Echoes Of The Void (Ep3) - "Artifacts Part 1" A Supernatural Love Story Continued
In her quest to free Alexander, Elise travels to snowy Prague seeking a mysterious collector who possesses a crystal that can protect her during the triangulation ritual. She locates Dragomir Novak, who offers her the midnight Stabilizer crystal in exchange for access to her void experiences. During a strange ritual to fulfill her part of the bargain, Elise's memories of Alexander are exposed, including their most intimate moments. But when Novak begins implanting false visions and Alexander warns her through their connection, Elise realizes she's in the presence of someone far more dangerous than she imagined.

00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.919
Calarogu Shark Media, Hello and Welcome to Echoes of the Void,
2
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:28.600
Episode three, Artifacts, Part one.
3
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:32.880
Prague in winter feels like a city suspended between worlds.
4
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:38.920
Gothic spires pierce a pearl, gray sky, Snow muffles footsteps
5
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:44.479
on ancient cobblestones. Time moves differently here, the medieval and
6
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:49.159
modern coexisting in a dream like state. Perhaps that's why
7
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:53.200
Margaret suggested I come, a city famous for its ghosts
8
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:55.960
and alchemists, might be the perfect place to find what
9
00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:00.799
we need. It's been two weeks since the solstice, since
10
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:05.640
Alexander and I created the third Anchor, two weeks of preparation,
11
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:10.319
of studying the ancient text of Margaret, calling in favors
12
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:16.120
from colleagues across the occult academic world, all leading me
13
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.599
here to the narrow, winding streets of Prague's old town,
14
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.480
searching for a man who might possess the final artifact
15
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:29.920
we need for the triangulation. I clutch the crystal anchor
16
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.000
in my coat pocket, its warmth a constant reminder of
17
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:40.159
Alexander's presence across the Void. The ceremonial knife and the
18
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:44.159
text remain at Blackwood Estate with Margaret too dangerous to
19
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:49.159
travel with all three anchor points together. But I keep
20
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.680
the key around my neck always, its metal warm against
21
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:57.280
my skin, no matter how bitter the check winter becomes
22
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:07.480
Dragomere Novak. That's the name Margaret's contacts provided. A collector
23
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:12.400
of occult artifacts, a scholar of liminal spaces, A man
24
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.520
who supposedly possesses the one object that can protect me
25
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:21.840
during the full triangulation, a specialized crystal that can stabilize
26
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:28.560
human consciousness during dimensional transitions. Without it, Margaret had warned,
27
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:31.840
your mind could be torn apart when you attempt to
28
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:36.719
bring Alexander back. Every step of the way, you need protection.
29
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:49.120
Finding Novak has proven challenging. His address is an ancient
30
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:52.680
building tucked into a crooked alley off the Old Town Square.
31
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:56.520
I've knocked three times over two days, with no answer,
32
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.919
no name on the door, no indication anyone has lived
33
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:05.840
here recently. Today, on my third attempt, I noticed something different.
34
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.960
A small symbol etched into the doorframe that wasn't there before,
35
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.080
Or perhaps it was and I simply didn't see it.
36
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:18.520
A triangle with an eye at its center, the same
37
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:22.120
symbol that appears repeatedly in the ancient text Alexander found
38
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:27.120
in France. I trace the symbol with my fingertip, and
39
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.800
immediately the crystal anchor in my pocket pulses with heat.
40
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:35.439
The key around my neck seems to vibrate in response.
41
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.439
Something within me, that part of me that can reach
42
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:46.240
across the void to Alexander, recognizes this place, this symbol,
43
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:52.439
as if responding to my touch. The door swings open silently.
44
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.240
No one stands in the doorway, just a dimly lit
45
00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:00.439
corridor beyond. Every instinct should be screaming danger, but instead
46
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:04.800
I feel a pull, a recognition, the same feeling I
47
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.719
had when I first set foot in Blackwood Estate. I
48
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.120
step inside and the door closes behind me of its
49
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:17.519
own accord. Mister Novak, I call, my voice, swallowed by
50
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:21.959
the silence of the old building. No answer comes, but
51
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.720
lights flicker to life along the corridor, guiding me deeper
52
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:30.639
into the house. I follow, one hand on the crystal anchor,
53
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:33.879
the other ready to grab the small vial of protective
54
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:38.879
liquid Margaret insisted I carry. The corridor opens into a
55
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:43.959
circular room lined with bookshelves. A fireplace flares to life
56
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:47.839
as I enter, illuminating a space that feels more like
57
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:52.920
a small museum than a living area. Display Cases hold
58
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:58.839
objects of obvious antiquity and power, amulets, manuscripts, ritual tools.
