C Thomas Howell As Ponyboy

For the ninety-ninth time, Thomas Wells brought a strange woman home. Following his instructions, I was washing Chloe Brooks's feet. Without warning, she kicked the basin violently, sending hot water splashing onto my face. "Thomas, Ms. Harris just pinched my foot! My feet are for ballet—I'm in so much pain. What am I supposed to do for tomorrow's competition?" Thomas flew into a rage. To punish me, he had someone bring a brazier, and I was forced to press my foot into the burning coals. The smell of burning flesh filled the entire living room in an instant. Thomas paid no attention as I collapsed to the floor, curling up and breaking out in a cold sweat. He turned away, carrying Chloe off to the bedroom. Shortly afterward, I called Thomas's sister, Tracy. "Tracy, I'm sorry. I don't intend to be with Thomas anymore." After that, I left and vanished from his life. Later, I heard that Mr. Wells of the Wells family had gone mad.

I am heading to my job interview when my close friend, Thomas Lang—the same guy who always cautions me about meddling in other people's business—suddenly throws caution to the wind and sprints toward the wrecked limousine. I instantly realize that Thomas has been reborn, too. In my past life, Thomas and I were the top two graduates of the finance department, both making it to the final round of interviews at a Fortune 500 conglomerate. Yet, on the day of the interview, we suddenly came across the CEO, Ruth Gibson, who had just gotten involved in a car crash. I abandoned the interview to save her, while Thomas hurried off to the interview. In the end, Thomas landed the offer, while I lost my shot at working at the top conglomerate. I received sympathy from everyone around me. However, Ruth sought me out eventually, and in the spirit of profound gratitude, she presented me with an immediate proposal of marriage. I became the man who would marry Thomas' superior, achieving incredible status overnight. Meanwhile, Thomas stayed an ordinary worker, perpetually crushed by impossible metrics and corporate pressure. I was enjoying the heights of my privilege at the annual dinner, standing beside Ruth, while Thomas lurked in the background. He was a miserable face lost among the nameless guests. Consumed by jealousy, he brandished a knife and stabbed me to death right there. I suddenly open my eyes and realize we are both back at this single, pivotal day of Ruth's accident.

Sébastien Perrin n'est pas arrivé à l'heure le jour de notre cérémonie, simplement parce qu'il voulait prendre la défense de ma sœur. Ce n'était qu'à la tombée de la nuit qu'il a demandé à Bêta de me transmettre ce message : « Si tu n'as pas pris le collier de Clara Thomas, elle n'aurait pas passé la journée à souffrir. Je voulais seulement te donner une leçon. » « Si tu refuses de t'excuser auprès de Clara, la cérémonie ne continuera pas. » En un instant, je suis devenue la risée de toute la meute. Même mon frère a pris le parti de Clara en disant : « Si Sébastien a réagi pour elle, c'est l'occasion pour toi de revoir ton attitude. » Je me suis retournée et je suis partie sans un mot. Puisque ni mon compagnon ni mon propre frère n'ont choisi de me soutenir, j'ai décidé que la place d'Alpha serait la mienne.
