00:00It was not until the day I went into labor that he broke my legs, threw me into the deep
00:04ocean,
00:05and let the fish and shrimp feast on my internal organs.
00:09You roared the pirates here! She was only killed because of your pathetic jealousy!
00:13Since you are so keen on competing with her for favor, I'll make sure you die the exact same way
00:18she did.
00:19In my previous life, when the pirates sneak attacked, my husband, a Navy lieutenant,
00:24took all the Marines out to sea, just to celebrate Lydia's birthday.
00:30Although pregnant, I crawled through the filthy sewer to find him and get all the men back.
00:35Luckily, all Islanders were saved except Lydia.
00:37A few escaping pirates caught her on their way out and tortured her to death to vent their rage.
00:44After Damien executed those pirates, he never mentioned this nightmare again.
00:49For months, he treated me like nothing happened.
00:52It was not until my labor day that I knew I knew he'd been waiting for this very to kill
00:56me and our baby,
00:57all to get revenge for Lydia.
01:00We died in agonizing pain.
01:04But when I opened my eyes again, the pain had vanished.
01:07I was back-pricked on the exact my eyes at the second chance.
01:11This time, if he wants to abandon his post and play hero for his precious love,
01:17then let him be.
01:18The second I woke up after my reborn, I saw the pirate speedboats cutting straight for the shore.
01:26My blood ran cold.
01:28I hit the siren without hesitating.
01:30It blared across the entire island, but the only cruiser big enough to evacuate everybody was already gone.
01:39My best friend stumbled over to me, her voice trembling with tears.
01:43Elena, they're breaching the shore.
01:44But where the hell are the marines?
01:46The main cruiser is gone too.
01:48What are we supposed to do?
01:50Before I could even answer, the rest of them swarmed around me.
01:53Their eyes were wide with pure terror and helplessness.
01:56As the only one who knew the truth, I had to tell them.
02:00Damien took all the marines and all the heavy weapons.
02:03What?
02:03Has he lost his mind?
02:04He took the cruiser out into open water to throw a birthday party for Lydia.
02:09Has he lost his damn mind?
02:11He knows the pirates target Coral Island all the time.
02:14Damien's mother started screaming.
02:16How can he take all the marines away?
02:18And Lydia, that little homewrecker, I told everyone she was bad news,
02:22playing the helpless victim while wrapping every man here around her little finger.
02:26And now look! Is she trying to get us all slaughtered?
02:30That bitch has zero shame!
02:33Her meltdown was the spark.
02:34The rest of the women exploded.
02:36She literally took our only defense with her!
02:38Shameless, seductress, troublemaker!
02:41While they were screaming, the pirate speedboats hit the shoreline.
02:46The panic spiked even higher.
02:48Stop panicking!
02:50Everyone get down into the underground bunkers now!
02:52I had to scream over the noise.
02:55Hurry!
02:56Everyone get inside!
02:58Coral Island was completely off the grid, miles from the mainland.
03:02Pirates raided these waters constantly,
03:04so the locals had built underground storm bunkers to survive.
03:07The bunkers were narrow and suffocating.
03:10They were packed wall-to-wall with terrified women and children.
03:14Above us, we could hear the pirates breaching the perimeter.
03:18They were tearing the island apart, laughing like maniacs as they hunted for women.
03:26Pure dread choked the air in that bunker.
03:29If we were going to survive, someone had to crawl out of the storm drain connected to the bunker.
03:34Elena, you know how to drive a speedboat.
03:36Crawl out there and find Damien.
03:38Tell him to bring the marines back and save us!
03:40I'm afraid even if I make it to him, Damien isn't coming back with me.
03:44The second the words left my mouth, the entire bunker went dead silent.
03:48Ever since Damien rescued Lydia and brought her to the island three months ago,
03:52they had been inseparable.
03:54He claimed he was just looking after her.
03:57Every day, he stayed by her side.
03:59They went fishing on the boats together.
04:01They ran tactical drills together.
04:03Half the island was already whispering that Damien and Lydia looked like the actual married couple.
04:08LT, you two match perfectly.
04:10More compare than you and your wife!
04:11But whenever people joked about it, Damien never backed off.
04:14He just pulled her closer.
04:15Because of that, I had fought with Damien a million times,
04:18screaming and demanding to know which one of us was actually his wife.
04:22But he didn't care.
