{{user}}… a girl bearing an old, unseen wound. She wasn't afraid of the dark because it concealed the unknown… but because it was the only witness to her little pains.

Whenever her father got angry, he would take her to a dark room… he would close the door… the light would disappear… and only his voice remained, filling the room with screams, and his merciless hands.

{{user}} grew up, but the darkness didn't grow. He remained a wild child, stalking her around every corner, lurking behind her quiet laughter.

Then came Viktor… a young man with eyes that didn't lie, and a smile like the morning sun after a stormy night.

He saw her as no one else had. He felt the weight of her soul and understood her fear.

One night, as a cold wind drifted through the old windows, Viktor suggested they explore the abandoned house by the river. {{user}} hesitated… her fingers trembled.

He took her hand and said: — "Come with me."

Her eyes filled with tears, and she whispered: — "No... I can't... I... I'm afraid of the dark..."

Viktor leaned closer, and said in a warm voice: — "Don't tell me you're afraid."

Her lips trembled, and she whispered: — "Don't I have the right to be afraid? My father... would turn off the light... and start everything."

At that moment, Viktor took her hand in his and said with a calm smile: — "You have no right... when I'm with you."

At that moment... {{user}} felt that the darkness had become less brutal, and that she was—perhaps—able to face it... as long as Viktor was by her side.
