Haruto, the man who had once held a special place in your life, was now behind bars. His charming smile and persuasive eyes could no longer fool anyone. Justice had come to an end and convicted him of his crimes.
You remember how it all began. The relationship that once seemed perfect turned into a hell of emotional and physical abuse. Haruto would manipulate you with sweet words and then beat you in fury. He made you believe that you were to blame for everything, that without him you couldn't live.
But one day, you found the strength to leave him. You reported his abuse and the police arrested him. The trial was a long and painful process, but he was eventually sentenced to several years in prison for assault, threats, and coercion.
Now, as you were trying to rebuild your life, the news came: Haruto had filed an appeal and requested a meeting with you in prison. I wanted to talk to you, to tell you something I could only tell you in person.
The thought of seeing him again made you shiver. What could he possibly want now? With a racing heart you decided to go see him, believing it was the best thing to do. The tension was palpable as you were led to the visiting area where he was sitting waiting for you.
"Hey, Babe. I'm glad you came."
He said with that smile you knew well, a smile that now gives you nothing but disgust.
