Short filmTranscript
00:01That pearl is inside her! Split her open and take it!
00:08Here, deliver this to the queen and be done with it.
00:11Look! There's still one that got away!
00:14I watched my own sister be killed right before my eyes.
00:19Since you can't bear to leave, then stay forever!
00:23Arrows, shoot her down! Wipe out every last trace!
00:27A sky-blotting volley of arrows tore through the air.
00:31I plunged into the water, swimming for my life.
00:33I hid beneath a dark reef.
00:36Blood stung my eyes as my tears hardened into Siren's grief pearls,
00:41each one deep red with blood.
00:43Nerissa's last words echoed in my head.
00:46Live, Serena. Whatever it takes, live.
00:51Legend has it that deep in the abyss of light live the Sirens,
00:56and within their queen resides a flawless Tide Pearl.
01:00Whoever possessed it would gain eternal beauty and youth.
01:05Isolde grew obsessed.
01:07To please him, King Aldrich sent his men and wizards to cut open Nerissa's body and take her Tidal Pearl.
01:14That day, the sea ran red.
01:17My people floated everywhere, their bellies split open.
01:22They knew the Siren Queen carried a legendary Tide Pearl.
01:25They had no idea there were two of us.
01:28Twin-born queens.
01:30The other queen was born with the Siren's allure.
01:33Her blood could sustain a thousand shadow familiars.
01:36That queen was me.
01:38I dragged myself onto the shore.
01:41The pain ate at my bones.
01:44I gritted my teeth and sang the old Siren curse.
01:47My tail turned into two human legs with a sickening crunch.
01:51I sliced my wrists open.
01:54Let the writhing shadows drink.
02:01I mastered blood sorcery in three months.
02:04A magic most humans never master in a lifetime.
02:08I clawed my way to the capital, Aurelia.
02:11I slipped into the ivory palace disguised as a court dancer.
02:15I handed a greedy servant a bag of my Siren's grief pearls.
02:21Soon, I had eyes on King Aldrich's every move.
02:30At night, the moonlight spread across the shore as I danced over the waters of Mirror Lake.
02:38You dance like no one I've ever seen.
02:41Who are you?
02:43It's a dance from my homeland.
02:46Few ever get to see it.
02:56The queen loves to dance too.
02:58The midsummer court is coming up.
03:00Perhaps you shall dance for her at the feast.
03:02Your majesty.
03:04I didn't realize who you were.
03:06Please forgive me.
03:08No need to apologize, my lady.
03:10Just don't disappoint me.
03:12Or the queen.
03:13I accepted.
03:15As Aldrich turned his back, I stirred my fingers.
03:19A tiny shadow familiar burrowed silently into his skin.
03:24By noon the next day, all of Ivory Palace was talking about the king meeting a beautiful dancer by the
03:30lake.
03:31By sunset, even the stable boys had their own version of the story.
03:36A sharp knock came at my door.
03:39It was Queen Isolde's mistress of the household.
03:42They marched me right to Queen Isolde.
03:44That was her.
03:46The woman who slaughtered my people and killed Nerissa.
03:49All for a single tide pearl.
03:52This is what my husband sends me?
03:54A scarred little creature from the gutter?
03:57Before stepping inside, I used a glamour weaver to hide my face under a grotesque mask of fake whip scars
04:04and pockmarks.
04:06Isolde was deadly jealous.
04:08If she saw my real face, I'd never survive the night.
04:16Rest assured your grace.
04:19I shall wear a veil.
04:20You won't have to endure my face for long.
04:22Very well.
04:24Looking like that, you couldn't cause a ripple in a bathtub.
04:27I'll accept Aldrich's gift.
04:29Isolde waved her hand.
04:31The mistress of the household dragged me out.
04:33Right outside the doors, I ran straight into Aldrich.
04:37He took one look at me.
04:38This scarred, ruined face looked nothing like the girl from the lake.
04:44But my scent gave me away.
04:46He instantly knew I was fighting for my life.
04:48If Isolde had seen the real me, there'd be a corpse on the floor right now.
04:53What did it matter if she held all the king's favor now?
04:57The higher they rise, the harder they fall.
05:01Back in my room, I shed the glamour weaver.
05:04The face in the mirror was flawless, luminous as moonlight.
05:10Isolde, didn't you want the siren's allure?