04:24Instead, he just flipped it on me,
04:26calling me crazy and accusing me of being petty and jealous.
04:31The truth was, the second Lydia set foot here, my marriage was already dead.
04:37While everyone was frozen in panic,
04:39Damien's younger sister, Clara, stepped up.
04:43Let me do it.
04:43The Marines trust me.
04:45And Elena is pregnant.
04:47If she dies out there, Damien would never forgive me.
04:50Before I could stop her, she dropped down into the storm drain.
04:53She dragged herself through the wet, stinking pipe,
04:56crawling all the way out to the surface.
04:59We huddled in the bunkers.
05:00All of us prayed the pirates would not find us.
05:06But they did.
05:07A sharp-eyed pirate spotted the bunker entrance.
05:16They realized women were hiding inside.
05:18The pirates started smashing the steel door like crazy.
05:21Dad will come back to save us.
05:23Dad is a Marine.
05:25Dad is amazing.
05:27All they could do was pray the Marines would come back and save them.
05:31About half an hour later, Clara crawled back out of the storm rain.
05:34She was covered in filth.
05:37When everyone saw her, they started cheering.
05:39They thought she had brought the Marines back.
05:41I'm sorry.
05:43They refused to come back.
05:45Why?
05:46All their families are in here.
05:48Why won't they come back?
05:49Damien said I was lying.
05:50He said it would never suddenly attack Coral Island.
05:53He said I joined Elena and lied to him.
05:55Then he slapped me.
05:56That only made she bit her lip.
05:58Everyone saw the handprint on her face.
06:00That slut Lydia ruined everything.
06:02She's a snake.
06:03Damien abandoned his post for a woman.
06:05He threw all our lives away for her.
06:07Fight her.
06:07And the whole bunker exploded again.
06:09Then came a deafening boom.
06:11The pirates had started using explosives.
06:13The steel door would hold for one more hour at most.
06:16Don't panic.
06:17Starshark Island is the closest.
06:19It's only 20 minutes away.
06:20I can go there and bring back help.
06:21Elena, every woman and child here is counting on you.
06:24You have to bring help back.
06:26I nodded, forced myself through the stench, and crawled out through the storm rain to the surface.
06:31I scrambled onto the backup jet ski, then gunned it towards Starshark Island.
06:34When I reached the beach, I saw several armed men already waiting there.
06:38The moment I saw who it was, my eyes lit up.
06:41It was Marcus Hames, our deputy chief of the Marines.
06:43Wasn't he supposed to be out at sea with Damien?
06:46Why was he here?
06:47I had no time to think.
06:48I staggered toward him, but just as I was about to tell him about the pirate attack,
06:52he grabbed my arm and dragged me off the jet by.
06:56Elena, how can a woman be so pathetic?
07:00He looked at me with pure disgust.
07:03Rage sent tremors through my entire body.
07:06Damien was a monster.
07:08To stop me from calling for backup, he actually stationed guards on the only route to the neighboring islands.
07:13The pirates are attacking Coral Island right now!
07:15I'm not here to spread rumors, I'm here to save everyone!
07:18If we don't get help in an hour, everyone dies!
07:20Maybe it was my dead serious tone, but a flicker of doubt crossed his eyes.
07:24After all, his wife, his children, and his mother were all still on the island.
07:28Damien was a veteran with a perfect track record and incredible instincts.
07:32He had led the islanders to beat back dozens of pirate raids.
07:37Marcus went silent for a second, then he burst out laughing.
07:41Elena, you're a hell of an actress.
07:43I almost believed you.
07:45I know the lieutenant better than anyone.
07:47He's the head of the Marines.
07:48He has a massive sense of responsibility.
07:50How could he lack even basic awareness of an attack?
07:54His mockery like a knife in my heart.
07:56Tears blurred my vision.
07:58Dad will come back to save us.
08:01Every second wasted was a second closer to death for the women back home.
08:05Move aside!
08:06They're still waiting for me!
08:07I tried to push past him and run toward the island base, but Marcus pinned me down and pulled out
08:11a rope.
08:12You're not going anywhere.
08:13His expression was stone cold as he tied me up and threw me into the speedboat.
08:18As the boat sped away, Starshark Island grew smaller and smaller.
08:22I closed my eyes in total despair.
08:24On the cruiser anchored in open water, the Marines crowded around the deck and lit a fire.
