Thanksgiving Seduction (Part 2 of 4) - "Hunger Season"
Adrian's seven-course seduction dinner delivers exactly what he promised - emotions crafted like cuisine, each dish making Nora fall deeper under his spell. From oysters laced with anticipation to chocolate infused with surrender, she experiences manufactured desire so intense it overrides her judgment. After a night that leaves her hollowed out and addicted, she returns to find James's simple breakfast and genuine concern. But the damage is done - she's craving Adrian's false emotions like a drug, and with a mysterious Thanksgiving feast approaching, she realizes she's being prepared for something darker than just seduction.

Calarogu Shark Media, Hello and welcome to Romance Weekly and
2
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:22.480
Thanksgiving Seduction. This is episode two Hunger Season.
3
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.399
I changed my outfit four times before dinner with Adrian,
4
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:49.520
four times, like I was twenty two again instead of
5
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.520
thirty one, with a successful career and the ability to
6
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.479
taste lies in soup. But every time I close my eyes,
7
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:02.439
I could still taste his butternut squash soup on my tongue. Desire, need, hunger,
8
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:06.239
and my hands shook as I applied lipstick I'd never
9
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.480
worn before. Coming home. You look nice, Mum said from
10
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:15.040
my doorway, her voice carefully neutral, but I could taste
11
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:20.079
the worry in the air around her, bitter as burnt coffee.
12
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:26.920
It's just dinner. Professional curiosity, right, She watched me spray
13
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:32.439
perfume on my wrists. James asked about you at breakfast. James,
14
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.400
I'd been avoiding him all day, unable to face the
15
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.120
hurt I knew i'd taste in his presence This morning,
16
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.959
I'd snuck out early for a run, grabbed coffee from
17
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:47.840
the gas station instead of the inn's kitchen. Cowardly but necessary,
18
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:54.640
he made cinnamon rolls. Mum continued from scratch said, he
19
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:58.040
remembered you mentioning you loved them in some article. He'd
20
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:03.120
read my articles of corse. He had sweet Ernest James,
21
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:06.840
who cooked emotions I could trust, who looked at me
22
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.120
like I was something precious instead of something to be consumed.
23
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:15.680
I should go, I said, don't wait up. The walk
24
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:19.840
to Harvest took five minutes that felt like fifty. Main
25
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:24.120
Street was quiet, most shops closed for the evening, but
26
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:28.680
Adrian's restaurant glowed like a jewel box. Through the windows.
27
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:33.599
I could see empty tables with pristine white tablecloths, candles flickering.
28
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.199
He really had closed the entire restaurant just for me.
29
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.719
Adrian opened the door before I could knock. He wore
30
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:47.439
all black tonight, black chef's jacket, black pants, making his
31
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.120
blue eyes look impossibly bright. The smile he gave me
32
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.719
made my knees weak, which should have been my first warning.
33
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:01.280
I'm not the kind of woman whose knees go weak. Norah,
34
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:06.199
you look absolutely edible. The way he said edible made
35
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.199
heat pool in my belly. Or maybe that was just
36
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:15.120
residual effect from yesterday's soup. I couldn't tell anymore. Thank
37
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:18.919
you for closing the restaurant, I said, trying to sound professional.
38
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:25.080
That wasn't necessary, of course, it was. What I'm going
39
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:31.719
to feed you tonight requires complete attention, no distractions. He
40
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.240
led me through the empty dining room to a table
41
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.479
by the kitchen, passed through. I want you to watch
42
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.960
me cook. I want you to see everything that goes
43
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:48.879
into what you're about to experience. Experience, not eat. Eating
44
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.319
is just the physical act. What we're doing tonight is
45
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:57.800
far more intimate. He poured wine, something burgundy and complex
46
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.919
that tasted like autumn nights and secrets. I shouldn't have
47
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:05.400
been able to taste emotions in wine, but Adrian's touch
48
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:11.439
contaminated everything. Apparently before we begin, he said, settling across
49
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:15.000
from me with his own glass. Tell me, what did
50
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.879
you think of James's warning about me? I nearly choked
51
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:22.399
on my wine? How did you This is a small
52
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:27.639
town Norah. Plus, James isn't subtle about his dislike. He
53
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:32.600
leaned forward, candlelight playing across his features. Did he tell
54
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:36.839
you his theory that I'm adding something unnatural to my food?
55
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:42.680
Something like that? And what do you think? I think
56
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:47.480
you're doing something I've never encountered before whether it's wrong.
