00:27To be continued...
00:56Where are we?
01:02My home.
01:03Our home for the next year.
01:05You will stay here with me every single day.
01:10One year.
01:11You live here.
01:12All your daily schedule will follow my orders.
01:18No personal social life?
01:20Answer every call immediately?
01:22These rules are far too harsh for me.
01:24You will quit your old job.
01:26No friends.
01:27No dates.
01:29You are mine to command.
01:31No one else can take up your time except me.
01:34This is not fair.
01:35I'm not a slave.
01:36I still deserve my own personal freedom.
01:40You have zero choices right now.
01:42Your debt ties you to me completely.
01:44Sign it.
01:46Fine.
01:47I have no other choice at all.
01:55Why me?
01:57Do you believe in coincidences, Lina?
02:00Nothing related to you is ever accidental.
02:09I've watched you for months.
02:10Every day.
02:11Every move.
02:12I memorized every small detail about you.
02:15You investigated me.
02:17That's stalking.
02:18How dare you dig up all my private information secretly.
02:25I see everything.
02:27And I want your pure light.
02:29It's the only thing in this world that isn't tainted.
02:40No.
02:41Let go of me.
02:42Stop chasing me, please.
02:44Ah!
02:45Ah!
02:46It was that terrible nightmare again.
02:53Who's there?
02:54Don't come any closer.
02:57Allora, what are you doing here?
02:59I didn't call for you at all.
03:02Did you dream of them again?
03:04Those rats in the alley?
03:06I could hear you screaming through the hallway.
03:09Go back to sleep.
03:11I will not disturb you.
03:13Are you staying?
03:14You plan to stay here all night?
03:16You are mine.
03:18I won't let you suffer alone.
03:20Those nightmares will haunt you without anyone beside you.
03:24This isn't in the contract.
03:27There's no rule requiring you to stay with me at midnight.
03:32Consider it a new clause.
03:34Effective immediately.
03:36I have the right to add any rules I see fit.
03:41Why are you so warm, yet so cold?
03:46One minute you comfort me, the next you bind me with strict rules.
03:55Finish this.
03:56We're leaving for Voss Group in 20 minutes.
03:59The Archexure department will be ready for your arrival.
04:06An internship?
04:08In your company?
04:19I never dared to apply for such a top-to-be firm.
04:22You trust me with this important work?
04:24My portfolio is far less outstanding than other applicants.
04:28Trust.
04:29Hardly.
04:31Ordinary interns never catch my attention at all.
04:35I simply prefer my possessions where I can see them.
04:38I can keep an eye on you every single day.
04:51Everyone's staring.
04:53They're all wondering why I'm walking beside you.
04:57Busy?
04:57Or just pretending to be busy for the cameras?
05:00Everyone knows you only got this internship through special treatment.
05:04I'm working on the Riverside Project as assigned.
05:07I will follow every work task given by the department supervisor.
05:11The Riverside Project.
05:13Don't embarrass yourself.
05:15Don't rely on your mysterious backer to get ahead.
05:17I will destroy your design.
05:19And there's nothing a little connection can do about it.
05:22I don't need anyone's pity or unfair judgment.
05:26Brave words.
05:27Let's see how long that stubborn attitude of yours lasts.
05:49You heard what just went down.
05:51Chloe's always been sharp with people.
05:53Let me help you touch up this drawing.
05:54It's okay, really.
05:56I can redo it myself.
05:57I don't want to make my work someone else's problem.
06:04You really think it's good?
06:06I thought my drafts were way too rough for a project like this.
06:10Absolutely.
06:11You have real talent, Leila.
06:13Don't let anyone dull your light.
06:17Dull her light.
06:22That light is mine to admire.
06:25Mine alone.
06:37Trying to run off?
06:38The elevator won't get here at that clask.
06:40You think you can sneak out right under my nose without a sound?
06:45I-I wasn't running.
06:46Just going home.
06:48All my work for today is finished.
06:49I have no reason to stay.
06:50You smiled warmly at him today.
06:52That smile.
06:53It looked very sweet.
06:55I watched every second of that interaction from my office.
