Short filmTranscript
00:00After I died, everyone realized the countdown above my sister's head was mine.
00:05Everyone in the pack could see the death mark above my sister's head.
00:09They all knew.
00:10She would die on her 20th birthday.
00:12We were twins, wearing the same face.
00:15And yet, only she had that countdown hanging over her.
00:18So Stella became the most precious person in our household.
00:22The good snacks were hers.
00:24The pretty dresses were hers.
00:25Even the bedtime stories mom and dad told belonged to her.
00:29I pitied her.
00:30And I resented her for having all of it.
00:33Then, her 20th birthday finally arrived.
00:36Afraid I would cause trouble, my parents locked me in the storage room.
00:40They had forgotten I'd been sick for a week.
00:43Mom, let me out! My head really hurts!
00:46That's enough. Your sister is dying today.
00:49Can't you manage for just one day?
00:52But I feel terrible.
00:55Outside, the entire pack had gathered around the house,
00:58keeping silent vigil.
01:00From somewhere deep in the woods came the sound of howling.
01:04The clan sending Stella off.
01:06In the storage room, my wolf was fading with me.
01:40My body went suddenly weightless.
01:43Through the old wooden door, I could see the warm glow of the living room lights.
01:47Mom and dad were pressed close to Stella on the couch.
01:50Mom, dad, is Ivy really okay?
01:54I heard her say her head hurt.
01:57Don't worry about her.
01:58Exactly. She's not really sick.
02:01She's just putting it on for sympathy.
02:03Stella pressed her lips together and said nothing more.
02:06But the crease in her brow only deepened.
02:08I knew.
02:09She'd always felt she owed me something.
02:12For as long as either of us could remember,
02:14every bit of warmth in that house had been piled onto her.
02:17We were born on the same day,
02:20but we might as well have grown up in two different worlds.
02:23I had to watch and wait even for a bowl of hot vegetable soup,
02:26let alone new clothes or new toys.
02:29I was an adult now, but as thin as a 15-year-old.
02:32But Stella would always sneak her snacks and new clothes to me.
02:36Whenever mom and dad came down on me,
02:38she was always the first one to step in.
02:41She always said,
02:42Ivy, I'm sorry.
02:44It's because of me that you get treated this way.
02:46But our parents saw it differently.
02:48Right now, in fact,
02:50Have you already forgotten what happened on your 18th birthday?
02:52Stella's 18th birthday.
02:54That was the day our family,
02:56against all habit,
02:57splurged on a cream cake.
02:59Mom had lit the candles with careful, trembling hands.
03:03Dad held up the old camera he'd had for years,
03:06trying to capture one of the few birthdays Stella would ever have.
03:09I watched from behind the door.
03:11The candlelight caught Stella's face.
03:13She closed her eyes to make a wish.
03:15My parents blinked hard against their tears.
03:18And then I ran out.
03:20Maybe I just couldn't bear losing the one person
03:22who'd always been gentle with me.
03:24I grabbed the cake and overturned it.
03:27Cream smeared across the floor.
03:28I don't want to see you throwing her a birthday party!
03:31I still remember the look on my parents' faces.
03:35Stop! Dad, stop hitting her!
03:37It's my fault!
03:39This is my fault!
03:42That night, Stella crept into my room
03:44and pressed a small piece of chocolate into my palm,
03:47one she'd been saving away.
03:49There was a red welt on her wrist
03:51from where a chair had caught her when she got between us.
03:55Ivy, I'm sorry.
03:58I was already dead,
04:00staring dumbly at my own transparent fingers.
04:02The storage room door was still shut
04:04and saw myself curled among the clutter inside.
04:07My death had come before Stella's countdown memory came flooding back.
04:12When I was very small,
04:13before I knew the countdown to Stella's death had already begun,
04:17I had truly hated her.
04:19There was only one piece of candy in the house.
04:21It was Stella's.
04:22The only apple got sliced in two.
04:24The bigger half for Stella,
04:26the smaller for me.
04:27New clothes always went to Stella first.
04:30By the time they reached me,
04:32they were worn thin and patched over patches.
04:34Bedtime stories too.
04:36Hers.
04:36I would crouch outside the door with my arms around my knees.
04:40Why couldn't they read one to me too?
04:42One summer when I was five,
04:44a neighbor brought over a chicken.
04:46At dinner,
04:47mom carefully lifted both drumsticks
04:49and placed them in Stella's bowl.
04:51Why does Stella get both drumsticks?
04:53I want some too!
04:55I want some too!
04:56Ivy!
04:57What is wrong with you?
04:58Don't you know Stella isn't well?
05:00Don't you...
05:02Don't you know...
05:04Stella...
05:04I didn't know.
05:05All I knew was that Stella's face was always pale.
05:09Why don't you just die?
05:11Give me back all my things!
05:15Let her learn.
05:17Let her understand what she can and cannot say.
05:20Fifteen more years.
05:22The next morning,
05:23I eavesdropped on my parents talking.
05:24I know.
05:26Mom's voice was wet with crying.
05:30That was the moment I understood.
05:33Stella was really going to die.
05:34That number above her head,
05:36visible to every wolf in the pack,
05:38was her death mark.
05:39Now, mom and dad guided Stella back to her room.
05:44Maybe...
05:44Maybe we should let Ivy out.
05:46Let her wait a little longer.
05:49After Stella goes,
05:50we'll make it up to her.
05:51We will.
05:54He walked to the kitchen,
05:56took a small piece of bread from the cupboard,
05:58and carried it toward where I was.
06:01We'll be right back there.
06:03Just like that.
06:22I'll see you next time.

20:00stella stood under the eve and slowly folded herself down arms wrapped around her knees
20:18grandma boarded the train back to the countryside the urn held in her lap i drifted alongside her and
20:24watched the world stream past the window it was dark by the time we reached the old farmhouse she
20:29set the urn on the table and straightened it she stood before it for a long time then she turned
20:35and looked directly at where i was floating ivy i went still the word came out before i could think
20:43and then i remembered i was dead i couldn't make sounds anymore but she nodded grandma can see you the
20:52tears

21:05i lunged toward her trying to hold on and pass straight through i hung in the air looking at
21:11my transparent hands and at her old tired face and i finally let myself cry

23:27it is it good but the scent was there that faint clean sweetness off the skin i nodded as hard
23:35as i could
23:35even knowing she couldn't see me do it she smiled and then still smiling she began to cry
23:42good good she turned away and scrubbed her eyes with her sleeve that night grandma told me stories
23:48about when i was small and she used to come visit in the city and i would climb into her
23:52lap and stay
23:53there about the fever i had when i was three how she sat up with me night after night cooling
23:59me down
23:59with a damp cloth humming until i fell asleep about my first trip to the countryside when i was five

24:54last time toward her face as always i touched nothing in the growing light i dissolved bit by
25:01bit going transparent my wolf stirred beside me it lifted its head and looked at the world for the
25:07first time and the last i turned toward the light and let it take me up and up further and
25:13further

25:21white i closed my eyes
