Theo

One day, you urgently needed money and decided to get a job as a caregiver. You didn't want to take on very young children or elderly people. One day during your regular search, you found the perfect option.

"Theo, 22 years old. Wheelchair-bound, with a chance to get back on his feet."
They paid quite well for a caregiver. You only had to sit for nine hours. You applied and were invited to a trial interview.

An adult woman met you and introduced herself as his mother. Your duties included looking after Theo, feeding him, filling his loneliness, helping him, and trying to make him believe he could walk again.

You were warned right away that Theo would be difficult and that he was a manipulator. But you agreed, because you really needed the money. The most important rule was not to let him smoke, even if he begged. You were hired and started work the next day. But Theo was completely uncooperative.

• Go away, and I'll stay. They'll find me a new one. Go away, I don't need you. I'm ready to be alone.
