00:00:34be different that morning I got up early on purpose put on light makeup and sat on the living room

00:00:48taking Chloe to her intensive class dad was watering tomatoes in the backyard Ethan called him to go
00:00:55play basketball at the park and the two of them left soon after at noon I was the only one
00:01:01left
00:01:01in the house I sent a message in the family group chat I'm 18 today no one replied at 7
00:01:09that night
00:01:09everybody came home no one sang no one felt like anything was missing I was 18 now at last I
00:01:17could
00:01:18decide for myself where I wanted to go Mallory delete that message from the group chat I almost missed
00:01:25grandpa's voice message Ethan didn't even look up he tapped the edge of his plate lightly with his
00:01:32dinner knife signaling mom to give him more ribs I looked down at my phone the message in the family
00:01:40chat I'm 18 today was still sitting there no one had replied mom came over with a plate of garlic
00:01:48bread
00:01:48and set it in the middle of the table all right no phones at dinner I looked at the food
00:01:57on the table
00:01:58Ethan liked ribs Chloe liked mac and cheese mom had made the salad for herself not a single dish was
00:02:05for
00:02:05me I liked seafood grilled salmon was my favorite I had said it so many times no one in this
00:02:13family

00:02:31little when I shoot I'll take you to a sports therapist tomorrow my words died in midair
00:02:37I finished dinner quietly and went to wash the dishes I turned the faucet on high
00:02:44from the living room came the sound of Chloe practicing ballet basics her toes landing against
00:02:49the floor one by one mom counted beats beside her Ethan was playing Xbox in his room shouting every few
00:02:55minutes dad was on the couch with his iPad everyone in this house had something of their own
00:03:00everyone had someone answering them except me I stood in the kitchen washing platelets and cups
00:03:10for five people the water was loud loud enough that even if I cried no one would hear after the
00:03:17dishes
00:03:17I went back to my room and shut the door my phone lit up it was a message in the
00:03:22class group chat it was
00:03:23the only happy birthday I had received all day from a classmate I had known for less than a year
00:03:28I replied thank you then I opened my photo album and kept scrolling back after I turned six mom's
00:03:34camera had almost completely turned toward them most of the photos were of them I scrolled for a long
00:03:39time before I finally found one it was from when I was nine and had entered the school speech contest
00:03:44mom had taken it from the audience the photo was blurry only half my body was in it because the
00:03:51other
00:03:51half of the frame was Chloe in the front row turning back toward the camera with a bright smile I
00:03:57stood
00:03:57off stage in front of the microphone my face barely visible the phone screen dimmed and my face appeared
00:04:05in the black reflection 18 year old Mallory Hayes had spent the whole morning putting on makeup waited all
00:04:11day and still hadn't gotten a single happy birthday mom's voice came from outside the door

00:05:36Chloe did you pack your water bottle it's hot today drink more water I did
00:05:43Mallory drive your sister there she still doesn't know the stops near the training center
00:05:47Chloe had been going to that training center for two years mom still said she didn't know the way
00:05:55okay as we were leaving Ethan finally got up and called from his doorway mom what's for breakfast
00:06:03I left you a bagel and yogurt on the table a bagel and yogurt Ethan's regular breakfast
00:06:10no one had ever asked what I wanted in the morning on the way to the training center Chloe sat
00:06:16in the
00:06:16passenger seat scrolling through her phone she wasn't trying to be cold it just never occurred to her
00:06:23to talk to me sis when she suddenly spoke my palm tightened on the wheel what that message you
00:06:34sent in the group chat yesterday Ethan told you to delete it yeah did you know she nodded then lowered
00:06:46her head to look at her phone again I waited for a long time waiting for her to say happy

00:07:37the way my time was always free I typed okay and sent it then I turned my phone face down
00:07:43on the desk
00:07:46suddenly I wondered what would happen if one day I didn't reply with okay if I turned off my phone
00:07:54canceled my number and disappeared too would they first panic because no one could pick up Chloe or would
00:08:01they think of me first I knew the answer when I picked Chloe up her face was flushed from training
00:08:06and her hair was damp sis I'm thirsty where's your water bottle finished it I handed her the spare
00:08:14bottle of water in the car thanks sis on the way home she soon fell asleep against the window I
00:08:20adjusted
00:08:20the air conditionings so the car wouldn't be so cold she was the little princess everyone in the
00:08:24family revolved around and most of the roads I had driven through this city had been for someone else

