00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.480
<v Speaker 3>her mother, Sophia, had prepared a woven blanket for them

70
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.800
<v Speaker 3>The conversation revolved around the family business, which her father

71
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:47.759
<v Speaker 3>had taken over, where everyone expected Iloni to continue as well.

83
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:38.079
<v Speaker 3>without hurting her loved ones.
