[00:00.64]Hey, it's Hannah. Hannah Baker.
[00:07.03]Don't adjust your...whatever device you're hearing this on.
[00:12.02]It's me, live and in stereo.
[00:17.58]No return engagements, no encore,
[00:20.68]and this time, absolutely no requests.
[00:23.07]Get a snack. Settle in.
[00:26.51]Because I'm about to tell you the story of my life.
[00:29.72]More specifically, why my life ended.
[00:32.98]I'm sorry.
[00:35.68]I can never make it right,
[00:38.50]I can never say all this to you,
[00:40.33]but I love you, and I will never hurt you.
[00:45.28]I'm not going, not now, not ever
[00:51.75]And if you're listening to this tape
[00:53.82]you're one of the reasons why.
[00:57.52]I'm not saying which tape brings you into the story.
[00:59.73]But fear not, if you received this lovely little box,
[01:03.79]your name will pop up. I promise.
[01:09.89]You're one of the reasons why
[01:25.70]You're one of the reasons why
[01:29.22]I'm not going, not now, not ever
[01:49.03]You see all these "don't kill yourself" posters up on the wall?
[01:52.30]They weren’t up before.
[01:53.72]They put them up because she killed herself.
[01:55.75]And why did she do it?
[01:56.80]Because the kids here treated her like sh!
[01:58.87]Jenson, that's enough
[02:00.08]But no one wants to admit it,
[02:00.98]so they paint over the bathrooms and put up a memorial,
[02:03.16]because that’s the kind of school that this is.
[02:05.17]Everyone is just so nice until they drive you to kill yourself.
[02:08.00]And sooner or later, the truth will come out.
[02:10.28]Why you're taking care of Hannah like you are?
[02:13.61]It's gonna come out
[02:15.68]Of course not.
[02:17.66]You needed to know.
[02:23.38]You're my friend.
[02:25.10]The rules here are pretty simple.
[02:27.32]There are only two.
[02:29.55]Rule number one: you listen.
[02:32.27]Number two: you pass it on.
[02:35.35]Hopefully, neither one will be easy.
[02:37.72]It's not supposed to be easy,
[02:40.34]or I would have emailed you an MP3.
[02:42.71]When you're done listening to all 13 sides,
[02:45.28]because there are 13 sides to every story
[02:49.09]Rewind the tapes, put them back in the box,
[02:50.51]and pass them on to the next person.
[02:59.54]Do you remember the winter dance, the one you deejayed?
[03:03.44]Sure.
[03:05.01]You remember that song you played, that one slow song?
[03:09.91]That one slow song?
[03:11.53]Uh, I'm gonna need some more, Clay.
[03:16.24]It was the most amazing song.
[03:21.24]I can never say all this to you,
[03:22.71]but I love you, and I will never hurt you.
[03:27.97]I'm not going, not now, not ever.
[03:34.59]You're one of the reasons why.
[03:39.71]You remember that song you played, that one slow song?
[03:44.21]That one slow song?
[03:46.49]Hey, it's Hannah. Hannah Baker.
[03:52.47]You're one of the reasons why.
[03:54.68]I can never say all this to you,
[03:56.10]but I love you, and I will never hurt you.
[04:01.34]I'm not going, not now, not ever.