00:09:05only a very short while all it got from mom was one sentence not bad the next message was a
00:09:10video mom sent

00:09:15flyers on the
00:09:16coffee table it said congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Hayes your daughter Mallory Hayes has received an honorable mention in the
00:09:23national high school mathematics Olympiad two months had passed the envelope hadn't even been opened it

00:09:38pride filling her voice my aunt asked about Chloe's dance competition mom said she had won gold at

00:10:07what
00:10:07about you I went back to my room opened my laptop and started looking up colleges that would actually
00:10:11care about competition backgrounds in the end I stopped at Carnegie Mellon hundreds of miles away
00:10:16from home no one would remember me only when they needed someone to pick up my sister I opened the
00:10:21application page my fingers hovered over the screen for three seconds before I finally closed it I
00:10:27decided to try one more time if they still couldn't see me this time I would leave completely
00:10:37Mallory Ashley is coming to stay with us for a while give her your room and share with Chloe for

00:11:52where three years of notebooks reference books and a few certificates it took me an hour to move

00:12:21one expected to give way on the
00:12:24third day I went back to my room to get review materials and open the door to find Ashley flipping
00:12:29through my math
00:12:30competition notes these are yours your handwriting is so neat yeah please put them back I was just looking you're
00:12:37way too
00:12:37protective of this stuff she casually put the notebook back on the desk I glanced over and suddenly realized one
00:12:43was
00:12:43missing there was a blue one on the desk where is it I didn't touch it I didn't see it
00:12:47I searched for 10 minutes and
00:12:49finally found it in the trash can half the cover had been torn off and several pages inside were soaked
00:12:55with coffee the
00:12:55writing blurred into smears it was the problem-solving notebook I had been organizing since freshman year three years I
00:13:01only had that
00:13:02one copy Ashley this oh maybe I knocked it over when I was carrying coffee just write another one I
00:13:07stood in the doorway holding the drenched notebook my hands shaking I took the notebook back to Chloe's room
00:13:16and dried it page by page with a hair broyer where the writing was blurred I slowly filled it back
00:13:24in with a pencil
00:13:27I worked until one in the morning the next morning Ashley sat in my old seat chatting happily with mom
00:13:33no one asked why the circles under my eyes were so dark or what had happened last night and I
00:13:38no longer
00:13:38needed to wait for that one last time from that day on I began preparing to leave until the day
00:13:44I received

00:13:50gray house
00:13:50ticket for the early dawn departure the next day the destination was Pittsburgh then I walked to the
00:13:55door and placed my house key on the small entryway table I left the group chat and deactivated my old
00:14:00phone number the screen went dark the whole world suddenly became much quieter I pulled my suitcase open the
00:14:10door and closed it softly behind me

00:24:48before I finally closed it I decided to try one more time if they still couldn't see me this time
00:24:55I would leave completely
00:25:01Mallory Ashley is coming to stay with us for a while
00:25:05give her your room and share with Chloe for now Saturday morning mom said it casually while
00:25:10changing shoes by the door I was sitting at the dining table eating cereal my spoon stopped in midair
00:25:19why my room your room gets the best natural light
00:25:23Ashley hasn't been feeling well lately and the doctor said more sunlight would be good for her
00:25:27Ethan's room has a window too your brother is a boy Ashley is a girl how could they share a
00:25:31room
00:25:31then let her stay with Chloe Chloe needs space to stretch at night your room only has a bed and

00:25:36desk it's easy to clear out how long is she staying about half a month her summer program is over
00:25:40here
00:25:41I didn't argue anymore experience had taught me a long time ago that arguing was useless
00:25:45that afternoon Ashley came in dragging two large suitcases smiling sweetly auntie uncle you're here

00:26:02suitcases into my room and looked around from the doorway auntie can this bookshelf be moved out I want to
00:26:09put a
00:26:09vanity mirror here of course Mallory move the bookshelf out on my bookshelf were three years

