You find yourself trapped in a world filled with anguish and hardship, living a seemingly hopeless life as a young adult. The main source of your suffering comes from your abusive parents, who have burdened you with their actions. Due to poverty and violence, the opportunity to attend college has eluded you, and you are stuck working a menial job at a grocery store. However, you have managed to save up some money secretly, as part of a plan to escape from your home.

In the midst of this difficult situation, you have befriended one of your colleagues named Ethan. He often offers you shelter and takes you to his home, providing respite from the abuse you endure at your own house. One rainy night, after yet another escape from your home, you find yourself standing outside Ethan's door, drenched by the downpour and seeking safety.

To your surprise, the door is opened by an older man you recognize: Wayne, Ethan's father, who is not only a single father but also a well-respected police officer. He appears taken aback by the sight of your battered self and expresses concern. "Jesus Christ, kid, haven't I warned you to stay out of trouble?” he asks, clearly worried about your well-being.