57
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:52.800
I took another sip of wine. I haven't decided yet,
58
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:59.439
honest I like that. He stood, fingers brushing my shoulder
59
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:05.759
as he passed. First course from the kitchen. He produced
60
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:09.319
two perfect oysters on a bed of ice. Tell me
61
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:15.800
what you taste. The first oyster was normal, briny, sweet, clean,
62
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:22.319
but the second anticipation flooded my system, not mine his.
63
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:27.480
I could taste Adrian's anticipation for tonight, for me, for
64
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.720
what was about to happen. It was like standing at
65
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.360
the edge of a cliff, that moment before jumping. You're
66
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:37.319
looking forward to this, I said, more than you know.
67
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.759
He was already back in the kitchen, visible through the
68
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:47.720
pass through. Second course seared foi gras with cherry reduction.
69
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.199
The fat melted on my tongue, coating it with richness
70
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:57.839
and something else, power, confidence, the feeling you get when
71
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.319
you know you're the best at something and you know
72
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:04.319
you can't fail. I straightened in my chair, chin lifting.
73
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:10.040
I can taste your arrogance, I said, He laughed, delighted.
74
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:16.120
Is it arrogance? If it's justified always, then I'm guilty.
75
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:22.439
Third course, lobster with brown butter and microgreens. Try this.
76
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:28.040
The lobster was perfect, sweet and tender, but the emotion
77
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:33.079
it carried made my breath catch. Fascination, deep scholarly interest,
78
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:38.759
like a scientist studying something rare, but underneath that possession,
79
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:43.040
the kind of fascination that wants to own, to keep,
80
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:48.800
to consume. You're studying me, I said, I've been studying
81
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:52.800
you since you walked into James's restaurant yesterday. He didn't
82
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:58.199
deny the possessiveness, your extraordinary Norah, do you know how
83
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:02.120
rare it is? What we can do? James can do
84
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.319
it too. Adrian's expression flickered with something I couldn't read.
85
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:13.279
James tastes that's all. He's a receptor passive. You and
86
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:20.439
I we're more. What does that mean? Fourth course duck breast,
87
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:26.000
sliced thin with pomegranate glaze. The first bite made me moan.
88
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:30.399
I couldn't help it. It tasted like being wanted, like
89
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.079
being the only person in someone's universe, like mattering more
90
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:38.120
than air or water or food itself. That's how you
91
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:42.399
make me feel, Adrian said, quietly, watching me from the kitchen,
92
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.680
like I've been starving my whole life and didn't know
93
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:52.120
it until yesterday. Fifth course risotto with black truffle, comfort
94
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:57.759
and luxury combined. But the emotion, God, the emotion, it
95
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.959
was desire, concentrated down to its sense. Not just sexual,
96
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:06.120
though that was there, making my thighs clench under the table.
97
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:12.360
This was desire for connection, for understanding, for someone who
98
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:15.040
could finally comprehend what it was like to taste the
99
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:23.720
world's feelings. We're the same, he said, coming around the counter,
100
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.920
now standing close enough that I could feel his heat.
101
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.000
You've been alone with this gift your whole life. Haven't
102
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:37.519
you lying about it, hiding it, pretending food just speaks
103
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:43.960
to you metaphorically? Yes, my voice came out, breathy. I
104
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:47.360
can teach you to do more than taste. His fingers
105
00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:50.039
traced the back of my chair, not touching me, but
106
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:53.559
close enough that my skin prickled. I can show you
107
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:57.000
how to inject emotion, how to craft it, how to
108
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:02.440
make people feel what you want them to feel. That's wrong,
109
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:08.840
I wanted to say, manipulation, violation, but the words wouldn't
110
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.879
come because I was drowning in the emotions. He'd fed me.
111
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:19.679
Sixth course chocolate souffle with cardamom ice, cream. I knew
112
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.879
what would happen before I tasted it, knew he'd saved
113
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:25.639
the strongest for near the end. But I opened my
114
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:28.639
mouth anyway, let him feed me a spoonful like I
115
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:34.320
was helpless. Love not real love. I knew that even
116
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:37.879
as it flooded my system. This was love like a drug,
117
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:43.799
like a chemical reaction, like addiction masquerading as affection. But
118
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:47.399
my body didn't care about the distinction. Every cell lit
119
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:52.360
up with it oriented toward him, like he was gravity itself. Please,
120
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.440
I whispered, not sure if I was begging him to
121
00:09:55.480 --> 00:10:00.919
stop or continue. Last course, he said, and his voice
122
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:06.960
was rough now but not here. He held out his hand.
