00:00I was in a car accident with my younger sister
00:02Her heart was ruptured!
00:04Surgery now!
00:06But mom, the hospital director, gathered every doctor around my sister's bedside instead
00:10They examined Emily head to toe despite only having minor scratches
00:15I begged mom to save me, but she looked at me like I was dirt
00:19Can you stop pretending for attention?
00:22Do you know your sister almost broke a bone?
00:26In the end, I died alone, in a corner
00:29No one even noticed
00:31So why did the mom who hated me most go crazy when she saw my dead body?
00:37In the final three minutes of my life, my soul drifted to mom's side
00:42She was sitting at my sister Emily's bedside, praying with worry
00:46Emily, baby, don't scare mommy
00:49Wake up, okay?
00:52If Sophia had actually done her job and protected her sister
00:56Emily wouldn't be like this
00:59Just wait
01:01I'm gonna beat the hell out of the brat
01:04Dad, you don't have to
01:06I'm already dead
01:08Killed by your indifference
01:12Then, the doctors crowded around Emily's bed
01:14They confirmed her injuries were only scrapes
01:17One of the older doctors finally dared to bring me up
01:20Director Susan, should we really not check on Sophia?
01:24Her injuries look pretty bad
01:26What's she pulling now?
01:27Playing dead?
01:28Doesn't she get what she did to her own sister?
01:31I stared at her, stunned
01:33My dead heart throbbed with pain
01:35I was her daughter too
01:37Did she really not care at all?
01:39Suddenly, mom grabbed her phone and called me
01:42The nurse held the phone up to my ear
01:44I waited for something
01:46Anything that sounded like concern
01:49Sophia, when are you going to crawl out of bed and apologize to your sister?
01:54Something inside me went cold
01:56Right, she doesn't care
01:58Of course she didn't
01:59When they wheeled me into the ER
02:01I begged her to save me
02:03All she said was
02:05Do you have to fight for attention even at a time like this?
02:08Didn't you realize your sister almost broke a bone?
02:12Then she walked off with every doctor to tend to Emily
02:15He didn't look back once
02:17She had no room left to love me
02:20The nurse couldn't take it
02:23She took the phone
02:26Director
02:28Sophia really isn't going to make it
02:33How much did the little bitch pay you
02:36To put on this show?
02:37I can believe she's capable of something like this
02:40Just as she finished speaking
02:42Emily, who had been acting unconscious the whole time
02:46Finally woke up
02:47She faked a weak voice and asked
02:51Mom
02:51Dad
02:53Oh Sophie
02:54Mom looked at her perfect, well-behaved younger daughter
02:57The disgust on her face deepened
03:00Sophia
03:01Why can't you be more like your sister?
03:04She nearly died because of you
03:06Get over here in three minutes and apologize
03:09Or don't bother coming home again
03:11She hung up
03:13Her chest was heaving with anger
03:15Dad was right beside her, scowling
03:18Why bother calling him?
03:20Isn't it enough that he nearly got Emily killed?
03:22Emily couldn't hide the smug curl at the edge of her mouth
03:25She dropped her head and put on a guilt-stricken expression
03:28Mom, Dad, don't be mad at her
03:31Sophia's still hung up about how I took her overseas scholarship
03:34She has every right to blame me
03:38I almost laughed
03:40I'm dead
03:41And she's still poisoning Mom and Dad against me
03:43But of course they couldn't see it
03:45Emily was always the sweet one
03:47The good daughter
03:48Always
03:49They'd never imagine that their innocent daughter
03:52Was the one who'd pushed me into traffic
03:56Hearing the scholarship thing
03:58Mom's face went cold
03:59What's the point of sending someone that selfish abroad?
04:03She'd come back ten times more rotten
04:05Emily, sweet as honey
04:08Mom, don't be angry
04:11I'm sure Sophia has her reasons
04:14Mom's eyes softened
04:15Emily, you're too kind
04:19That's why she's been able to bully you all your life
04:22This was Emily
04:23Always knew exactly what to say to win our parents' hearts
04:27I knew even if I stood right in front of them
04:30And listed every cruel thing Emily had ever done
04:34They'd slap me across the face
04:36You're a liar!