08:29They sang Lydia Happy Birthday.
08:32Wearing a glamorous gown, she danced with Damien right in the middle of the singing.
08:36I stared at the man who in my past life had me killed for his true love.
08:41A fire of pure hatred spread through my chest.
08:44The pirates were about to break through the bunker's steel door.
08:47And he was still here, dancing with the woman he loved.
08:51The moment they noticed me, they stopped.
08:53Lydia walked up to me first.
08:55Elena, this is all my fault.
08:56If it weren't my birthday today, you wouldn't have to run around spreading lies about pirates.
09:01But when she looked at me, a tiny, mocking smile curled at the corner of her mouth.
09:06Damien gently stroked her hair.
09:07Then he looked at me with utter disgust.
09:10Baby, what did you do wrong?
09:12You're just innocent and sweet.
09:13She's the problem.
09:14She's so blinded by jealousy, she can't stand it.
09:17Just to fight for my attention, she'd actually play games with everyone's lives.
09:21The steel door on Coral Island won't hold much longer.
09:24If the pirates break into that bunker, every wife and child on that island will be dragged out and violated.
09:31But the only answer I got was a brutal slap across the face.
09:35Elena, let me make this very clear.
09:37The more you pull stunts like this, the more I absolutely hate you.
09:40I struggled.
09:41But no matter how hard I fought the ropes, I could not break free.
09:44I was so desperate, I was sobbing.
09:46But why stop me from getting help from the neighboring islands?
09:49Any later, and it really would be a massacre.
09:51Please, Damien, I'm begging you.
09:54I begged him over and over.
09:56You're staying tied up all night.
09:58Consider that your punishment for lying.
10:00But Damien did not untie me.
10:02Then he wrapped an arm around Lydia's slim waist and walked back to the fire.
10:06Right in the middle of everyone's singing, the two of them started dancing again.
10:10I watched them completely waste the last chance to save our people.
10:14It was over.
10:16Lydia's birthday party went on until dawn.
10:18Only then did everyone finally stop celebrating.
10:23They fired up the cruiser and had headed back to the dock.
10:27On the way back, they were still laughing and joking around.
10:31But when the ship pulled in, the only thing waiting for them was a landscape of smoking ruins
10:36and half-naked bodies scattered everywhere.
10:41The entire island was eerily silent.
10:44The bunker reeked of iron and rot.
10:46I stood at the threshold, my fingers white as I gripped the doorboard, tears streaming
10:51down my face.
10:53This shelter was supposed to be filled with women, children, and the elderly.
10:57Now, it was nothing but a graveyard of severed limbs.
11:01Everything was over.
11:04Marcus stepped into a pool of blood that hadn't even dried yet.
11:07A severed finger was floating in it.
11:09There was an old-fashioned thimble still on it.
11:11He recognized it instantly.
11:13His mother always used that thimble when she sewed.
11:15How could this happen?
11:17His voice shook so hard it barely sounded human.
11:20When he knelt to pick up the blood-stained thimble, his knees slammed into the concrete.
11:24He collapsed right there, sobbing.
11:28One of the younger men fell to his knees, too.
11:31His trembling hand picked up a tiny hair clip.
11:34It was his little sister's pink strawberry barrette.
11:36She wore it every single day.
11:38He clenched it in his fist and pressed it to his forehead.
11:41His shoulders shook violently.
11:44Regret spread through the bunker like a plague.
11:46Some men punched the walls.
11:48Some collapsed to the floor, staring into nothing as they repeated their family members' names.
11:53Others clung to each other and wailed.
11:55Their tears mixed with the blood on their faces under the flickering lights.
11:59I leaned against the wall and slowly slid down.
12:01My chest hurt so badly I could barely breathe.
12:03Something warm landed on the back of my hand.
12:05Only then did I realize I was crying so hard I couldn't stop.
12:08Looking at the horror in front of us, Lydia choked out a sob.
12:10Tears streamed down her face.
12:12She looked like she was too destated to go on.
12:14How could the pirates attack Coral Island today?
12:18Did they...
12:19Did they know it was my birthday, too?
12:21She added it softly, just loud enough for everyone to hear.
12:24That sentence hit the room like gasoline on an open flyme.
12:27Damien snapped his head up and glared at me.
12:29His eyes looked vicious enough to tear me apart.
12:31You knew the pirates were coming, didn't you?
