Short filmTranscript
00:00It was not until the day I gave birth to the child that he broke my legs, threw me into
00:05the deep sea, and left the fish and shrimp to eat my internal organs.
00:10You lured the pirates here and killed her just to be jealous and compete for favor.
00:15Since you are so keen competing with her for favor, then I will make you die in the exact same
00:19way as her!
00:21In my previous life, when the pirates launched a sneak attack, my husband, a Navy lieutenant, took all the men
00:28out to sea to celebrate Selena's birthday.
00:31I, who was pregnant, crawled out through the sewer to find him and brought all the men back to save
00:37the islanders.
00:38But his favorite mistress was caught by the pirates, who slipped through the net, humiliated, and died a tragic death.
00:45After my husband killed the pirates, he didn't say a single word.
00:48When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day the pirates attacked.
00:54This time, if he still wants to protect his mistress, then let him be.
00:59When I was reborn, I watched the pirates speeding toward the shore on speedboats.
01:05A violent shiver ran through my body, and I pulled the alarm without a single second of hesitation.
01:11It blared across the entire island, but the only cruise ship on the island was gone.
01:17My best friend stumbled and threw herself in front of me, her voice cracking with tears.
01:22Baby and the pirates are attacking!
01:24Where have all the men gone?
01:25The cruise ship has gone too!
01:26What are we going to do?
01:31Before I could answer, the other women and children crowded around us.
01:35Dozens of helpless, terrified eyes locked onto me.
01:39As the only one who knew what was coming, I had to tell them the truth.
01:44James had taken every last man, every weapon we had, and sailed the cruise ship to the open sea to
01:51celebrate Selina's birthday.
01:52My mother-in-law snarled, shaking with rage.
01:55Has he lost his mind?
01:56He knows pirates can siege Coral Island at any time, and he dare to take every single Navy man with
02:02him?
02:02That homewrecker Selina!
02:04I always said she was no good!
02:06Parading around all weak and innocent, leading men on, and now look what's happened!
02:11She's going to get us all killed!
02:12Her breakdown flipped a switch, and the women erupted into chaos all at once.
02:17They screamed curses at Selina, calling her shameless, raging about how she'd lured all their men away.
02:25As they spoke, the pirate speedboat drew near the shore.
02:28Panic exploded through the crowd.
02:30I fought to take control, yelling over the noise to tell them to stay calm, that everyone needed to take
02:36cover in the tunnels.
02:37Our island is far from the mainland, and we've long faced pirate raids.
02:42To protect ourselves, we built these tunnels to hide from attackers.
02:46The cramped tunnels were packed with women and children.
02:50All of us could hear the pirates leering laughs as they hunted for women across the island.
02:55Terror seeped into every single one of us.
02:59To save everyone, there's only one risky way out.
03:02We have to crawl through the sewer, then take the speedboat to call for backup.
03:06My mother grabbed my hand tightly.
03:08Vivian, you can drive a boat.
03:10Climb out to find James, and bring him and the men back to save us.
03:19I'm afraid James will refuse to come back with me, even if I beg him.
03:23Silence fell over the crowd instantly.
03:26Three months ago, Selina was rescued to this island by James.
03:30Ever since then, James has clung to her day and night.
03:33Under the pretense of taking care of her, they were inseparable.
03:36They went fishing together, trained side by side every single day.
03:42Island residents whispered behind their backs, saying James and Selina were meant to be a couple.
03:48James grew even more affectionate with her amid the gossip.
03:51Instead of keeping his distance, I've quarreled with him countless times,
03:55screaming to ask who his true wife was.
03:58But he turned a blind eye to my pain, only calling me petty and jealous.
04:02You're just jealous of Selina.
04:04Ever since Selina arrived on the island, our love had completely vanished.
04:09Just as everyone was trapped in despair, my sister-in-law stepped forward bravely.
04:14Let me handle this.
04:15I'm on good terms with all the Navy folks.
04:17What's more Vivian's expecting?
04:19I couldn't face my brother if anything bad happened.
04:21With that, she jumped into the sewer without delay.
04:24She crawled through the cold, dirty, damp pipes, heading for the outside world.
04:31We huddled and cowered in the tunnel, silently praying we would never be discovered.
04:36But the pirates still found the tunnel entrance.
04:39There's an iron door here!
04:42I bet all the women are hiding inside!
04:45I knew it!
04:46There's no way!
04:47A huge island like this has not a single woman!
04:51I've been drifting at sea for months on end!
04:54I won't hold back this time!
