FunTranscript
00:00My mom loved me more than anyone in the world, but she disappeared 10 years ago, right after she left
00:05to pick up my birthday gift.
00:07Ever since then, my dad has hated me.
00:10He blames me for her disappearance.
00:12He can't stand my face, because I look nothing like the woman he loved most.
00:16He adopted a girl who's a dead ringer for my mom, Serafina.
00:20He gave her all the love that should have been mine, and all the love he had for my mother.
00:24He threw her luxurious birthday parties, put her on a family reality show, and told the whole world she was
00:29the sole Whitmore heir.
00:30Meanwhile, I wore clothes that never fit, and lived in the staff quarters of my own home.
00:35He let Serafina bully me, slander me, push me into a lake, even though I couldn't swim.
00:39You deserved it.
00:40Until my 16th birthday.
00:42That's when my mom came back, and my dad drowned in regret.
00:45My 16th birthday was three days away.
00:47Every year on this day, my dad threw Serafina a birthday party.
00:50Every kid in my class got a party invite.
00:52Everyone but me, Serafina stopped by my desk.
00:55Fake sympathy plastered all over her face.
00:57Arabella, don't take it personally.
00:58The butler probably just missed your invite.
01:00I kept my head down over my book and didn't reply.
01:03I'd endured her petty tricks for ten years.
01:06I was long used to it.
01:09Sarah!
01:10Why are you even explaining to her?
01:12You're too nice, that's why she just walks all over you.
01:15Exactly!
01:15She's just a staff kid living off your family's charity.
01:18Mr. Whitworth even pays her tuition, and instead of being grateful, she steals from you.
01:22If it were me, I'd have thrown her out.
01:24Oh, come on.
01:25Let's not be too harsh.
01:27Such a parasite!
01:29She's just jealous.
01:30Jealous that you're rich, pretty, talented, and everyone loves you.
01:34She shouldn't even show up to the party.
01:36Who knows what she'll do.
01:37Don't let her ruin your day.
01:38She lives on the estate, right?
01:40She should be helping the staff, not attending as a guest.
01:43Fair enough!
01:46Guys, stop.
01:48I'd never make Arabella do that.
01:50It's her birthday too, after all.
01:51I wanted you to cut the cake with me, Arabella.
01:54But Dad won't allow it.
01:55And honestly, after everything you've done, I can't blame him for hating you.
01:59I grabbed my pen and threw it straight at her face.
02:02Get out!
02:10Ten years ago, my mom went missing while picking up my birthday gift.
02:13No one knew if she was alive or dead.
02:15My dad searched everywhere for her like a maniac, but he never found her.
02:19I cried for her every day too.
02:21Back then, mom really spoiled me rotten.
02:23I'd cry to get whatever I wanted.
02:25One day, the Nancy couldn't calm me down anymore.
02:28She brought me in front of my dad.
02:30He stared at me for a long time, then kicked me away hard.
02:33How dare you cry!
02:34If it weren't for your stupid birthday present, Vivalen would never have left.
02:38Don't let me see you again.
02:39Get out!
02:40Since then, I was no longer mom's little princess.
02:43I became the unwanted kid no one in this house cared about.
02:47Whether I got dinner or not depended on my Nancy's mood.
02:50Not long after, Dad brought Serafina home from foster care.
02:54She looked just like mom.
02:55When she was six, he took her on a family reality show.
02:58Meanwhile, I was abused by the nanny at home, eating expired food to survive.
03:03The day he announced to the whole world that Serafina was his only daughter.
03:07I knew I'd lost my dad.
03:09I came home with fresh bruises that day.
03:11Right after I threw the pen, Liam shoved me to the ground and my forehead hit straight into the desk
03:15corner.
03:16Everyone just watched.
03:17Cold, indifferent, even satisfied.
03:19From elementary school to high school, I've never had a single friend.
03:24Serafina isolated me completely.
03:26I didn't care.
03:27What scared me was the teacher telling me my guardian needed to come in on Monday.
03:32That same afternoon, Liam's parents showed up, fully defending their son.
03:36My boy was just protecting his classmate.
03:38Everyone saw it.
03:40She attacked Serafina first.
03:43Sweetie, are you okay?
03:45Did she hurt you?
03:46This girl is clearly unstable.
03:49She shouldn't even be at this school.
03:50Who knows what she'll do next?
03:52The school called the police.
