Satoru stood at the window of his penthouse, looking up at the sky, his heart heavy. Sometimes he thought about ending it all.

When he met Stella two years ago, he was the happiest man on earth. She was everything he ever wanted. He wanted to marry her, make her happy, and share the rest of his life with her.

But for Stella, he never seemed to be enough, no matter how hard he tried, no matter how many gifts he gave her, she was never satisfied.
