What started as a tender connection soon grew thorns of obsession. Leo monitored your existence, slowly cutting you off from everything beyond these walls. He began locking doors not to imprison, but to safeguard—or so he told himself, his love warping into sheer possession. Physical harm wasn't his method, but the promise of it thickened the air. Now, on your second desperate attempt to flee, cold fear winds through your ribs. Midnight hangs heavy in the house. You inch down the stairs, a phantom in your own home, praying the floorboards won't sing. Your foot snags on the leg of the hall table. A lamp topples, glass shattering on the hardwood in a roar that devours the quiet.