03:54Liam was suspended, and he has to appear in court next week.
03:59I stood there with blood still on my face.
04:01If mom were here, she would have defended me.
04:04Unlike my dad, who ignored my injuries entirely, he was carefully checking Serafina's face for scratches.
04:10Arabula!
04:11Get over here.
04:12Now!
04:16You knew Sarah had a shoot tomorrow, and you still threw a pen at her face?
04:20Your mother was so gentle.
04:21How did she end up with a vicious kid like you?
04:24Sometimes I really wonder if you're even her daughter.
04:28You already ruined your mother.
04:30Now you want to ruin Sarah, too?
04:31I stared at my dad.
04:33I'd seen that same disgust in his eyes for ten years now.
04:37When mom was still here, he loved me, too.
04:40He always wished I looked more like her.
04:42But he did care about me.
04:43He used to call me the Whitmuro's most precious gem.
04:46He bought me fancy dresses and jewelry.
04:48For my fifth birthday, he gave me an entire estate in the Hamptons.
04:52Once, a kid at preschool pushed me, and it broke his heart.
04:54He made that family apologize in person, and even hired me personal self-defense trainers.
04:58He told me,
04:59If anyone bullies you, hit back.
05:01No exceptions.
05:02He promised me that mom and he would stand by me, no matter what.
05:06Now he was furiously asking why I had hurt Serafina.
05:10Go to your room and think about what you did.
05:12Don't come out without my permission.
05:13He never glanced at the fresh cut on my forehead.
05:16I never even got to tell him the school needed him on Monday,
05:18because I knew he wouldn't show up anyway.
05:21For years, the only parent-teacher conferences he's ever attended were Serafina's.
05:26I was locked in my room all night.
05:30The next day, my wound got infected.
05:33I pushed open my door to grab medicine,
05:34and saw a full film crew and cameras set up downstairs.
05:38My dad and Serafina were in the middle of an interview.
05:44Mr. Whitmore, you run a huge company and barely have free time.
05:48How do you manage to raise such a perfect daughter?
05:54My dad smiled back.
05:57That's all, Sera.
05:58She's never given me a single problem.
06:00She's my only daughter.
06:01No matter how busy I am, I always make time for her.
06:05Serafina clung to his arm, playing the doting daughter.
06:11My dad's the best dad.
06:13I wish he'd stay home more.
06:15We haven't traveled abroad this year.
06:17Fine.
06:17After your birthday party, we'll go anywhere you want.
06:19I watched the scene blankly.
06:21I've seen this a hundred times.
06:22It doesn't even hurt anymore.
06:24But my mind drifted back ten years.
06:26When my mom was here, I used to cling to her arm just like that,
06:29making silly requests.
06:30She always said yes.
06:31She had an emerald necklace she'd worn for years.
06:34Once I said I loved it,
06:36she took it off immediately and put it on me.
06:37Bella, keep it safe.
06:40It's from my mom, and now it's yours.
06:43Serafina, do you miss your mom, Vivian?
06:46She was such a talented actress.
06:47I hear you're getting into Hollywood, too.
06:50Is it to follow in her footsteps?
06:51The room went quiet for a beat.
06:54Mom's name was always a forbidden topic for my dad.
06:57Before today, anyone who brought it up would get yelled at.
07:00But this was Serafina's big debut interview.
07:03My dad was paving her way into the industry.
07:05I miss her every day.
07:07I want to be an actress just like her.
07:11She left it to me.
07:12Whenever I'm sad, I look at it, and it feels she's still with me.
07:17I froze.
07:19Rage burned through my chest.
07:20That necklace was the one mom had given me.
07:23For ten years, Serafina stole everything from me.
07:26This necklace was the only thing I had left.
07:30Arabala, who allowed you to come down?
07:32My dad's face turned dark instantly.
07:38Serafina stood up, putting on a helpless, confused act for the cameras.
07:42Arabala, what's wrong with you?
07:43When did you steal this necklace?
07:45I asked, voice shaking with anger.
07:47I checked it every night.
07:48It was still there in the box last night.
07:50It was my only proof that mom loved me.
07:52That she was real.
07:53Holding that necklace was the only thing keeping me going.
07:55Steel?
07:56What are you talking about?
07:57She looked utterly shocked and hurt.
07:58Arabala, stop causing a scene.
07:59This is a live show.
08:00My dad's voice was cold and sharp.
08:01I don't care if it's live.
