AmusantTranscription
00:00Le troisième mois, ma famille m'a fermé en la psych ward.
00:03Les électroses sur les temples.
00:05Les restreintes cutten sur mes wrists.
00:07J'ai perdu compte de combien de chocs le docteur m'a donné.
00:10Please, please, non, c'est hurt.
00:13Je vais bien.
00:14Ah, je promets.
00:16Stop.
00:17Je me suis arrêté, mais le docteur n'a pas encore l'air.
00:19Le docteur m'a poussé la porte, l'expression de l'air.
00:22Je vois ses chocs de l'air comme un choc.
00:24Her famille m'a dit, «up la dose ».
00:27Le vent hit.
00:27My body arched, then went limp.
00:31The last thing I saw was the white fluorescent light
00:33and the little red dot on the security camera blinking on and off.
00:36The line on the heart monitor went flat.
00:39I died.
00:40When I opened my eyes, I was standing in an old pawn shop.
00:43I looked down at my hands.
00:45Translucent.
00:45Welcome.
00:46A voice.
00:47Behind the counter.
00:48I looked up.
00:49A man, 30 maybe.
00:51His eyes were pale gray-like glass with no heat in it.
00:54The soul shop.
00:56The place where you get what you want most.
00:59He looked up at me.
01:00And what do you want?
01:02What do I want?
01:04I mumbled and clenched my fists.
01:06My nails dug into my palms, but I couldn't feel the pain anymore.
01:11I want to live again.
01:13He set the cloth down.
01:15It won't be cheap.
01:16Pulled out a sheet of parchment from beneath the counter, slid it across to me.
01:20To live again, you trade something of equal value.
01:24Do you know what's worth the most about you?
01:27No.
01:29Your ability to love.
01:31I froze.
01:33He looked at me with those pale gray eyes, voice slow.
01:36You see?
01:37People like you are rare.
01:38You loved your parents.
01:40Loved your brother.
01:41Loved your fiancé.
01:42You even loved the sister who took everything from you.
01:45Stepped on.
01:46Spit on.
01:47And you kept handing them your heart.
01:49Over and over.
01:50You're mocking me!
01:52I'm doing business.
01:54He tapped the parchment with one fingertip.
01:56Terms.
01:57You surrender your ability to love.
01:59I give you one more life.
02:01Starting the day you turned 12.
02:02The day they brought your sister home.
02:04Why that day?
02:05For the first time, something flickered in his face.
02:08Almost interest.
02:09Because that's where your story went wrong.
02:11I was quiet for a long time.
02:13Then I looked up.
02:15Deal.
02:16I lifted my hand, pressed it to the parchment.
02:18A gold light bloomed where my fingerprint landed.
02:21He took the contract back.
02:22Gave me the smallest nod.
02:23I snapped.
02:24May this life.
02:25Find yourself.
02:27He snapped his fingers.
02:29The world began to fall apart.
02:31Shards of light drifted down like snow.
02:34White light swallowed everything.
02:36Anya, what are you spacing out for?
02:38Our new sister's almost here.
02:40Let's go down and meet her.
02:41Hearing that name again froze me for a second.
02:44My eyes snapped open.
02:45I hadn't been called Anya in six, seven years.
02:48I turned and looked at my twin brother, Cole, next to me.
02:51Sure enough, he'd reverted to his 12-year-old self.
02:55A half-grown boy in a perfectly tailored suit, eyes bright with anticipation.
02:59One of his hands was holding my hand.
03:01I looked down at his slim, clean fingers.
03:03In my head, I saw the handprint it had left on my face when we were older.
03:07I frowned, yanked my arm free.
03:09Cole looked at me, confused.
03:11Anya, what's wrong?
03:13The front door opened.
03:14My parents' voices floated up.
03:16Cole!
03:17Anya, come down!
03:18We brought your sister home!
03:20Cole's eyes lit up.
03:21He dropped me and ran down the stairs alone.
03:23I stood at the top and watched the four of them downstairs.
03:26One big happy family.
03:28I pressed a hand to my chest.
03:31Strange.
03:32My heart was still beating calmly.
03:34But the knife-edge pain as before, it was totally gone.
03:37Cole and I are twins.
03:39For the first 12 years of our lives, my parents only had the two of us.
03:42Cole was older by two hours.
03:44He and our parents spoiled me into a real deal little princess.
03:48Someone joked to my father once,
03:50With a temper like your daughter's, thank God she's engaged to Felix already,
03:54or no one would dare marry her.
03:55My father's face went black.
03:57My daughter wasn't born to be married off.
04:00She can stay home for life.
04:02I can afford her.
04:03My mother and Cole didn't say a word.
04:05They just kept showering me with more nice things.
04:08A $3 million bracelet was an ordinary birthday gift back then.
04:11But it was also the last birthday gift I would ever get.
04:14The year I turned 12, an old friend of my father's died of illness.
04:18On his deathbed, he asked my father to take in his only daughter, Olivia.
04:22And after her coming, my family's love, trust, attention, all of it drifted away from me a little at a
04:28time.
04:28But I still treated her like my own sister before my 18th birthday.
04:31I loved her until the moment I saw her kissing my fiancé Felix in the garden.
04:39I snapped.
04:41Why are you doing this to me?
04:43Do you even see what you're like right now?
04:46You're a lunaturk.
04:47Cole's eyes were full of revulsion.
04:49My parents said nothing.
04:51They watched, like everyone else.
04:52The pain in my chest had me shaking head to toe.
04:55I went at Olivia with a knife, but Cole kicked me into a thicket of thorns.
04:59Every single person there crowded around Olivia, trying to calm her down, begging her not to cry.
05:04Nobody cared that what I'd had in my hand was just a plastic knife from the cake.
05:07My parents had me committed, said I was mentally ill.
05:11Cole's kick did real damage.
05:12I was coughing up blood day and night.
05:14I begged the doctor over and over to call my parents.
05:17Not a single call got answered.
05:19Then, after another round of electroshock, I stopped breathing.
05:23That was when I saw it.
05:24The soul shop.
05:25The one in the rumors.
05:27I traded everything I had to love with for one more chance.
05:30This time, no one gets to hurt me.
05:31Aina!
05:32Sweetheart, come on!
05:33You've been waiting for a little sister, haven't you?