00:26:22of Chloe's room that night I laid a mattress on the floor of Chloe's room sis why don't you sleep
00:26:29on the
00:26:30bed I'll sleep on the floor no the floor is fine Ashley is actually okay don't be upset
00:26:39Ashley was never what upset me what hurt was that in this house I was always the one expected to
00:26:46give
00:26:46way on the third day I went back to my room to get review materials and open the door to
00:26:52find Ashley
00:26:53flipping through my math competition notes these are yours your handwriting is so neat yeah please put
00:26:59them back I was just looking you're way too protective of this stuff she casually put the notebook back on
00:27:04the
00:27:04desk I glanced over and suddenly realized one was missing there was a blue one on the desk where is
00:27:10it I didn't touch it I didn't see it I searched for 10 minutes and finally found it in the
00:27:14trash can
00:27:15half the cover had been torn off and several pages inside were soaked with coffee the writing blurred
00:27:20into smears it was the problem-solving notebook I had been organizing since freshman year three years I
00:27:25only had that one copy Ashley this oh maybe I knocked it over when I was carrying coffee just write
00:27:31another one I stood in the doorway holding the drenched notebook my hands shaking I took the
00:27:39notebook back to Chloe's room and dried it page by page with a hair broyer where the writing was blurred
00:27:46I slowly filled it back in with a pencil I worked until 1 in the morning the next morning Ashley
00:27:54sat in
00:27:55my old seat chatting happily with mom no one asked why the circles under my eyes were so dark or
00:28:00what had
00:28:00happened last night and I no longer needed to wait for that one last time from that day on I
00:28:06began
00:28:06preparing to leave until the day I received my acceptance letter I knew the time had come to
00:28:11leave this house I packed my suitcase and bought a grey house ticket for the early dawn departure the
00:28:16next day the destination was Pittsburgh then I walked to the door and placed my house key on the
00:28:20small entryway table I left the group chat and deactivated my old phone number the screen went dark
00:28:27the whole world suddenly became much quieter I pulled my suitcase open the door and closed it softly behind me
00:28:53this family celebrates everyone's birthday everyone's but mine because my parents only love my twin
00:28:59siblings Ethan and Chloe they don't love me when Ethan wants a birthday party my parents book a private
00:29:06room at his favorite steakhouse a month in advance when it's Chloe's turn and she wants to go to six

00:30:10message
00:30:10from the group chat I almost missed grandpa's voice message Ethan didn't even look up he tapped the edge of
00:30:18his plate lightly with his dinner knife signaling mom to give him more ribs I looked down at my phone

00:30:35with a plate of garlic bread and set it in the middle of the table all right no phones at
00:30:42dinner

00:30:50salad

00:30:59it so

00:31:21tomorrow my words died in midair I finished dinner quietly and went to wash the dishes I turned the
00:31:29faucet on high from the living room came the sound of Chloe practicing ballet basics her toes landing
00:31:37against the floor one by one mom counted beats beside her Ethan was playing Xbox in his room
00:31:42shouting every few minutes dad was on the couch with his iPad everyone in this house had something
00:31:47of their own everyone had someone answering them except me I stood in the kitchen washing platelets and
00:31:57cups for five people the water was loud loud enough that even if I cried no one would hear after
00:32:05the
00:32:05dishes I went back to my room and shut the door my phone lit up it was a message in

00:32:22camera had almost completely turned toward them most of the photos were of them I scrolled for a long
00:32:27time before I finally found one it was from when I was nine and had entered the school speech contest
00:32:32mom had taken it from the audience the photo was blurry only half my body was in it because the
00:32:39other
00:32:39half of the frame was Chloe in the front row turning back toward the camera with a bright smile I
00:32:45stood
00:32:46off stage in front of the microphone my face barely visible the phone screen dimmed and my face appeared in
00:32:53the black reflection 18 year old Mallory Hayes had spent the whole morning putting on makeup waited all day and

00:34:45finally got up and called from his doorway mom what's for breakfast I left you a bagel and yogurt
00:34:52on the table a bagel and yogurt Ethan's regular breakfast no one had ever asked what I wanted in
00:35:00the morning on the way to the training center Chloe sat in the passenger seat scrolling through her phone
00:35:07she wasn't trying to be cold it just never occurred to her to talk to me
00:35:15sis when she suddenly spoke my palm tightened on the wheel what that message you sent in the group chat

00:35:35her
00:35:35phone again I waited for a long time waiting for her to say happy birthday she didn't when we reached

