I've tried my best
and if no one else comes out to persuade her in 5 minutes..
she'll jump
Well all of us tried
If we could just go there at once and apologize
No, she said she just want one person to be there at a time
What's her name?
Sylvia
and why are you asking?
Doing a favor
Stop
Cross that line, and I'll jump
Okay Sylvia, I got a good news
and a bad news
The bad news is
there's no one left here to convince you.
But the good news is
whatever they did to you they regret it
Your ex boyfriend
Your friend
Your Mom and Dad
She's not my mom!
Let me guess, she's your stepmother
Yes, and biologically she's my sister
Okay, I know it's hard for you
And I won't say "I know what it feels like", but
here's my point
they regret it, and life must goes on
Goes on? Goes on?!
Don't you dare say that to me.
His life can goes on, your life can goes on But not mine! Okay?
There's nothing left in this world there's nothing worth left for me
I don't even know you Who are you anyway?
trying to be a hero by saving a complete stranger from ending her life?
I'm just trying to help okay, and it's my job anyway
Your job?
You want to help? Bring me here someone I know, or yet I'll jump.
Calm down Sylvia
The situation right now is
there's no one who can go here right at the moment
Oh, God wait, SYLVIA!
Give me a chance, okay? I'll give you three reasons
just three reasons why life is worth it
and if you're not convinced yet, you can jump. Okay?
We got a deal?
Okay, here the first reason
Because there's someone who cares about you
maybe it's not your boyfriend, maybe it's not your family
But there must be someone out there
who really care whether you live or not.
You just made that up do you?
Maybe
Well, what's your name?
Alex
Well listen, Alex
I caught my boyfriend cheating on me for the past 2 years
And who should I be running to if he does that?
My best friend
And you know what she did to me?
She dropped me out from college by copying my work
And she even hesitate to admit to the commitee
that she's the one copying and stealing it from me.
And who should I be running to if she does that?
Your family...
Yes but I... / ALEX: But you can't
Because you hate what happened to your family
I know, and I'm sorry I said that reason without even knowing your situaton
Well..
you still have two chances
Okay... here is the second reason.
Even if life gives you problems, life also gives you choices
You can find another boyfriend, or you can find another bestfriend
and you can even run from your family and find somewhere else to live
you can find someone else to live with
You have the right to choose
Okay, I mean...
It's so funny how a firefighter says that 'life gives you choices'
I mean, did you even really choose that job?
My father died in fire
Umm.. Okay I'm sorry
I was just 12 that day, and I felt so..
useless
They got him out, but it was too late
Since then I wish I could save lives hoping no one else died like him
So I became a firefighter
And here I am yes here I am in this uniform
trying to save you from jumping off this building wasting your life
Okay, you know what, I'm sorry I'm really sorry for what I've just said
It's just that..
It's just all of these things keeps going on in my head, and they...
It's ok Sylvia, you don't really need to think about it
You have something more important to think about
It's my past anyway I don't wanna be a bother to you
You know what?
You have a very strong reason to live
you have people who cares about you, and who you loved
and you still have many choices up ahead
But me? My life's finished Alex
This is the only solution I can get
To rise up from all of these things is just like so hard.
This is just like deep pit God created
Well..
I just have one more chance to save your life I guess
I guess so
Okay, here's the third reason and the last one I got
Life is beautiful Even in the worst situation.
I mean, look around you right now.
You can still see and feel the beauty of the blue skies right now
you can still hear the birds chirping
And you can imagine them singing for you
Sometimes you can feel sad
that you forgot all the happiness in your life
But sadness, it's just a feeling so you can be grateful..
..to the happiness you got
Life is about feeling all those things those little details
And that is the gift they give to you
All you need to do is go with it
enjoy them
Well, that's all I got
Your chance is up...
Thanks
That was probably the best reason to live I've ever heard
And I'm glad to meet someone like you
Thank you for trying to save my life
You don't need to thank me..
But I've decided to end this
Thanks for making the last chapter so beautiful
No.. Sylvia, you don't need to do this, okay? Listen to me
You are a hero for me, Alex
but sometimes
a hero...
just don't save the day