05:36My mother holding Olivia's hand, smiling, waving me down.
05:39Olivia tipped up her clean little face and called me sister.
05:42I didn't react.
05:43I turned and walked back into my room.
05:45Left the four of them looking at each other in the living room.
05:48My father, confused.
05:49What's gotten into her now?
05:51Who upset her?
05:53My mother's voice went thin.
05:55Maybe she just needs a minute to get used to having a younger sister.
05:58It's fine.
05:59I'll go talk to her in a bit.
06:01Olivia's voice cracked.
06:02Mom, Dad, does my sister not like me?
06:06Maybe I should leave.
06:09Before my parents could say anything, Cole jumped in.
06:12Anya's just a little hot-tentured.
06:14Don't be sad.
06:15I'll go tell her off in a minute.
06:17Cole's so grown up.
06:18You take good care of your sister, okay?
06:20Their laughter floated up through the floor.
06:22I stood up and started going through my things.
06:25Too much time had passed.
06:26I couldn't remember everything 12-year-old me owned.
06:28A closer look.
06:29I was almost embarrassingly rich.
06:31No wonder Olivia loved taking my things.
06:33I scooped the jewelry off the vanity and dumped it into my backpack.
06:37I picked up the bracelet and remembered the time she'd smashed it.
06:40That was the first time I'd slapped Olivia.
06:42She'd hidden behind the door with her eyes red, voice tiny, like I was the one who'd broken her favorite
06:47thing.
06:47Sister, I'm sorry.
06:50I really didn't mean to.
06:52I just wanted to look at it.
06:54It slipped.
06:54Then she'd burst into tears.
06:56My parents came running.
06:57Cole came running.
06:58She had wrapped herself around my mother's leg, sobbing like she was going to pass out.
07:03But the moment no one was watching, she looked up at me and smirked.
07:06I pointed at her, trying to tell them truth.
07:08Anna!
07:09How can you be cruel to her?
07:10It's just a bracelet.
07:12You couldn't have let her have it?
07:13Just a bracelet?
07:15That bracelet was the gift Cole had bought me with the prize money from his first IT competition, and he'd
07:21forgotten.
07:22By the time I'd packed up everything, there was a soft knock on my door.
07:26My mother, voice soft, almost too patient.
07:28Anya?
07:29Sweetheart, come out.
07:31Dinner's ready.
07:31I didn't answer.
07:33I just opened the door and let her walk me down to the dining room.
07:36My usual seat had Olivia in it.
07:38My father and Cole were both putting food on her plates.
07:40I turned to my mother.
07:42Should I eat on the floor?
07:44Every head snapped up.
07:45My mother's grip on my hand tightened.
07:48Of course not.
07:49My fault.
07:50I forgot to have them bring you a chair.
07:51Anna, please get Anya a chair.
07:53Olivia stood up, her wide, innocent eyes filling instantly.
07:56Sister, I'm sorry.
07:57I didn't know this was your seat.
07:59Here, take it.
08:00Cole jumped up and pushed her back into the chair, shooting me a hard look.
08:03Anna, it doesn't matter where you sit.
08:06Olivia just got here.
08:07Don't scare her.
08:08My parents said nothing.
08:10They were watching me.
08:11So this was tacit approval.
08:13I took the chair from the housekeeper and dragged it to the far end of the table, away from all
08:17of them.
08:18Cole's hands stalled midair over Olivia's plate.
08:20He opened his mouth a few times, closed it.
08:23We finished dinner in that strange, frozen quiet.
08:25As I stood up to head back upstairs, my father called after me.
08:29He cleared his throat, tried to smile.
08:31Anya, Olivia just lost her parents.
08:34We're her family now.
08:35We should take care of her.
08:37My mother chimed in.
08:38Yeah, mom knows.
08:40You probably aren't used to having a sister yet.
08:43But look at her.
08:44She's so sweet.
08:45Try to spend time with her.
08:47You'll grow close.
08:48My voice came out flat.
08:49And?
08:50My mother froze.
08:51Maybe I'd never spoken to her in that tone before.
08:54My father took a sip of his coffee and forced a smile.
08:57Anya, sweetheart.
08:58Olivia just transferred to her new school.
09:00She's not doing well.
09:01So how about you and Cole both drop back a grade so you can be in the same class as
09:06your sister?
09:07To sell it, he added quickly.
09:08Cole already said yes.
09:10We're just waiting on you.
09:11I looked at Cole and he was staring at the floor.
09:14Couldn't meet my eyes.
09:16Here we go.
09:17Last time around, it was the same.
09:20They made me and Cole, who were already in 7th grade, drop back to 6th with Olivia.
09:24A year later, my childhood sweetheart Felix, by then thick as thieves with Olivia,
09:29transferred into our class on the excuse that he wanted to look after me.
09:32After that, the three of them put on their little theater every day.
09:35Made up stories about how I was bullying Olivia, got the whole class to freeze me out.
09:39Brilliant.
09:40But I wasn't going to play with elementary schoolers this time.
09:43Waste of a life.
09:45I tilted my head.
09:46She needs two servants just to get through school.
09:50My father's time was forked down.
09:51Anya, what did you just say?
09:54I said, since Cole's already volunteered to be her servant, you don't need to drag me into it.
09:58My mother grabbed her arm, eyes wide.
10:01Anya, what are you saying?
10:03What servant?
10:04Your dad just wants you all to spend time together.
10:06Get close.
10:07I have no obligation to get close to her.
10:10Whoever wants to wait on her, can wait on her.
10:13I stared at Cole.
10:14He'd been frozen like a deer in headlights this whole time.
10:17It's settled.
10:18The two of you go to elementary school.
10:20I'll stay in seventh grade.
10:22We leave each other alone.
10:23I turned and went upstairs.
10:24Left the four of them downstairs, consoling Olivia, who couldn't stop crying.
10:28Around nine that night, Cole knocked on my door.
10:32Anya, are you asleep?
10:34What?
10:35Could you open the door?
10:36No.
10:37The hall went quiet.
10:38Just as I thought he'd left, his voice came through again.
10:41Anya, you're upset, aren't you?
10:43No.
10:44You are.
10:45Anya, is it because I only paid attention to our new sister today and ignored you?
10:49I exhaled.
10:50Really?
10:50No.
10:51Cole, you can get close to whoever you want.
10:53I don't care.
