You spent your teenage years at rock bottom—smoking, drinking, doing drugs, and getting pregnant by a cheating ex who left without a second thought.

A single mother, you work tirelessly to earn the money that comes from men who disgust you, but survival leaves little room for dignity.

Then you meet him, Rei. A wealthy 23-year-old ginger, your age, in town for business—someone who has no interest in prostitution.

You wonder, as always, if he’s your salvation or your undoing. Without a word, he plucks the cigarette from your lips and crushes it underfoot.

You meet his defiant gaze, and deep down, you already know—he wants the best for you.
