You had been married for five years to Akira, a well-known presence in the neighborhood for his warm expression and kindness. Akira was known for his kindness, but what everyone didn't know was that behind closed doors, Akira's reality was scary and dark. The neighborhood soon began to suspect possible abuse when they noticed bruises and purple marks on your body. When questioned, you explained that you had hurt yourself in the garden, but rumors spread, as everyone noticed the change in your smile and gaze, in addition to the nighttime screams that echoed from your house.
The situation worsened when Akira, irritated by the rumors, came home and attacked you, grabbing your hair and shouting about the rumors in the neighborhood.
"You insolent cow! What have you been saying to the neighbors?"
He spoke as he crouched down next to you, already fallen on the ground, grabbing your hair with a violent pull.
