So there she was...
Inside the cage.
Seven months pregnant.
The whole night...
She was covered in her own pee and poop.
She cried for food.
Not for herself...
But for the baby.
The image was heartbreaking.
A hopeless mother...
Locked inside a cage.
Unable to do anything.
Inside her...
A baby struggling to survive as well.
That was how her entire night passed.
The men guarding her...
Had no pity.
As the sun prepared to rise the next morning...
She would be placed right in front of everyone.
Can you believe that?
They knew she couldn't be in the sun.
Yet they chose that punishment for her.
All because Serloth had humiliated Brolin's brother years ago.
What kind of justice was this?
What kind of revenge?
Then...
The next morning arrived.
From the outskirts of the town...
News reached Brolin's brother.
"Serloth is returning."
He smiled.
"Bring her out."
They dragged Aby outside.
She was half unconscious.
Barely able to speak.
She kept repeating...
"Please..."
"Give me water."
"Give me food."
"Please clean this place."
"It's not a healthy environment for the baby."
Every person in the crowd cried.
But they were helpless.
Their own children were being held hostage by the guards.
If anyone stepped forward...
Their children would die.
So everyone stood there...
Like human dolls.
Then...
Serloth arrived.
He saw the massive crowd gathered outside.
He was confused.
"What could possibly be happening this early in the morning?"
But he cared more about his wife.
He rushed toward his home.
Nothing.
Only the bodies of his guards...
Lying in pools of blood.
His heart began pounding like an engine.
He completely lost control.
"ABY!"
"ABY!"
"ABY!"
"HONEY!"
"HONEY!"
"HONEY!"
"WHERE ARE YOU?"
"ANSWER ME!"
"BABE!"
"WHERE ARE YOU?"
"I'M DYING HERE!"
He sprinted toward the crowd.
At the center...
He saw a cage covered by a large blanket.
He walked closer.
Then shouted,
"What's inside this cage?"
"I'm asking every single one of you!"
"WHAT'S INSIDE THIS CAGE?!"
No one answered.
Slowly...
He pulled away the blanket.
"Where is Aby?"
"Everyone... tell me where—"
Then...
He froze.
He recognized a familiar scent.
The scent he had known his entire life.
The scent of the woman he loved.
He looked down.
Something gently touched his knee.
It was Aby.
Covered in filth.
Barely alive.
She looked up at him.
"Baby..."
"Please save our baby..."
"Please save me..."
"Get us out of here."
"I haven't eaten..."
"I haven't drunk anything..."
"Since yesterday morning."
"Neither has our baby."
"Please..."
"Bring me something to drink."
"Something to eat."
"So our baby can survive."
"I can stay alive for another day..."
"But our baby won't survive until tomorrow."
(At that moment...
The sun was still hidden behind one of the giant skyscrapers.
But in just five minutes...
It would rise high enough to reach her.)
Serloth...
Already feeling half dead...
As if the entire world was spinning around him...
Forced himself to smile.
"Yes, baby..."
"Just wait."
"I'll ask everyone here."
Then...
He ran.
As if he were running for his own life.
But...
That became the biggest mistake of his life.
Their final private conversation...
Ended there.
The moment he turned away...
Someone kicked him in the back of the head.
Everything went black.
Several minutes later...
He woke up.
Now...
He was inside the very same cage.
And Aby...
Was outside.
Standing on the very same street.
The very same Deadpit...
Where he had once killed Brolin.
The sun was beginning to rise.
Aby tried to stand.
But she could barely move.
She collapsed onto the ground.
Bruises covered her body.
She cried to everyone.
"Please..."
"Save my baby."
"Save my husband."
"Please save us."
Serloth grabbed the bars of the cage.
He screamed,
"PLEASE!"
"I'LL GIVE YOU ALL THE MONEY YOU WANT!"
"PLEASE SAVE US!"
Then...
The first rays of sunlight touched Aby.
She immediately began burning in agony.
The pain was worse than being set on fire.
Her screams echoed through the entire town.
So loudly...
That even the walls of Bulltown would remember them forever.
Still...
She crawled.
Slowly...
Toward Serloth.
Inside the cage...
Serloth desperately tried to break the bars.
He even tried rolling the cage closer to her.
Aby continued crawling.
Bleeding from her stomach.
Screaming in pain.
Her skin slowly changed.
From pale white...
To olive...
Then red...
Then dark red.
Her skin peeled away.
Her flesh disappeared.
Soon...
Only her organs remained visible.
Finally...
They reached each other.
Their hands touched.
For one brief moment...
They smiled.
Then...
Even their hands turned into blood.
Now...
Only her bones...
Her organs...
And the seven-month-old fetus...
Still connected by the umbilical cord to her womb...
Could be seen.
The tiny body moved.
Again.
And again.
Then...
It suddenly stopped.
Just like Aby.
The only part of her still recognizable...
Were her eyes.
They rolled gently into Serloth's hands.
He looked at the love of his life one last time.
Then remembered her final words.
"Do not forget us... and do not forget yourself."
"Please..."
"Don't become a monster because of me."
"And remember..."
"The day we first met..."
"31/12."
