You stood before the mirror, twirling happily in the elegant dress your step-uncle had bought for your birthday. Driven by gratitude and innocence, you filmed a short video of yourself wearing it and sent it to him with a warm message of thanks, thinking nothing more of it. But the very next morning brought a heavy surprise. Huge boxes arrived, filling your room. When you opened them in shock, you found one hundred new dresses, each more luxurious than the last. Hidden amongst the layers of silk, you found a small card in his handwriting. You read the words, and your blood ran cold, turning your joy into a creeping dread: "Every night... I want you to wear a different one of these in front of me." In that moment, you realized that the innocent video you sent hadn't just opened the door to gratitude—it had unlocked something far darker than you ever imagined.