10:54The hall went quiet again.
10:55After a long pause, his voice came back.
10:57There was something tired in it.
10:59Anya, Olivia, she's really pitiful.
11:01She's got such a soft heart.
11:02I'm scared she'll get pushed around.
11:03Anya, let me stay with her for a year.
11:06Once she settles in, I'll transfer back to your school, okay?
11:08Right, right, right.
11:10The school is funded by your family.
11:12You can do whatever you want.
11:14I slid my noise-canceling earplugs in, got into bed.
11:17The next morning, I walked into the living room with my suitcase and my backpack.
11:21Everyone froze.
11:24I looked up and saw Felix sitting next to Olivia, my future fiancé, the man who would
11:29one day betray me for Olivia.
11:30At 12, he was already a head taller than Cole.
11:33The moment he saw me, he jumped up, his soft hazel eyes crinkling, voice all bright.
11:38Anya, I'm here to walk you to school.
11:40I looked down, saw Olivia's hand still wrapped around his arm.
11:44You don't need to walk me anywhere.
11:46Ever.
11:46If you want to walk someone else, go ahead.
11:48Why?
11:49I gestured at the suitcase behind me.
11:50Felix wasn't the only one looking lost.
11:52So were my parents.
11:54So was Cole.
11:55Anna?
11:56What's that?
11:56Cole's eyes were red-rimmed.
11:58Clothes.
11:59And some things I need.
12:00And my jewelry.
12:01I won't give them up this time.
12:02Forgot to mention, starting today, I'm leaving here.
12:07What?
12:07What?
12:08What?
12:09All of them at once.
12:12My father came over, cold-faced, and crouched down to look at me.
12:15Anya, why?
12:16Is home not good enough?
12:18Where do you even want to go?
12:20Boarding school.
12:21I set it flat.
12:22His hands on my hair was shaking a little, and he glanced back at Olivia, hesitant.
12:25Is it because...
12:26Because of Olivia?
12:27Before I could react, Olivia bit her lip and let out a soft, choked sob.
12:31What are you saying?
12:32Of course not.
12:33Anya, you tell us yourself.
12:34Why are you boarding at school?
12:36It can't be because of your sister.
12:37You love her, don't you?
12:38Every face in the room was waiting, hopeful.
12:41They wanted me to say yes.
12:42I love her.
12:43I want to board because I'm being a brat.
12:44But I make it my job to disappoint people.
12:47No, I don't love her.
12:48I hate her.
12:49And it's not just her.
12:50I hate every single one of you.
12:52Their faces went bone white.
12:54Only Felix didn't really react.
12:55He looked like he thought I was throwing a jealous fit.
12:57His face was full of patience and rye indulgence.
12:59When I dragged my suitcase past him, he even reached out to help me carry it.
13:02I dodged.
13:03Cynthia didn't get angry, just kept trailing me.
13:05My parents tried to come after me, but Olivia's sobbing cut them off.
13:10Mom, Dad, send me to an orphan.
13:13I don't deserve to be here.
13:15Of course, more cooing, more comfort.
13:17The only odd thing was that Cole, for the first time, didn't say a word.
13:20Felix was still on my heels and climbed straight into my car.
13:23Get in your own car.
13:24No, I'm not going.
13:25I'm coming with you.
13:27My fingertips twitched.
13:28Last life around the same.
13:29When everyone else turned on me, the only one who didn't take Olivia's side was Felix.
13:33He'd stand behind me when she set me up.
13:35He'd snap back at Cole when Cole yelled at me.
13:37When my parents got more and more disappointed in me, he'd hold me and say softly,
13:41Anya, don't be scared.
13:43You've got me.
13:44I'll always just love you.
13:46I'd clung to him like a drowning person clings to a piece of wood.
13:49Until our 14th birthday.
13:50Olivia collapsed out of nowhere.
13:52Felix, faster than anyone, shoved me out of the way and caught her.
13:54A fake medium he'd personally brought immediately took the chance and announced my name was bad luck and it was
13:59crushing Olivia's fortune.
14:01What a flimsy escape.
14:02I still remember the shock and embarrassment on every guest's face that night.
14:05Every adult in the room could see it for what it was.
14:07A staged public humiliation.
14:09But my parents took me to get my name legally changed without a single argument.
14:13From that day forward, the name I'd had for 14 years, Anya, became a banned word in our house since
14:18they called me Mia.
14:19Mia.
14:19A name picked to protect Olivia.
14:21I hated it.
14:21I hated it until the day I died.
14:24I didn't answer Felix if he'd be transferring to Olivia's class in a few weeks anyway.
14:28I took my paperwork and my boarding fee straight to the dorm supervisor.
14:31When Felix saw me actually hand the money over, the casual look fell off his face.
14:35He finally got it.
14:36I wasn't joking around.
14:37Anya?
14:38Confusion was thick in his eyes.
14:40Why do you hate me too?
14:41What did I do wrong?
14:43His fingers caught at my sleeve carefully.
14:44I slapped his hands off hard, disgust all over my face.
14:47Wiped at my sleeve with a tissue.
14:49His voice caught in his throat.
14:50Anya.
14:51I walked off down the hallway to the head's office.
14:53Before first period started, I requested a transfer to a new class.
14:56When I came around the corner with an armful of books, I saw Felix again.
15:00Eyes red.
15:01He looked at the books in my arms and his face crumpled.
15:04Anya.
15:05Don't transfer.
15:07Please.
15:07In that exact moment, a basketball came flying out of room 7B and clocked him square in the head.
15:12I dodged with the books and slipped into the classroom.
15:15Felix went down in the hallway, caused a stir.
15:17A boy in the classroom was still in his shooting follow-through.
15:20His uniform pulled loose on him.
15:21His mouth was stretched into an exaggerated...
15:23Whoa!
15:24Sorry.
15:24Didn't mean to hit anyone.
15:25You good, man?
15:26I glanced at him.
15:27Walked past with my books.
15:28I might have been imagining it, but his arm went stiff for a second, and then he leaned
15:31on a desk with one hand and pointed casually at the seat next to him.
15:35Voice all swagger.
15:36Past that is the trash can.
15:38Maybe sit next to me?
15:41I looked at him.
15:43He looked away fast.
15:45Uh, the teacher said a new student was coming.
15:47Told the class principal, me, to look out for her.