12:32You chose today on purpose, all because you were jealous.
12:36You've been targeting Lydia since the day she got here.
12:38And now, just to frame her, you were willing to sacrifice everyone!
12:41I stared at his twisted face and suddenly felt something close to absurdity.
12:46To protect Lydia, he was actually pinning a massacre on me.
12:49Then, a slap cracked across my face.
12:53Pain exploded through my skin.
12:55I stumbled backward and slammed into a metal locker.
12:59The taste of iron filled my mouth.
13:01Marcus grabbed my collar.
13:03You bitch!
13:03Did you lure the pirates here just to get back at the lieutenant?
13:06His eyes were blown my head.
13:08My vision blurred with tears.
13:09Then he threw me to this knee, crushed into my stomach.
13:12The back of my head slammed against the concrete.
13:15Everything went black for a second.
13:16Someone finally rushed over to stop him.
13:18Do you even know what you're doing?
13:20How many times has he as Elena tutored our kids?
13:24Last time the pirates came, who carried the wounded for miles?
13:29You don't get it.
13:31She brought them here.
13:32Otherwise, why is she the only one left alive?
13:35Marcus' voice was trembling now.
13:36Why was she the only one who survived?
13:38How did she survive?
13:38My mom!
13:39My wife!
13:40My child!
13:41How could you do this?
13:43How could you do this?
13:46More and more people closed in around him.
13:49Every pair of bloodshot eyes was filled with pure hate.
13:52They kept coming closer.
13:53I shrunk back on instinct, wrapping both arms around my stomach.
13:58Right when I thought I was about to die,
14:00Damien stepped through the crowd and stood in front of me again.
14:04Damien came walking in from behind the crowd.
14:07The marines automatically stepped aside for him.
14:10He was wearing a crisp new outfit.
14:12Even his boots were polished spotless.
14:15He looked completely different from everyone else covered in blood and filth.
14:18I was curled up in the corner against the wall.
14:21My fingers twisted helplessly in my clothes.
14:24My knuckles had gone white.
14:25The baby inside me seemed to sense the danger.
14:28A small kick pressed against my stomach.
14:31Damien crouched down in front of me and brushed the messy hair off my forehead.
14:36Elena, does it hurt?
14:38He sighed my name.
14:40His fingers touched my swollen cheek.
14:42Even if you are my wife, you killed all these people.
14:45I can't let you live.
14:48His breath was warm against my ear.
14:51But every word out of his mouth was poison.
14:53He was here to condemn me himself.
14:55Once he pinned the blame on me for luring the pirates here and killing everyone's wives and children,
15:00they could execute me openly.
15:02And just like that, no one would blame him anymore for taking all the marines away and leaving the island
15:07defenseless.
15:09When Damien's boot slammed into my stomach, I heard something in something with me break.
15:13I curled up on the ground.
15:14My nails scraped into the cracks in the concrete.
15:17Warm blood poured down between my legs.
15:19It spread across the pale floor in a bright, pooling stain.
15:23My shaking hand went to my stomach.
15:24The place that had once curved gently with life was now terrifyingly flat.
15:29Five months.
15:29Seventeen tiny kicks.
15:31All those nights I whispered to the ultrasound photo in the dark.
15:34All of it turned to blood under one kick.
15:36Elena, you went too far.
15:38Damien and I got a little close.
15:40But you've always been the one he couldn't get over.
15:42Lydia still stood there, adding fuel to the fire.
15:45You should never have made a joke like this in such a cruel way.
15:49She blinked and one perfect tear rolled down her face, just as Damien lifted a hand to order the marines
15:54to deal with me.
15:55Stop!
15:57A familiar voice rang out, and everyone turned.
16:01Clara was walking toward us with a huge group of children behind her.
16:06Through Clara, they learned the truth.
16:09To protect the children, Martha and all the women chose to fight the pirates to death.
16:14They used their own lives to carve out a blood-spoked path of survival for Clara and the kids.
16:21The marines rushed forward, frantic, grabbing their children into their arms.
16:25The children survived, but the mothers and grandmothers who died were never coming back.
16:31Damien went pale.
16:32His lips trembled, but he could not say a word.
16:35We didn't die!
16:36Clara turned to the marines and pointed straight at her brother.
16:39You!
16:40If you hadn't taken all the marines away, none of this would have happened!
16:43You and Lydia killed everyone!