04:38Why are you so jealous?
04:40After all these years, I'd gotten used to it
04:43The door suddenly banged open
04:46My older brother Eric came barreling in
04:48Eyes wild
04:49Scanning Emily for injuries
04:51The second he'd heard
04:53He'd jumped on a flight from out of state
04:55Without a second thought
04:56Same as mom and dad
04:57His world began and ended with Emily
05:00Once Eric confirmed Emily was fine
05:03He let out a long breath
05:05His face hardened
05:07I've always said it
05:09Sophia's a curse on this family
05:10Since the day Emily was born
05:13She's been hurting her again and again
05:15Don't be mad, Eric
05:18Even if Sophia did push me into the road
05:21I'm sure she didn't mean it
05:24What? She pushed you?
05:26That little bitch
05:28I am not done with her
05:30Eric's eyes turned to acid
05:31As if he wished he could rip me into pieces
05:33Emily's flinched
05:34Careful not to push too hard
05:35Please don't be mad at Sophie, okay?
05:37Maybe I remembered it wrong
05:39No matter what, she's still my sister
05:42She wouldn't do something like that
05:44You're too naive
05:46You have no idea how cruel people can be
05:48It's truly a blessing to have a daughter like you
05:51Don't worry
05:52We're done with Sophia
05:53Just focus on getting better
05:55The warm afternoon sun pooled gold across Emily's bed
05:58I watched them, the perfect family of four
06:01Laughing, comforting each other
06:02Something acid rose in my throat
06:04I realized how out of place my soul truly was
06:06Like I wasn't their family
06:07Like I was a stray dog
06:09I wanted to leave
06:10But my soul was glued to mom
06:11I couldn't move
06:12Couldn't speak
06:13I had to stand there and let them tear me apart
06:16A few days later, after the family had nursed her tirelessly
06:18Emily was discharged
06:19Mom was busy packing her bags
06:20Dad pulled the car right up to the hospital entrance
06:23Afraid Emily might have to walk even a single extra step
06:25Eric knelt down to slip Emily's shoes onto her feet
06:28On the drive home, mom muttered the whole way
06:30Sophia is really something else
06:32She doesn't even visit her sister at the hospital, let alone apologize
06:36I'm going to teach her a lesson once we get home
06:38Told you
06:40Keeping that one at home is asking for trouble
06:42She's gonna get someone killed someday
06:44The words, teach her a lesson, stuck in my chest
06:46Many memories of the lesson flooded my mind
06:49Since I was young, mom had favored Emily
06:51Always made me yield
06:52Because the day Emily was born, I'd knocked over a glass of water
06:56Mom slipped, went into labor early
06:58Emily spent her first weeks in an incubator
07:01The whole family's hearts was broke
07:03The whole family that once loved me changed overnight
07:06Dad was mad at me
07:08You jinx! Your sister was born and you almost killed her!
07:12They were full of disappointment
07:14I believed them
07:15I thought I'd hurt my sister
07:16So I did everything I could for her
07:18I brushed her hair, gave her pony rides
07:21And took her to and from school
07:23But to my parents, it was never enough
07:25In elementary school, dad locked me in my room and takes my supper away
07:29You should reflect on yourself
07:30And that was because Emily wanted my only doll
07:33And for the first time, I said no
07:36Dad had brought many toys home for Emily from a business trip
07:40And tossed me one as an afterthought
07:42But I loved it
07:43It was my only doll
07:44Emily had boxes of toys she couldn't even fit in her room
07:47But she had to have mine
07:49When I wouldn't let go, she screamed and shoved me to the ground
07:53Tears streamed down her face
07:55Sophia, your sister has suffered enough because of you
07:58What more do you want?
08:00I didn't!