00:36:25on the way my
00:36:26time was always free I typed okay and sent it then I turned my phone face down on the desk
00:36:32suddenly I
00:36:35wondered what would happen if one day I didn't reply with okay if I turned off my phone canceled my
00:36:43number and disappeared too would they first panic because no one could pick up Chloe or would they
00:36:49think of me first I knew the answer when I picked Chloe up her face was flushed from training and
00:36:55her hair
00:36:55was damp sis I'm thirsty where's your water bottle finished it I handed her the spare bottle of water in
00:37:02the
00:37:02car thanks sis on the way home she soon fell asleep against the window I adjusted the air
00:37:09conditionings so the car wouldn't be so cold she was the little princess everyone in the
00:37:12family revolved around and most of the roads I had driven through this city had been for someone
00:37:16else but not for much longer not long after the school college counselor called me into her office

00:50:41but in the end it still landed on me it's on your way anyway right just go pick her up
00:50:46it wasn't on my
00:50:47way at all but in this family my road was always on the way my time was always free I
00:50:52typed okay and
00:50:53sent it then I turned my phone face down on the desk suddenly I wondered what would happen if one
00:51:03day
00:51:03I didn't reply with okay if I turned off my phone canceled my number and disappeared too would they
00:51:10first panic because no one could pick up Chloe or would they think of me first I knew the answer
00:51:15when I picked Chloe up her face was flushed from training and her hair was damp sis I'm thirsty
00:51:22where's your water bottle finished it I handed her the spare bottle of water in the car
00:51:27thanks sis on the way home she soon fell asleep against the window I adjusted the air conditionings
00:51:33so the car wouldn't be so cold she was the little princess everyone in the family revolved around
00:51:37and most of the roads I had driven through this city had been for someone else but not for much
00:51:42longer not long after the school college counselor called me into her office Mallory Hayes I saw your
00:51:48awards record honorable ments in the national math olympias that's impressive awards like that carry
00:51:54real weight which schools are you considering for early applications I'm still looking what do your
00:51:59parents think I haven't told them yet something this important and you're not discussing it with your
00:52:04family first I want to look into it myself first I knew that even if I told them no one
00:52:09would take
00:52:10it seriously on last month's mock examine I ranked third in the entire grade I took a photo of my
00:52:14report card and sent it to the family group chat my third place ranking stayed in the chat for only
00:52:17a
00:52:18very short while all it got from mom was one sentence not bad the next message was a video mom
00:52:22sent
00:52:22of Chloe dancing that afternoon when I got home I found a dusty letter among a pile of bills and
00:52:28flyers
00:52:28on the coffee table it said congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Hayes your daughter Mallory Hayes has received
00:52:34an honorable mention in the national high school mathematics olympiad two months had passed the
00:52:38envelope hadn't even been opened it was tucked between bills and pizza curans completely forgotten at
00:52:44dinner mom answered a facetime call from my aunt my aunt asked about Ethan's swim meet mom said he had
00:52:49taken
00:52:49second place in the district pride filling her voice my aunt asked about Chloe's dance competition mom said she had

00:53:14forgotten for two months no one asked how I had been lately no one turned to me and said Mallory
00:53:19what about
00:53:19you I went back to my room opened my laptop and started looking up colleges that would actually care
00:53:24about competition backgrounds in the end I stopped at Carnegie Mellon hundreds of miles away from home
00:53:29no one would remember me only when they needed someone to pick up my sister I opened the application
00:53:33page my fingers hovered over the screen for three seconds before I finally closed it I decided to try
00:53:40one more time if they still couldn't see me this time I would leave completely
00:53:49Mallory Ashley is coming to stay with us for a while give her your room and share with Chloe for
00:53:55now Saturday morning mom said it casually while changing shoes by the door I was sitting at the

00:56:02trash can

00:56:08into smears it was the problem-solving notebook I had been organizing since freshman year three years

00:56:26I took the notebook back to Chloe's room and dried it page by page with a hair broyer
00:56:32where the writing was blurred I slowly filled it back in with a pencil
00:56:39I worked until one in the morning the next morning Ashley sat in my old seat chatting happily with mom
00:56:45no one asked why the circles under my eyes were so dark or what had happened last night and I

01:01:32bright smile I stood off stage in front of the microphone my face barely visible the phone screen
01:01:39dimmed and my face appeared in the black reflection 18 year old Mallory Hayes had spent the whole morning