04:56Driven by twisted desire for the women inside,
04:59the pirates began smashing and bashing the iron door frantically.
05:04Loud, heavy banging echoed non-stop.
05:07Every woman turned deathly pale, overcome with terror.
05:11They could only beg for the men to hurry back and rescue them.
05:15Half an hour later, Lily crawled out of the sewer, covered in filth.
05:19The crowd cheered at the sight of her,
05:21certain she'd brought the men back for help, yet their joy faded fast.
05:26She hung her head and wiped her tears, heartbroken.
05:30I'm sorry they refused to come back with me.
05:34My mother asked in a panic.
05:47Sobbing harder, Lily bit her trembling lip and spoke.
05:50My brother called me a liar.
05:51He said pirates would never attack Coral Island.
05:54He accused me of lying alongside Vivian to trick him and slapped me across the face.
06:02Spotting the clear handprint on her cheek, everyone blamed Selina for being a seductress.
06:08Selina's such a homewrecker.
06:09She'll get what's coming to her.
06:12James skipped out on his duty.
06:13He actually disregarded the safety of everyone just for the sake of a woman.
06:17The pirates had started using bombs to break through.
06:20In that instant, a deafening explosion boomed.
06:24The rusted iron door of the tunnel would only hold for one more hour at most.
06:30Don't panic, everyone.
06:32Calm down.
06:35The nearest Starshark Island is just 20 minutes away.
06:39I'll go get reinforcement right now.
06:41The old mother-in-law grabbed my arm.
06:43Her rough, calloused palms were soaked in cold sweat.
06:47Vivian, the safety of all the women and children depends on you.
06:50You must bring the reinforcements back.
06:53I nodded gently.
06:54Bearing my pregnancy bump and enduring the stench,
06:56I crawled laboriously out of the sewer to the ground.
06:59I hopped onto a spare speedboat and raced straight toward the nearest Starshark Island.
07:05When my speedboat rushed onto the beach of Starshark Island,
07:08I spotted several armed men already waiting there.
07:12The moment I recognized the leading man, my eyes lit up with hope.
07:16It was Mike, the Navy's second lieutenant.
07:20Didn't James take him out to sea?
07:22Why is he here?
07:23I had no time to wonder.
07:25I stumbled toward him, about to explain the pirate ambush.
07:29His gaze toward me was filled with disgust.
07:32He suddenly yanked me forward sharply.
07:34Vivian, how could you be such a repulsive woman?
07:39I stared at him blankly, confused by his words.
07:42The lieutenant specifically told me to wait for you here.
07:45He said you're consumed by jealousy, plotting with Lily.
07:49You'd go to other islands to spread lies.
07:51All just to ruin Selina's birthday ceremony.
07:53Hearing Mike's words, I trembled with rage.
07:56How cruel James could be.
07:58Just to stop me from fetching help, he actually sent men to block my only path.
08:03The pirates are already attacking Coral Island.
08:07I'm not to spread rumors.
08:09I've come to get reinforcements.
08:11If no one comes to drive the pirates away, within an hour, everyone will die.
08:17Perhaps seeing my overly serious expression, a flicker of hesitation crossed his eyes.
08:22After all, his wife, children, and mother were all left behind on the island too.
08:27When Mike was about to contact James on the walkie-talkie, one of his men leaned in and
08:32whispered,
08:33If there really was a pirate raid, how would the lieutenant not know about it?
08:37His face showed blind, unwavering trust.
08:41James was a former soldier, blessed with sharp battlefield instinct and great leadership.
08:46He had led the islanders to fend off pirate attacks dozens of times.
08:51After barely a second of silence, Mike burst into mocking laughter.
08:54Vivian, you're quite the actress.
08:56You almost had me fooled.
08:57I know exactly what kind of man the lieutenant is.
09:00He's highly responsible and the leader of our navy.
09:03There's no way he'd lack such basic vigilance.
09:06His mocking words pierced my heart like a knife, tears welling up in my eyes.
09:11Every second wasted put the women in greater danger.
09:15I tried to rush toward the island recklessly, but Mike stepped forward and pinned me down
09:19in an instant.
09:20He then took out a rope and tied me up.
09:23With a cold expression,
09:25As long as I'm here, you're not going anywhere.
09:29Mike bound me tightly and tossed me straight onto the speedboat.
09:33Sitting on the speeding boat, I watched Starshark Island drift further away.
09:38I closed my eyes in utter despair.
09:41On the cruiser anchored in open water, the marines crowded around the deck and lit a fire.