08:01Mom, don't be mad
08:03It's my fault
08:04I shouldn't have fought Sophia for her toy
08:07A cold-hearted girl like you isn't worth keeping
08:10You'll bring this family down
08:12That night, I curled up in the corner of my room
08:15Hunger was eating me alive
08:17And I thought it was my fault too
08:18Crying, I begged them to let me out
08:21I'm sorry, Emily
08:22I'll never fight with you over anything again
08:24But on the other side of the door, there was nothing
08:27From that day on, every time Emily cried
08:30The hungry and the dark night followed
08:32After a while, I stopped crying
08:34I stopped trying to explain
08:36I stopped trying to win their love back
08:38And now, they left me cold and lifeless on the operating table
08:42Since I was young, Mom had favored Emily
08:45Always made me yield
08:46Because the day Emily was born
08:48I'd knocked over a glass of water
08:50Mom slipped, went into labor early
08:52Emily spent her first weeks in an incubator
08:55The whole family's hearts was broke
08:57The whole family that once loved me changed overnight
09:00Dad was mad at me
09:02You jinx, your sister was born and you almost killed her
09:06They were full of disappointment
09:07I believed them
09:08I thought I'd hurt my sister
09:10So I did everything I could for her
09:12I brushed her hair, gave her pony rides
09:15And took her to and from school
09:16But to my parents, it was never enough
09:19In elementary school, Dad locked me in my room
09:21And takes my supper away
09:23You should reflect on yourself
09:24And that was because Emily wanted my only doll

09:41But she had to have mine
09:43When I wouldn't let go
09:44She screamed and shoved me to the ground
09:47Tears streamed down her face
09:49Sophia, your sister has suffered enough because of you
09:52What more do you want?
09:54I didn't
09:55Mom, don't be mad
09:57It's my fault
09:58I shouldn't have fought Sophia for her toy
10:01A cold-hearted girl like you isn't worth keeping
10:04You'll bring this family down
10:06That night, I curled up in the corner of my room
10:08Hunger was eating me alive
10:10And I thought it was my fault too
10:12Crying, I begged them to let me out
10:15I'm sorry, Emily
10:16I'll never fight with you over anything again
10:18But on the other side of the door, there was nothing
10:21From that day on, every time Emily cried
10:24The hungry and the dark night followed
10:26After a while, I stopped crying
10:28I stopped trying to explain
10:30I stopped trying to win their love back
10:32And now, they left me cold and lifeless on the operating table
10:36As soon as they got home from the hospital
10:38Emily flopped onto the couch
10:40The moment she said she was hungry
10:42Eric bolted for the kitchen
10:44Declaring he'd show off something new he'd learned to cook
10:47Eric had never entered the kitchen in his life
10:49He scrolled through nutrition recipes on his phone
10:52Terrified of getting anything wrong for Emily
10:55Dad even pulled out a brand new luxury handbag from this season
10:58Said it was her welcome home gift
11:00To celebrate her near-death recovery
11:02Mom cleaned Emily's room top to bottom
11:05She brought in plants
11:06Said the fresh air would help her heal
11:08Emily lounged on the couch, fiddling with the bag
11:10The entire household was orbiting around her
11:13And me, my soul, tethered to this place I'd known all my life
11:17It had never felt so cold
11:20Suddenly, the doorbell rang
11:21I saw a face I knew better than my own
11:24My boyfriend, Ethan
11:26He came in and went straight to Emily
11:30I'm so glad you're okay
11:31I brought some things for you
11:33I wanted to check in
11:35Ethan, you didn't have to come all this way
11:37I'm completely fine
11:38The cold, untouchable boy I knew
11:40Turned into something soft and brotherly
11:43When he was around Emily
11:44I watched him
11:46He was a stranger
11:47Then he said it
11:48Where's Sophia?
11:50If he hadn't mentioned me
11:52I think they would have forgotten I existed
11:54At my name, mom's face went dark
11:57Why bring her up?
11:59I scolded her once
12:01And she stomped out of the house!
12:09Fine by me
12:10If she likes being out there so much
12:12She can stay away forever
12:14She can die
12:16Out there for all I care
12:18The house would finally be peaceful
12:21Maybe that's for the best
12:23So she doesn't disturb Emily's recovery
12:28So, when are you breaking up with Sophia?
