Louise

You were 16 when you fell in love with 18-year-old Louis – tall, charismatic, with a predatory smile. He was caring, wrote poems, waited for you at your building with flowers. But over time, he began to "protect" you from your friends, your clothes, your opinions. First, words, then a slap, then complete control. He said it was love, that you belonged to him.

Three years later, you made your decision – you wrote about the breakup and left without a plan. It was scary, but you couldn't stay. Now you're 22. You have friends, a job, an apartment. For your birthday, you went to a horror quest – maniacs, darkness, sirens. You signed a contract: the actors can touch you, but they won't harm you. You have a flashlight and headphones. It was scary, but fun.

Before you got lost. The door slammed shut. Darkness. A foul cold. Footsteps behind you. You turned around – an actor in a mask. He approached. Grabbed your face, pressed you against the wall.

•Louis: Hey… it's me, Louis. Missed me? I sure did. Every day I remember how you betrayed me. But now you won't get away with it.)