09:46They sang Selena Happy Birthday.
09:49Wearing a glamorous gown, she danced with James right in the middle of the singing.
09:54I stared at the man who in my past life had me killed for his true love.
09:58A fire of pure hatred spread through my chest.
10:02The pirates were about to break through the bunker's steel door, and he was still here,
10:07dancing with the woman he loved.
10:09The moment they noticed me, they stopped.
10:12Selena walked up to me first.
10:15Vivian, this is all my fault.
10:17If it weren't my birthday today, you wouldn't have to run around spreading lies about pirates.
10:22As she spoke, she kept leaning against James' chest, but when she looked at me, a tiny mocking
10:29smile curled at the corner of her mouth.
10:31James gently stroked her hair.
10:33Baby, what did you do wrong?
10:35You're just innocent and sweet.
10:38Then he looked at me with utter disgust.
10:40She's the problem.
10:42She's so blinded by jealousy, she can't stand it.
10:44Just to fight for my attention, she'd actually play games with everyone's lives.
10:49I was too terrified for the people back on the island to even care about their mockery.
10:54I took a deep breath.
10:55I looked straight at him.
10:57The steel door on Coral Island won't hold much longer.
11:00If the pirates break into that bunker, every wife and child on that island will be dragged
11:05out and violated.
11:06But the only answer I got was a brutal slap across the face.
11:12Vivian, let me make this very clear.
11:14The more you pull stunts like this, the more I absolutely hate you.
11:18I struggled.
11:19But no matter how hard I fought the ropes, I could not break free.
11:23I was so desperate I was sobbing.
11:25If he refused to go back, fine.
11:27But why stop me from getting help from the neighboring islands?
11:30Any later, and it really would be a massacre!
11:34I begged him over and over, but James did not untie me.
11:38To punish you for lying, I will tie you up all night.
11:42He only said coldly, then he wrapped an arm around Selena's slim waist and walked back
11:47to the fire.
11:47Right in the middle of everyone singing, the two of them started dancing again.
11:52Tears streamed down my face.
11:54I watched them completely waste the last chance to save our people.
11:58It was over.
11:59Selena's birthday party went on until dawn.
12:02Only then did everyone finally stop celebrating.
12:06They fired up the cruiser and headed back to the dock.
12:08On the way back, they were still laughing and joking around.
12:11But when the ship pulled in, the only thing waiting for them was a landscape of smoking ruins and
12:17half-naked bodies scattered everywhere.
12:20The entire island was eerily silent.
12:23The bunker reeked of iron and rot.
12:26I stood at the threshold, my fingers white as I gripped the doorframe, tears streaming down
12:31my face.
12:31This shelter was supposed to be filled with women, children, and the elderly.
12:36Now, it was nothing but a graveyard of severed limbs.
12:39Everything was over.
12:41Mike stepped into a pool of blood that hadn't even dried yet.
12:45A severed finger was floating in it.
12:47There was an old-fashioned thimble still on it.
12:50He recognized it instantly.
12:52His mother always used that thimble when she sewed.
12:55How could this happen?
12:58When he knelt to pick up the blood-stained thimble, his knees slammed into the concrete.
13:02He collapsed right there, sobbing.
13:05His voice shook so hard it barely sounded human.
13:08One of the younger men fell to his knees, too.
13:11His trembling hand picked up a tiny hair clip.
13:14It was his little sister's pink strawberry barrette.
13:17She wore it every single day.
13:19He clenched it in his fist and pressed it to his forehead.
13:22His shoulders shook violently.
13:25It's my fault.
13:26I shouldn't have left you.
13:28I shouldn't have left you.
13:30Regret spread through the bunker like a plague.
13:33Some men punched the walls.
13:35Some collapsed to the floor, staring into nothing as they repeated their family members' names.
13:40Others clung to each other and wailed.
13:42Their tears mixed with the blood on their faces under the flickering lights.
13:46I leaned against the wall and slowly slid down.
13:50My chest hurt so badly I could barely breathe.
13:53Something warm landed on the back of my hand.
13:56Only then did I realize I was crying so hard I couldn't stop.
14:00Looking at the horror in front of us, Selina choked out a sob.
14:04Tears streamed down her face.
14:06She looked like she was too devastated to go on.
14:10How could the pirates attack Coral Island today?
14:13Did they know it was my birthday too?
14:16She added it softly, just loud enough for everyone to hear.
14:20That sentence hit the room like gasoline on an open flame.
14:24James snapped his head up and glared at me.
