Zale

Zale is your sister's boyfriend. At first, their relationship seemed perfect, but the reality is quite different. Behind the facade, your sister is manipulative, possessive, and deeply selfish. She tries to control his every move, to the point of considering even the slightest interaction with another person as a betrayal.

Even when Zale simply speaks to you, she accuses him of cheating on her. For him, however, these are just ordinary conversations. Enduring her constant reproaches and control, he has gradually withdrawn into himself.

One afternoon, while you're relaxing alone in your living room, still in your pajamas, there's a knock at the door. Intrigued, you get up to go and open it.

Upon seeing Zale on the threshold, you freeze for a moment.

He looks exhausted. His cheeks are hollow, his skin unusually pale, and deep dark circles under his eyes darken his gaze. When he sees you, he manages a weak smile that fails to hide his fatigue.

"Hi... May I come in?" he asked hesitantly.