15:51He rubbed his face.
15:52Rubbed it so hard his ears went red.
15:53Class president of 7B, Jace, the certified troublemaker.
15:57The kids around me were either laughing at Felix on the floor or sneaking looks at us.
16:01I sighed.
16:027B's bad reputation was earned.
16:04I pressed my lips together.
16:06Thanks.
16:07I prefer to sit alone.
16:08I put my books down at the desk at the very back, against the wall.
16:12Jace looked annoyed at himself.
16:13His voice got urgent.
16:14Hey, you!
16:15Don't sit there.
16:16Trade with me.
16:16I'm taller.
16:17I'll block your view of the board.
16:19Before I could say no, Felix burst in, face streaked with dust, slammed his hands on
16:22my books.
16:24Anya, come back with me.
16:27Let go.
16:29No.
16:30Bro, are you done with the drama?
16:33Jace looked at him like he was something stuck to his shoe.
16:35She wants to be in our class.
16:36Who asked you?
16:37Someone from the doorway tossed Jace another ball.
16:39He balanced it on one finger, spinning, and gave Felix a look that was pure dare.
16:43Felix ground his teeth, looked down at me, and I was already organizing my desk.
16:47Get out.
16:47The bell rang.
16:48Felix's hand clenched.
16:51Anya.
16:51I didn't answer.
16:52He gave up, shot Jace a venomous look, walked out.
16:55I assailed.
16:59Thanks.
17:00Wait.
17:01You talking to me?
17:02I nodded.
17:03He suddenly stood up straight as a board and chucked the basketball at the trash can
17:06behind me.
17:07I stared.
17:07Didn't know what just happened.
17:08His face went redder.
17:09Reflex.
17:10Don't, don't mention it.
17:11I caught myself smiling.
17:13He went even stiffer.
17:15Jace ended up trading seats with me anyway.
17:17I told him over and over.
17:18It was winter.
17:19The trash got emptied off in.
17:20There was no smell.
17:21But he was firm.
17:22He moved me up to the front.
17:23You're obviously a neat freak.
17:25And a good student.
17:26No way I'm letting you sit back there.
17:28Like he decided to be the world's most committed class president.
17:31He handled every detail of my class transfer.
17:33So when the teacher pulled us aside and asked if I could help bring his grades up, I hesitated,
17:37then nodded.
17:38School life was dry but full.
17:39To stay away from home, I signed up for every tutoring program I could find on weekends.
17:43Summer and winter breaks, I packed myself off to camps abroad.
17:46School work aside, I was starting to look outward.
17:48See the world.
17:49At first my parents came to school every few days.
17:51Then since I always looked at them blankly, they stopped coming.
17:54Every so often there was a phone call.
17:56They'd sigh into the phone.
17:58Anya, we just want you girls to get along.
18:01Olivia really misses you.
18:03You're not coming home this weekend?
18:05No.
18:06I didn't say much.
18:07Conversations got awkward fat.
18:08I just hang up.
18:09They said I'm weird and unlikable now.
18:10They were right.
18:11I didn't have the ability to be adorable.
18:13But my brother Cole came every day.
18:15Without fail, he carried meals from home, running between the elementary school and the middle school.
18:19Sometimes Olivia trailed after him out of breath.
18:21She looked at me like I was the villain.
18:23Sister, our brother is killing himself doing this.
18:26Just be nice and come to our class.
18:28I took the meal box from Cole and sat down to eat.
18:30Olivia bit her lip, eyes wet, looked at Cole.
18:33He wiped sweat off his forehead and gave her a generous big brother smile.
18:36It's nothing.
18:37Anya, the school food's terrible.
18:39I'll bring you home cooking every day.
18:41I ignored him.
18:41He didn't get angry.
18:42When I finished eating, he'd take the empty container and run back to elementary school.
18:46Felix came less and less.
18:47He stopped pushing me to engage with him.
18:49He just spent every break standing by the window, glancing over at me like he wasn't.
18:53I pretended I couldn't see.
18:55The days went by.
18:57The day before my 14th birthday, my parents showed up at the school.
19:00Unusually, Cole was with them.
19:01When they saw me, both of them did a little double take.
19:04My mother's hands shook a bit as she grabbed my arm.
19:06You've gotten taller again.
19:08Sweetheart, it's been so long since you came home.
19:10Her eyes went pink.
19:11It set off my father's, too.
19:13There was a catch in his voice.
19:15Yeah, Anya, your birthday is tomorrow.
19:18We've got everything set up.
19:19Come home, okay?
19:19Like he was scared, I'd refuse.
19:21Cole added quickly,
19:22You can invite your friends.
19:23Classmates, you didn't come home last year.
19:25We waited up the whole night.
19:27Right.
19:28On my birthday last year, Jace had found out somehow.
19:30He dragged the whole goofy crew from class and announced we were going horseback riding.
19:35Anya, can you, like, open up a little?
19:38I looked at him, lost.
19:40He pulled at the corners of his own mouth with two fingers.
19:43It's your birthday.
19:44Quit being all uptight.
19:45Smile.
19:46He was sitting up on a tall chestnut horse.
19:48Happy birthday.
19:49Son behind him, head tilted to look at me.
19:51Thanks.
19:54I sat up on the horse, wind in my ears, felt something inside me that had been locked tight.
19:59Easy.
20:00It wasn't until the next day that I saw all the missed calls from my family.
20:04And the pile of birthday gifts Cole had brought to the front of my classroom, I was surprised.
20:10Last time my 12th birthday was the last time I got a gift.
20:14Anya, come home tomorrow.
20:16Cole kept going, but when I turned I saw Olivia holding onto Felix's arm.
20:19That memorable naming ceremony night, the nausea was still in me.
20:23I frowned without meaning to.
20:25Felix yanked his arm out of her hand fast.
20:27I've been looking for you.
20:29Olivia said you were here.
20:30She brought me.
20:31I just...
20:32You don't have to explain.
20:33I cut him off.
20:33I'm busy tomorrow.
20:35I'm not coming home.
20:36Anya.
20:38I turned and went back into the classroom.
20:40Behind me my mother had started crying.
20:42As I turned the corner, I heard a heavy sigh.
20:45Honey, did we...
20:47We do this wrong?
20:51But I don't care about them anymore.