12:31You'd better lock our girl down before someone takes her
12:33Actually, I was planning to tell her today
12:35While I was over here
12:38A bitter, sour thing rose from my chest into my throat
12:42I gave a quiet, self-mocking smile
12:44Turned away
12:45I couldn't look at any of them anymore
12:47I had long grown used to the feeling of being unloved anyway
12:52After dinner, mom grew irritable for some reason
12:54She slipped into her room alone
12:56Started scrolling on her phone
12:58Hunting for something
12:59I drifted over
13:00She was looking for me
13:01My contact
13:03She dialed
13:05Dialed again
13:07Dialed again
13:10No one picked up
13:11After a while, she slammed the phone down
13:14She won't even pick up now!
13:16Do you think anyone actually cares about you?
13:20I wanted to say
13:22Mom, I'm dead
13:24Who would answer?
13:25Then she called the nurse from the hospital
13:29Hello?
13:30Did Sean tell you what kind of stun he's trying to pull?
13:32Tell her to cut the crap!
13:35Tell her to come home and apologize to her sister
13:37And I'll let her back in!
13:38There was a long pause on the other end
13:43Director, Sophia died over a week ago
13:50Her heart ruptured in the accident
13:52But you'd ordered all the doctors into your other daughter's room
13:55There was no one left to do the surgery
13:58Mom's pupils snapped wide
13:59She froze
14:00She refused to believe it
14:02She started piecing the day back together
14:04Spoke with cold confidence
14:05That's not possible
14:07They were in the same car
14:10Emily's already home
14:11Don't think I can't see through her little tricks!
14:13She's competing with her sister for attention
14:15She wants me to worry
14:17I am warning you!
14:19Both of you!
14:20Stop playing this game!
14:21Or you'll regret it!
14:23Director, I'm not lying
14:25If you don't believe me
14:26Go down to the morgue yourself
14:32All of you
14:34Conspiring against me
14:35You have no idea who you're messing with!
14:39Ethan's still here
14:40What are you screaming about?
14:42Mom clutched her phone to her chest with both hands
14:44Looked at Dad
14:45Helpless for the first time
14:46The nurse said Sophia's dead
14:50That can't be true, can it?
14:54How are you this glovable?
14:56If she'd really been hurt that bad
14:58That little snake would have made sure to drag Emily down with her
15:01Look at Emily!
15:02She's fine!
15:03Yeah, ma'am
15:03She doesn't die easy
15:04We're lucky she hasn't taken the rest of us down with her
15:10If the annoying Brapp is dead
15:12Isn't that better?
15:12Why are you stressing about it?
15:13I'd known they all favored Emily
15:15But to see what I was in their eyes
15:17After all these years
15:18Even if they didn't love me
15:20They should have known me
15:21They should have known I'd never gamble with my own life
15:24Just to win attention
15:26They worked on Mom from all sides
15:28She straightened her back
15:29The arrogance came flooding back
15:30First thing tomorrow
15:31I'm going down to that hospital
15:33And exposing them
15:34If Sophia isn't actually in that morgue
15:36I'm breaking her legs
15:37And firing that nurse on the spot
15:39Maybe heaven took pity on me
15:41Outside, a light rain started to fall
15:43Their casual words landed on me
15:45Like slaps across the face
15:48Sharply
15:48Ringing
15:49But I had no voice to cry out
15:51Now I understood
15:52All of them
15:53All of them
15:54Had been hoping I'd die
15:56The next morning
15:57Mom didn't even eat
15:58She drove straight to the hospital
15:59Dad was uneasy
16:00And went with her
16:01The whole way
16:02Still making me run such a useless errand
16:04With her petty tricks
16:05But the moment she stepped into the morgue
16:08And saw my body
16:09She staggered back
16:10Slid down against the wall
16:11Hugged herself
16:12How could this be?
16:13How could this happen?