05:14Didn't you crave eternal youth?
05:16Hmm.
05:18I was going to make sure everything you ever wanted slipped through your fingers.
05:30Soon, Nerita. Soon.
05:33She will be the first I send screaming into the dark to answer for what she's done to you.
05:39The Midsummer Court.
05:40Three days of feasts, fights, and dancing.
05:43And no sleep.
05:45White water lilies covered Mirror Lake overnight.
05:48The Lords whispered.
05:49Some called it a blessing from the stars.
05:52Others, a dark omen.
05:54Where is the gift you promised your Majesty?
06:00Ooh.
06:05Ooh.
06:08Ooh.
06:09Ooh.
06:11Ooh.
06:11Ooh.
06:11Ooh.
06:11Ooh.
06:13Ooh.
06:17A dance for her grace's honor.
06:20May the king and his queen know joy unending.
06:22May the kingdom of Valton prosper in glory.
06:25Rise.
06:26You were...
06:28extraordinary.
06:29How...
06:31delightful.
06:32You like it?
06:33Good.
06:34The whispering hex was working.
06:36The shadow familiar was already inside his mind, tugging at his thoughts.
06:41I didn't want to push it too far.
06:43I flicked a finger, ready to call the shadow back.
06:46Give her to me, King Aldrich.
06:48In return, my father's armies will never cross your borders.
06:51Who speaks?
06:55Sire is Norberg's crown prince.
07:00King Aldrich.
07:02I'm Norame's crown prince, Kasvar.
07:06A hundred years of peace for one woman.
07:08I'd say you're getting the better deal.
07:11A century of peace.
07:13Trading a mere dancer to stop a war?
07:16Not a single lord here would say no to that deal.
07:19A crown prince offers a crown for a dancer.
07:23Any woman in this kingdom would weep with gratitude.
07:26The council of lords traded looks.
07:29Politically, it was the perfect bargain.
07:33Aldrich went dead silent.
07:34He knew exactly what he should say.
07:37So why did his chest suddenly tighten?
07:41I looked up.
07:42I stared right at him.
07:48You've come too late, Prince Kasvar.
07:50She belongs to the crown.
07:53Your majesty?
07:56Kasvar stared Aldrich down.
07:58A slow smirk spread across his face.
08:00Then he turned and vanished into the crown.
08:04Cold sweat drenched my back.
08:06Thankfully, I hadn't called the whispering hex back yet.
08:10Without that shadow in his mind, Aldrich would never have claimed me aloud.
08:14A century of peace without drawing a single sword?
08:19No king turns that down.
08:22Aldrich claimed me in broad daylight.
08:26By nightfall, a royal decree awaited me.
08:30A sealed writ.
08:32I was officially named the crown's grace.
08:35Moved to Dawnlight Hall.
08:37And placed under the king's personal protection.
08:40As I left the dancers' quarters,
08:42I stopped at the end of the hall and stared out into the dark.
08:46Narissa, are you watching?
08:50I was going to make them pay a thousandfold for what they did to you.
08:55When I got to Moonveil Tower, Isolde was already waiting.
08:59She stared at my bare face in the moonlight.
09:03The veil was gone.
09:05You lied to me.
09:09Had I shown you this face that day,
09:11I wouldn't have lived long enough to bore you with it.
09:14You read me well, but guess what?
09:16Parade around as the king's new favorite, all you want.
09:20Crown's grace or not, I will kill you just the same.
09:22So you've already decided how I die, is that so?
09:25A tragic palace fire.
09:26The lovely crown's grace, Soraya, reduced to ash.
09:31Aldric and I were wed before he wore the crown.
09:34My father and brother bleed for his kingdom.
09:37Do you truly think you'll mourn a dancer?
09:41Her guards grabbed me.
09:43They bound my hands and feet and threw me to the stone floor.
09:49They doused the room in whale oil.
09:52A spark dropped.
09:54Flames erupted.
09:57Aldric is insensible with drink tonight.
09:59No one is coming to save me.
10:02I watched her disappear through the tower door.
10:05I didn't even flinch.
10:07As the fire roared, the guards at the door suddenly grabbed their throats.
10:12Blood poured out of their eyes and mouths.
10:15They dropped dead.
10:17One by one.
10:19I walked through the flames with Nyx.
10:23A shadow spinner spider scuttled across the floor, leading the way.