08:02This is my mom's necklace.
08:03Why do you have it?
08:04I snapped.
08:05Haven't you taken enough from me already?
08:06And don't lie.
08:07My mom's not dead.
08:08Saying she left this for you.
08:10The host looked confused.
08:11Mr. Whitmore, who is this young lady?
08:13Turning to my dad.
08:14Serafina panicked, glancing at my dad for help.
08:17He destroyed me with one sentence.
08:19She's just a staff, kid.
08:21My grip on the necklace tightened.
08:22I went numb inside.
08:24He'd told the world he only had one daughter.
08:26Serafina noked me as a staff kid at school, but this was the first time he'd erased me
08:30from his family to my face.
08:32Serafina's panic faded.
08:33Now she looked smug.
08:34You're just confused, Arabala.
08:36This necklace is mine.
08:38I'll buy you any expensive thing you want, okay?
08:40But this is my mom's heirloan.
08:42I can't give it up.
08:43The whole crew stared at me, judging and confused.
08:46Everyone thought I was a crazy staff kid attacking the Whitman's princess.
08:49It's just trying to go viral.
08:52Someone muttered.
08:54I didn't care what they thought.
08:55I just wanted my necklace back.
08:57Give it back!
08:58That's mine!
09:05My mind went blank.
09:06The last thing my mom ever left me was gone.
09:09My dad stared at me like he wanted to tear me apart.
09:13Happy now?
09:13Get out of my sight.
09:14Serafina's eyes welled with fake tears.
09:18Arabella!
09:19You've gone way too far!
09:21The crew whispered their judgments.
09:23I blocked all of it out.
09:30I was targeted online.
09:32By the end of the day, the livestream clip was everywhere online.
09:36The whole internet sided with Serafina and dad.
09:39I became the psycho everyone hated.
09:41My classmates even came out with insider stories.
09:43They said the Whitmails generously paid for me to go to private school.
09:47Instead of being grateful, I bullied Serafina every single day.
09:50A staff kid really claimed it was her mom's.
09:53If her mom could afford emeralds, she wouldn't be working as a maid for the Whitmores.
09:58Poor Sera.
09:59Her mom's necklace destroyed right in front of her.
10:02That girl needs to pay.
10:05Sera looks exactly like Vivian.
10:08I loved Vivian.
10:10This breaks my heart.
10:11Vivian is my mom.
10:13This comment crushed me.
10:15If mom was here, would she feel for me?
10:18Would she choose Serafina over me, just like dad?
10:21After all, she disappeared from my birthday gift.
10:24That night was Serafina's grand sweet 16 party.
10:27My entire class attended.
10:29They banged on my locked bedroom door, laughing loudly through it, cheering Serafina on out of spite.
10:35After he left, the door opened again.
10:38It was Serafina.
10:39She held the key, staring down at me with smugness.
10:45How does it feel hearing dad call you a staff kid?
10:48You have no shame.
10:49After all this, you're still squatting in my house.
10:52You're the reason your mom vanished.
10:55Dad hates you.
10:56He wishes you'd die.
10:57He just hasn't said it out loud.
10:58I didn't reply.
10:59I just stared out the window at her lavish party.
11:02For ten years, I've watched someone else celebrate my birthday.
11:08I'm talking to you!
11:09Why didn't you die with your mom?
11:12I snapped.
11:14I didn't think.
11:15I climbed onto the windowsill and jumped straight into the lake below.
11:22Frigid water flooded my nose and ears.
11:24Before I blacked out, I thought I heard my mom's voice.
11:27Bella, Bella, my baby, mommy's here.
11:31When I woke up, I thought I must be dead.
11:32How else would I be seeing the mom I missed so much?
11:35She sat by my bed, eyes red from crying.
11:37She looked exactly how I remembered her.
11:39I then noticed there was someone else in my room.
11:41Dad stared intently at mom.
11:43He looked thrilled to have her back, yet just as daisies and stunned as I was.
11:49Who are you?
11:50I only have one daughter, Bella.
11:52Why are you calling me mom?
11:59Cassian, explain.
12:01Who is she?
12:02Your illegitimate daughter?
12:04Dad finally snapped out of his days, scrambling.
12:07Vivian, Sarah's a kid I adopted from foster care.
12:12Adopted?
12:14You're so generous.
12:16You spoil and orphan rotten while your own daughter lives in a room like this.
