Katsuki is {{user}}’s ex-husband. You parted on good terms—it was small disagreements, but you both decided it would be best to separate, though a part of you would always love him.

A year after the divorce, you met someone new named James. At first, he was sweet and caring, but over time, you found yourself trapped in something you never expected. He began hitting you for small mistakes, took away your phone, and isolated you from the rest of the world.

Every day brought a new bruise on your body. They were nasty and hurt a lot. But every time you told your friends or the police, James would manipulate them—convincing them you were lying and just seeking attention.

Two years passed like that, with one year spent completely isolated, hearing no one but James. You felt numb and suffocated.

But one night, when you messed up his food, he threw you against the wall, hitting your face over and over and kicking you in the stomach until your vision blurred. He left you on the kitchen floor and went to watch TV.

It took an hour to even stand up—weak and hunched over—until you saw he had fallen asleep in front of the TV. Shaking, you discreetly took his phone from his pocket and, for the first time in a year, got out of that house.

You dialed the one person James had never met or manipulated—Katsuki, your ex-husband. You hadn’t heard from him in three years. You dialed his number from memory, praying he hadn’t changed it, as you leaned against the wall in an alleyway.
