FunTranscript
00:04After I died, I walked into the soul shop.
00:09Such a tragic little life.
00:11Tell me, sweet thing, what do you want?
00:13I want a second life.
00:15Oh, that doesn't come cheap, darling.
00:17What's your offer?
00:18My ability to love.
00:19Are you sure, darling?
00:21Parents chose their adopted son over me.
00:23My twin sister hated me.
00:24My fiancรฉ cheated on me.
00:25I loved them, every single one of them.
00:27And in the end, they just watched me die.
00:29So take it.
00:30Love has brought me nothing but pain.
00:31Then it's done.
00:33Go live your life again, little wolf, without ever loving anyone.
00:36Leo.
00:37Leo.
00:38I found myself in the Silvermoon Estate.
00:40My twin sister, Lucy, was in front of me.
00:42I had returned to four years before my death.
00:44Why are you zoning out?
00:45Our new brother is here.
00:46In my first life, four years later, that same hand would slap me across the face.
00:50Leo, what's wrong?
00:51Before I could answer, the front doors swung open.
00:54My parents walked in with a little lamb between them.
00:56Finn, the adopted brother, had taken everything from me in my first life.
00:59Lucy, Leo, come meet your new brother, Finn.
01:01Lucy forgot me at once and raced towards Finn.
01:04They looked like a perfect family of four.
01:06In my last life, the sight had torn me apart.
01:09Our parents had once adored me.
01:10Lucy had once treated me like the most precious pup in Silvermoon City.
01:14Then Finn arrived.
01:15His father died saving my parents, so they took him in.
01:18Their love for me became pity for him.
01:20Their trust became suspicion of me.
01:22At 18, I caught Finn kissing my wolf fiancรฉ beneath the garden.
01:26When I confronted them, they called me unstable.
01:29Lucy kicked me into a bed of thorns.
01:32My parents sent me to a psychiatric containment ward.
01:35I died there alone.
01:36Mom!
01:36Dad, please!
01:37Mom!
01:38Dad!
01:38Now, there was no pain in my heart.
01:41Help me.
01:42Please.
01:44Only a faint, empty tingle.
01:46The soul merchant had kept his promise.
01:48I could no longer love them, which meant they could never hurt me again.
01:52Hi, big brother.
01:54Leo, come meet Finn.
01:55Without a word, I turned and walked back to my...
01:58In my last life, before Finn, Lucy and I had been the Silvermoon Twins.
02:01We belonged to one of the wealthiest wolf families in Silvermoon City.
02:04Our father, Alpha Richard, commanded the Silvermoon Metropolitan Guard.
02:07Our mother, Luna Catherine, sat on the Silvermoon City Council.
02:10No gift had been too expensive for us.
02:12At 12, Lucy used her prize money from the Junior Engineering Championship to buy me a black Opus watch.
02:19It became the last birthday gift I ever received.
02:22After Finn arrived, every present meant for me somehow ended up in his room.
02:26Later, he broke that watch.
02:27Before I could say a word, he burst into tears.
02:29I only wanted to look at it.
02:31I've never owned anything beautiful.
02:32Stop upsetting Finn over some worthless trinket.
02:35But you're the one who gave it to me.
02:38This time, I opened my storage wall and packed everything valuable into a security case.
02:43The black Opus watch went in first.
02:45Mother knocked after I finished.
02:46Sweetheart, dinner is ready.
02:48When I stepped inside the dining, Finn was sitting in my chair.
02:52Try the Honeycrusp apples from Orchard District.
02:54I know they were your favorite.
02:55And I got you clover cakes from Meadow District and fresh mountain berry.
03:00Am I eating on the floor?
03:02Of course not.
03:03I forgot to have another chair brought in.
03:06I'm sorry.
03:07I didn't know I'd taken Leo's seat.
03:09I'll give it back to him.
03:11Leo, you can sit anywhere.
03:12Stop scaring him.
03:13Our parents watched me instead of correcting him.
03:17They expected a scene.
03:18In my first life, I had given them one.
03:21This time, I dragged a chair to the far end of the table and ate in silence.
03:26When I stood to leave, father stopped me.
03:29Leo, wait.
03:30Finn has a year behind since losing his father.
