.
24:07Right then, Dad finally rushed back.
24:12He saw the black body bag being carried out the door.
24:17That long zipper sealing away my entire miserable life.
24:23Dad's legs gave out.
24:25He collapsed onto the lawn,
24:28literally wetting his pants in shock.
24:31Mia was standing to the side,
24:33sobbing in fear.
24:35She didn't even fully grasp what was happening.
24:40She just pointed at the bloody band left on the table
24:45and asked,
24:46Mommy, why is Lily's band black?
24:49And it's still green!
24:51She held up her wrist,
24:53the little green light still blinking cheerfully.
24:56It was a massive, sickening irony.
25:01The police began an impromptu interrogation in the living room.
25:07Mom acted like she just found her lifeline.
25:11She pointed sharply at my bloody band,
25:14her voice shrill and desperate.
25:17Check the band!
25:18You have to check the band!
25:20It proves she was lying!
25:21Red means lie.
25:23I only ever shocked her when it turned red.
25:25I'm not abusive.
25:27The machine told me to do it.
25:28I was just teaching her a lesson.
25:30The detective scowled at her,
25:33completely disgusted.
25:35Ma'am,
25:37your daughter's body
25:39is covered in old,
25:42repetitive electrical burn scars.
25:44That was discipline!
25:45It was education!
25:47Mom shrieked,
25:49cutting him off,
25:50desperate to prove she was right,
25:53desperate to prove she wasn't a murderer.
25:56She suddenly made the most insane demand.
26:02You don't believe me?
26:04That machine is flawless!
26:06I'll put it on right now!
26:07I'm telling the truth,
26:08so it's going to be green!
26:10She lunged for the table,
26:13snatching up the band
26:14that was still coated in my burnt skin and blood.
26:17completely ignoring the gore.
26:20Her hands shook wildly
26:22as she forced the strap around her own wrist.
26:26I'll show you.
26:27I'm innocent.
26:28If it's green,
26:29it means everything I've said is true.
26:31Trembling,
26:33she snapped the blood-soap device into place.
26:37Locked tight,
26:39the freezing rubber pressed against her skin,
26:43sticky and slick with my blood.
26:46Mom took a deep breath,
26:49trying to force herself to calm down.
26:52She was so desperate to prove I deserve to die,
26:56to prove her twisted parenting was flawless.
27:00She held her wrist up to the cops,
27:04a gleam of manic confidence in her eyes.
27:08Watch closely.
27:10My name is Evelyn.
27:11I am Lily's mother.
27:13It was a pure fact.
27:14The absolute truth.
27:17But then...
27:19A sharp,
27:21ear-piercing alarm
27:22instantly shrieked from the band.
27:24The long, dead red light
27:26violently exploded to life.
27:28Mom was stunned.
27:30Her cocky expression froze instantly.
27:32She smacked the band hard,
27:35like hitting a glitching TV remote.
27:37What the hell?
27:38What the hell?
27:38Is it broken?
27:39I'm telling the truth.
27:41I am Evelyn.
27:42Panic started setting in,
27:44her words spilling out faster.
27:47It has to be broken!
27:48That coroner must have busted it!
27:52Let me try again.
27:54I'm going to say it again.
27:56She swallowed hard,
27:57her voice pitching up in hysteria.
27:59I did not abuse my child.
28:02I was doing it for her own good.
28:04I loved her!
28:06The red light flashed even more violently,
28:08blurring into a solid block of furious red.
28:11And because it detected an extreme spike in heart rate,
28:16the band automatically triggered a mild electric shock.
28:20Mom jolted, her entire arm spasming as she flinched hard.
28:24It hurt.
28:25Even just a low-level shock was enough to cover her in goosebumps.
28:30It suddenly hit her.
28:32How I felt at 10 years old,
28:35being hit with the absolute maximum voltage,
28:38curling into a ball on the floor,
28:40biting through my own lip just to keep from crying out.
28:43So, this was how much it hurt.
28:46Mom completely lost her mind.
28:48Why is it red?
28:50Why?
28:51I'm telling the truth!
28:53Stop it, thing!
28:54I'm telling the insanity!
28:57Turn green, you stupid thing!
