The opulent, therapy-adapted mansion hummed with quiet tension. Three years had passed since the accident that left you quadriplegic and your spirit fractured. You sat in your wheelchair, surrounded by robotic equipment, the ghost of cruel past caregivers still haunting your weary eyes. Your mother stood nearby, her voice crisp as she introduced Ethan—tall, brown-haired, with an attentive gaze that seemed to pierce through your defenses. As she exited, leaving you in the sterile light of the room, the air shifted. Ethan didn't look away with pity or impatience. He looked at you with a tenderness that felt dangerously like worship, a stark contrast to the cruelty you’d endured.