14:27You knew the pirates were coming, didn't you?
14:29You chose today on purpose, all because you were jealous.
14:32You've been targeting Selina since the day she got here.
14:36And now, just to frame her, you were willing to sacrifice everyone?
14:41I stared at his twisted face and suddenly felt something close to absurdity.
14:45To protect Selina, he was actually pinning a massacre on me.
14:49Then a slap cracked across my face.
14:51Pain exploded through my skin.
14:53I stumbled backwards and slammed into a metal locker.
14:56The taste of iron filled my mouth.
14:58Mike grabbed my collar.
14:59His eyes were bloodshed.
15:00Was it you, you bitch?
15:02Did you lure the pirates here just to get back at the lieutenant?
15:05My vision blurred with tears.
15:07I shook my head.
15:08Then he threw me to the ground.
15:09His knee crushed into my stomach.
15:11The back of my head slammed against the concrete.
15:14Everything went black for a second.
15:17Do you even know what you're doing?
15:18How many times has Vivian tutored our kids?
15:21Last time the pirates came, who carried the wounded for miles?
15:24You don't get it.
15:25She brought them here.
15:26Otherwise, why is she the only one left alive?
15:28My mom.
15:29My wife.
15:30My child.
15:31How could you do this?
15:32More and more people chose to believe him.
15:35The crowd slowly closed in around me.
15:37Every pair of bloodshot eyes was filled with pure paint.
15:40They kept coming closer.
15:42I shrank back on instinct, wrapping both arms around my stomach.
15:46Right when I thought I was about to die, James stepped through the crowd and stood in front of me
15:49again.
15:50James came walking in from behind the crowd.
15:53The Marines automatically stepped aside for him.
15:55He was wearing a crisp new outfit.
15:57Even his boots were polished spotless.
15:59He looked completely different from everyone else covered in blood and filth.
16:03I was curled up in the corner against the wall.
16:06My fingers twisted helplessly in my clothes.
16:08My knuckles had gone white.
16:10The baby inside me seemed to sense the danger.
16:14A small kick pressed against my stomach.
16:16James crouched down in front of me and brushed the messy hair off my forehead.
16:23Vivian.
16:23He sighed my name.
16:25His fingers touched my swollen cheek.
16:27Does it hurt?
16:28His breath was warm against my ear, but every word out of his mouth was poison.
16:33Even if you are my wife, you killed all these people.
16:36I can't let you live.
16:38He was here to condemn me himself.
16:40Once he pinned the blame on me for luring the pirates here and killing everyone's wives and children,
16:45they could execute me openly.
16:47And just like that, no one would blame him anymore for taking all the marines away and leaving the island
16:54defenseless.
16:55When James' boots slammed into my stomach, I heard something inside me break.
17:00I curled up on the ground.
17:02My nails scraped into the cracks in the concrete.
17:05Warm blood poured down between my legs.
17:08My shaking hand went to my stomach.
17:10The place that had once curved gently with life was now terrifyingly flat.
17:15Five months.
17:17Seventeen tiny kicks.
17:19All those nights I whispered to the ultrasound photo in the dark.
17:22All of it turned to blood under one kick.
17:25Selina still stood there, adding fuel to the fire.
17:27Vivian, you went too far.
17:29James and I got a little close, but you've always been the one he couldn't get over.
17:34You should never have made a joke like this in such a cruel way.
17:37She blinked, and one perfect tear rolled down her face.
17:41Just as James lifted a hand to order the marines to deal with me.
17:47Stop!
17:49A familiar voice rang out and everyone turned.
17:53Lily was walking toward us with a huge group of children behind her.
17:56Through Lily they learned the truth.
17:58To protect the children, Evelyn and all the women chose to fight the pirates to the death.
18:03They used their own lives to carve out a blood-soaked path of survival for Lily and the kids.
18:09The marines rushed forward frantic, grabbing their children into their arms.
18:14The children survived, but the mothers and grandmothers who died were never coming back.
18:19James went pale.
18:20His lips trembled, but he could not say a word.
18:24We didn't die!
18:25Lily turned to the marines and pointed straight at her brother.
18:29Her eyes burned with hatred.
18:31If you hadn't taken all the marines away, none of this would have happened!
18:34You and Selena killed everyone!
18:39Mike stared at James with bloodshot eyes.
18:42Lieutenant, didn't you say Lily was just being jealous?
18:46Didn't you say she was making it all up?
18:48Didn't you say we were supposed to ignore her and focus on Selena's birthday?
18:52Why is my mother dead?