03:33We want you and Lucy to repeat your current level with him.
03:37Finn needs his family beside him.
03:39Lucy already agreed.
03:40So that was it.
03:42They were asking me to throw away an entire Academy year for Finn again.
03:46In my first life, I agreed.
03:49Lucy and I gave up our places in the Honors Program and repeated the year with Finn.
03:53One year later, my childhood fiancรฉ joined our class.
03:57Serena Gray, heir to the powerful Gray Wolf family.
04:00From that day on, the three of them made every Academy day a nightmare.
04:05I don't know why Leo hates me so much.
04:07Why can't you leave him alone?
04:09Serena always pulled me aside after class.
04:11I know you're not a bad person, Leo.
04:14Just try to be nicer to him.
04:16But in public, she always took Finn's side.
04:19By graduation, everyone believed I was a jealous monster.
04:22So this time, I tilted my head at my parents.
04:25He needs two personal servants just to attend class?
04:29What did you say?
04:30Lucy already volunteered.
04:31Why do you need me?
04:32No one is asking you to serve him.
04:34We want you to bond as brothers.
04:35I'm not required to bond with him.
04:38Lucy stared at me as if I had become a stranger.
04:40You two can repeat level nine with him.
04:42I'm moving on to level ten.
04:44I went upstairs as Finn began to cry.
04:49At nine that night, Lucy knocked on my door.
04:52Leo, can you awake?
04:53What do you want?
04:54Can you open the door?
04:56No.
04:57You're upset because I paid attention to Finn today.
04:59I'm not upset.
05:00He has no one.
05:01He's scared.
05:02I'm worried the other students will target him.
05:04I continued packing my clothes.
05:06I'll repeat level nine with him for one academic cycle.
05:09Then I'll take the advancement exams and catch up with you, okay?
05:12Okay?
05:13You don't need my permission.
05:14Leo, I'm not...
05:15I put on my noise-cancering headphones.
05:17Her voice vanished.
05:19The next morning, I carried my travel case downstairs.
05:22Serena Gray was waiting in the living room.
05:24The young wolf was already taller than Lucy.
05:27Leo, I came to take you to the academy.
05:29You never need to pick me up again.
05:31Why?
05:32Leo, where are you going?
05:33Oh, I forgot to tell you.
05:35Starting today, I'm moving into the school dorms.
05:37What?
05:40Is someone here making you unhappy?
05:42Tell your father this isn't about Finn.
05:45You like your brother, don't you?
05:46They all waited.
05:47They wanted me to say Finn was innocent.
05:48They wanted me to take the blame for leaving.
05:50But disappointing them had become easy.
05:52No.
05:53I don't like him.
05:54I don't only dislike Finn.
05:56I dislike all of you.
05:58Send me back to the refugee station.
06:00Leo hates me.
06:01I don't deserve a family.
06:03My parents rushed to reassure him.
06:09Take your own car.
06:11No.
06:11I'm going with you.
06:17In my first life, Serena had been my last safe place.
06:20Let them choose Finn.
06:22I'll always choose you.
06:23When everyone accused me.
06:24I believed her.
06:25Then on our 16th birthday, Finn collapsed at the party.
06:29Serena's hired therapist claimed that hearing my birth name worsened Finn's trauma disorder.
06:33My parents erased the name Leo Vale from every identity record.
06:37They renamed me Eclipse, a name created to bless him.
06:41Serena held me down while the clerk replaced my name in the pack registry.
06:45Now she sat beside me, smiling as if she had never betrayed me.
06:49In 40 minutes, I would make sure she could never follow me again.
06:53At the school admin office, I transferred my housing emonents and signed the dorm contract.
06:59You're serious?
07:00I've been serious all morning.
07:01Why do you hate me?
07:02What did I do?
07:03Her voice sounded hurt, like the older Serena who had pinned me against a wall and closed
07:08her hand around my throat.
07:10Before first period, I submitted a class transfer request through my phone.
07:15Minutes later, it was approved.
07:17I transferred from Honors Class 1 to Honors Class 2.
07:21After the first lesson, I carried my course tablets down the corridor.
07:25Leo, don't switch classes!
07:26And that's when a basketball threw the open classroom door.