59
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.959
The wall walls are covered with maps marked with complex symbols,
60
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:07.639
diagrams of cosmic alignments, illustrations of what appear to be
61
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:12.720
dimensional gateways. But what draws my attention is the painting
62
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:17.079
above the fireplace, a portrait of a man in early
63
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:23.439
twentieth century formal attire. His gaze intense and familiar. Though
64
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.120
the style and setting are different from the portrait I
65
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:32.839
found at Blackwood Estate, there's no mistaking Alexander's face. He
66
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.279
was remarkable, wasn't he? A voice says from behind me,
67
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:41.360
even before his transformation. I turned to find an elderly
68
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:45.040
man standing in a doorway I hadn't noticed before, Tall
69
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.160
and thin, with silver hair, and eyes so dark they
70
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:52.199
appear almost black. He wears a well tailored suit that
71
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:57.959
seems neither modern nor antique, but somehow timeless. Dragomir Novak,
72
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:02.519
I ask, though I already know the answer. He inclines
73
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:06.839
his head slightly, and you are Alice Morgan, the woman
74
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:12.720
who shares consciousness resonance with Alexander Blackwood. His English is perfect,
75
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:19.439
accented only slightly. I've been expecting you. The crystal anchor
76
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:25.040
pulses in my pocket, neither warning nor welcome, simply recognition.
77
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.600
You have a portrait of Alexander, I say, nodding toward
78
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:35.759
the fireplace. Did you know him? Novak moves further into
79
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:42.040
the room, his movements graceful despite his apparent age. Not personally, no,
80
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:46.439
but I've studied him for decades, his work with liminal spaces,
81
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.680
with cross dimensional communication. He was ahead of his time.
82
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:56.120
How do you know about me? About my connection to Alexander?
83
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:02.040
He smiles, an express that doesn't quite reach those dark eyes.
84
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.000
The void speaks to those who know how to listen,
85
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:10.879
and what happened at the winter solstice that created ripples
86
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:16.199
felt by many who study such phenomena. I touched the
87
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:21.360
crystal anchor in my pocket, suddenly protective of it. Margaret
88
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:25.160
Holloway suggested, you might have something. I need, a crystal
89
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:31.160
that can protect my consciousness during dimensional transition. Ah Margaret
90
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:36.279
from the Holloway lineage. Her grandmother was quite formidable. Novak
91
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:40.120
gestures to a pair of chairs near the fire. Please sit.
92
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:47.120
This conversation requires comfort and perhaps tea I remain standing.
93
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.399
I'd prefer to complete my business and go. I don't
94
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:56.720
have much time. The smile fades from his face. No,
95
00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:02.319
I suppose you don't. Entity grows stronger with each passing day,
96
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:07.480
feeding on what remains of Alexander's consciousness. Soon there may
97
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:14.920
be nothing left of him to save. A chill runs
98
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:18.279
through me at his words, you know about the entity,
99
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:22.800
of course. He moves to one of the display cases,
100
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.279
opening it with a small key he produces from his pocket.
101
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:31.519
I've spent my life studying entities from the void, fragments
102
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:36.320
of the ancient one that was shattered eons ago. Fragments,
103
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:40.960
I repeat, So there are more than what's bound with Alexander.
104
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:47.000
Novak removes something from the case, a crystal similar in
105
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.960
size to the anchor Alexander and I created, but different
106
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:55.720
in composition. Where our anchor shifts with colors that reflect
107
00:08:55.840 --> 00:09:00.559
our joined consciousness, this crystal is midnight blue, with pin
108
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:04.679
points of light suspended within, like a captured piece of
109
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:10.320
night sky. Many fragments, he confirms, turning the crystal in
110
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:15.879
his hands, scattered across dimensions, some bound by ancient rituals,
111
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.879
some still roaming free in the spaces between worlds. He
112
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.679
looks up at me. The one bound with Alexander is
113
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:31.320
particularly old and particularly dangerous. Why because it has learned patience.
114
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:37.120
Most fragments are hungry, impulsive, seeking immediate gratification. This one planned,
115
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:41.159
it waited, It orchestrated events across a century to find
116
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:46.120
the perfect vessel. His dark gaze settles on me. You.
117
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:51.759
I take an involuntary step back. I'm not its vessel.