28:59You broken piece of trash!
29:01You're setting me up!
29:03No matter how loud she shrieked,
29:06the red light just kept frantically blinking.
29:09That's enough.
29:11You know what happens if that thing goes off.
29:14A forensics tech standing nearby finally spoke up,
29:17his voice ice cold.
29:19He honestly couldn't stomach it anymore.
29:22Stop trying.
29:24That thing isn't a lie detector, lady.
29:26He grabbed the instruction manual they'd found during the search
29:30and slammed it onto the coffee table.
29:32It's a cheap glavinic skin response and heart rate monitor.
29:35How it works is simple.
29:36When someone is nervous, anxious, terrified,
29:39or in extreme pain,
29:40their heart rate spikes.
29:42They sweat,
29:42their skin count activity jumps,
29:44and the light turns red.
29:45Right now, you are panicking.
29:47You're terrified and your heart is racing.
29:49Of course it's flashing red.
29:51The tech took a slow step toward mom,
29:54who is now slumped on the floor.
29:56Every word he spoke dropped like a sledgehammer onto her skull.
30:00Think about it.
30:01Your daughter's appendix burst.
30:03She was wringling on the floor.
30:05Do you have any idea how agonizing a ruptured organ is?
30:09How fast do you think her heart was beating?
30:11How terrified do you think she was?
30:13But to you,
30:14the more pain she was in,
30:16the faster her heart beat,
30:17and the brighter that red light got.
30:19You just assumed she was lying harder,
30:22so you cranked up the voltage.
30:23The shock caused more pain,
30:25which made her heart race faster,
30:27which made the light even brighter.
30:28She was begging you for help,
30:30and you turned it into a torture device.
30:33You tortured your own daughter to death
30:34while she was begging you to save her.
30:37Mom's entire reality
30:38shattered into a million pieces.
30:40She sat paralyzed on the floor,
30:42staring blankly at the red light flashing on her wrist.
30:46Finally, it clicked.
30:48For the last ten years,
30:50every single time,
30:52my band flashed red.
30:53It was just because I was scared,
30:56terrified of her getting mad,
30:57terrified of being misunderstood,
31:00terrified of the food she forced down my throat.
31:02I was in pain.
31:04In so much pain,
31:05my heart was racing,
31:06and I was drenched in cold sweat.
31:08I was yearning,
31:10desperate for her to hug me,
31:12just once,
31:13the way she hugged Mia.
31:15Every single flutter of my heart
31:17had been twisted into proof of a lie.
31:23She started tearing frantically at the band on her wrist.
31:27Get off me!
31:31But the clasp jammed from being forced on
31:35and damaged from melting
31:37was completely stuck,
31:40locked around her wrist like a shackle.
31:42No matter how hard she clawed at it,
31:44it wouldn't budge.
31:45I'm sorry!
31:46I'm so sorry!
31:48Lily!
31:49Take it away!
31:51Mommy is sorry!
31:52You can't even handle this little bit of pain, Mom.
31:54I had to live with it for ten years.
31:57To establish the details of the abuse
32:01and build a solid case,
32:04the police opened the diary,
32:06now officially labeled as key evidence
32:10right in front of Mom and Dad.
32:12That notebook I had used for ten years,
32:15filled with blood, tears, and pure humiliation,
32:18the female officer's voice was soft,
32:21but every single word cut like a knife.
32:25February 14th, Sunny.
32:27Mom made me eat celery.
32:29I'm allergic.
32:30It makes my throat swell up and I can't breathe.
32:33I told her I didn't want it.
32:35I didn't want it that I felt sick.
32:38I don't care if you're sick!
32:40You will eat that celery!
32:41And the band turned red.
32:43Mom said I was just being a picky liar
32:46and forced me to eat the whole plate.
32:48That night I threw up blood.
32:50My throat felt like it was on fire.
32:52Mom saw it,
32:54said I sneaked tomato juice to fake being sick
32:57and shocked me for another ten minutes.
33:00Mom covered her mouth,
33:02her entire body trembling violently.
33:05That night,
33:06she honestly thought it was just tomato juice.