07:28Inside Class 2, a girl still had one hand raised from the throw.
07:31She was broad-shouldered, even at 14.
07:34Blaze draped the academy's most notorious troublemaker.
07:37Sorry, my hand slipped.
07:38Best open seat in the room.
07:39Take it.
07:40The instructor said someone had to help the new student.
07:43The tips of her ears turned red.
07:46Thanks, but I prefer sitting alone.
07:47I'll take the last wall.
07:49Then take my desk.
07:50I'll sit back there.
07:51You're too short to see anything from the last row.
07:53You're coming back with me.
07:54Move.
07:55No.
07:56She said move.
07:58Are you always this pathetic, or is today special?
08:01Serena looked at me, waiting for me to defend her.
08:04I began arranging my tablets instead.
08:07Class is starting.
08:08Get out.
08:08I'll wait for you.
08:09Don't.
08:11Wait.
08:11You're talking to me?
08:13I meant to do that.
08:14You're welcome.
08:14The next morning, Blaze switched desks with me.
08:17I told her the desk was disinfected every hour.
08:20She refused to listen.
08:21You're obviously obsessed with being clean.
08:23Sit in front.
08:24Over the following weeks, she showed me around Class 2.
08:27She even took my classroom maintenance shifts.
08:30So, when our instructor asked me to tutor her, I agreed.
08:33Academy life settled into a routine.
08:35Using memories from my first life, I studied pack formation strategy, territorial mapping,
08:40and predator evasion years ahead of schedule.
08:43On weekends, I registered for wilderness survival modules and mountain expedition camps.
08:48My parents visited at first.
08:50Then they came less often.
08:51Their phone calls were always about Finn.
08:53Finn misses you.
08:54Will you come home this rest cycle?
08:56No.
08:57Lucy came every day.
08:59She carried hot food from home across two school districts.
09:02Sometimes Finn followed her.
09:03Leo is exhausting himself for you.
09:06Why won't you repeat level 9 with us?
09:08I never asked either of you to come.
09:10Serena often came with her.
09:12She no longer begged me to speak to her.
09:14She only watched me through the classroom window.
09:16I ignored them both.
09:17But every time Blaze saw them, her eyes narrowed.
09:20And somehow, another basketball always flew toward...
09:23Two years passed.
09:24On the day before my 16th birthday, my parents and Lucy came to the academy.
09:28You're almost taller than I am.
09:30You haven't come home in so long.
09:32We decorated the estate.
09:34Come home tomorrow.
09:34Invite your whole class.
09:36Last year, we waited all night.
09:38Last year, Blaze had taken me to an indoor climbing park.
09:41After climbing to the highest platform, we raced side by side on twin crimson zip lines.
09:47Can you stop locking yourself away for one day?
09:49It's your birthday.
09:50Try smiling.
09:51I tried.
09:51Happy birthday, Leo.
09:52The wind in the dome had loosened something tight inside my chest.
09:56This year, I looked past my family.
09:58Finn had both hands wrapped around Serena's arm.
10:00The memory of losing my name made nausea rise in my throat.
10:04She brought me here.
10:05I was looking for you.
10:06I don't care.
10:07I already have plans.
10:11Did we make a mistake?
10:12The next night, class two turned off the lights.
10:15Open it.
10:16Inside was Midnight Star, a ring set with diamond fragments shimmering like a galaxy.
10:21In my first life, I had seen the same piece at Silver Moon's most exclusive auction.
10:25I wanted to buy it for Mother.
10:27Finn bid against me until Mother purchased it for him instead.
10:30Everyone told me I already had enough.
10:32Finn wore it every day just to torment me.
10:35Now, it lay in my hand three years early.
10:37You stared at a cheap ring in a market window.
10:39I thought this one would last longer.
10:42I love it.
10:43My heart gave one slow, impossible beat.
10:45The soul merchant had taken my love.
10:48So why was it waking up for Blaze?
10:50After my birthday, the Silver Moon family stopped visiting.
10:53Even Lucy and Serena stopped coming.
10:55I learned why from Tessa, class two's unofficial information broker.
10:58Finn is sick.
11:00Really sick.
11:01What happened?
11:02Your mother suggested sending him to Meadowbrook Recovery Academy.