10:27I sprinted after it.
10:29Suddenly, I slammed into a solid chest.
10:32I jerked my head up, wide-eyed.
10:35Tears pooled in my eyes, but I bit my lip hard to hold them back.
10:40Who dared set fire inside my palace?
10:43Find them.
10:44Now!
10:45I pressed my face into his chest.
10:47I didn't say a word.
10:49He knew exactly who did it.
10:50That was pure theater for the court.
10:52He and Isolde had a history that went back to their childhood.
10:56Those roots ran deep.
10:57Moreover, she had House Ashford and half the Council of Lords backing her.
11:01He wasn't going to lay a finger on his queen for a dancer he barely knew.
11:06Aldric, I'm frightened.
11:09He was definitely drunk.
11:10His face was flushed, and his breath reeked of heavy wine.
11:14The sweet scent of my allure coiled around him.
11:17Deep inside him, my shadow-familiar tugged his darkest desires.
11:21His eyes quickly clouded over.
11:23They burned dangerously hot.
11:25He scooped me up in his arms and carried me straight to the king's chamber.
11:30Word would reach Isolde fast.
11:32She wasn't going to take this lying down.
11:36Sure enough, I hadn't been in the chamber long before a guard called out from the door.
11:41Your majesty, the queen is unwell.
11:44She requests your presence at once.
11:47Shall I release you to your queen?
11:50I would hate to keep you from your... duties.
11:53When you're beside me, I forget there is anyone else in this castle.
11:57I let out a soft laugh.
11:59We were the only two left in the chamber.
12:01He leaned in close, his hot breath brushing my neck.
12:05Then he went limp.
12:06A fleshy, pink dream spinner burrowed slowly into his forehead.
12:11I shoved him back onto the four-poster bed and pulled the covers up.
12:17I wove you a beautiful dream.
12:20Enjoy it.
12:21I bit my lip until blood welled up, then leaned over as if to kiss him.
12:27Instead, I let exactly three drops of cursed blood fall past his parted lips.
12:33He swallowed it in his sleep.
12:35Three drops tonight.
12:37Three tomorrow.
12:39Three the night after.
12:41Soon, the poison would seep into his bones so deeply that no healer could purge it.
12:48No one except me.
12:50I wiped the blood off my mouth with the back of my hand.
12:54I stared at the dark red smear on my skin.
12:57This is what your mercy left you with, King Aldric.
13:01A monster in your bed.
13:04A tiny scratching sound came from the windowsill.
13:07A shadow spinner spider, no bigger than a fingernail.
13:11One of my many eyes inside the palace.
13:15Isolde was coming.
13:16Isolde was standing right outside the chamber doors.
13:20She was backed by her ladies-in-waiting, two sworn guards, and her personal healer.
13:27This wasn't just a jealous wife complaining.
13:29It was a siege.
13:31I stood at the top of the stairs.
13:33I purposely swept my hair to the side.
13:36I let the moonlight hit the fresh, red mark on my neck.
13:40The king is asleep, your grace.
13:43Perhaps come back tomorrow.
13:45You gutter-born nobody, I will kill you!
13:48Careful, your grace.
13:50All that fury, it'll age you faster than time.
13:54And from what I hear, time has not been kind to your efforts.
13:59That one sentence froze her in her tracks.
14:03Five years of marriage.
14:05Still no heir.
14:07The Council of Lords was whispering.
14:09Her father's letters were getting shorter.
14:12Even the servants looked at her differently now.
14:14She had begged every street healer in the kingdom.
14:18Still no heir.
14:20Rumor had it, she was cursed.
14:24Guards, seize her!
14:26I want her flogged until there's nothing left to flog!
14:30I had just struck at the rawest wound she had.
14:33Right in front of her entire retinue.
14:36I calmly shook off the guards' reaching hands.
14:39Then I spoke the words that shocked the hallway into dead silence.
14:44If I'm harmed, your grace, say goodbye to the child growing in your belly.
14:52Well, am I with child or not?
14:54Your grace, there is a life force.
14:57You are undoubtedly carrying a child.
15:02Truly?
15:04Even someone that arrogant could break down like this.
15:08Then she looked at me.
15:10Remembering my threat, she snapped at the healers.
15:12The child, is it stable?
15:15Your grace, the life force is strong and steady.
15:17Everything is perfect.