33:10She hadn't even given my vomit a second glance
33:14before turning around to read Mia a bedtime story.
33:17It turned out it was blood.
33:22Blood from my swollen, ruptured throat.
33:27The officer turned the page and kept reading.
33:31June 1st, Children's Day.
33:33Mia cut up mom's favorite dress.
33:36Mia's heartbeat was slow,
33:37so she got a green light.
33:39I was so frantic to explain,
33:41terrified of being beaten,
33:43so I only got read.
33:44Mom shocked me for ten minutes.
33:46The dial was on level five.
33:48It hurt so much,
33:50but I didn't dare cry.
33:52Because crying makes your heart beat faster.
33:54Mom would think I was being defiant
33:56and shock me even harder.
33:58I just held my breath
33:59and pretended it didn't hurt.
34:01Mom said,
34:02See?
34:02She's not even making a sound.
34:05It doesn't even hurt.
34:06She's definitely faking.
34:07Dad finally couldn't listen anymore.
34:11This man,
34:12who had been completely invisible in this house for years,
34:17who had turned a blind eye to my suffering
34:20just for some peace and quiet,
34:23suddenly lunged forward.
34:27You absolute monster!
34:30Look at what you've done!
34:31She slapped mom across the face
34:33with everything he had.
34:35Mom was knocked to the floor.
34:37That was your own daughter!
34:40You treated her like an animal!
34:42But she didn't fight back,
34:45and she didn't cry.
34:47She just mumbled to herself,
34:50her eyes completely unfocused.
34:54It was Mia!
34:56Her band was always green!
34:58She was the honest one!
35:00She just misled me!
35:01If I didn't have her green light,
35:04if I didn't have her to come to,
35:05I wouldn't have trusted the red light so much!
35:08Every eye in the room snapped to Mia,
35:11the little princess,
35:13who had always been held in the palm of mom's hand.
35:17A detective walked over to her.
35:19He unclasped the green band from her wrist,
35:24pulled out a screwdriver,
35:26and pried it open right there on the spot.
35:29The plastic casing split open.
35:33There were no complex sensor chips inside,
35:36no heart rate monitors,
35:39just two cheap LED lights
35:41and a couple of button batteries.
35:43The circuit board was hardwired.
35:46As long as it had power,
35:49it would only ever shine green.
35:51This is a $2 plastic toy.
35:54Your younger daughter's band
35:55was factory set to stay green permanently.
35:58No matter what she says or does,
36:01she could commit murder
36:01and set a house on fire
36:03and it would still be green.
36:04Your so-called data-driven parenting
36:06is nothing but a complete biased joke.
36:09Mom stared at the pile of plastic shards.
36:13The truth she had blindly believed in
36:18for ten years.
36:20The sole evidence she used
36:21to sentence me to death.
36:24It was just a toy all along.
36:27My ten years of torment
36:30were dictated by a cheap toy.
36:33A rig game where I lived in hell
36:36and my sister lived in heaven.
36:40So, I wasn't a liar.
36:44I wasn't a bad kid.
36:46Then, what the hell was all my suffering for?
36:50I laughed.
36:51And as I laughed, I started to cry.
36:54It turns out ghosts have tears, too.
36:58The final page of the diary was turned.
37:02The female officer's voice choked up.
37:05The handwriting is a mess.
37:07She must have written this right before she died.
37:11Mom, if I die,
37:13will the band finally turn off?
37:15Will you hug me then?
37:17I'm really not lying.
37:18My stomach hurts so bad,
37:20like there are knives twisting inside.
37:22Mom,
37:23please don't make me wear the band
37:25in my next life.
37:26I'm begging you.
37:27I just want to be a normal kid.
37:29I want to eat your braised pork.
37:32Mom stared at the broken plastic pieces.
37:36Her unquestionable, honest, green light.
37:42Nothing more than a cheap, plastic toy.
37:45Because of this toy,
37:48she spoiled Mia for ten years.
37:51And because of that damn red light,
37:55she tortured me for ten years.
37:57Mom suddenly burst into laughter.
38:01A shrill, horrifying laugh
38:03that looked worse than sobbing.
38:06She snapped.
38:07This time,
38:09she truly went insane.