11:05Finn completely lost it.
11:06He screams whenever your parents leave the room.
11:09He even threatened to slit his own throat.
11:11He won't let Lucy attend class.
11:13Whenever she tries to leave, he grabs her wrist.
11:15He's already broken it several times.
11:17Finn had become exactly like me in my first life.
11:20The less attention he received, the harder he fought for it.
11:22But there was one difference.
11:24When I broke down, my family punished me.
11:26When Finn did it, they stayed beside him.
11:28It had nothing to do with me anymore.
11:30Without interruptions, I dragged all of class two into studying for the honors track placement trials.
11:35Anyone who tried to skip practice met Blaze at the door.
11:39Sit down, or I'll use you for combat training.
11:42Six months later, every student in our class earned a place at Silver Moon Central Academy.
11:47During winter break, I joined the Draven family on an expedition to Frost Peak, the highest ice-covered mountain outside
11:53Silver Moon.
11:53Blaze's parents were legendary rescue climbers.
11:56They spent their lives navigating frozen mountain ranges and unstable disaster zones.
12:01Captain Meera Draven wrapped a thermal blanket around me at base camp.
12:04My beautiful little wolf, why couldn't you have been my son?
12:08Because I'm your child.
12:10Yes, unfortunately the universe gave me a giant female wolf instead of a lovely son.
12:14At the summit station, Blaze wrapped her scarf around me to block the frozen wind.
12:19Blaze's ears turned red for the first time.
12:22She did not look away.
12:24I did not enroll at Silver Moon Crown School.
12:26It was owned by my family.
12:28That decision shattered Lucy.
12:29She finally left Finn behind and accelerated through two academic levels.
12:33She expected to meet me in the senior division.
12:35On registration day, she and Serena searched the entire incoming student registry.
12:39My name was not there.
12:40Finn's grades were poor.
12:42He could barely pass the junior curriculum.
12:43Still, he forced father to buy him a provisional seat in Lucy's class.
12:47Serena tried to follow me to Silver Moon Central.
12:50Her family locked her inside their estate instead.
12:53Before winter break, I had already returned our childhood engagement token to her father.
12:57It was a moonstone watch.
12:59Please keep your daughter away from me.
13:01A childhood agreement between two families is not consent.
13:05I reject the engagement.
13:06After that, the Gray family cut contact with the Silver Moons.
13:09My parents, Lucy and Serena, still flooded my phone with calls.
13:12Silver Moon Central blocked personal devices during training hours.
13:16I also registered every one of them as an unwanted visitor.
13:19Over the next three years, I saw the Silver Moons fewer than five times.
13:23Then came the Silver Moon Emergency Services Academy entrance trials.
13:26Blaze and I completed pack formation drills, crisis strategy, territorial combat, and live rescue assessments together.
13:33When I left the examination hall, my parents were waiting.
13:36They looked ten years older.
13:37Leo, I miss you.
13:39Please let me hold you.
13:41You miss me?
13:42You already have the perfect daughter and the gentle son.
13:44Why would you miss me?
13:46No, that isn't real.
13:47It was a dream.
13:48What did you do to your mother?
13:50I'm standing two meters away.
13:51Don't hit him.
13:52Leo, our boy.
13:54I stood beside her, taller than every other candidate.
13:56Her broad, black-furred shoulders rose behind her.
13:59Mrs. Vance waved.
14:00Leo, over here.
14:01I ran toward them without looking back.
14:03The Dravens planned to leave for a Frost Peak re-expedition two days after the trials.
14:08Captain Draven drove the Family Rescue SUV.
14:11Mira sang badly in the front seat.
14:13Blaze and I fell asleep in the back.
14:15Just as the SUV began to leave, it came to an abrupt stop, throwing us against our seatbelts.
14:20Someone had stepped into the estate's private driveway.
14:23It was Lucy.
14:23I had not seen her for a full cycle.
14:25She was barely recognizable.
14:27Move.
14:28This lane is active.
14:29Leo, forgive us.
14:31Please come home, mother, and she keeps calling for you.
14:33Blaze, stop.
14:33For one terrifying second, her rage felt familiar.
14:36Not the anger of a protective classmate.
14:38The fury of someone who had already watched me die.