20:53Right now I had a butter knife in my hand and I was carefully cutting into a cake that
20:56said happy birthday, Anya.
20:57The class turned off the lights and the warm wash of candlelight everyone sang.
21:01Anya, make a wish.
21:03I closed my eyes for a second, wished, with my whole soul.
21:07Please, whoever's listening, keep me far away from those people this lifetime.
21:10When I opened my eyes, Jace was standing in front of me with a small wrapped box.
21:14Anya, happy birthday.
21:15Open it.
21:16I smiled and opened it.
21:18Froze.
21:18A hair clip studded with crystals.
21:20What?
21:20You don't like it?
21:21Should have asked you first.
21:22He scratched at his head, frustrated.
21:23The other day I saw you staring at a hair clip on the sidewalk.
21:25That one was cheap.
21:26So I found a better one.
21:28I love it.
21:29Thank you.
21:30He froze.
21:31I picked up the clip and put it in my hair.
21:34Thank you.
21:35His eyes had that soft littering thing happening.
21:37No problem.
21:38As long as you like it.
21:39It's really pretty.
21:40It was.
21:41Very pretty.
21:42A piece by the international designer, Victor, from his Starlight Collection.
21:45When I was 17, I'd seen it at an auction and fallen in love with it.
21:49I thought my mother would love it too.
21:50I'd brought five years of saved up money.
21:53Started bidding.
21:54But that day, no matter what I bid, Olivia bid a dollar higher.
21:57In the end, my mother stepped in and bought the piece for $30,000,001 dollars.
22:02Absurd price.
22:03And she put it in Olivia's hair.
22:05They said,
22:05You have everything.
22:06Why fight a little girl over this?
22:09Olivia wore it in front of me every single day, showing off.
22:11Mia, it's the gift from Mom, but I can give it to you if you beg me.
22:15That hair clip became one of my obsessions.
22:18And here it was in my palm, three years earlier than it should have been.
22:21My eyes filled before I knew it.
22:23Thank you.
22:24All of you.
22:25Really.
22:26It was strange.
22:27The heart I'd thought was dead started slowly to beat again.
22:32After that day, my family started bothering me less.
22:36Even Cole and Felix, the daily fixtures, disappeared for a long stretch.
22:39It took the class gossip queen to fill me in.
22:43Olivia got crazy.
22:44She couldn't bear my parents or Cole, leaving her side for a second.
22:48I heard your mom mention sending her to a school abroad, and she snapped.
22:51Like, totally.
22:52Word is, she's even tried to hurt herself.
22:54She wanted to recover at home, but she won't let Cole come to school either.
22:57Whole family has to camp at home with her.
22:58Felix, too.
22:59She won't let go of him.
23:00His family's having a huge fight with yours about it.
23:02I gripped my pen tighter.
23:03This was exactly what I'd done in my last life.
23:05The more they ignored you, the harder you reached for attention.
23:08Tantrums, screaming, all of it.
23:10Like a lunatic, except she was luckier than I'd been.
23:13Her family was patient with her, and I was relieved.
23:15Not that any of it was my problem.
23:17With no one bothering me, I dragged the whole class into intense study mode.
23:20If someone slacked, Jace intimidated them.
23:23Six months later, we all got into the best high school in the city.
23:26I didn't go home once that summer.
23:28I went up Mount Kazbek with Jace's family.
23:30Turns out his parents were professional climbers.
23:32They'd originally planned to summit Mont Blanc.
23:34But you had to be 16 to climb Mont Blanc.
23:36Jace and I were both too young.
23:38Anya, hot tea.
23:40Jace's mother had a soft spot for me from day one.
23:42The gorgeous woman with sharp eyes would pull me into a hug and refuse to let go.
23:46Anya, you're so cute, so pretty.
23:49I'm in love.
23:49Be my daughter.
23:50Did it finally.
23:50Honestly, why is my kid a son?
23:52Doesn't make sense.
23:53Mom, please, be reasonable.
23:54Why is your kid a son?
23:55Because you don't have a daughter.
23:57His father's laugh thundered.
23:58The whole summit echoed with it.
24:00I caught my breath and looked out at the white world below.
24:03Jace shook out a blanket and wrapped it around my shoulders.
24:06I turned and saw his parents huddled together, grinning at us like idiots.
24:09But the moment we looked back, they snapped their heads away.
24:12Beautiful mountain.
24:14Beautiful snow.
24:16Beautiful young time.
24:18Jace's face was red and I couldn't help it.
24:20The corner of my mouth turned up.
24:25I didn't enroll in the private high school my family owned shares in.
24:28Cole lost it and he left Olivia, who was getting sicker by the day,
24:31and skipped a grade so he could be a high school freshman with me.
24:35Felix fought his own family.
24:37His mother locked him in his room and that ridiculous engagement I'd already brushed off as a joke before summer
24:42break.
24:43Mrs. Adler, please, keep an eye on your son.
24:46Don't let him keep chasing me.
24:47I told his mother without mercy.
24:48I told the school in advance to turn away outside visitors.
24:52So in three years, I saw them maybe four or five times total.
24:55The day after the SAT, my parents, who I hadn't seen in forever, ambushed me at the school gate.
25:01I didn't get out fast enough.
25:02I don't know how, but the two of them looked like they'd aged ten years.
25:05My mother walked toward me with this pleading smile.
25:08I stepped back without thinking.
25:10She froze, then covered her mouth and crumpled into my father's chest, sobbing.
25:14He started crying too.
25:17Anya, mom missed you so much.
25:19Let me hug you, please.
25:21I frowned without meaning to.
25:23Who do you miss?
25:24Who do you want to hug?
25:25Me?
25:25You already have a son and a daughter.
25:27Smart son who adores his sister.
25:29Sweet, well-behaved daughter who respects her parents.
25:32Why would you miss me?
25:34My mother's sobs stopped cold.
25:35She looked up at me, panic on her face.
25:37She started shaking.
25:41No, that's not real.
25:43That was a dream.
25:43That wasn't real.
25:44She kept shaking her head, mumbling to herself.
25:46My father grabbed her, alarmed.
25:51Anya, what did you do to your mother?
25:53I'm a full meter away from her.
25:54I haven't laid a finger on her, Mr. Linster.
25:56What did you just call me?
25:57Mr. Linster?
25:59Anya, are you losing your mind?