01:15:51the other half of the frame was Chloe in the front row turning back toward the camera with a bright
01:15:56smile
01:15:56I stood off stage in front of the microphone my face barely visible the phone screen dimmed and my
01:16:04face appeared in the black reflection 18 year old Mallory Hayes had spent the whole morning putting
01:16:10on makeup waited all day and still hadn't gotten a single happy birthday mom's voice came from outside the
01:16:16door Mallory wake your sister at seven tomorrow morning she has training at 8 30 okay hey sis it's seven
01:16:31Chloe had woken up on her own she stood in my doorway in a pink leotard her hair half tied
01:16:37I checked my phone 6 53 my alarm hadn't even gone off you got up by yourself yeah I set
01:16:45an alarm mom told
01:16:47you to wake me but I was afraid you didn't sleep well last night she said it so casually but
01:16:53the words
01:16:53still stung she knew I hadn't slept well last night I'll help you tie your hair no it's fine I
01:17:01can do it
01:17:04she turned and left Chloe had always been like that with me she wasn't cruel she just wasn't close
01:17:14she called me sis but the word carried no weight the twins had their own rhythm and I had never
01:17:21been
01:17:21able to enter it at breakfast mom was warming milk for Chloe Ethan wasn't up yet Mally have you eaten
01:17:29I have I hadn't she didn't even check whether there was a bowl I'd used on the table she just
01:17:36nodded Chloe did you pack your water bottle it's hot today drink more water I did Mally drive your
01:17:44sister there she still doesn't know the stops near the training center Chloe had been going to that
01:17:49training center for two years mom still said she didn't know the way okay as we were leaving Ethan
01:17:57finally got up and called from his doorway mom what's for breakfast I left you a bagel and yogurt
01:18:05on the table a bagel and yogurt Ethan's regular breakfast no one had ever asked what I wanted in
01:18:12the morning on the way to the training center Chloe sat in the passenger seat scrolling through her phone
01:18:19she wasn't trying to be cold it just never occurred to her to talk to me
01:18:27sis when she suddenly spoke my palm tightened on the wheel what that message you sent in the group chat
01:18:35yesterday Ethan told you to delete it yeah did you
01:18:44no she nodded then lowered her head to look at her phone again I waited for a long time waiting
01:18:50for her to say happy birthday she didn't when we reached the training center she unbuckled her seat
01:18:57belt sis I'm here yeah train hard can you pick me up this afternoon I finish at five I have

01:19:35at all but
01:19:35in this family my road was always on the way my time was always free I typed okay and sent
01:19:41it then
01:19:42I turned my phone face down on the desk suddenly I wondered what would happen if one day I didn't
01:19:51reply
01:19:52with okay if I turned off my phone canceled my number and disappeared too would they first panic
01:19:59because no one could pick up Chloe or would they think of me first I knew the answer when I
01:20:04picked
01:20:04Chloe up her face was flushed from training and her hair was damp sis I'm thirsty where's your water
01:20:11bottle finished it I handed her the spare bottle of water in the car thanks sis on the way home
01:20:18she
01:20:18soon fell asleep against the window I adjusted the air conditionings so the car wouldn't be so cold she
01:20:23was the little princess everyone in the family revolved around and most of the roads I had driven
01:20:27through this city had been for someone else but not for much longer not long after the school
01:20:33college counselor called me into her office Mallory Hayes I saw your awards record honorable
01:20:38mens in the national math Olympias that's impressive awards like that carry real weight which schools
01:20:44are you considering for early applications I'm still looking what do your parents think I haven't
01:20:49told them yet something this important and you're not discussing it with your family first
01:20:54I want to look into it myself first I knew that even if I told them no one would take
01:20:58it seriously
01:20:58on last month's mock examine I ranked third in the entire grade I took a photo of my report card
01:21:03and
01:21:03sent it to the family group chat my third place ranking stayed in the chat for only a very short
01:21:06while all it got from mom was one sentence not bad the next message was a video mom sent of
01:21:11Chloe
01:21:11dancing that afternoon when I got home I found a dusty letter among a pile of bills and flyers on
01:21:16the coffee
01:21:16table it said congratulations mr. and mrs. Hayes your daughter Mallory Hayes has received an honorable
01:21:22mention in the national high school mathematics olympiad two months had passed the envelope hadn't