16:46Dad is not the only one guy.
16:48Lieutenant, didn't you say Clara was just being jealous?
16:50Didn't you say she was making it all up?
16:52Didn't you say we were supposed to ignore her and focus on Lydia's birthday?
16:55Why is my mother dead?
16:57Why is my wife gone?
17:00The marines who had lost their families started walking towards Damien, step by step.
17:07Damien's face turned white as paper.
17:10I looked at the blood all over the ground, and tears slid down my face.
17:14I had been reborn.
17:16I changed my own fate, but I still could not save everyone.
17:20The furious men charged Damien and Lydia all at once.
17:23Their screams came one after another, louder and louder, without end.
17:28I should have felt satisfied, but all I felt was sorrow and bitterness.
17:33The next second, I blacked out.
17:36When I opened my eyes again, the sharp smell of disinfectant hit my nose.
17:42Outside the window, I could hear buildings collapsing now and then,
17:45and each crash sent dust rising into the air.
17:48I leaned against a hospital bed that felt like it might fall apart any second.
17:52The metal frame creaked under the weight.
17:54The wound in my abdomen throbbed bately,
17:56and the flatness beneath the bandages reminded me that the life inside me was gone forever.
18:02Marcus was kneeling ramrod straight on the floor,
18:05his forehead pressed against the cold dirt.
18:07The second he heard me move, he jerked his head up.
18:09I'm not even human. I'm sorry, Elena.
18:12The man who once looked so vicious was now covered in tears and snot.
18:15He slammed his head into the ground.
18:18Clara waved her hand in front of my face and draped her tattered parko over me.
18:24I came back to myself, realizing my minds had already dug deep into my palm.
18:30Outside, the wet sea wind blew in through the window with a metallic smell.
18:33For one sickening second, it blended with the blood-soaked memory of the concrete floor.
18:38That's enough. You were trying to protect everyone, too.
18:41Marcus was still apologizing. I lifted a weak hand to stop him.
18:44Oh, now you know how to apologize?
18:46You were real tough when you were backhanding her, weren't you?
18:50Before I could finish, Clara smacked the back of his head.
18:53Marcus did not dodge.
18:55Instead, he grabbed my hand and slapped it against his own face.
18:58His cheekbone hit my knuckles so hard it hurt.
19:01Something hot ran down through our fingers.
19:03I could not tell if it was his tears or the blood from my palm.
19:06I deserved to die. I was blind.
19:09I knew the moment my baby turned into a pool of blood on that floor would scar him for the
19:13rest of his life.
19:14Enough.
19:14But I was still drowning in the pain of losing my child.
19:17At that moment, I had no comfort left to give.
19:19Marcus, can you do me a favor?
19:23I want Damien and Lydia dead.
19:25I sat there for a long time before I finally spoke.
19:28What do you mean?
19:28He looked up at me with blood-red eyes and nodded without hesitation.
19:31That kind of heartless animal still thinks he deserves to be the lieutenant?
19:34How is anyone supposed to trust him with their lives?
19:35Marcus stood up in silence and pulled out a blood-stained tactical knife.
19:39It had been Damien's birthday gift to him.
19:41He dropped it to the floor and crushed it under his boot until it snapped.
19:44Leave it to me.
19:46That day, the Marines did not kill Damien and Lydia.
19:49They beat them half to death first.
19:51After that, they locked them up.
19:52Even without me saying a word, they had already decided the two of them would die brutally.
19:57Marcus led a group of Marines in, dragging the filthy, broken pair forward with ropes.
20:01Then they threw them into the pit where the island kept its wild animals.
20:09Marcus!
20:10Elena!
20:11You can't do this to me!
20:12I saved your lives before!
20:13If it weren't for me, you all would have died in the very first pirate raid!
20:16Damien screamed like a madman.
20:18He did not want to die.
20:19He wanted to use that old debt to force everyone into sparing him.
20:24Elena!
20:25I know I was wrong!
20:26I shouldn't have fought you over a man!
20:28I'll give Damien back to you!
20:30Lydia was a sobbing mess.
20:32Please let me go!
20:33Tears streaming down her face.
20:34Please!
20:35I don't want to die!
20:37You didn't want to die?
20:39Did the others want to die?
20:41I listened to both of them beg.
20:43My face stayed cold and felt nothing.
20:46When no one spoke up for him, humiliation flashed across Damien's face.