26:00Your mother and I came all the way here for you,
26:02and this is how you-
26:03I thought my attitude was fine.
26:04Way better than how they'd treated me in my last life.
26:07I shrugged, stepped back.
26:08See you.
26:10Stop right there!
26:11He reached for my arm.
26:13I dodged.
26:15What, you want to hit me, Mr. Linchewski?
26:17I think we've spoiled you rotten.
26:19You need a lesson.
26:21His hand came up.
26:23My mother let out a scream that tore out of her chest.
26:25No!
26:26Don't hit her!
26:28She grabbed his arm, sobbing so hard her legs gave out and ended up on the ground.
26:32That's why she hates me so much.
26:34She covered her face with her hands and laughed and cried into the pavement.
26:37I turned to leave, and behind me, Jace's mother yelled joyfully,
26:40Sweetheart, over here!
26:42She and Jace's father were each holding a bouquet, waving at me hard.
26:46Jace also stood beside them.
26:48I went up on my toes and yelled back,
26:50Auntie!
26:51I ran to her.
26:52She tossed her flowers at Jace and grabbed me and spun me in a full circle.
26:56Feels better now that it's over, right?
26:58Take a few days.
26:59Then we mont blanc.
27:00Here we come.
27:00Um, yes.
27:01Jace took my bag.
27:02His dad pressed an ice cream into my hand.
27:04The four of us walked off together laughing,
27:06and behind us, two figures stood frozen,
27:08getting smaller and smaller in the distance.
27:12The day we flew to France, Jace's dad was driving,
27:15his mom was in the passenger seat humming, and both of them lit up.
27:18Jace and I, on the other hand, hit the back seats and were out cold.
27:23I figured we'd sleep all the way to the airport,
27:25and then his dad slammed on the brakes,
27:26and our heads cracked into the seat back.
27:29When I opened my eyes, a dark figure had launched in front of the car.
27:32If his dad's brakes hadn't been fast, the guy would have gone flying.
27:37Insurance scam?
27:38We piled out, but the man on his knees in front of the car was cold.
27:42I hadn't seen him in a year.
27:43The sight of him was a shock.
27:44He was so thin, painfully thin.
27:47Middle of summer, and he was bundled head to toe in heavy clothing,
27:50and his exposed face was covered in marks.
27:52Like claw marks, fingernails, old ones layered with new.
27:56A handsome face, basically ruined.
27:59I jumped.
28:00Jace and his dad immediately stepped in front of me and his mom.
28:02You sick, man?
28:04You want to play in traffic?
28:05Jace went full volume.
28:06I gave him a quiet thumbs up.
28:07He winked.
28:08Cole snapped like a stray dog gone feral.
28:11He slammed past Jace and threw himself at me,
28:13and his whole body was shaking,
28:14his red raw eyes pouring tears.
28:16Please forgive us.
28:16Come home and see mom.
28:18She's dying.
28:18I'm begging you.
28:19He was strong out of his mind.
28:21Both Jace's parents together couldn't pull him off me.
28:24Jace lost it.
28:25He grabbed a tire iron out of the trunk and went to swing it at Cole's head.
28:28Jake, don't!
28:30I yanked Cole down with me toward the curb.
28:33Jake, drop it.
28:34Honey.
28:34His mother and I shouted at the same time,
28:36and it finally pulled him back.
28:38The tire iron fell, cracked the pavement.
28:41Was he insane?
28:42You go to prison for killing someone?
28:44I looked at Jace, heart still hammering.
28:46He was more shaken than I was, jaw locked.
28:49Veins standing out in his neck.
28:51Something flickered.
28:52I felt like I'd seen this exact moment before,
28:54and I shook my head.
28:55Sweat ran down off my hairline,
28:57and I gave in, looked at Cole.
29:01I'll go with you.
29:02Let go.
29:03You're hurting me.
29:04Jace and his parents worried about me,
29:05so they drove me and Cole home.
29:07Cole was not okay.
29:09He huddled against the car window,
29:10shaking, mumbling garbled stuff.
29:13He turned to Jace.
29:15I've seen you before.
29:17It was you.
29:18It was you.
29:19I looked at Jace.
29:20His face was cold, blank.
29:22He also didn't look like himself.
29:24My heart skipped.
29:25I grabbed his arm.
29:26Jace?
29:27A grin appeared on his mouth.
29:28Your humble servant, at your command, my lady.
29:31Okay.
29:32Not body snatched.
29:33That weird.
29:34Definitely him.
29:35But Cole was looking at us with more horror now.
29:37He shrank further into the window.
29:39Already thin, next to Jace's broader build,
29:41he looked like a ghost.
29:42I felt uneasy.
29:43So I took Jace's hand,
29:45and before I could say anything,
29:46his face flushed all the way to his ears.
29:48Idiot.
29:50Back at the Lindquist house,
29:51I didn't know where to look first.
29:53The front door, painted over with vicious letters in red,
29:56die slow.
29:57Whole family burn.
29:58Hypocrites.
29:59I stepped around the paint,
30:00pushed the half-open door.
30:01The living room came into view.
30:03Tables smashed.
30:04Chairs broken.
30:05Couch.
30:06Scorched.
30:06The spiral staircase had bloody clothes scattered all the way up.
30:09I covered my mouth,
30:10came close to throwing up.
30:11Jace's mom was furious and scared at the same time.
30:14She wanted to take me right back out,
30:15but Jace, for once, stopped her.
30:17Mom.
30:19This needs an ending.
30:21This is Anya's call.
30:23Let her decide.
30:24I made a fist,
30:24looked at Cole,
30:25who'd been silent since we walked in.
30:27You dragged me here,
30:27and now you've gone mute?
30:28Where are your parents?
30:30Where's your sister?
30:31His body swayed.
30:32His chapped lips trembled.
30:34Dad's in the ER.
30:35Mom's in her room.
30:36Olivia's is in a psych world.
30:38My chest tightened.
30:39You lied to me.
30:40You said everyone was home.
30:42You said mom was just sick.
30:43It's not just my mom.
30:44She's our mom, Anaya.
30:46She's not.
30:46I was breathing wrong.
30:47You brought me here for what?
30:49My tents shifted my weight,
30:50blocked auntie behind me.
30:52No, no.
30:52I'm not here to hurt you.
30:54I swear.