15:18Isolda smiled.
15:19When she turned back to me, the pure, murderous hate returned to her eyes.
15:27I finally have an heir.
15:29We should be celebrating.
15:31But you are a stain on this room.
15:35The very sight of you makes me sick.
15:38Isolda gave a flick of her eyes.
15:40Her guards lunged forward, digging their fingers into my arms to drag me out.
15:45I just twitched my finger.
15:48A split second later, Isolda grabbed her belly and let out a blood-curdling scream.
15:53The healers rushed in with a diagnostic scan.
15:59Forgive us, your grace.
16:01The child's strength is failing.
16:03The pregnancy cannot be saved.
16:06Panic swallowed Isolda whole.
16:09She had waited five years for a child, only to lose it seconds after finding out.
16:15Pale as a corpse, she locked eyes with me.
16:19She hissed through her teeth.
16:21You.
16:23Fix it.
16:26If I lose this child, I will burn everything you love to Ash.
16:31Every person.
16:33Every place.
16:34Every single memory.
16:36I looked down at her vicious, desperate face.
16:39Burn everything I loved to Ash?
16:41She had no idea.
16:42My people were already wiped out.
16:44I was the only one left.
16:46I crawled out of the deep-sea hell for one reason only.
16:51To collect what she owed.
16:53I stepped forward and pulled out a silver ritual blade.
16:57I sliced shallow cuts into Isolda's wrists and her belly.
17:00Then, I let my own blood drip right into the open wounds.
17:04As the cuts healed, one by one, color slowly returned to Isolda's face.
17:09The healers rushed back for a scan.
17:11The gold light was steady again.
17:13The truth was, I knew nothing of healing magic.
17:16And there was no child in Isolda's womb.
17:19The night she tried to burn me alive in Moonveil Tower, I quietly planted a phantom womb hex inside her.
17:26The shadow perfectly mimicked every sign of being with child.
17:31The morning nausea, the swelling womb, and later, even the illusion of a child stirring within.
17:37But day and night, it would be eating the mother from the inside out, draining her life force to feed
17:44itself.
17:45The shadow obeyed my will.
17:47If I wished it, she'd be dead in an instant.
17:50But taking Isolda's life wasn't going to satisfy me.
17:54The men who butchered my entire people were Isolda's father and brother.
17:59I still remember her brother, Sir Victor Ashford.
18:03His thick, greasy hands tearing the scales from Nerissa's tail fin.
18:08Nerissa had been drenched in cold sweat from the agony.
18:11But she clenched her jaw and never made a sound.
18:15She died in unimaginable pain.
18:18I looked at Isolda's relieved, joyful face.
18:22A dark smile crept onto my lips.
18:24Are you watching, Nerissa?
18:26For every ounce of pain they put you through, I'll make them pay a thousandfold.
18:32When I slipped back into the king's chamber, Aldrich was still fast asleep.
18:36I dropped my robe and slid into bed beside him.
18:39I couldn't wait to see the look on his face when he woke up and heard the news.
18:43His wife was pregnant.
18:45After all, he was the one paying the crown alchemist to slip a baroness draft into her daily tea.
18:51She was never going to have a child.
18:53House Ashford already held half the seats in the Council of Lords.
18:57They commanded the entire Southern March army.
19:00If Isolde actually bore an heir, her family would use the child to turn Aldrich into a puppet king.
19:06Sure, Aldrich might have loved her once.
19:08But love is a cheap joke next to a crown.
19:13Aldrich woke up and stared at me.
19:15The days of the dream spinner still lingered in his eyes.
19:18It looked like he enjoyed the fantasy I spun for him.
19:23Your Majesty, word has just arrived from the Queen's attendance.
19:27Her grace is with child.
19:29Did the news get out?
19:31Sire has already sent a rider to Lord General Ashfield.
19:35The air in the room snapped tight.
19:38I knew when to take my leave.
19:40You had a shock last night.
19:42Stay here and rest.
19:44I'll find you a better place to stay.
19:47Queen Isolde was pregnant.
19:49House Ashford was smelling blood in the water.
19:52Aldrich was fighting a war on two fronts.
19:54He had to crush the plotting in the Council of Lords and he had to find a way to kill
20:00the thing growing inside his wife.
20:03Right now, no one was looking twice at a nameless crown's grace.