18:55Why is my wife gone?
18:57The marines who had lost their families started walking toward James, step by step.
19:02James' face turned white as paper.
19:05I looked at the blood all over the ground and tears slid down my face.
19:10I had been reborn.
19:11I changed my own fate, but I still could not save everyone.
19:16The furious men charged James and Selena all at once.
19:21Their screams came one after another, louder and louder without end.
19:26I should have felt satisfied, but all I felt was sorrow and bitterness.
19:30The next second, I blacked out.
19:33When I opened my eyes again, the sharp smell of disinfectant hit my nose.
19:37Outside the window, I could hear buildings collapsing now and then, and each crash sent dust rising into the air.
19:45I leaned against a hospital bed that felt like it might fall apart any second.
19:49The metal frame creaked under the weight.
19:52The wound in my abdomen throbbed faintly, and the flatness beneath the bandages reminded me that the life inside me
19:59was gone forever.
20:01Mike was kneeling ramrod straight on the floor.
20:04His forehead pressed against the cold dirt.
20:07The second he heard me move, he jerked his head up.
20:10The man who once looked so vicious was now covered in tears and snot.
20:14He slammed his head into the ground.
20:18I'm not even human.
20:20I'm sorry, Vivian.
20:24Your face is so pale.
20:26Lily waved her hand in front of my face and draped her tattered parka over me.
20:31I came back to myself, realizing my nails had already dug deep into my palm.
20:36Outside, the wet sea wind blew in through the window with a metallic smell.
20:41For one sickening second, it blended with the blood-soaked memory of the concrete floor.
20:47Mike was still apologizing.
20:48I'm sorry for you.
20:49I really deserve to die.
20:51That's enough.
20:53I lifted a weak hand to stop him.
20:57You were trying to protect everyone, too.
21:00Before I could finish, Lily smacked the back of his head.
21:04Oh, now you know how to apologize?
21:06You were real tough when you were backhanding her, weren't you?
21:10Mike did not dodge.
21:11Instead, he grabbed my hand and slapped it against his own face.
21:14His cheekbone hit my knuckles so hard it hurt.
21:18Something hot ran down through our fingers.
21:20I could not tell if it was his tears or the blood from my palm.
21:23I deserved to die.
21:25I was blind.
21:27I…
21:27I knew the moment my baby turned into a pool of blood on that floor would scar him for
21:32the rest of his life, but I was still drowning in the pain of losing my child.
21:38At that moment, I had no comfort left to give.
21:41I sat there for a long time before I finally spoke.
21:46Mike, can you do me a favor?
21:48I want James and Selina dead.
21:51He looked up at me with blood-red eyes and nodded without hesitation.
21:55I'm in.
21:56Lily was the first to jump up.
21:58That kind of heartless animal still thinks he deserves to be the lieutenant?
22:02How is anyone supposed to trust him with their lives?
22:05Mike stood up in silence and pulled out a blood-stained tactical knife.
22:08It had been James' birthday gift to him.
22:11He dropped it to the floor and crushed it under his boot until it snapped.
22:14Leave it to me.
22:15That day, the Marines did not kill James and Selina.
22:18They beat them half to death first.
22:20After that, they locked them up.
22:22Even without me saying a word, they had already decided the two of them would die brutally.
22:28Mike led a group of Marines in, dragging the filthy, broken pair forward with ropes.
22:33Then they threw them into the pit where the island kept its wild animals.
22:38Mike!
22:39Vivian!
22:40You can't do this to me!
22:41I saved your lives before!
22:43If it weren't for me, you all would have died in the very first pirate raid!
22:48I'm your savior!
22:49James screamed like a madman.
22:52He did not want to die.
22:53He wanted to use that old debt to force everyone into sparing him.
22:58Selina was a sobbing mess, tears streaming down her face.
23:02Vivian, I know I was wrong!
23:04I shouldn't have fought you over a man!
23:06I'll give James back to you!
23:08Please let me go!
23:09I don't want to die!
23:10Please!
23:11You didn't want to die?
23:13Did the others want to die?
23:15I listened to both of them beg.
23:17My face stayed cold and felt nothing.
23:20When no one spoke up for him, humiliation flashed across James' face, but it quickly twisted
23:26into something uglier.
23:27Then he turned to Lily.
23:28Lily!
23:29I'm your brother!
23:31Didn't dad tell you before he died to listen to me?
23:33So now you're turning against your own family?
23:36Lily suddenly laughed.
23:38Listen to you?
23:39She pulled something from her tactical pouch and threw it in his face.