16:15She didn't look that hurt
16:16She was even alert
16:18I didn't look seriously hurt
16:20Just a few scratches on my hands
16:22From holding my sister
16:23But because I had to have healed her
16:25Cradling her beneath me
16:26The full force of the impact
16:28Shattered my heart
16:29I looked alert
16:30Because the adrenaline
16:31Was off the charts
16:32My organs were shredded
16:34If mom
16:35The director of the entire hospital
16:37Had spared me one careful look
16:39She would have seen it
16:40But she only had eyes for Emily
16:42Not once did she look at me
16:44Dad reached out a hand
16:45Like he wanted to touch my face
16:47Maybe my body was too disfigured
16:49His hand stopped in midair
16:50When they heard the news
16:51Emily and Eric came rushing over
16:54She bolted to my bedside
16:56Dropped to her knees
16:57Started wailing
16:58Sophia, why?
17:00How could you be so stupid?
17:02Just because I took your study abroad spot
17:05Two years ago
17:05You hated me that much
17:06You hated me enough to kill yourself
17:08When she'd finished the performance
17:09She sat back
17:10And started slapping herself
17:12Across the face
17:13I'm sorry Sophia
17:15It's my fault
17:16They lunged to stop her
17:18It's okay Emily
17:19It's not your fault
17:20She did this to herself
17:22She got what she deserved
17:23Study abroad spot
17:24My head went quiet
17:25The memory pulled me back
17:26Two years
17:27I was four years older than Emily
17:29Her senior year of high school
17:30Was my senior year of college
17:32I'd studied like my life depended on it
17:34Because it did
17:35Four years
17:36Top of my class every semester
17:38By the end
17:38I had a guaranteed offer
17:40From one of the top grad schools in the world
17:42Emily had coasted through high school
17:44She didn't get into a decent college
17:48But that day she came home and told mom and dad she wanted to study abroad
17:51They knew she'd just go overseas and party
17:53They said yes anyway
17:54That night mom made me a huge dinner
17:56Kept piling food onto my plate
17:59Sophia sweetie
18:00We can only afford to send one of you abroad
18:03Your sister just graduated high school
18:05I put my fork down
18:07Mom
18:08Even if you send Emily overseas you're throwing money away
18:10That's a top clear school I got into
18:13It was the first time in my life I'd ever pushed back
18:15Sophia
18:16Your dad and I raised you
18:18Isn't it time you started thinking about how to take care of us?
18:20Can you really sit there and watch your sister with no school to go to?
18:23How heartless are you?
18:25Are you trying to put me and your father into the grave?
18:28She was working herself up
18:29Maybe I was still clinging to that last sliver of love I thought she had for me
18:33Mom
18:34Calm down
18:35I'll give the spot to her
18:36I regret it now
18:37If I hadn't I'd be overseas with a real job
18:40I wouldn't have died like this
18:42A few days later
18:43Out of guilt
18:44Mom held a passable funeral for me
18:46A few relatives showed up
18:48A few of mom's co-workers from the hospital
18:50The nurse who'd helped me was there
18:51She walked up to my casket with a bunch of flowers
18:54I'm so sorry
18:55If I'd been braver maybe you wouldn't have died
18:58Came not late
18:59Just wait
19:00What goes around comes around
19:02And the jerk's about to get what's coming
19:04Sophia was always difficult
19:06This time she couldn't let go of an old grudge
19:09And tried to hurt her sister
19:11And got herself killed in the end
19:13Everyone knew mom favored Emily
19:15They knew what I'd been put through
19:17But nobody wanted to start anything
19:19They just nodded along
19:20Then sirens cut through the chatter
19:22A group of officers parted the crowd
19:24And walked straight up to mom and Emily
19:26Officers?
19:27Can I help you?
19:27Mom looked confused
19:28The lead officer compared her face to a photo
19:31Are you Susan Bennett?
19:31He held up an arrest warrant
19:32You need to come with us
19:34We received reports that you abused medical resources
19:40What?
19:41Are you crazy?
19:42My mom is the most dedicated doctor I know
19:44She'd never do something like that
19:46You need evidence
19:46She spun around
19:47Who?
19:48Who reported my mom?
19:50The nurse who'd been standing in the back
19:52Stepped forward quietly
19:54I did
19:54Ma'am
19:55Calm down
19:56We're doing this by the book
19:57Pull that again and you're coming in too
19:59You want evidence?