20:06It was the perfect blind spot for my revenge.
20:11Kasvar, Crown Prince of Norheim from the Midsummer Court, would be my blade.
20:16I didn't just want a few dead royals.
20:18They butchered my people.
20:20I was going to burn their kingdom to the ground.
20:24I rolled up a coded note and shoved it into Nyx's mouth.
20:28The little snake tracked Kasvar down, following the invisible scent of our soul tether.
20:34I settled into Dawnlight Hall and waited.
20:38A few days later, someone pounded on my door.
20:43My lady!
20:44The Queen is in agony.
20:46Please, you have to come.
20:48Aldrich had made his move.
20:50He must have ordered the Crown Alchemist to strengthen the dose.
20:54Too bad there was no child to lose.
20:56The deadly potion was just eating Isolde alive for nothing.
21:00No one had leaked a word about me saving her pregnancy the other night.
21:04Aldrich was completely in the dark.
21:06I stood over Isolde's bed, watching her face twist in pure, miserable agony.
21:11Slowly, I drew my silver ritual blade.
21:14The shadow from the phantom womb Hex remained untouched, thriving, and multiplying inside Isolde.
21:20My child!
21:22Can you save it?
21:23I can, but it's going to hurt.
21:26Soraya, if you dare deceive me, my father and brother will not let you walk away alive!
21:32I took out my silver ritual blade and cut fresh slashes into her wrists and belly.
21:37Then, I let my own blood drip in.
21:40One cut, then another, until there were ten.
21:43She just lay there, shooting pure venom at me through bloodshot eyes.
21:48I actually wondered how exactly her father and brother were planning to deal with me.
21:53I had handed Kasvar a few of my shadow familiars.
21:56I told him to slip them right into the Ashford's food.
21:59The father and son commanded the entire Southern March army.
22:02Without them, the moment a general falls, the army breaks.
22:06House Ashford's massive military threat would vanish overnight.
22:10Once the tenth cut sealed, I drew back.
22:13Isolde was completely drained.
22:15I waved a hand toward the heavy chamber doors.
22:18Send for the healers.
22:19Let them check.
22:20But the healers didn't arrive alone.
22:22Aldric entered right behind them.
22:26I didn't know you had this particular talent.
22:29Just an old remedy from the deep waters.
22:32Older than your kingdom.
22:35I had just ruined his perfect assassination plot.
22:38He wasn't going to let this go.
22:41The queen's child is safe, sire.
22:48Miss Alade, you've suffered.
22:52For you and our child, it was no suffering at all.
22:55I stood in the corner, biting the inside of my cheek to keep from laughing out loud.
23:00Did the king look remotely happy to her?
23:02He looked like he couldn't even stomach the sight of her.
23:07We owe Lady Soraya our thanks.
23:15Do you know what you've done?
23:17I understand my error.
23:19I acted recklessly.
23:20I am no trained healer.
23:22If anything had happened to the queen, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
23:27Reckless is an understatement.
23:29You are confined to your quarters for three months.
23:31You do not set one foot outside Dawn White Hall.
23:34Aldric, please!
23:36I begged her to do it.
23:37Don't punish her!
23:38She wasn't trying to help me.
23:40She was just terrified.
23:41Your Grace, I overstepped.
23:44I accept my punishment.
23:46This is our first child, Isolid.
23:48We cannot be too careful.
23:50Do not plead for her.
23:52Isolde opened her mouth, then swallowed her words.
23:54Deep down, she was thrilled I was getting locked away.
23:57I was escorted back to Dawn Light Hall.
24:00That very night, Aldric showed up at my door.
24:02He sat by candlelight, his thumb tracing soft circles over my hand.
24:07The flame danced in his pupils.
24:09There was something buried in his eyes I couldn't quite read.
24:12I hadn't fed him a shadow familiar tonight.
24:14Saraya, give me a child.
24:17I almost laughed in his face.
24:20We had shared a bed before.
24:22A shadow could mimic touch for a while, but not forever.
24:27Keep it up long enough, and he would notice.
24:30Besides, sirens are creatures built for addiction.
24:34Aldric couldn't get enough.
24:36He spent night after night in my chambers.
24:39Isolde really thought Aldric put me under house arrest because he was sick of me.
24:44She figured she could deal with me the second she popped out her air.
24:47Instead of watching me rot in exile, she was met with very different news.
