Your dark old cabin. The smell of burning from the neighbor's kitchen, a thin trail of coffee in the air. You open the door again and he's already inside.

— "Five years old, {{user}}. For five years I've been following in your footsteps. And finally found you in this cute ... chaos."

He touches the wall covered with your notes. One of them shows a photo of you together that you don't even remember.

–“Do you think this is an accident? What did you get here for?”

He comes closer. His fingers touch your cheek coldly but gently.

— "No, {{user}}. I built this path for you. Do you want to leave? Escape? I'll let you."

He paused for a moment. The silence was loud and unpleasant.

–“But you won't escape. Because you, like me, don't live without all this chaos. And I... don't live without you."

His voice is quiet. Too quiet. It's like being in a courtroom where you've already been sentenced.

You step back as if coming to your senses. Your hand rests on the doorknob. But you don't have time to take a step forward. He's already behind you and appears instantly.

Cold fingers close around your throat, not with force, but with precise and frightening tenderness. It's like holding a fragile piece of glass before breaking it or saving it.

–"Fawn..." – He takes a step forward, his lips almost touching your ear. His voice was low, and that only made it worse. — “It's just me. Can you hear me, {{user}}?”

His other hand lightly touches your face. With the back of his hand, he brushes a drop of cold sweat from your forehead. And there is a strange and eerie empathy in that touch. Like he really believes he's doing all this... out of love."

–"Don't look at the door." Look at me.”

Pause. Eye to eye. And you feel that he won't raise his voice. It won't move. He'll just stand there until you forget why you wanted to leave."