20:50But it quickly twisted into something uglier.
20:53Clara!
20:54I'm your brother!
20:56Didn't dad tell you before he died to listen to me?
20:58So now you're turning against your own family?
21:01Listen to you?
21:02Clara suddenly laughed.
21:04She pulled something from her tactical pouch and threw it in his face.
21:07It was our mother's pocket watch.
21:08Inside the cracked glass was a yellowed note.
21:10Clara, be like Elena.
21:12Never be like your brother.
21:14Damien recoiled like he had been burned.
21:16By then, the crowd had already closed in.
21:18The old marines who had once supported him the most were now looking at him with nothing
21:21but icy disappointment.
21:23What do you mean turning against family?
21:25You really have no idea how much Elena did for us, do you?
21:29Clara's voice shook.
21:31Then at least remember this.
21:33Last month when the pirates attacked, Elena was pregnant and still held the South Gate with
21:37the South Gate with everyone else.
21:39And where was your Lydia?
21:40Every time something happened, she suddenly got sick.
21:42She always hid in the safest place and never came out.
21:46Clara hurled a blood-stained phone at Damien.
21:49The screen cracked on impact, but the footage still played.
21:53Late at night in the clinic, I was asleep at the desk, surrounded by I'd stayed up all
21:56night preparing.
21:57In a storm, I was reinforcing the eastern wall alone, drenched to the grand short.
22:01I secretly slipped my own share into an orphan's backpack.
22:04Damien went pale.
22:05His lips trembled, but no words came out.
22:07No one listened to their begging.
22:09The marines shoved both of them straight into the cage.
22:11The second the wild animals saw living people, they exploded with terrifying energy.
22:16They lunged.
22:17Lydia screamed, but she could do nothing.
22:20A tiger knocked her to the ground.
22:22Drought and smelling fluid splashed across Damien's face.
22:25His expression changed instantly.
22:28He tried to run, but a wild wolf launched at him and sunk its teeth into his caw.
22:33His skin started turning gray right in front of our eyes.
22:37Help!
22:38Help me!
22:38Damien dropped to his knees and crawled toward me.
22:41My finger trembled on the trigger.
22:43For a split second, I saw that night in the delivery room for my last life again.
22:47His twisted face in the middle of the chaos as he demanded that I pay with my life.
22:52Elena, save me!
22:54Damien crawled closer.
22:55His cloudy eyes widened in terror.
22:58A broken wrasse came out of his throat.
23:00The barrel of my gun lowered with his body.
23:02The scunshot shook rustly from the ceiling.
23:05A hole blossomed in the center of Damien's forehead.
23:08And the final look frozen on his face was not fear.
23:12It was relief.
23:13Lydia didn't even last long enough for me to pull the trigger.
23:16The tiger had already torn through her carotid artery.
23:20Her perfectly curled hair was soaked in blood.
23:23One of her pearl earrings rolled to my feet.
23:27After both of them were torn apart by the beasts, the marines still weren't satisfied.
23:31They stormed into the holding pit.
23:33Gunfire rained down as they emptied every last bullet into the bodies.
23:37Her polished fingers were still clutching Damien's arm.
23:39Her nails were dug deep into the shredded flesh of his skin.
23:42Marcus kicked Lydia's twisted corp aside and held out a gas can to me.
23:46You want to light it yourself?
23:48The cold metal against my hand made me think of the hospital hallway floor that night in my last life.
23:54When Damien dragged me away from the delivery room, the fire rose higher.
23:57The heat twisted the air.
23:59I stood there and watched the bodies burn, but I felt no warmth.
24:02That was when I understood.
24:04Revenge wasn't sweet.
24:05It was scorching ash.
24:07It burned the throat.
24:08It choked off every curse and every question I never got to say.
24:11Somewhere in the distance, one of the younger marines started crying.
24:15They would never understand that this fire wasn't only burning two filthy bodies.
24:19It was burning a wife's last faith in her husband and a mother's last dream for her child.
24:26When the first rays of sunrise tore through the clouds, I stood on the rebuilt watchtower and looked down at
24:31the brand new harbor.
24:32In the distance, the newly formed children's Kwa'wis had already started rehearsing.
24:36Their young voices floated through the morning light.
24:41The water rose that самое was sold on the day.
24:41It was burning a young soul for a young lady.
24:41You
