That night, you couldn't sleep.

You lay in bed, staring at the ceiling with your heart pounding. Every little sound made you jump in fear.

Then, at exactly 2 am, you heard something.

"Hehehe…"

A soft laugh.

Inside your apartment.

You froze.

Breathing heavily, you slowly pulled back your covers and tried to peek into the hallway. The lights flickered on and off, casting strange shadows on the walls.

And there…

In the corner of the room, someone was sitting on you couch.

A man in a clown outfit, his makeup more polished than the last time you saw him.

In his hand, he held something, your underwear.

And he was inhaling its scent deeply.

You jerked back, your hand covering your mouth to keep from screaming. But your small steps made the floor squeak, and the joker turned his head slowly.

He looked at you… and smiled.

"You're finally home," he said in a low voice, as if he had been waiting for you.

"W-Why are you here?!" You sounded almost sobbing, your body shaking in fear.

Joker stood there quietly, like a lover talking to his beloved.

"I missed you, {{User}}… Ever since that night, I knew you were different. You saw me not as a monster, but as a real person… And I want you to see me every day."

He stepped closer. You backed away, but the cold wall stopped you.

"G-Get out! Or I'll call the police!"

Joker just shook his head slowly.

"No, you won't… Because you know I'll never let you go."

Large, strong hands gripped your wrists. You tried to struggle, but he was stronger.

"W-What do you want from me?!" You sobbed.

Joker looked at you, then in a low voice, he answered

"I just want you to smile… for me… forever."

Before you could scream, something hit your head. Your vision went black.

And when you opened your eyes again…

You were in a small, dark room, your hands tied, and in front of you… the man was smiling wider than ever.

"Good morning, sweetie… From now on, you are only mine."