38:11My death became the biggest news story in the city.
38:15Martha, our neighbor,
38:17was kind-hearted,
38:19but she also had a huge mouth.
38:22She posted everything she saw that day online.
38:27The headline was shocking.
38:29The girl shocked to death
38:31by a pseudoscience band.
38:33The article detailed
38:35the gruesome state of my corpse
38:37and the band melted right into my flesh.
38:41It went completely viral.
38:43The internet exploded in absolute fury.
38:48Mom got completely doxxed.
38:50Electric demon murderer
38:53doesn't deserve to be a mother.
38:57Countless death threats and insults
39:00flooded in like an avalanche.
39:02Our front door
39:04was splashed with red paint
39:07with the word die scrawled all over it.
39:11Dad was also taken in by the police,
39:13investigated for criminal negligence
39:16and child endangerment.
39:18Although his alibi saved him
39:19from serious jail time,
39:21he lost his job
39:23and his reputation was completely ruined.
39:25His company fired him immediately
39:27to avoid the PR nightmare.
39:30Our family went bankrupt.
39:32They had to sell the house
39:34and the cars
39:35just to cover the legal fees
39:39and settlements.
39:40Unable to stand the crazy woman
39:42Mom had become,
39:43Dad took the last bit of money
39:45and left with Mia.
39:46Even if Mia was a bad seed,
39:49she was his only living bloodline left.
39:53Before leaving,
39:54Mia tried to grab her green band.
39:57Dad stomped it into pieces.
39:59What the hell do you want
40:00this piece of trash for?
40:02Mia was dragged away, crying.
40:06Mom was released on bail
40:08because psychiatric evaluations
40:11showed she was suffering
40:13from severe schizophrenia and PTSD.
40:16She was left alone
40:17in a cheap, stinking rental apartment
40:20filled with the memory
40:22of my rotting corpse.
40:24Her mental state deteriorated rapidly.
40:26She constantly hallucinated
40:30that I was still in the house.
40:33She absolutely refused
40:35to take off my red band.
40:37In fact, she became addicted to it
40:39because she realized
40:40that only by wearing it,
40:43feeling the weak sting
40:44of the electric leaks,
40:46I floated in the room
40:48watching her daily descent
40:50into madness.
40:50She would cook a full table of food
40:56and yell into thin air.
40:58Lily, time to eat.
40:59I didn't put celery in it today.
41:02It's all braised pork.
41:03Your favorite.
41:04Then she would pick up a piece of meat,
41:07her hands shaking violently.
41:09Triggered by her anxiety,
41:11the band would flash red.
41:13Mommy doesn't deserve to eat.
41:15Liars must be punished.
41:16She would put down her chopsticks
41:19and pick up the remote
41:21and press it against her own neck.
41:25Even though the battery was almost dead,
41:28she always managed to find
41:30fresh ones to put in.
41:32The intense voltage would make her
41:35convulse and foam at the mouth.
41:38Lily, in this much pain.
41:41I'm sorry.
41:44Mommy feels it now.
41:47She started replicating the punishments
41:50from my diary on herself.
41:52I was shocked for not eating celery,
41:54so she forced herself to eat
41:57rancid, spoiled food.
42:00Even when she vomited blood,
42:02she swallowed it back down.
42:04I was locked in the dark,
42:05so she would lock herself in the bedroom
42:09without the lights on.
42:10repeatedly bang her head on the floor
42:13in front of my memorial photo.
42:16Thud, thud,
42:17until her forehead was a bloody mess,
42:20leaving bloody prints
42:22all over the floorboards.
42:24Deep in the night,
42:25she would see the red light
42:27reflecting on the wall,
42:28like my bleeding eyes
42:30staring right back at her.
42:31On the back of the diary,
42:34she would frantically scribble in red ink.
42:37I'm sorry.
42:38Mom was wrong.
42:39Red is pain.
42:41Red is love.
42:42Please come back.
42:43Just say it hurts one more time.
42:46Mommy will definitely save you.
42:48What a shame.
42:49I was already dead.
42:51And dead girls can't feel pain.
42:54Mom was eventually locked up
42:56in a psychiatric ward.