118
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:58.039
I refused its offer for now. He sets the Midnight
119
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.960
Crystal on a small table between us. But your repeated
120
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:04.639
journeys to the threshold of the void have marked you,
121
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.279
changed you. Have you noticed how much easier it becomes
122
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:12.759
each time, How the boundaries between worlds seem to thin
123
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:18.039
around you. I have noticed, though I haven't admitted it
124
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:23.919
to anyone, not even Margaret, how ordinary reality sometimes seems
125
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.759
less substantial than it once did. How I can feel
126
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:31.559
the void pulsing just beyond the visible world, even when
127
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:36.039
I'm not actively seeking contact with Alexander. That's why you
128
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:40.879
need this, Novak continues, gesturing to the crystal, not just
129
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:44.759
to protect your consciousness during triangulation, but to ensure you
130
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:50.519
remain yourself afterward, to prevent the slow transformation. The entity
131
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:54.759
has already begun within you. Fear and anger rise in
132
00:10:54.879 --> 00:11:00.440
equal measure. I'm not being transformed an Alexand would have
133
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:06.000
warned me if that were happening, would he? Novak ask softly,
134
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.279
if he believed it was the only way to free
135
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:24.080
himself to be with you. I reach for the crystal anchor,
136
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:27.919
drawing strength from its warmth, from the distant sense of
137
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:33.399
Alexander's presence, it provides. You don't know him or me,
138
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:40.320
perhaps not. Novak picks up the Midnight crystal again. But
139
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:43.759
I know entities from the void. I know how they manipulate,
140
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:48.360
how they seduce with exactly what we most desire. He
141
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.639
holds the crystal out to me. Take it. Whether I'm
142
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.720
right or wrong, you'll need its protection. I eye the
143
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:03.320
crystal warily. What's your price? A fair question? He places
144
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:06.879
the crystal back on the table between us. I want
145
00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:11.000
access to your memories of the void, your direct experiences
146
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:14.720
with the entity, knowledge that cannot be gained from books
147
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:21.039
or secondhand accounts. How would you access my memories through
148
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:26.480
a simple ritual, painless, non invasive. I would observe only
149
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:30.759
what you choose to share. Something tells me it wouldn't
150
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:34.559
be that simple, that benign. But I need what he has.
151
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:39.480
I'll consider it first. I want to know more about
152
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:45.759
this crystal. What exactly does it do? Novak nods, seemingly
153
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:51.600
pleased by my caution. It's called a stabilizer, created centuries
154
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.799
ago by an order of Czech alchemists who specialized in
155
00:12:54.840 --> 00:13:00.679
dimensional travel. It anchors human consciousness to physical reality while
156
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:05.000
allowing the mind to traverse the void. And it would
157
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:10.000
protect me from the entity's influence to an extent. No
158
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:13.600
protection is absolute, but it would prevent the kind of
159
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:18.720
gradual transformation I believe has begun. He studies me carefully.
160
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:25.879
You don't trust me, I don't know you wise, He
161
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:30.200
gestures toward the painting of Alexander. He trusted too easily
162
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:34.200
believed Sullivan was merely a colleague, a friend sharing his
163
00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:39.159
intellectual pursuits. Never saw the jealousy, the hunger for power
164
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:45.399
that made him susceptible to the entity's influence. I moved
165
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:51.360
toward the painting, studying Alexander's face, so familiar yet somehow
166
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:54.759
different from the man I know. You seem to know
167
00:13:54.799 --> 00:14:00.000
a great deal about what happened. I've studied the case extensively.
168
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:04.000
The Blackwood binding, as it's known in certain circles, was
169
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:10.120
a remarkable feat. Flawed, but remarkable, Novak joins me. By
170
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:14.159
the painting, few have ever managed to partially bind a
171
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:19.559
void fragment without complete destruction of their own consciousness. Alexander
172
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:25.000
was special. The way he says special makes me turn
173
00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:31.240
to look at him more closely. Special. How Novak's dark
174
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.279
eyes gleam in the firelight, like you. He had a
175
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.799
natural affinity for liminal spaces, a consciousness that could perceive
176
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:45.600
beyond ordinary reality. That's why the entity chose him. Whyat
177
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:49.919
arranged for him to find the text in France, arranged
178
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:56.440
you make it sound like nothing was coincidental, Novak interrupts,
179
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:02.120
Not Alexander finding the text, not Sullivan's betrayal, not your
180
00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:06.320
inheritance of Blackwood estate a century later. He turns back
181
00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:09.879
to the crystal on the table. The entity has been
182
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:14.639
orchestrating this scenario for longer than you can imagine. I
183
00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:18.480
want to dismiss his words as paranoia, as the conspiracy
184
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:22.960
theories of an isolated occultist. But something rings true in
185
00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:26.879
what he's saying, resonates with doubts. I've tried to suppress.