07:04My heart.
07:05My heart.
07:06It's beating too fast.
07:08I can't calm down at all when you stand this close.
07:13Is it fear?
07:14Or sell me something else.
07:16Tell me what's making your pulse rate so wildly.
07:19I-I don't know.
07:21Every time you look at me like this, I lose all my thoughts.
07:30You will.
07:32Now come home.
07:35The city never sleeps, and neither do I.
07:38Every single night, I end up hanging out here all by myself.
07:41I've lived in nothing but endless darkness my entire life.
07:45Not a single light's ever stayed by my side for long.
07:49Don't pity me.
07:50Fleeting kindness isn't something I need to live on.
07:53Still, just tonight.
07:56Let me hold on to this moment a bit more.
08:07Wait a sec.
08:17Alara?
08:21It's chilly outside.
08:22This will help you drift off.
08:24What's this for?
08:26Just some warm hot cocoa.
08:30Warm cocoa.
08:35I haven't felt this kind of warmth in a very long time.
08:38Everybody deserves a little warmth, Alara.
08:40You included.
08:41Care is a liability.
08:42It makes one weak.
08:44Maybe weakness isn't so bad.
08:47If it's shared.
08:49Don't plant hope in me.
08:51Hope is the cruelest trap of all.
08:59Finally.
09:00It's done.
09:02What?
09:04She changed the whole brief now?
09:09No.
09:10Chloe, you can't do this to me.
09:20Fine.
09:21I'll finish it myself.
09:26Is that the intern who got in through connections?
09:29This part isn't finished.
09:31Neither is this one.
09:32What exactly did you do all night?
09:34You sent me a completely new brief at two in the morning.
09:37And you locked me out of the project folder.
09:39So, real designers deal with last minute changes all the time.
09:43The presentation is this afternoon.
09:45Can you finish it or not?
09:47I can finish it, but I need access to the original structural files.
09:50Always an excuse.
09:52Maybe you're just not good enough for this project.
09:54The whole team can't keep waiting for one intern.
09:57I worked all night.
09:59Just give me the files, and I'll prove I can do it.
10:12Who approved the new brief?
10:19I adjusted it for the client.
10:22We needed something stronger.
10:24That wasn't my question.
10:25Who approved it?
10:28Let go.
10:29You're hurting yourself.
10:31I really tried to finish everything.
10:33I know.
10:33Look at me.
10:35You don't have to defend yourself alone.
10:37The client never requested these changes.
10:39Chloe changed the brief on her own and gave Lila less than seven hours.
10:43I was only testing whether she could handle pressure.
10:46You don't test talent by tying someone's hands.
10:48Then what do we do about the presentation?
10:50We used Lila's original proposal.
10:52Give her full access and two hours to prepare.
10:54The two hours may still be too short.
10:57Are you able to finish it?
10:58If you stay by my side and support me, I can take up this challenge.
11:02I'll stay right beside you and keep encouraging you.
11:08Chloe uploaded the new brief at 2.07 a.m.
11:11Three minutes later, she removed Lila's editing access and blocked the structural files.
11:15The client never requested any of those changes.
11:17Chloe made them up herself.
11:18She set Lila up to fail, then humiliated her in front of the team.
11:22We also found that she downloaded Lila's original design before locking the folder.
11:26Should I suspend her access now?
11:27Not yet.
11:28Let her repeat her story in front of everyone.
11:31And Lila, make sure she has everything she needs and bring her something to eat.
11:37Are we really letting an unfinished intern proposal waste the judge's time?
11:44Take your time.
11:47I'm right here.
11:50Chloe says the original proposal didn't meet the updated brief.
12:11The client didn't change the brief.
12:14You did.
12:16I was trying to improve the project that's part of my job.
12:22You didn't have approval, and you deliberately blocked Lila's access.
12:30I wanted to see how she handled a real crisis.
12:37No.
12:38You wanted her to fail.
12:41So Lila was telling the truth.
12:44Chloe created the whole problem herself.
12:50Allura, it was one mistake.
12:52You don't need to make this such a big deal.
13:00Look around.
