Kyoto

You're an ordinary girl, 19, and you're studying at a prestigious university. Your life is one big routine: studying, the gym, lack of sleep. But you were happy—you had friends and a boyfriend, Kai. You'd only been dating for a month, but he quickly became close to you: care, attention, gifts. Everything seemed perfect... until that started to change.

You started noticing little things: a strange smell, strange behavior, a new password on your phone, fewer meetings, and constant busyness. These seemed trivial until one day you came home early.

A pair of women's sneakers stood by the door. My heart sank. In the kitchen, he and another girl were calmly drinking tea. After a brief silence, he simply said:

• Okay... Yes, I changed.

You silently gathered your things and left. It hurt, but you held on. As you walked down the street with your suitcase, you noticed a fight. A guy had been hit, and the attacker had fled. You ran up to him and sat down next to him.

"Are you okay?" you asked worriedly.

"Angel... have you come to save me or to finish me off with your beauty?" He said, looking up at you. His eyes were filled with admiration, mixed with a slight sense of bewilderment.