30:55Mom is really dying.
30:57She didn't finish
30:59before my mother came stumbling out of her bedroom
31:01in a giant nightgown,
31:02hair everywhere,
31:03face hollowed out.
31:04The second she saw me,
31:05she nearly tumbled down the stairs.
31:07Anya.
31:08My Anya.
31:09Sweetheart.
31:10Are you hurt?
31:11Are you hurt?
31:12Anya.
31:13My baby girl.
31:15I'm so sorry.
31:16It's all my fault,
31:18my sweet girl.
31:19I shouldn't have let those people take you away.
31:22Were you scared?
31:24My Anya?
31:25Two tears fell from her eyes onto the back of her hand.
31:28Both of us froze.
31:29She knew she had the memory of last life.
31:31She was crying for the version of herself
31:32who watched her daughter get dragged into a psych ward
31:34sobbing until she vomited blood.
31:36Crying for the version of herself
31:37who let her daughter cling to a car door,
31:40begging to be hugged one more time,
31:41and turned away.
31:42Mia, stop with this insanity.
31:44Without you, I still have my son and daughter.
31:46My son is sweet and smart and adores his sister.
31:49My daughter is gentle and respectful.
31:51I can't imagine how I ended up with a neurotic mess like you.
31:54You're an embarrassment to this family.
31:56An embarrassment to this family.
31:57That was the last thing my mother had said to me in my last life.
31:59I'd realized a while back,
32:00she was starting to get her memories back too.
32:02The headmaster had asked me once,
32:04confused, if I had a nickname, Mia.
32:06Um, your mom texts me a lot,
32:08asked me to look after you.
32:09It was always normal.
32:10But the past two weeks,
32:11she keeps getting your name wrong.
32:13She thought it was a dream,
32:14or she'd lied to herself that it was a dream.
32:16But then she heard me.
32:17She realized it had all really happened,
32:19and she broke.
32:20Cole, send your mother to a psych ward.
32:23She's a better fit for the place than Olivia ever was.
32:25Cole, who had only been weeping,
32:26raised his head,
32:27looked at our increasingly unhinged mother,
32:29and dropped to his knees.
32:31While we waited for the doctor,
32:32I finally pieced together from Cole's broken account what had happened.
32:36Three years ago,
32:36Olivia had overheard our mother say she regretted adopting her.
32:39That broke something in her.
32:40The soft sweetness vanished.
32:41She turned obsessive.
32:43Vicious.
32:43Vicious to everyone.
32:44Worse to herself.
32:45She started cutting herself.
32:46In the middle of the night,
32:47she'd take a knife into our parents' bedroom,
32:49slice open her arm,
32:50bleed.
32:51Cutting and crying,
32:52telling them how her father had begged ours to take her in,
32:54saying she loved them,
32:55saying she couldn't be abandoned.
32:56The whole family was terrified.
32:58No one dared say the words,
32:59send her away again.
33:00They watched her even more carefully.
33:02Used to be out of love.
33:03Now it was fear.
33:05But she still felt unsafe.
33:06She started demanding everyone be with her,
33:08day and night.
33:09If anyone left,
33:09she screamed and clawed at whatever was in reach.
33:12Cole and Felix dropped out of school,
33:13because she'd clawed up their faces.
33:15And that's why Felix's family had gone to war with mine,
33:17a month before.
33:18My mother was already not right in the head.
33:20She would sit alone in a room and call out softly,
33:22My girl.
33:22My girl.
33:23Olivia,
33:24thinking her adoptive mother had finally come around,
33:26ran in to throw her arms around her.
33:28My mother shoved her heart onto the floor.
33:30The softness was gone.
33:31The way she looked at Olivia was pure revulsion.
33:33Olivia finally understood.
33:34She wasn't the girl being called.
33:36Her adoptive mother was calling someone else.
33:38Someone invisible.
33:39Her real daughter.
33:39Olivia couldn't take the humiliation.
33:41She started torturing all of them harder.
33:43When she overheard my parents talking about cutting her loose the day she turned 18,
33:46she got out the paint and ruined the whole front of the house.
33:49I'll expose you.
33:50You abused a dead man's daughter.
33:52May you all rot.
33:53The night before college application deadlines,
33:55she demanded that Cole stay up and take her to a bar.
33:57When Cole flatly said he didn't want to,
33:59she sliced her wrist.
34:00Cole panicked,
34:01bandaged her,
34:02and went.
34:02She drugged his drink.
34:03By the time Cole came to,
34:04it was late the next afternoon.
34:06Cole,
34:07I matter more than the college,
34:09right?
34:10I'm the most important,
34:11right?
34:11Cole shut himself in his room and refused to come out.
34:14What was harder to believe was that she'd used my name to lure Felix out too.
34:18Cole said Felix's drink wasn't drugged.
34:20At least before he passed out,
34:21Felix had been completely alert.
34:23Somehow,
34:23Felix didn't make it to the application either.
34:25Felix's father showed up at our house with men.
34:27The men he brought stabbed my father
34:29and dragged Olivia to a psych ward.
34:31My mother was still wildly unstable,
34:33especially after the doctors arrived.
34:35She wrapped both arms around me and wouldn't let go,
34:37screaming,
34:38Don't take my daughter!
34:39Don't take me away!
34:41I pried her hands off me.
34:42First,
34:42I'm not your daughter.
34:44Second,
34:44my name isn't Mia.
34:45And I hate that name about as much as I hate you.
34:48You and your husband weren't raising kids.
34:49You were running a fight ring.
34:51Last One Alive gets to call you mom?
34:52And honestly,
34:53I'm baffled.
34:54Every kid you adopt,
34:55every kid you raise,
34:56ends up a wreck.
34:57If you can't love your kids equally,
34:58why have them at all?
34:59She finally went silent,
35:00eyes huge,
35:01tears non-stop.
35:02In the end,
35:02like the last bit of air had been pushed out of her,
35:04she collapsed to her knees
35:05and let the doctors and nurses load her into the car.
35:07Past the bushes by the door,
35:09I could feel something burning into me.
35:10A stare.
35:11I turned.
35:12Just caught a limping figure walking away.
35:14The second I recognized that walk,
35:16Anya?
35:16Jace was calling me.
35:17I turned back.
35:18He was tilting,
35:19or doubling.
35:19His outline split into two,
35:21three.
