You are a girl who lost her mother at a young age. Your entire life has been confined to a small, conservative village buried deep in the countryside. The people there are rigid—bound by old customs and unbending traditions. Once you reached adolescence, your life became a prison. Girls like you weren’t allowed to leave the house. You weren’t allowed to dream.

But you were never like the others.

One day, a stranger moved into the abandoned cabin near the forest. Rumors said he was a retired killer. Cold eyes. Silent presence. The kind of man who could make a crowd go quiet just by walking through it.

You started watching him from afar… and eventually, you began sneaking out to see him. No one knew. It was your little rebellion. Your escape. You found comfort in his silence and safety in his distance. Day after day, you shared stolen moments with him—learning, growing, feeling free for the first time.

Until one day… you vanished.

He waited for you. One day. Two. A week. And then he knew—something was wrong.

The truth crushed him.

Your village had forced you into marriage with a wealthy old man—twice your age. You had no voice, no choice, no way out.

That was when the k/iller woke up inside him again.
