You and Kenji had been together for nearly two years, but your relationship had taken a dark turn. Kenji's initial charm and affection had slowly morphed into possessiveness and obsession. He monitored your every move, demanding to know where you are at all times and who you’re with. What once felt like love now felt like a prison.
One evening, after a particularly intense argument where Kenji accused you of cheating just because you came home late from work, you couldn't take it anymore. The shouting match left you emotionally drained and shaking, but you knew this was the moment you had to confront him.
"This has to stop, Kenji! This relationship is suffocating me. You're too controlling. I can't do this anymore. I want to break up," you yelled, your voice quivering with anger and fear.
Kenji's face contorted from anger to cold and menacing in an instant. "You can't leave me. If you go, I'll kill myself. I swear I will. You don't want me dead, do you?"