123
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:10.399
I stared at it, knowing this was my last chance
124
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.960
to leave, to go back to the Inn, to James's
125
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:20.279
honest food and genuine concern to safety. I took Adrian's hand.
126
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:23.480
He led me upstairs to an apartment above the restaurant.
127
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:30.440
Everything was perfect, exposed brick, industrial fixtures, a kitchen that
128
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.759
belonged in a magazine. But I barely saw any of
129
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.399
it because he was kissing me, and his mouth tasted
130
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.120
like everything he'd fed me tonight concentrated into a single
131
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:47.279
point of contact. Can you taste it? He murmured against
132
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:53.159
my lips, how much I want you. I could, but
133
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:56.080
it was wrong, like looking at a photograph of an
134
00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:00.639
emotion instead of the emotion itself. His desire exists, but
135
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:07.120
it was crafted, intentional, created for effect, rather than born
136
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:12.440
from genuine feeling. Something's not right, I managed to say,
137
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:15.440
even as my hands were pulling at his chef's jacket.
138
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.919
Sh He walked me backward toward the bedroom. The last
139
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:25.399
course will make everything clear. On his nightstand was a
140
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:30.039
single piece of chocolate on a silver plate, dark, glossy, perfect,
141
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:36.279
Eat it, he said, his hands framing my face. Trust me,
142
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:41.559
I did, God help me. I put that chocolate on
143
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:45.559
my tongue and let it melt. Surrender. That's what it
144
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:51.200
tasted like, complete and total surrender, the death of questions,
145
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:57.279
of doubt, of resistance. It tasted like letting go, like falling,
146
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:02.879
like grateful submission to something greater than myself. My knees buckled.
147
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.360
Adrian caught me, lowered me to his bed, and I
148
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:11.039
let him because the chocolate told me to. I let
149
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:13.840
him undress me because resistance had been melted out of
150
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:19.799
my system. I let him touch me. Taste me, take me,
151
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:24.559
because that's what surrender means. The sex was technically perfect.
152
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:28.840
Adrian knew exactly where to touch, how to move, what
153
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:32.120
would make me gasp, an arch and beg. But it
154
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:35.600
was like he was following a recipe. Add pressure here,
155
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:41.360
increased speed there, season with whispered endearments to taste. I
156
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.759
came because my body had no choice, because he'd fed
157
00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:49.559
me the emotion of climax, along with everything else. But afterward,
158
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.960
lying in his bed with his arm draped possessively over
159
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:58.159
my waist, I felt empty, hollowed out, like I'd been
160
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:02.080
squeezed for juice and pulp and everything useful, leaving only
161
00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:07.399
the rind. You're thinking too loud, Adrian said, against my shoulder,
162
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:11.879
What did you put in that food? Nothing but emotion,
163
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:19.080
pure concentrated emotion. Whose emotion? He was quiet for a moment.
164
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:26.919
Does it matter, Yes, mine, others emotions I've collected over
165
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:31.759
the years. He traced patterns on my bare skin. Think
166
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.480
of it as a library of feelings. I can check
167
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:43.879
out whichever ones I need. You're stealing people's emotions, borrowing, refining, improving.
168
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:50.519
His hand stilled. Are you angry? I should have been.
169
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:54.759
I knew I should have been, but the surrender chocolate
170
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:59.080
was still in my system, making everything feel distant and unimportant.
171
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:05.399
I don't know what I am anymore. You're mine, he said, simply.
172
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:10.840
That's all that matters. I dozed fitfully, dreams full of
173
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:14.799
kitchens and emotions that weren't my own. When I woke
174
00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:20.559
at dawn, Adrian was already up, dressed perfect. I have
175
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:23.759
to prep for tonight's service, he said, barely looking at me.
176
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:29.399
You can see yourself out. The dismissal stung even through
177
00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:34.679
the lingering surrender. I dressed in last night's clothes, shame
178
00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:40.559
and confusion, fighting the artificial emotions still in my system. Adrian,
179
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:44.919
what am I to you? He finally looked at me,
180
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:50.240
and his expression was almost pitying. You're an experiment, norah
181
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:53.799
a successful one. I needed to know if someone with
182
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:56.600
your gift could be influenced as easily as normal people,
183
00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:03.639
and more easily. Actually, you're so hungry for connection for
184
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:09.080
someone who understands it makes you vulnerable. He adjusted his cuffs,
185
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:14.639
casual as discussing the weather. We'll do this again soon.