42:58Her severe self-harm reached the point
43:00where she nearly electrocuted herself
43:02to death at home.
43:03Adult Protective Services forced an intervention
43:07and had her committed.
43:09She was the most bizarre patient
43:12in the entire facility.
43:15Somehow, she had found a red plastic ring
43:19and jammed it tight around her neck.
43:22It was her homemade truth band.
43:25If anyone tried to take it off,
43:28she would bite them frantically
43:30like a rabid dog.
43:32Don't touch my light!
43:33Lily is watching!
43:34If you take it off, she'll get mad.
43:36She had developed a horrifying conditioned reflex.
43:42Whenever a nurse asked her,
43:44Evelyn, have you eaten?
43:46She would touch her neck first,
43:48then convulse and scream.
43:51Red light!
43:52Red light!
43:53Don't shock me!
43:54I'll eat!
43:55I'll eat!
43:56Even if it was boiling hot porridge,
43:58she would swallow it in one gulp.
44:01Even as it blistered and burned her esophagus,
44:05she didn't dare spit it out.
44:07She was mimicking me right before I died.
44:13She was using this to experience my personal hell
44:17over and over again.
44:19Years later, Mia grew up
44:23and she went completely off the rails.
44:27With no discipline and carrying that infamous reputation,
44:32she ended up scraping by at the very bottom of society.
44:38When she ran out of money,
44:40she remembered her mother sitting in the psych ward.
44:43She came to the hospital for a visit,
44:47not out of love, but for cash.
44:50Listen, you old lunatic.
44:52Dad's dead.
44:53Give me the secret stash of money you hid.
44:55Mia was caked in heavy makeup,
44:58her face dripping with hostility.
45:00Looking at the absolute ghost her mother had become,
45:04she spat on the floor in disgust.
45:08You're disgusting.
45:10Just like your dead brat of a daughter.
45:13If you don't give me the money,
45:15I'll pull your plug and send you to keep her company.
45:18Mom, who had been completely catatonic,
45:21suddenly snapped her head up at those words.
45:23Her cloudy eyes suddenly cleared for a fraction of a second
45:27the moment she locked onto Mia.
45:29She remembered that plastic toy band
45:32that always shone green,
45:35the green light that had deceived her for ten years.
45:39It was you.
45:41You lied to me.
45:43You were the fake green light.
45:45You killed Lily.
45:47Give my Lily back to me.
45:49Her final, lingering shred of maternal love
45:53twisted into the fangs of pure vengeance.
45:57Mom suddenly lunged,
46:00throwing herself at Mia
46:01and locked her hands
46:04in a death grip around her throat.
46:08Die!
46:09Go to hell!
46:10It should have been you!
46:12Help!
46:13Mia thrashed in terror,
46:15but she couldn't break the brute strength of a mad woman.
46:19It took doctors rushing in
46:21and injecting a heavy sedative
46:22to finally pry mom off her.
46:25Mia,
46:26scared completely out of her mind,
46:29scrambled away and bolted.
46:32Maniacs!
46:33You're all crazy!
46:34Blinded by panic,
46:36she sprinted wildly
46:38out the hospital's front doors.
46:40A speeding delivery truck
46:42couldn't break in time.
46:44Bam!
46:45Mia was sent
46:46flying through the air.
46:49She survived,
46:50but both her legs
46:53were completely shattered.
46:55Condemned to
46:56spend the rest of her miserable life
46:59in a wheelchair.
47:00Reduced to
47:01an absolute
47:03cripple.
47:05As for mom,
47:07she was strapped to
47:09a restraint bed,
47:10tears silently rolling down her face
47:13as she stared at the ceiling.
47:15In her dreams,
47:17she finally saw me.
47:18The dream me was still
47:20ten years old,
47:22wearing a white dress
47:23with no truth band on my wrist.
47:26Running toward her
47:27with a bright smile,
47:29overjoyed,
47:30she opened her arms
47:32to catch me,
47:33only to realize
47:34her hands were
47:35sparking with electricity.
47:37The second she touched me,
47:39my body burst into flames
47:41like dry paper.
