Yi-jun:Holly! What's wrong? What happened?
Holly:Taylor's dead! He...had...stomach cancer. It all makes sense now.
Yi-jun:His stomachaches, headaches, bad moods-and he threw up at the reunion!
Holly:He had no energy and was so pale and skinny. Why didn't I see it sooner?

荷莉：泰勒死了！他……得了……胃癌。现在一切全都说得通了。
怡君：他的胃痛、头痛、坏脾气……还有他在同学会上吐！