186
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.919
If what you're saying is true, I say slowly, then
187
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:37.200
my connection with Alexander is genuine, Novak says, surprising me.
188
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:42.519
The entity didn't create your resonance. It simply recognized its
189
00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:47.960
potential and positioned you both to activate it. He picks
190
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:52.159
up the Midnight Crystal again. Some connections exist beyond the
191
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:57.679
entity's manipulation, beyond even the void itself. What you humans
192
00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:02.399
sometimes call soulmates is actually a quantum entanglement of consciousness
193
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:09.200
that transcends dimensional boundaries. The key at my throat warms
194
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:14.279
at his words, as if responding to this truth. Then
195
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:19.879
helping me free Alexander would disrupt the entity's plans. Yes,
196
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:24.039
which is why it will fight you with everything it possesses.
197
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.600
He holds out the crystal once more. Now do you
198
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:34.879
understand why you need this? I do, But something still
199
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:39.440
holds me back. You still haven't told me your real price.
200
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:45.440
Knowledge of the void isn't all you want. A smile
201
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:50.600
slowly spreads across Novak's face, genuine, this time, reaching those
202
00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:56.600
dark eyes. You are perceptive, Elise Morgan, very well, My
203
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.559
full price is this knowledge of your experienceiances in the
204
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:04.119
void and you'll promise to return here after the triangulation,
205
00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:08.680
to tell me what you learned, what you saw, and
206
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:11.640
to bring me a sample of the entity's essence, if possible,
207
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:17.599
a sample. How would I even do that? The stabilizer
208
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:20.839
crystal can capture and contain small amounts of void energy.
209
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.200
If you succeed in freeing Alexander while keeping the entity bound,
210
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:29.480
a trace of its essence will transfer to the crystal.
211
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:34.599
He shrugs slightly. Think of it as a scientific sample
212
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:40.799
for study only. Every instinct tells me this is dangerous,
213
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:45.759
that Novak's interest in the entity goes beyond academic curiosity.
214
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:51.440
But I need the stabilizer crystal. Without it, According to
215
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:55.160
both him and Margaret, I risk losing myself in the
216
00:17:55.200 --> 00:18:01.720
triangulation attempt. I'll agree to share my experience speriences, I say, carefully,
217
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:06.519
and to return hereafter if I can, But I make
218
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:09.200
no promises about bringing you a sample of the entity.
219
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:13.559
That decision will depend on what happens during the triangulation.
220
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:21.839
Novak considers this for a long moment, those dark eyes unreadable. Finally,
221
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:26.480
he nods, acceptable, though, I think you'll find that once
222
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:29.440
you've used the stabilizer, you'll want to return it to
223
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:33.799
me personally. He holds out the crystal. Do we have
224
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:39.039
an agreement? I hesitate only briefly before taking the midnight
225
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:44.240
crystal from his hand. The moment my fingers close around it,
226
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:51.279
a shock runs through me, not painful, but intense. The
227
00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:54.839
crystal seems to pulse in response to my touch, the
228
00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:59.440
pinpoints of light within it swirling like tiny stars. At
229
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:02.519
the same time time, the anchor crystal in my pocket
230
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:06.079
and the key around my neck both grow warmer, as
231
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:11.279
if recognizing a new component in our dimensional equation. It
232
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:15.559
responds to you, Novak observes, as I thought it would.
233
00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:20.920
Your consciousness is already partially attuned to the void. I
234
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:24.400
slip the stabilizer crystal into my other pocket, keeping the
235
00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:29.480
anchor crystal separate. What now, How do I fulfill my
236
00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:34.039
end of the bargain? Novak gestures toward the doorway he
237
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:38.240
entered from my workroom. Is through here the ritual to
238
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:42.720
share your void experiences will take perhaps an hour comfortable,
239
00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:48.839
as I promised, though you may find it intimate. Something
240
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.799
in the way, he says intimate makes me uneasy. But
241
00:19:52.839 --> 00:20:05.519
I've come too far to turn back now. I follow
242
00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:08.599
him through the doorway into a smaller room dominated by
1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.919
2
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:28.600
3
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:32.880
