00:01:03 Those Encounters of Theirs
00:03:38 that lived.
00:05:51 isn't just a curse. Why don't you want
00:08:19 the flight of the god, the gross impiety of his imprisonment
00:10:15 and their voice loves to violate those silences.
00:13:29 This doesn't happen with humans.
00:15:44 cradle and tomb, and mother of Kore. Everything I am I owe to them.
00:18:18 they thought they were killing us.
00:20:06 She too knew what would happen.
00:22:33 air, water, and earth.

00:59:18 It's not easy to live as though what happened in other times were true. Yesterday when
01:02:20 Those encounters of theirs.