35:21No,
35:21not him,
35:22and it was me.
35:23Anya.
35:24My head was so heavy,
35:25I'd walked into fog,
35:26like a stray ghost,
35:27drifting,
35:28searching,
35:28with nowhere to go.
35:29Anna.
35:30Anna.
35:31Anna.
35:32Someone calling me?
35:33But my name was Mia now,
35:34I'd had it changed.
35:35Anya.
35:36Don't scare me.
35:38Anya.
35:38Who was calling him?
35:39Sounded like a boy.
35:40Voice cracked with panic.
35:41Made me want to cry.
35:42I wanted to tell him.
35:43Don't cry.
35:44I'm not worth it.
35:45You are.
35:46You deserve to be loved.
35:47Anya.
35:48Is your real name Anya?
35:50It's beautiful.
35:51So much better than Mia.
35:53Anya.
35:54From now on,
35:54I'll only call you Anya.
35:55Don't be scared.
35:56If that psycho comes back,
35:57I'll throw him out.
35:58He tries to choke you again,
35:59touch you,
36:00I'll kill him myself.
36:01Hey, Anya.
36:02Don't cry.
36:03They just shocked me a couple times.
36:04I'm tough.
36:04I can take it.
36:05It doesn't hurt.
36:05Anya.
36:06What's wrong?
36:07Why are you coughing blood?
36:08You're scaring me.
36:09What?
36:09Where did these bruises come from?
36:11Your brother.
36:12Your brother kicked you.
36:13Is he even human?
36:14Anna.
36:15No.
36:17Don't close your eyes, please.
36:19The blurry voices in the fog
36:20and one clear sobbing voice overlapped.
36:22Oh, I know now.
36:24I see you.
36:26My chase.
36:27The boy who'd shared that psych ward with me once and last night.
36:30The boy who at 18 watched both his parents die,
36:33saving someone.
36:34The boy whose mind broke.
36:36The boy who,
36:37when Felix had a hand around my throat
36:38and his mouth on mine,
36:40broke out of his restraints
36:41and put a fist through Felix's temple.
36:43The boy who again and again
36:45sat through electroshock for me
36:47after I stopped breathing.
36:48He broke out of that godforsaken psych ward,
36:50set the Lindquist house on fire,
36:52watched them scream and run
36:53and shove each other in the flames
36:54all one by one,
36:55then took a piece of broken glass
36:57and dragged it across his own throat.
36:58We met again in the fog.
37:00He took my hand and led me forward step by step.
37:02Anya,
37:03why didn't I find you sooner?
37:05I love you.
37:06I love you.
37:07I love you so much.
37:08You deserve everything.
37:10Anya,
37:11if we get to do it over,
37:12stay far from what hurts you.
37:14Love yourself
37:15more than anyone.
37:16Promise me.
37:16Yes.
37:17I want to make the trade.
37:19Trade my whole soul
37:20for the love and feeling that girl pawned to you.
37:23She doesn't get to lose her ability to love.
37:25She has to love herself.
37:27She has to grow a heart that loves herself.
37:29Please,
37:30give it back.
37:31The sweet man looked up at the stubborn boy in front of him.
37:34His eyes held something almost like pity.
37:36All right.
37:37In fact,
37:40I'll make you a wager.
37:43How about it?
37:44I bet.
37:44This girl,
37:45even this lifetime,
37:47doesn't learn to love herself.
37:48I'll take every memory of you out of her.
37:50And you,
37:51I'll send back with these memories.
37:53You'll watch her,
37:54day after day,
37:54walk the same path,
37:55unable to speak,
37:56unable to change anything.
37:58He held out a hand,
37:59a contract.
38:00You're wrong.
38:02She will learn to love herself.
38:04I'm sure of it.
38:05The boy didn't hesitate,
38:06gave him his heart.
38:07A flash of white light.
38:09I opened my eyes.
38:11A hospital ceiling,
38:12and then by the bed,
38:13Jace.
38:13Slumped forward,
38:14gripping my hand like I might disappear.
38:17You're awake.
38:18My movement had woken him,
38:19and I looked at him,
38:20at the dark circles under his eyes,
38:22at the worry he was trying to hide.
38:24The tears came before I could stop them.
38:25I know.
38:27I know it was you.
38:28Before he could react,
38:29I threw myself into his arms.
38:32Two months later,
38:33I was discharged.
38:34The doctor said it was a short blackout
38:35caused by emotional overload.
38:37Jace and I got into the same university,
38:38just like we'd planned.
38:39In our free time,
38:40Jace put a lot of work
38:41into educating amateur climbers
38:43about the dangers of snow mountains
38:44and basic survival skills.
38:46The mountain rescue team we self-funded
38:48was now up and running,
38:49and his parents,
38:50still the same firecrackers
38:51they'd always been.
38:52and I thought about asking them
38:53to stop climbing.
38:53Jace and I both worried
38:54they'd lose their lives
38:55saving someone again.
38:56Every time I tried,
38:57the light in their eyes shut me up.
38:59People need to love things,
39:00for forcing them to give it up
39:02is its own kind of cruelty.
39:03Luckily.
39:04The fall,
39:04we turned 18.
39:05They saved the climber,
39:07clinging to a cliff edge.
39:08This time,
39:09with a professional rescue team
39:10backing them up,
39:11nobody got hurt.
39:12I saw the headline pop on my phone
39:14and grabbed Jace
39:15and made him do three laps
39:16around the field with me.
39:17He finally dropped the casual front,
39:19knelt on the rubber track,
39:20and cried and laughed for half an hour.
39:22I looked down,
39:23scrolled,
39:23a few headlines also popped out.
39:25Adler family declares bankruptcy.
39:27Patriarch sentence for hiring a hit.

39:30Olivia Lindquist confesses
39:32she drugged Felix Adler
39:33and handed him to men
39:34known to prey on young men.
39:35Love and revenge entangled.
39:37Felix Adler strangles Olivia Lindquist

39:41Death penalty likely.

39:45found dead at home.
39:46Suicide suspected.
39:46Hey,
39:48why aren't you comforting me?
39:49What are you reading?
39:50I gave up,
39:51took his hand.
39:52Comforting you?
39:53Not enough.
39:54What do you want?
39:55He leaned in.
39:57You?
39:58Shameless.