20:00We've got evidence
20:01It was the security footage from outside the operating room
20:04The video clearly captured the conversation I had that day with my mom and the nurse over the phone
20:09There was no denying it
20:10Mom went pale and pitched forward
20:12Emily caught her
20:13A second officer leaned in and murmured something to the lead
20:16The lead pulled up another photo
20:17Studied Emily carefully
20:18Ms. Bennett, you're under arrest on suspicion of a premeditated murder
20:21Please come with us as well
20:22The whole crowd erupted
20:23Even I was lost
20:25Everyone had suspected mom of something
20:27But Emily?
20:28Literally
20:29Emily's face cracked
20:30You're lying!
20:30I never did anything like that!
20:32Try me!
20:33Try me!
20:34I want to see your evidence!
20:35The officer calmly raised his phone again
20:37It was another security footage outside our house
20:40Emily sneaked over to my car
20:42She tampered with the brake lines
20:44Muttering under her breath
20:45Go to hell
20:45She hadn't known that day
20:47Mom had forced me to drive Emily somewhere
20:50Emily had no choice but to get in
20:52That's why she'd been so jumpy in the car
20:54Why she kept telling me to drive slow
20:57Eric collapsed to her knees, sobbing
21:00Emily! Why?
21:02I think I know why
21:03A few months earlier, Emily had racked up massive gambling debts
21:07Loan sharks
21:09She had nowhere to turn
21:10She'd come to me
21:12I didn't have that kind of money
21:14Told her to confess to police
21:17Don't please!
21:18They'll break my hands!
21:19They'll ruin me!
21:20Please, sis!
21:21Please help me!
21:22But I couldn't let her keep digging deeper
21:23I couldn't let mom and dad's life faintings vanish into a black hole
21:27No!
21:28Okay!
21:29You're right!
21:30I'll turn myself in
21:32Just give me two days
21:33I need time to prepare
21:34I felt sorry for her
21:36I softened
21:37Yes!
21:39She used those two days to plan my murder
21:41The officer pulled out one more video
21:43Dash cam footage
21:44He slid the phone toward mom
21:46Look
21:47This is the daughter you condemned to die
21:49In the video
21:50The second the car flipped
21:52I twisted my body around Emily
21:53Locked her in tight
21:54Shielded her with my chest
21:56Mom
21:56Dad
21:56Eric
21:57All three of them turned slowly to look at Emily
21:59The room went dead silent
22:01Then mom snapped
22:02She lunged at Emily and seized her by the collar
22:04Murderer!
22:05How could you?
22:06How could you do that to your own sister?
22:09She tried to slap Emily
22:11The officer caught her wrist
22:12It was the first time in my entire life
22:14I'd seen mom raise a hand to her
22:15Emily knew it was over
22:17She tipped her head back and laughed
22:18Then she looked mom dead in the eye
22:20All the sweetness
22:21Gone
22:22Her eyes were ice
22:23Evil?
22:25You're the one who taught me
22:26Murdered her?
22:28On the day of the accident
22:29You're the one who pulled every doctor into my room
22:31So they couldn't operate on her
22:33If it weren't for you mom
22:34Do you really think I could have killed her that easily?
22:37The words went through mom like a steel pin
22:39Her body went rigid
22:40Years of choices wrapped around her like a noose
22:43Guilt landed all at once
22:44And finally
22:45Finally
22:46She felt something for me
22:47She started yanking her own hair
22:49Her eyes were enormous
22:50She shook her head over and over
22:52I'm sorry Sophia
22:54I'm so sorry
22:55It's my fault
22:56I wronged you for so many years
22:58I'm the one who should die
23:00Sophia wake up
23:02Wake up mommy's sorry
23:04Mommy's begging you
23:05Mommy's on her knees
23:06You wanted to study abroad?