01:21:33a facetime call from my aunt my aunt asked about Ethan's swim meet mom said he had taken second place
01:21:38in the district pride filling her voice my aunt asked about Chloe's dance competition mom said she had won
01:21:43gold at regionals and the judges had praised how steady she was off dyes how's Mallory she's applying
01:21:49to college soon too right she's doing fine third in my grade a national math olympic award in mom's
01:21:57mouth all of it became doing fine I sat at the dining table still holding the award letter that had
01:22:02been
01:22:02forgotten for two months no one asked how I had been lately no one turned to me and said Mallory
01:22:07what about
01:22:07you I went back to my room opened my laptop and started looking up colleges that would actually care
01:22:12about competition backgrounds in the end I stopped at Carnegie Mellon hundreds of miles away from home
01:22:17no one would remember me only when they needed someone to pick up my sister I opened the application
01:22:21page my fingers hovered over the screen for three seconds before I finally closed it I decided to try
01:22:28one more time if they still couldn't see me this time I would leave completely
01:22:37Mallory Ashley is coming to stay with us for a while give her your room and share with Chloe for
01:22:43now Saturday morning mom said it casually while changing shoes by the door I was sitting at the
01:22:49dining table eating cereal my spoon stopped in midair
01:22:55why my room your room gets the best natural light Ashley hasn't been feeling well lately and the
01:23:01doctor said more sunlight would be good for her Ethan's room has a window too your brother is a
01:23:05boy Ashley is a girl how could they share a room then let her stay with Chloe Chloe needs space
01:23:10to
01:23:10stretch at night your room only has a bed and a desk it's easy to clear out how long is
01:23:14she staying
01:23:15about half a month her summer program is over here I didn't argue anymore experience had taught me a long
01:23:20time ago that arguing was useless that afternoon Ashley came in dragging two large suitcases smiling sweetly
01:23:30you're here you're here come in mom was so warm as if an important guest had arrived Ashley
01:23:38pushed her suitcases into my room and looked around from the doorway auntie can this bookshelf be moved
01:23:44out I want to put a vanity mirror here of course Mallory move the bookshelf out on my bookshelf were
01:23:52three years of notebooks reference books and a few certificates it took me an hour to move
01:23:57everything into a corner of Chloe's room that night I laid a mattress on the floor of Chloe's room
01:24:04sis why don't you sleep on the bed I'll sleep on the floor no the floor is fine Ashley is
01:24:12actually okay
01:24:12don't be upset Ashley was never what upset me
01:24:18what hurt was that in this house I was always the one expected to give way
01:24:24on the third day I went back to my room to get review materials and opened the door to find
01:24:28Ashley
01:24:29flipping through my math competition notes these are yours your handwriting is so neat yeah please put
01:24:35them back I was just looking you're way too protective of this stuff she casually put the notebook back on
01:24:40the desk I glanced over and suddenly realized one was missing there was a blue one on the desk where
01:24:46is it
01:24:46I didn't touch it I didn't see it I searched for 10 minutes and finally found it in the trash
01:24:51can
01:24:51half the cover had been torn off and several pages inside were soaked with coffee the writing
01:24:56blurred into smears it was the problem-solving notebook I had been organizing since freshman year
01:25:00three years I only had that one copy Ashley this oh maybe I knocked it over when I was carrying
01:25:06coffee
01:25:06just write another one I stood in the doorway holding the drenched notebook my hands shaking
01:25:14I took the notebook back to Chloe's room and dried it page by page with a hair brewer
01:25:21where the writing was blurred I slowly filled it back in with a pencil
01:25:27I worked until one in the morning the next morning Ashley sat in my old seat chatting happily with mom
01:25:33no one asked why the circles under my eyes were so dark or what had happened last night and I
01:25:38no longer
01:25:38needed to wait for that one last time from that day on I began preparing to leave until the day
01:25:44I received my acceptance letter I knew the time had come to leave this house I packed my suitcase and
01:25:50bought a grey house ticket for the early dawn departure the next day the destination was Pittsburgh
01:25:54then I walked to the door and placed my house key on the small entryway table I left the group
01:25:59chat and
01:25:59deactivated my old phone number the screen went dark the whole world suddenly became much quieter
01:26:06later I pulled my suitcase opened the door and closed it softly behind me
01:26:14oh