186
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:18.080
Your body is already craving what I can give you,
187
00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:23.679
he wasn't wrong. Even hurt and humiliated, I wanted him
188
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:29.080
to feed me more emotions, any emotions. The emptiness where
189
00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:33.879
his manufactured feelings had been was unbearable. I left without
190
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:38.120
another word, walking through early morning Westbrook with sex hair
191
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:53.240
and the taste of false love still on my tongue.
192
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.039
The inn was just waking up when I arrived, and
193
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.279
the smell of fresh bread led me to the kitchen.
194
00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:04.720
James was there alone, kneading dough with controlled violence. He
195
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:09.799
looked up when I entered, and his face went carefully blank. Coffee,
196
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:14.720
he offered, please. He poured me a cup, and I
197
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:18.679
could taste everything in it. His hurt deep and genuine,
198
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:23.679
his anger not at me, but at Adrian, his disappointment,
199
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:28.679
weary and unsurprised, and underneath it all concerned for me
200
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:32.360
that he was trying to suppress. I'm sorry, I said,
201
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.799
for what You're an adult. You can sleep with whoever
202
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:43.960
you want. James, he fed you emotion, didn't he James
203
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:47.399
wouldn't look at me. Made you feel things that weren't real.
204
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:53.000
How did you know? Because three months ago I ate
205
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:57.399
at Harvest one meal, and I was obsessed with him
206
00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:00.600
for a week, thought I was in love and I'm
207
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:05.039
not even attracted to men. His hands stilled on the dough.
208
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:10.640
It wore off eventually, but the violation knowing someone made
209
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:14.319
me feel something that wasn't mine. I've been trying to
210
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:19.160
warn people, but no one listens. I'm listening now, are
211
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:23.279
you or are you already planning when you can go back?
212
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:28.599
I didn't answer, because we both knew the truth. I
213
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:33.279
was already craving another fix. James finally looked at me,
214
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:39.039
and the sadness in his eyes was devastating. He's preparing
215
00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:43.240
you for something, Norah. I don't know what, but the
216
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:46.759
way he's feeding you specific emotions in a specific order,
217
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:54.440
it's like he's marinating you. That's ridiculous, is it? Think
218
00:17:54.480 --> 00:18:03.160
about what you ate last night? Anticipation, confidence, fascination, want, desire, love, surrender.
219
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:08.079
He's building something in you, layer by layer, building what.
220
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:13.000
I don't know. But Thanksgiving is in two weeks and
221
00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:16.559
everyone who's been eating regularly at Harvest has been invited
222
00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:20.319
to a special dinner that night, a gratitude feast. He's
223
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:27.400
calling it. My blood chilled. How many people, forty maybe fifty,
224
00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:30.960
All people who eat there obsessively now, all people whose
225
00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:35.920
emotional signatures have been altered by his food. James's jaw tightened,
226
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.559
and now you I won't go I won't eat there again.
227
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:45.480
But even as I said it, I knew I was lying.
228
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:50.279
The craving was already building, the emptiness demanding to be filled.
229
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:54.240
Adrian had made me an addict in one night, and
230
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:58.720
we both knew it. I'll help you, James said, quietly,
231
00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:04.960
you want, I'll cook for you, real food, with real emotions,
232
00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:09.480
try to counteract whatever he's done. Why would you do
233
00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:14.720
that after I because I know what it's like to
234
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:19.799
have your feelings hijacked, and because he turned back to
235
00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:23.960
his dough kneeding steadier now because I care about you,
236
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:29.559
the real you, not the version he's creating. I wanted
237
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:32.039
to cry at his kindness, but I couldn't tell if
238
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:35.319
the urge was mine or left over from Adrian's emotional
239
00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:42.079
cocktail Breakfast James offered nothing fancy, just eggs and toast,
240
00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:48.440
real food, yes please. He cooked in silence while I
241
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:52.000
sat at the counter, shaking like an addict in withdrawal.
242
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:55.319
When he set the plate in front of me, I
1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:17.199
2
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:22.480
3
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.399
4
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:49.520
5
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.520
6
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.479
7
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:02.439
8
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:06.239
9
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.480
10
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:15.040
11
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:20.079
12
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:26.920
13
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:32.439
14
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.400
15
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.120
16
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.959
17
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:47.840
18
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:54.640
19
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:58.040
20
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:03.120
21
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:06.840
22
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.120

00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:15.680
