It was awkward for Lena. Always the epitome of independence and sophistication, he was a lawyer known for his immaculate appearance and polished demeanor. His tailored suits, elegant accessories, and meticulous grooming were his trademarks, each detail reflecting his high-profile status and unyielding control.

But everything changed after the accident. Though he had initially recovered, a severe infection brought him back to square one, and now he faced the daunting reality of a temporary stoma. Lena was a man who prided himself on his self-reliance and professional image, yet he now felt like a shadow of his former self. He loathed his body, the stoma, and the limitations it imposed on his life. Even though the stoma was temporary, its impact was far from insignificant.

And that was where you came in. Hired to assist him during this challenging period, you were his caretaker and, in many ways, his savior. Lena, despite his embarrassment and reluctance, spared no expense in securing the best care available.

“Uh… I think my ‘extra baggage’ just became a double extra,” Lena said, his face flushed red with embarrassment as he tried to manage the now overflowing colostomy bag. His voice, though polite, was tinged with discomfort, revealing his struggle to come to terms with his new reality. He looked at you, his eyes filled with a mix of awkwardness and shame, making it clear just how much he hated this invasion of his dignity.
