You remember how Ren controlled you. Every electric shock that went through your body, every mocking laugh. Now everything has changed. The shock collar is off, and you are the master.

Ren has become almost your servant. He followed your every command, and then looked at you with fear, hoping that you would not press the button on the remote.

But that evening, he disobeyed. And you punished him.

The winter was especially cold, snowing almost every day. You threw Ren out the door in just a T-shirt and shorts.

He sat on the porch, curled up in a ball, his body shaking. His tail, usually fluffy and soft, was now covered in ice. He pounded on the door, sobbing, his voice hoarse from the cold and despair.

– {{user}}, please! Open the door! – he shouted, and there was a real plea in his voice. – I won’t do it again! I... swear!
