00:00Yes, Julian is here because I invited him.
00:03You chose him after everything we shared?
00:06I choose anyone who respects my answer.
00:09I used your kindness as a shield.
00:11You chose the shield.
00:14I only held it.
00:16One dinner. No promises beyond tonight.
00:22Dr. Hale, is Rocco funding your romance?
00:24My laboratory owns every funding record.
00:27Release the full video or retract it.
00:31Claire trades intimacy for laboratories.
00:33My name owns the lab, not Julian.
00:37Then explain why he holds your hand.
00:39Do you want the answer public?
00:46Tonight, I choose him beside me.
00:49And I choose the boundary she sets.
00:53Claire, tell them this is only acting.
00:57My choices stopped being your performance.
01:00Is any part of us still alive?