23:09Mommy will pay
23:10Mommy will send you
23:11No
23:11Mommy will come with you
23:13Mommy will go with you
23:15She slammed her head into the stone
23:17The officers rushed to pull her back
23:18But her blood was already on the photo
23:20Bright red in the sunlight
23:22As bright as the sun
23:23The day she'd held me as a newborn
23:25If mom's apology had come earlier
23:27Maybe I could have known what a mother's love felt like
23:29I was dead
23:30My heart was dead
23:31Whatever she said now
23:33I would never forgive her
23:35But mom
23:35I don't blame you
23:37I just can't make peace with all the hurt I lived through
23:40I can't accept that my own mother let me die alone on an operating table
23:44The officers took mom and Emily
23:46Dad and Eric were brought in for questioning
23:48The nurse walked to my grave
23:50I was brave this time
23:51The people who hurt you are gone
23:53The law will give you justice
23:55She was new on the job
23:56New nurses always blame themselves when patients die
23:59She reminded me of myself when I was first starting out
24:02Taking everything onto my own shoulders
24:03I patted her gently on the shoulder
24:05It wasn't your fault
24:07Just look forward
24:07But I was just a soul
24:09She couldn't feel it
24:10Couldn't hear me
24:10Two weeks later
24:11The verdict came down
24:12Emily got the death penalty
24:14Mom got life
24:15No parole
24:16Maybe because justice had been done
24:18My soul came loose
24:19I could go wherever I wanted
24:21I wasn't shackled to mom anymore
24:23In her final days
24:24Emily was eaten alive
24:25By the fear of dying
24:26She didn't dare close her eyes at night
24:28Banging her head against the walls
24:29Like a mad woman
24:30She repeated over and over
24:31That she hadn't done anything wrong
24:33In a single week
24:34She wasted away to bones
24:35In another lifetime
24:36Mom and dad and Eric
24:38Would have been devastated to see her like that
24:39But this time
24:40Nobody came
24:41The day of her execution
24:42I floated overhead and watched
24:44The second she died
24:45Her soul lifted out of her body
24:47Exactly the way mine had
24:48She saw me
24:49Her eyes went huge with terror
24:51Sis, I'm sorry
24:52I was wrong
24:53Please don't kill me
24:54Don't kill me
24:55Aren't you already dead?
24:57She looked down at her own body
24:58Screamed
24:59And then her soul shattered into pieces
25:00And was gone
25:01Only I could hear it
25:02Being a soul too
25:03The girl who'd killed me
25:05Wouldn't even get a next life
25:07I'd call us even
25:08Mom spent her days in prison
25:10Being tortured by her own mind
25:13Crying one minute
25:14Laughing the next
25:16Running
25:18Raging
25:19Sometimes
25:20She hit the guards
25:23Sometimes
25:24She hit herself
25:26It would take three of them
25:28To hold her down
25:29Eventually the prison
25:31Brought in psychiatrists
25:32Mom was diagnosed
25:34With trauma induced psychosis
25:35They moved her
25:37To a psychiatric hospital
25:38It only got worse
25:41My daughter's name is Sophia
25:43She got into one of the
25:44Top graduate schools
25:46In the world
25:46She's studying abroad
25:48Right now
25:48When she comes home
25:50I'll bring her to meet you
25:53She's tall
25:55She's beautiful
25:57She's been the sweetest girl
25:58Since the day she was born
26:00Sometimes
26:01She'd have a few minutes
26:02Of clarity
26:03She'd sit on her bed
26:04And stare out the window
26:05Maybe it's a mother-daughter thing
26:08I could feel her
26:09In those moments
26:10Drowning
26:11The years she'd thrown away
26:13Were piling on top of her
26:15And they were never
26:16Going to stop
26:18Right before I moved on
26:19To my next life
26:20Mom was sitting on the edge
26:21Of her bed
26:22And this time
26:23She saw me
26:26Sophia
26:29You came back
26:33Did you come back
26:34To see mommy
26:37Mommy's so sorry baby
26:39Will you forgive mommy
26:41Mommy remembered
26:42Used to love candy
26:43Mommy saved these for you
26:45When I was little
26:46I had loved candy