14:41I agreed to return to the Silver Moon.
14:43That wasn't me.
14:44I didn't kick you.
14:45I'm sorry.
14:46I pretended not to hear.
14:47I know you.
14:48You were there.
14:49What is she talking about?
14:50She's clearly lost her mind.
14:52But beneath my fingers, the wolf's pulse was racing.
14:54The Silver Moon estate looked like a war zone.
14:57Threats had been burned across the gates.
14:59Liars.
14:59Traitors.
15:00Your bloodline ends here.
15:02We're leaving.
15:03She needs to see how this ends.
15:05Where are they?
15:06Father is in intensive care.
15:08Mother is upstairs.
15:09Finn is in a secure psychiatric ward.
15:11You lied.
15:11You said they were all here.
15:12Mother really is dying.
15:15The upstairs doors burst open.
15:17Mother stumbled out.
15:18My Leo.
15:19Did it hurt?
15:21Were you afraid?
15:22Her hands searched for wounds that did not exist in this life.
15:24I should have held you.
15:26I should never have let those officers take you.
15:28My breath stopped.
15:29She remembered.
15:30In my first life, I had clung to the estate doors while psychiatric officers dragged me away.
15:34I begged Mother for one last hug.
15:37She had looked at me with disgust.
15:38Bloodline.
15:38She said I was the shame of the Silver Moon bloodline.
15:41You aren't crying for me.
15:42What?
15:43You're crying because you finally remember the kind of-
15:46I remember too.
15:47I remember the thorns.
15:49I remember kicking you into them.
15:51We called an ambulance for Mother while we waited.
15:53Lucy told me what had happened.
15:55Three years earlier, Mother suggested sending Finn to a residential treatment center.
16:00Finn stopped pretending to be gentle.
16:02He cut his arms with crystal shards, then accused the family of driving him to it.
16:06At night, he entered our parents' room carrying a blade.
16:09My father trusted you with me.
16:11If you send me away, I'll die in front of you.
16:13After that, no one dared suggest sending him away again.
16:16They watched him constantly.
16:17Not because they loved him.
16:19Because they feared him.
16:20Finn still demanded more.
16:21If Lucy left the room, he screamed until his voice broke.
16:25He struck her face when she tried to return to class.
16:28Serena stopped visiting after he injured her.
16:30Then, Mother began recovering memories from our first life.
16:34She sat alone and whispered my name.
16:36Leo, my Leo.
16:37Finn thought Mother was calling him.
16:39For the first time, Finn understood there was another son inside Mother's mind.
16:43A son she could never replace.
16:45The medical team arrived.
16:47Don't let them take my eclipse away.
16:50First, I am no longer your son.
16:52Second, my name is Leo.
16:54I hate the name you carved into me for Finn.
16:55You didn't raise children.
16:56You put two boys in a cage and rewarded whichever one begged harder for your love.
17:00Why adopt a grieving child if you could not love us fairly?
17:02Did you enjoy watching us fight for scraps?
17:04Beyond the ruined garden, someone watched us.
17:06A wolf limped toward the outer gate.
17:09Serena.
17:09The moment I recognized her, the world tilted.
17:12Someone kept calling my name.
17:13Leo, open your eyes.
17:14Why was she calling me Leo?
17:16My name was Eclipse.
17:17A voice cut through the darkness.
17:19Younger.
17:20Familiar.
17:20Your real name is Leo.
17:22That's beautiful.
17:23Memories flooded through me.
17:24Not from this life.
17:25From the psychiatric ward in my last life.
17:28I saw 18-year-old Blaze strapped to a treatment platform.
17:31Blaze Duravin admitted after attacking three officers following her parents' deaths.
17:35How dare they call my parents reckless?
17:39That was how I first saw her.
17:43Days later, Serena cornered me in the ward corridor.
17:46Get off me.
17:47He said no!
17:49They dragged Blaze back to the treatment platform.
17:52I've survived worse than a little voltage.
17:56Later that night.
18:01Did that wolf do this?
18:04No.
18:05Then who?
18:06Blaze's expression darkened.
18:07Sound like your family locked up the wrong sibling.
18:10I'm Blaze.
18:11What's your name?
18:14I don't know.
