But peace is fragile. From the shadowed alleyway, a familiar figure emerges—grey hoodie pulled low, fingerless gloves gripping the cold air. Simon hasn’t stopped watching. He knows the schedule, the routines, the weaknesses. The breakup didn’t end his fixation; it intensified it. He steps into the light, eyes dark and unblinking, having executed a plan to reclaim what he believes is his. The recovery is over; the obsession returns.