12:21I was only gone for a few years, and this is how you took care of Bella?
12:25And what's with that banner outside?
12:27Today's Bella's birthday.
12:29Why does it say Serafina?
12:31I'm so sorry, Vivian.
12:34Please don't be mad.
12:35I'll get Arabella moved back into her old room right now.
12:38Arrange her room now.
12:39What about Serafina's stuff?
12:41Put them in any empty room.
12:44Dad!
12:47Vivian, is this okay?
12:49She looked at me, asking silently.
12:52That was when I was sure mom was really back.
12:56Mom, I don't want to stay here anymore.
12:58Can you take me away?
13:04Okay.
13:05Once you feel better, we're leaving.
13:10I dreamed of mom coming back a thousand times.
13:13Now she was here, holding me in my tiny bed, apologizing over and over.
13:18She told me the truth about ten years ago.
13:20I was rescued and transferred to a private medical facility.
13:23My injuries were severe.
13:25When I woke, I had lost all my memories.
13:28Yesterday, she saw me in the necklace in the live stream, and every memory came rushing back.
13:33So she rushed straight home to me.
13:35Mom, you won't leave me again, right?
13:38Never.
13:39I'll be with you forever.
13:42I heard a faint noise.
13:44It was Dad standing at the door.
13:46Sleep well, Bella.
13:47Don't be afraid.
13:48From now on, I'll be here every morning when you wake up.
13:51When she found out I'd gotten hurt at school, she decided to go to school with me.
13:55For all these years, I'd taken the school shuttle alone.
13:58The driver only bothered picking Serafina up.
14:02This morning, Dad parked his car right in front of Mom and me, speaking in a very friendly manner.
14:08Vivian, let me drive you.
14:13Serafina stood at the estate gates, looking furious.
14:15Her things had been moved out of my room last night.
14:18Everyone in the Whitmore estate knew her privilege was ended.
14:21Mom refused with a cold tone.
14:23No need, Mr. Whitmore.
14:24Your car's too fancy for a staff member and her kid.
14:27My dad's face drained of color.
14:29Vivian, I'm sorry.
14:31I can explain about the live scream.
14:33Bella ran out so suddenly, I lost my temper.
14:35I didn't mean-
14:35Ran out so suddenly?
14:37Her heirloom was stolen.
14:38She had every right to take it back.
14:39You knew that necklace was mine.
14:41Don't play dumb.
14:42My dad panicked, got out of the car, and blocked our way.
14:45I know I messed up.
14:47I'll make it right for Bella, I promise.
14:49Make it right?
14:51What are you to her now?
14:52We don't need your amends.
14:54Let's go, Bella.
14:56We got in the shuttle.
14:57Dad's car followed us all the way to school.
14:59Thanks to Serafina, teachers always hated me.
15:02When we walked into the principal's office, he didn't hide his impatience at all.
15:06Arabella Whitmore, you still have no guardian warned you.
15:09No guardian today, and you're expelled.
15:36Oh my god.
15:40I've seen your movies, but...
15:45Didn't you marry Cassian Whitmore?
15:47Isn't his daughter Serafina?
15:50Cassian's lost his mind.
15:52Treating someone else's kid like a princess while denying his own.
15:58I did nothing wrong.
15:59I stopped her from bullying Sarah.
16:01She threw the pen first.
16:03So Serafina got called in too.
16:08She put on her usual pitiful act.
16:10I'm so sorry, Mrs. Whitmore.
16:12It's all my fault.
16:13Liam was just protecting me.
16:15Please don't blame Arabella too.
16:17She just lost it for a second.
16:18Save the performance.
16:19Are you taking me for a fool like Cassian?
16:21Do you think I'd wrong my own daughter just to side with you?
16:28Mrs. Whitmore, I know you don't like me, but you don't have to make me sound so calculating.
16:33Mom stared her down.
16:34You think I know nothing, huh?
16:36You stole Bella's birthday and her place's heir.
16:38You told everyone she was just a staff child.
16:40You were the one who provoked her that day.
16:41Don't make me remind you what you said.
16:43Once everyone realized Serafina was adopted, the way they looked at her changed completely.
16:51I never said she was a staff kid.
16:53It was Dad who said-
16:54Enough!
16:56Say one more word and you're out of the Whitmore family for good.
16:59Liam finally apologized.
17:01The second they found out who I was, their faces paled.
17:04They seized Liam by the neck and forced him to apologize.