18:15I don't have a name of my own anymore.
18:17What does that mean?
18:19My family erased Leo from the registries.
18:21They renamed me Eclipse.
18:22Your real name is Leo.
18:24That's beautiful.
18:25She was the only person who called me by my real name before I died.
18:28Whenever the ward grew quiet, she held my hand through the narrow gap beneath the-
18:32You deserve to be loved, Leo.
18:33No.
18:34I don't.
18:35If I did, my family wouldn't have thrown me away.
18:37They failed you.
18:39That doesn't mean there's something wrong with you.
18:41Then came my final night.
18:42Blood filled my lungs.
18:44Help!
18:44Somebody help him!
18:46No one came.
18:48Leo, look at me.
18:49Keep your eyes open.
18:50Please.
18:50I can't lose you.
18:51Leo, don't close your eyes.
18:52I can't lose you again.
18:53Words echoed through the fog again.
18:55Did that mean Blaze had come back too?
18:57Before I could understand what that meant, another wave of memories dragged me deeper into the fog.
19:02Memories of what happened after my death.
19:04After I died, Blaze escaped the psychiatric ward.
19:07She broke into the Silver Moon Estate and burned it to the ground.
19:09My parents, Lucy and Serena, died in the flames.
19:12Then Blaze returned to the ruined ward.
19:14She pressed a glass shard to her throat.
19:16When she died, we met in the fog between lives.
19:18I did not recognize her then.
19:20The soul merchant had already taken my ability to love.
19:23Why didn't I meet you sooner?
19:24If you live again, stay away from them.
19:26Love yourself more than anyone else.
19:27At the counter, the soul merchant examined my contract.
19:30He surrendered every loving instinct for one rebirth.
19:33Then make another trade.
19:34Take my complete soul.
19:36Give him the ability to love back.
19:38You would cease to exist.
19:39He cannot lose his ability to love.
19:41He needs it to love himself.
19:43Let's make a wager instead.
19:44He promised to send us both back.
19:46He would erase every memory I had of Blaze.
19:48Blaze would remember everything, but cosmic law would stop her from revealing the future.
19:52I wager he will beg for his family's affection again.
19:55You will watch him repeat every mistake.
19:57You cannot interfere until every fate has changed.
19:59If he learns to love himself, you both keep your souls.
20:02If he fails, yours belongs to me.
20:04He'll win.
20:05Memory vanished.
20:06I woke in an ambulance with my hand over Blaze's heart.
20:08Now I knew why it beat for me.
20:10My body couldn't withstand the flood of returning memories.
20:13Darkness swallowed me again.
20:14Three days later, I woke up.
20:16Blaze was asleep beside my bed.
20:18Blaze.
20:20You're awake.
20:21The doctor said your nervous system overloaded.
20:24Do you feel pain?
20:24Should I call someone?
20:25I remember the ward.
20:26I remember the fire and the soul merchant.
20:29You weren't supposed to remember me.
20:30You wagered your soul for my heart.
20:32I made a wager.
20:33You were prepared to trade it.
20:35You died believing no one loved you.
20:36I couldn't allow that to be the end of your story.
20:38My chest hurt, but this pain was different.
20:40It was warm, alive.
20:41Why didn't you tell me?
20:43Every time I tried, this burned through my chest.
20:45I could protect you from danger.
20:46I could not make your choices for you.
20:48The basketball?
20:49Accident.
20:50Ugh, fine.
20:51That one was...
20:52Two months later, Blaze and I entered Silvermoon Emergency Academy together.
20:56The Silvermoon name no longer opened doors.
20:58Father lost command of the Metropolitan Guard after the council confirmed he had bought Finn's
21:02senior placement and hidden his attacks.
21:04Mother entered long-term psychiatric treatment.
21:06Lucy withdrew from the entrance trials.
21:08She sent me one final message.
21:09I won't ask you to forgive me again.
21:11I'm going somewhere I can learn who I am without making a broder my entire purpose.
21:15I did not reply, but I did not block her either.
21:17Serena was sent somewhere far away from the city.
21:20Finn remained in a secure psychiatric facility.
21:22For the first time, their endings did not belong to me.
21:25Blaze and I used our free hours to build the Draven Urban Rescue Corps.