47:43Crumbling into ash,
47:46she jolted awake
47:47from the nightmare,
47:48sobbing,
47:49her heart rate
47:50spiking dangerously high.
47:52If she still wore the band,
47:54it would undoubtedly be
47:55a blinding,
47:56piercing crimson right now.
47:58It was
48:00an eternal,
48:01inescapable pain.
48:03I stood in the void,
48:05I stood in the void,
48:06watching it all unfold.
48:08Watching mom tortured in the psych ward,
48:11watching Mia begging with shattered legs,
48:14watching dad drink himself into an early,
48:18pathetic grave.
48:20Yet, in my heart,
48:22I felt absolutely no thrill of revenge,
48:27just complete peace.
48:29standing next to me,
48:32was an old dog.
48:34It was Snowball,
48:36the puppy I had when I was little,
48:38before mom threw him away.
48:40He had been waiting for me in the spirit world.
48:44Snowball nudged my leg,
48:46and gave two soft barks,
48:48as if saying,
48:50let's go,
48:51don't look anymore.
48:52Yeah,
48:53it was time to go.
48:56This life had been too bitter,
48:58there was nothing left to hold on to.
49:00I floated to the window,
49:02of mom's hospital room.
49:05It was for one final goodbye.
49:08Mom lay on the bed,
49:10looking like a skeletal ghost,
49:12her hair completely white.
49:14Sensing something,
49:16her cloudy eyes,
49:18shifted to an empty spot in the air.
49:20The exact spot where I was standing.
49:24Lily?
49:25Is that you?
49:27She reached out with a trembling hand,
49:30grasping blindly at the void.
49:33Mommy smashed the band.
49:35Mommy doesn't believe in that anymore.
49:38Please come back, okay?
49:40Mommy will cook for you.
49:42No celery.
49:44Mommy will buy you a new dress.
49:46I won't buy Mia one.
49:48Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes,
49:51soaking into the pillow.
49:53I glanced at the bloody ring of scars around her neck,
49:57and let out a soft sigh.
50:00I reached out,
50:02pressing an ice-cold finger against her forehead.
50:06It was the last ounce of mercy I had for her.
50:12Let her sleep.
50:13When you're asleep,
50:15it doesn't hurt anymore.
50:17She quieted instantly,
50:20her heavy eyelids drooping shut
50:22as she fell into a deep sleep.
50:25A gust of wind blew through the room,
50:29flipping open the battered diary on the bedside table.
50:33The one possession the police had returned to her.
50:36On the very last page,
50:39right below my dying words,
50:41were a few new lines of jagged handwriting,
50:46written by Mom during a rare moment of clarity.
50:50Next life, let Mommy wear the band.
50:53Let Mommy be the liar.
50:55You can punish me.
50:57As long as you don't abandon Mommy,
51:00Mommy will do anything.
51:01I looked at those words,
51:03feeling absolutely nothing.
51:06It was too late.
51:08In the face of death,
51:10all the repentance in the world is pale and useless.
51:13Mom, I don't hate you anymore,
51:17but I don't love you either.
51:19Ma, let's end where me stirs at Everest.
51:22I turned around,
51:24walking alongside Snowball.
51:26A door of pure light appeared in the distance.
51:31The gateway to the next reincarnation.
51:35I raised my wrist.
51:37The phantom truth band that had bound my soul,
51:41the nightmare that had imprisoned my entire life.
51:44I clenched my fists tight.
51:47It shattered,
51:49dissolving into stardust
51:52and vanishing into the air.
51:54I felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
51:58No red lights.
52:00No shocks.
52:01No lies.
52:03Just freedom.
52:05I walked into the light
52:07without ever looking back.
52:12The morning sun spilled into the hospital room.
52:16A nurse pushed the door open for morning rounds.
52:21Evelyn, time for your meds.
52:23No response.
52:25The figure on the bed was completely still.
52:28The nurse stepped closer to check.
52:31Mom's hands were tightly clutching that broken diary.
52:35A single crystalline tear
52:39hung at the corner of her eye.
52:42And on the heart monitor next to the bed,
52:47that jagged green wave representing life
52:52had flattened into one long straight line.
52:58The nurse said to the nurse said to the nurse said to the nurse,
