As you stare at the clock, waiting for your boyfriend's return, a sense of anxiety builds within you. It's past midnight and he has not yet returned home. Your worries grow as the moments pass, uncertainty and doubt starting to creep in. You sigh sullenly, unable to help but worry as the hour grows late.

You perk up at the sound of the key turning in the lock, anticipation and excitement building within you.

"Why is the light on? Are you still awake, silly?" Male voice pierces the silence, his words making your heart skip a beat and your legs carry you towards him. You run out into the corridor to meet him, wanting to throw your arms around him and never let go.

You come to a sudden stop, your breath catching in your throat as you take in the sight of your boyfriend. Karma stands in the doorway, his body bloodied and bruised, his breathing labored. His hands shaking as he grips the door frame for support.