21:28We trained civilian rescuers to survive tunnel collapses, mountain blizzards, and failed
21:32suspension bridges.
21:34Meera and Captain Draven became its first directors.
21:37In our previous life, they had died rescuing climbers from a collapsing ridge on Frost Peak.
21:41Blaze remembered the exact date.
21:43When it arrived, she tried to stop their expedition helicopter from taking off.
21:47You do not protect people by locking them away from everything they love.
21:50I understood before Blaze did.
21:51Let them fly.
21:52We'll give them a better team.
21:53That night, an emergency signal came from Frost Peak.
21:56Three climbers were trapped above a collapsing ice shelf.
21:59In the first life, the Dravens reached them alone.
22:02This time, twelve rescue helicopters arrived together.
22:04Blaze and I coordinated from the Mountain Command Center.
22:07Meera secured the last climber seconds before the ridge broke.
22:10Every rescue tracker remained green.
22:13Blaze stared at the display.
22:14Then, the strongest wolf at the academy dropped to her knees.
22:17In our second life, no one...
22:19The rescue made headlines across the five territories.
22:21Blaze pretended she was unaffected by the attention.
22:24She was not.
22:25Every time someone called her parents heroes, her chest swelled with pride.
22:28Our first year passed quickly.
22:30I ranked first in crisis strategy.
22:32Blaze ranked first in combat and last in public negotiation.
22:35After class, I found her waiting outside with two drinks.
22:38Blaze handed me a snow milk latte.
22:40Briary?
22:40Courtship?
22:41I nearly dropped the cup.
22:42The tips of her ears turned red.
22:44I loved you before.
22:45That does not mean you owe me anything now.
22:47She forced herself to meet my eyes.
22:48I can wait until this life ends, too, if that's what you need.
22:51That is a terrible courtship speech.
22:54Her broad shoulders sagged.
22:56I stepped closer.
22:57You forgot to ask what I want.
23:00Blaze swallowed.
23:02What do you want?
23:03I placed her hand over my heart.
23:05It beat hard beneath her palm.
23:06I want to choose you.
23:08Not because you saved me.
23:09I touched the midnight star ring still on my finger.
23:12Because you gave me space to save myself.
23:14Her eyes turned molten gold.
23:17May I kiss you?
23:18You may.
23:19Her strong arms closed around me.
23:22Before her mouth touched mine, my heart raced.
23:24The soul merchant had never truly returned my ability to love.
23:27Blaze had only protected the part of me.
23:29That still possessed it.
23:30It had grown quietly with every decision I made for myself.
23:32I was never empty.
23:33I'd simply stopped pouring love into people who treated it like blood.
23:36Blaze lowered her forehead to mine.
23:38So is that a yes?
23:41It's a yes, idiot.
23:44Her triumphant roar shook every window in the corridor.
23:48Four years later, Blaze and I graduated from Silver Moon Emergency Academy.
23:53Our first mission as licensed rescue captains took us back to Frost Peak.
23:57The mountain rose above the frozen clouds north of Silver Moon.
24:00Below us, blue glaciers covered the valley like shattered glass.
24:03This time, I felt no fear, no anger, no need to prove that I deserved to stand there.
24:08I had a family waiting at base camp.
24:10I had a rescue fleet carrying my crest.
24:12And I had a wolf climbing beside me.
24:14At the summit, Blaze removed her oxygen mask.
24:16Wolves could endure the brutal climb longer than most.
24:19Does it hurt?
24:20Not at all.
24:21Your chest isn't burning?
24:23The soul merchant's contract is definitely gone.
24:27Definitely?
24:28No dizziness.
24:30There is one problem.
24:32What?
24:33My heart is beating very fast.
24:35In the box was a ring made from Midnight Star.
24:38Leo Silver Moon, you changed every fate the universe wrote for you.
24:41Will you choose me for the rest of this one?
24:43My phone suddenly displayed a live feed from base camp.
24:46You told everyone?
24:48I needed witnesses in case you threw me off the mountain.
24:51Yes.
24:52In my first life, I died begging to be loved.
24:55In my second, I learned the truth.
24:58Love was never something I had to earn through pain.
25:01And no one would ever take my name, my heart, or my future from me again.