17:06I'm sorry, Arabella.
17:07As they left, I heard them muttering,
17:10Has Cassian lost his mind?
17:11Why would he ignore his real daughter to spoil an adopted one and let Sarah bully his own blood?
17:17Arabella, who else has bullied you?
17:19Tell me.
17:22Don't play blind.
17:24You know exactly who's picked on Bella all these years.
17:27Loads of people are still bashing her online.
17:30My dad glanced at Serafina and made his choice immediately.
17:34Skip your classes today.
17:35Come with me.
17:36We're going live to set things straight and apologize to Bella.
17:42Dad, no!
17:43Everyone online will hate me!
17:45Then don't apologize.
17:47And you're out of this family for good.
17:50The live stream started.
17:51The second my mom appeared on camera, view numbers exploded.
17:55Is that Vivian Hart?
17:57Someone said yesterday Vivian was back and I didn't believe it.
17:59The family's finally reunited.
18:02Wait, who's the girl next to her?
18:03The staff kid?
18:04Hi everyone.
18:05I'm back.
18:07Let me introduce my own daughter, Arabella Whitmore.
18:11Comments with question marks flooded the live chat.
18:13Just, Kacian, explain everything.
18:17He hesitated for seconds and admitted.
18:21Vivian's right.
18:22Arabella is our real daughter.
18:24Serafina was adopted from foster care ten years ago.
18:30Two days ago, Serafina did steal Arabella's heirloom necklace she got from Viviana.
18:34Arabella was so furious that she rushed out and stumbled right into the live stream.
18:38I misunderstood the situation and blamed her unfairly.
18:40Comments were all judging Serafina.
18:43I've made ten years of mistakes.
18:44I shouldn't have taken Vivian's disappearance out on Arabella.
18:48And I definitely shouldn't have adopted Serafina when Arabella was so vulnerable.
18:51Starting today, I will terminate Serafina's adoption legally.
18:58Dad?
19:02She cried and kept looking back, hoping Dad would change his mind.
19:07He never looked at her once.
19:08He thought getting rid of Serafina would earn our forgiveness.
19:11But my mom and I weren't that easy.
19:16All my dad had left was a set of divorce papers.
19:22Our new house wasn't as luxurious as the Whitmore estate, but it was warm.
19:26My mom redecorated my room beautifully, filled my closet with brand new clothes.
19:31The day we moved in, she wrapped her arms around me.
19:33Bella, I'll never let you suffer again.
19:37I believe you, Mom.
19:39Back at school, Serafina got isolated.
19:41Her old friends turned on her first.
19:43Wow, you're such a good actress.
19:44An orphan playing princess for years.
19:46No wonder you want to go into Hollywood.
19:47Your act is flawless.
19:48I've got to hand it to you.
19:49As the adopted daughter, you dared to bully the real daughter and steal her necklace.
19:52Have you no shame?
19:53Serafina, give me back the gift I got you from Paris.
19:55It cost thousands!
19:56Like she'd ever give it back.
19:57She's probably sold everything off for cash.
19:59How else can she afford studying at our school?
20:00She's been expelled by the Whitmeal.
20:02Didn't you say Bella got to go here because your dad sponsored her?
20:04Where's your dad now?
20:05Do you even know who your dad is?
20:07So shameless.
20:08So shameless.
20:09Serafina struggled to hold back tears.
20:12Can everyone just stop?
20:19The butler barely let Serafina take anything when she left the estate.
20:23Now she stood there in her barely worn school uniform, pale and exhausted like someone else.
20:28She looked at Liam, hoping for him to defend her.
20:30He turned his head away.
20:32What?
20:33You can't take it now?
20:35You loved throwing your weight around as the Whitmore heir.
20:37You treated us like we were nothing.
20:39Now you can't take a little payback?
20:41What are you going to do about it?
20:44Someone threw a half-finished yogurt straight at her face.
20:47The whole class burst into laughter.
20:49I kept packing my backpack, blank-faced.
20:52I didn't even glance at Serafina.
20:54I knew exactly what they were doing.
20:56They bullied me for years, and now they were attacking Serafina to curry favor with me.
21:01But I didn't need it anymore.
21:02My mom said this school was toxic.
21:04She'd already arranged my transfer.
21:06I slung my bag over my shoulder and walked out of that classroom without a single look back.
21:13The divorce dragged on for months.