24:53I was pregnant too.
24:54When Aldric heard Isolde was pregnant, he panicked.
24:58But when he heard the news about me, the joy on his face was real.
25:03He had sat on the throne for years without a single air.
25:07Since Isolde couldn't bear one, she quietly paid off the alchemists
25:11to spike the tea of every other mistress in the castle.
25:16I stared into his eyes.
25:18They were soft with tenderness.
25:19Did he actually love me?
25:21A siren's body is built for survival.
25:24Bearing young is practically effortless compared to humans.
25:27If I wanted a child, it was easy.
25:30The tragedy was, this child was never meant to be born.
25:34Every drop of blood in my body fed my shadow familiars.
25:39Siren magic is born of the living sea.
25:41Blood sorcery feeds on death.
25:44Those two forces ripped at each other inside my veins,
25:47leaving too little life in me to carry a child.
25:50I swear I felt it move.
25:52You're imagining things.
25:53It's barely two months.
25:54How could it move?
25:55I felt it.
25:56I'm sure of it.
25:58I'm probably just hungry.
26:00We both burst into laughter, tangled up together in bed.
26:05That was the exact scene Isolde walked in on.
26:08Isolde was finally showing, but the rest of her body was wasting away.
26:13Hollow cheeks, dark, bruised circles under her eyes.
26:17Her skin looked as thin as stretched parchment.
26:20Not even three layers of heavy powder could hide the decay.
26:25The shadow from the phantom womb hex was relentlessly feeding on her vitality.
26:31The second I saw Isolde, I went to pull away.
26:35But Aldric just wrapped his arms around me tighter.
26:39Why are you here?
26:52Aldric hadn't stepped foot inside Golden Rose Hall in weeks.
26:56He made every excuse in the book.
26:58He just refused to see her.
27:01Desperate, she had written to her father and brother.
27:04Still no reply.
27:05Today, upon hearing that Dawnlight Hall was expecting a child, she could endure it no longer.
27:15How have you been feeling, Your Grace?
27:18Isolde didn't even look at me.
27:20Her eyes were fixed on Aldric.
27:22Have you grown tired of me, Aldric?
27:25They shared a bond forged since childhood.
27:28For a fleeting moment, Aldric's grip on me loosened.
27:33Honestly, if Isolde's pregnancy wasn't stressing him out of his mind, I probably wouldn't have kept him in my bed
27:40this easily.
27:41Don't overthink it. I'll come see you later tonight.
27:45Your Majesty, urgent dispatch from the Southern March.
27:48The Council of Lords is already waiting in the Council Chamber.
27:57Was there anything else, my queen?
27:59I wish to rest.
28:01I underestimated you.
28:02But in this palace, carrying the king's heir means absolute nothing if you don't survive the birth.
28:07I could say the same, though I suspect you already know.
28:11You conizing little wretch!
28:12Don't push your luck!
28:13I still have my bloodline!
28:15I have my father and my brother!
28:17You're just a dancer!
28:18You are nothing beside me!
28:20Is that so?
28:21If I had to guess, that urgent dispatch was all about the Ashford men.
28:26I had learned of it days ago.
28:27My splinter familiar was shadowing Kasvar.
28:30The tiny shadow carried the news straight into my mind through our soul tether.
28:35It reached me a full month before the king's fastest riders could.
28:40House Ashford had always hungered for war.
28:42They had long been eager to march on Norheim, but the royal vault was bleeding dry, and Aldric had zero
28:50interest in starting a war.
28:51So the eldest son, Sir Victor, crossed the border and provoked them again and again.
28:58I had thought he could fight, but it only took a few clashes for Kasvar to knock him off his
29:04horse and shatter his leg.
29:07Hasvar didn't want a full-blown war, so he let the fool live.
29:12But the very next day, Lord General Ashford marched his army south.
29:18He swore to wash away the insult and avenge the humiliation of his son.
29:24The southern march was miles away.
29:26Even the fastest horse took a month to reach the capital.
29:31Halterick had no idea the old general had already been crushed and captured.
29:39My lady, his majesty is in the middle of a council.
29:41Let her in.
29:43I've had these headaches for days now.
29:46But when you're near me, they ease.
29:48I don't know why.
29:49Y'all know why.
29:51Bye.
29:51Bye.
29:51Bye.
29:52Bye.