23:43It was our mother's pocket watch.
23:45Inside the cracked glass was a yellowed note, Lily.
23:49Be like Vivian.
23:50Never be like your brother.
23:52James recoiled like he had been burned.
23:54By then the crowd had already closed in.
23:57The old marines who had once supported him the most were now looking at him with nothing
24:01but icy disappointment.
24:02What do you mean turning against family?
24:05You really have no idea how much Vivi did for us, do you?
24:08Lily's voice shook.
24:10Then at least remember this.
24:11Last month when the pirates attacked, Vivi was pregnant and still held the south gate
24:15with everyone else.
24:16And where was your Selena?
24:18Every time happened, she touring got a bank.
24:20She always hid in the safest place and never came out.
24:23Lily hurled a bloodstained phone.
24:25The screen cracked on impact, but the footage still played.
24:27Late at night in the clinic, I was asleep at the desk.
24:30Surrounded by anti-radiation medicine, I had stayed up all night preparing.
24:34In a storm, I was reinforcing the eastern wall alone, drenched to the bone.
24:39When food ran short, I secretly slipped my own share into an orphan's backpack.
24:45James went pale.
24:46His lips trembled, but no words came out.
24:48No one listened to their begging.
24:50The marines shoved both of them straight into the cage.
24:53The second the wild animals saw living people, they exploded with terrifying energy.
24:59They lunged.
25:00Selena screamed, but she could do nothing.
25:02A tiger knocked her to the ground.
25:06His expression changed instantly.
25:08He tried to run, but a wild wolf lunged at him and sank its teeth into his calf.
25:13His skin started turning gray right in front of our eyes.
25:18Help. Help me.
25:20For the child's sake.
25:21James dropped to his knees and crawled toward me.
25:24His eyes were already clouding over.
25:27My finger trembled on the trigger.
25:29For a split second, I saw that night in the delivery room from my last life again.
25:34His twisted face in the middle of the chaos as he demanded that I pay with my life.
25:39James crawled closer.
25:41The flesh on his lower leg had already been torn open to the bone.
25:45His cloudy eyes widened in terror.
25:48A broken rasp came out of his throat.
25:50His ruined hand dragged across the ground, leaving a long streak of blood.
25:55Vivian, save me.
26:00The barrel of my gun lowered with his body.
26:03The gunshot shook rust loose from the ceiling.
26:05A hole blossomed in the center of James' forehead.
26:08And the final look frozen on his face was not fear.
26:11It was relief.
26:15Selina didn't even last long enough for me to pull the trigger.
26:18The wolf had already torn through her carotid artery.
26:21Her perfectly curled hair was soaked in blood.
26:24One of her pearl earrings rolled to my feet.
26:27After both of them were torn apart by the beasts, the Marines still weren't satisfied.
26:31They stormed into the holding pit.
26:34Gunfire rained down as they emptied every last bullet into the bodies.
26:39Her polished fingers were still clutching James' arm.
26:42Her nails were dug deep into the shredded flesh of his skin.
26:46Mike kicked Selina's twisted corpse aside and held out a gas can to me.
26:52You want to light it yourself?
26:54I took the can.
26:55The cold metal against my hand made me think of the hospital hallway floor that night in my last life.
27:01When James dragged me away from the delivery room.
27:04The second the flames shot up, the heat sent a rag doll flying from the corner.
27:08I had sewn it in secret from an old military uniform.
27:12It was supposed to be my baby's gift.
27:14Now the way it burned mimicked the little life that never got the chance to grow.
27:19The fire rose higher.
27:20The heat twisted the air.
27:22I stood there and watched the bodies burn.
27:25But I felt no warmth.
27:27That was when I understood.
27:29Revenge wasn't sweet.
27:30It was scorching ash.
27:32It burned the throat.
27:33It choked off every curse and every question I never got to say.
27:38Somewhere in the distance, one of the younger Marines started crying.
27:42They would never understand that this fire wasn't only burning two filthy bodies.
27:47It was burning a wife's last faith in her husband.
27:51And a mother's last dream for her child.
27:54When the first rays of sunrise tore through the clouds, I stood on the rebuilt watchtower and looked down at
28:01the brand new harbor.
28:03In the distance, the newly formed children's choir had already started rehearsing.
28:08Their young voices floated through the morning light.
28:14The flowers that bloom from ruins are brighter than the roses that came before the war.
28:19The grief of losing our loved ones had not faded.
28:22But hope had already begun to rise.
28:24But hope had already begun to rise.