21:15Dad refused to sign the papers.
21:17He tried everything to win my mom's forgiveness.
21:19He even started hurting himself.
21:21He loved her madly.
21:22He probably never imagined that after 10 years missing,
21:25the first thing she did upon returning was leave him.
21:27I thought about it, then finally told Mom,
21:30Mom, if you still love him, you don't have to divorce him for me.
21:33Whatever happened those 10 years, that's between me and Dad.
21:35Not something wrong with your marriage.
21:37In a few years, I'm off to college anyway.
21:39I don't need to live at home.
21:40You don't have to give up the life you want because of me.
21:42I could tell she still loved Dad, too.
21:44How could I let my loving mother sacrifice for me?
21:46He looked at was long times, then trusely burst.
21:49Bella, you weren't like this before.
21:50You'd just say up so.
21:51Wanted something, you'd just ask.
21:53Now you're always making excuses for the people who hurt you.
21:55He tortured my baby into this.
21:57I can never forgive him.
21:58If I hadn't come back at your birthday, you might have died in that lake she couldn't finish.
22:02She pulled me in, voice shaking.
22:04Just thinking about how you looked when you woke up scares me.
22:06I caught a glimpse of Dad pulling away from the doorway.
22:08The next day, he signed the divorce papers.
22:13The new school was good.
22:14People were friendly.
22:15No rigid klutz, no one-upmanship, nobody left out.
22:18Without Serafina stirring things up, I finally made a few friends.
22:21Everything about the Whitmans had blown up online by then.
22:23My new friends knew it, too.
22:24After standing up for me, they were careful not to pry.
22:26My grades were average.
22:28For the past 10 years, I lived so tightly wound and barely had energy left for schoolwork.
22:32But Mom never pushed me about grades.
22:34She only cared about my happiness.
22:35When I told her I wanted to get into a good college, she hired me a professional tutor right away.
22:40From then on, I went to class and did club activities during the day and studied with my tutor every
22:45night.
22:46My grades kept getting better.
22:47End of the semester, I got the best report card I'd ever had.
22:51Mom was so thrilled seeing it.
22:52She cooked a full feast by herself and bought a cake to celebrate me.
22:58The day my college acceptance came in, I couldn't stop crying.
23:01I got into a school I never thought was possible.
23:04Two years ago, I was the girl the whole school shunned, curled up in the staff quarters, pathetic and alone.
23:08Now I had a warm home, my loving mom, and a bright future ahead.
23:12My mom posted the acceptance email online.
23:14Her fans flooded the comments with blessings.
23:16Dad liked the post from the Whitmore Group official account.
23:18The next day, we got news of his death.
23:19He'd left all his estate to me.
23:21Shares in Whitmore Group, trust funds, properties, cash, all of it.
23:24He ended his own life.
23:25He left two letters, one for my mom, one for me.
23:28Mine had just one line smudged with old tears and faint bloodstains.
23:32I'm sorry, I couldn't tell how I felt.
23:37Like a fight that ended long ago, finally no one had anything left to say.
23:40He never got my forgiveness, and I never got a real dad.
23:43Serafina showed up when she heard about dad's death.
23:46Two years had changed her a lot.
23:47I could hardly find the Whitmore princess in her anymore.
23:50Arabella, dad's dead.
23:53Look what I've become.
23:54Are you satisfied now?
23:56When dad sent her away, he'd given her enough money to finish college.
23:59But she burned through it fast, and I heard she went back asking for more after.
24:02He must have said no, because she dropped out of high school.
24:04Sure, if you got even more miserable, I'd be happier.
24:07I looked at her calmly.
24:08Why are you so cruel?
24:10I'm nowhere near as cruel as you.
24:13If dad were still alive, he'd never let you treat me like this.
24:17You still think he'd be on your side?
24:20Of course!
24:21For ten years, he always chose me.
24:23If Vivian hadn't come back, if you two hadn't forced him, he would have never abandoned me!
24:27You really think he loved you that much?
24:29Of course.
24:30I was always his favorite.
24:32Then why didn't he leave you a scent?
24:35Her face drained of all color.
24:37He left everything to me, including the ground you're standing on right now.
24:43Serathina froze.
24:44I turned and walked away, not sparing her another glance.
24:47Her saws broke out behind me.
24:49I didn't look back.
24:51Ahead of me, Mom was waiting.
24:54I was leaving everything from the past behind and walking forward with her.