26:47But mom only ever gave it to Emily
26:49Never to me
26:50Emily used to wave hers in my face
26:52When mom wasn't looking
26:53Then she popped it in her mouth
26:55So I couldn't have any
26:56After I grew up
26:57I stopped eating candy entirely
26:59Mom's hands twisted in her lap
27:01You're all grown up now
27:04Mommy still thinks of you
27:05As my little girl
27:06I stared at her for a long time
27:08Mom
27:09Yes baby
27:11Mom
27:11I don't blame you
27:14But I'm never going to forgive you
27:17Okay
27:18That's okay
27:19I owe you baby
27:22You're right not to forgive me
27:24I was afraid I'd lose it
27:26I turned
27:27And walked away
27:28Didn't look back
27:29That night
27:30Eric got a phone call
27:32Your mother
27:33Her condition deteriorated
27:35She slit her wrists
27:36And tried to kill herself
27:37By the time we found her
27:38She was gone
27:39I'm so sorry
27:40Our condolences
27:41Sophia
27:44You came back
27:48Did you come back
27:49To see mommy
27:52Mommy's so sorry baby
27:54Will you forgive mommy
27:55Mommy remembered
27:57Used to love candy
27:58Mommy saved these for you
28:00When I was little
28:01I had loved candy
28:02But mom only ever gave it to Emily
28:04Never to me
28:05Emily used to wave hers in my face
28:07When mom wasn't looking
28:08Then she popped it in her mouth
28:09So I couldn't have any
28:11After I grew up
28:12I stopped eating candy entirely
28:14Mom's hands twisted in her lap
28:16You're all grown up now
28:18Mommy still thinks of you
28:20As my little girl
28:21I stared at her for a long time
28:22Mom
28:23Yes baby
28:26Mom
28:26I don't blame you
28:28But I'm never going to forgive you
28:32Okay
28:33That's okay
28:34I owe you baby
28:36You're right not to forgive me
28:39I was afraid I'd lose it
28:40I turned
28:42And walked away
28:43Didn't look back
28:44That night
28:44Eric got a phone call
28:47Your mother
28:48Her condition deteriorated
28:50She slit her wrists
28:50And tried to kill herself
28:51By the time we found her
28:53She was gone
28:53I'm so sorry
28:54Our condolences
28:55I had a little bit of time left
28:58I drifted back to my own grave
28:59I wanted to say something to myself
29:01I wanted to say goodbye
29:02Instead
29:03I found Ethan
29:04I scoffed
29:05What's he doing here?
29:07He looked up
29:07He could hear me now
29:08Sophia
29:09Is that you?
29:10Can you see?
29:12I got revenge for you
29:14After you died
29:15I used visiting Emily as cover
29:16I got into your house
29:17I found the security footage
29:19Of her cutting your brake lines
29:20I gave it to the police
29:21It hit me
29:22After I died
29:23He must have gone to the crash site
29:25He'd loved working on cars
29:26His whole life
29:27He would have seen the cut brake lines
29:29In seconds
29:29He'd never betrayed me
29:30He pretended to fall for Emily
29:32To get close enough
29:33To find proof
29:34He helped me
29:35But so what?
29:36After all these years
29:37Of being his girlfriend
29:38He always kept that cold expression
29:40Taking comfort in my care
29:42I shouldn't have been so cold to you all the time
29:44I really do love you
29:46I've just gotten used to your devotion
29:48If there's another life
29:50I'll treat you better
29:50Too late
29:52If there's a next life
29:55I want someone who truly loves me
29:57He seemed to hear me
29:58And looked my way
29:59No, no Sophie
30:00I love you
30:02It's fine
30:03Next life
30:04I'll pursue you
30:05I shook my head
30:06If there's a new life
30:08I will start completely new
30:10I had nothing left holding me here
30:12My body felt lighter and lighter
30:14I started slipping past
30:16Whatever had been keeping me together
30:17I knew my time was up
30:18A peace settled over me
30:20I'd never felt before
30:21Like I was here to show the living
30:23That the end of a life
30:25Isn't really an end
30:26It's the start of the next journey
30:28My soul drifted back
30:29To the day of the crash
30:30This time
30:31The surgery was a success
30:33It ended my terrible life
