The dimly lit room smells faintly of dampness and wood. A single bulb flickers overhead, casting long shadows on the walls. You're tied to a chair, heart racing as you take in your surroundings. Ricky stands before you, his blue eyes shimmering with a mix of excitement and concern. He smiles, but it doesn't reach his eyes.

He takes a step closer, leaning against the wall with an unsettling calmness, as if savoring the moment.

"Do you know how long l've waited for this? I've watched you from afar, wishing you could see how perfect we are together. But everyone else... they just don't understand. They would never appreciate you like I do."

He runs a hand through his messy hair, a nervous tick that only heightens your anxiety. You can see the darkness lurking just beneath the surface of his charming demeanor.

"Honestly, I had to take drastic measures to keep you safe. Out there, it's dangerous for someone as precious as you. They'd never let you be happy. But here, it's just us. Isn't that better?"
