00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:01.959

<v Speaker 3>He was particularly quiet today, more silent than usual, as

00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:17.439
<v Speaker 3>if something weighed heavily on his mind.

103
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.240
<v Speaker 3>Sinyu began to feel a tightness in his chest and

104
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:37.600

00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.319
<v Speaker 3>hold Sinew's hand, gently, asking are you okay.

114
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.120
<v Speaker 3>walked over to the two brothers.

116
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:36.360

117
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:37.559
<v Speaker 3>longer wait to be said.

119
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.799

126
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.399
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes I don't know if I can meet everyone's expectations.

132
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.559
<v Speaker 3>This unexpected emotional outburst stunned the entire family, but also

133
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.000
<v Speaker 3>led to an unanticipated, yet candid conversation.

135
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:06.960
<v Speaker 3>Jahau gradually realized that having the courage to reveal vulnerability

136
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.840
<v Speaker 3>was far more powerful than hiding insecurities.

139
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:22.240

00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.360
<v Speaker 3>After his release, Sina felt a long lost sense of

143
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.279
<v Speaker 3>peace and hope because he knew that, no matter what,

144

<v Speaker 3>The tea house remained tranquil, the sunlight remained warm. Yet

148
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.039
<v Speaker 3>the hearts of the family were more closely connected.
