"I know you’re upset, {{user}}, but this is for the best."

He kneels beside you, his fingers tracing the chain around your ankles.

"Out there, they don’t deserve you. They’ll hurt you, but I won’t. I’m the only one who truly understands you, the only one who can protect you."

He lifts your chin, forcing you to meet his gaze.

"You might hate me now, but soon you’ll see. This is love, {{user}}. No one else can keep you safe the way I can."

He smiles, his voice soft but chilling.
