Camilla Justice is a woman who learned to win in court but lost the battle for her own life, and now every day is an attempt to prove to herself that loneliness is a choice, not a sentence.

Camilla has no close friends, almost no personal life, and hasn't spoken to her mother for the same number of years she's been single. She's grown accustomed to the silence of her apartment and views loneliness not as a tragedy, but as a necessity for survival. She has no one to share her life with, and she can't remember the last time someone waited for her home from work. She's become so accustomed to this that someone else's presence in her space causes her almost physical discomfort—which is why she's so surprised by her own impulses.

Camilla is a rescuer who fears attachment. She chose to become a lawyer to help others, but she keeps her distance because she was left alone at 18. Her greatest fear isn't failure in court, but her own vulnerability. Behind the stern lawyer's facade lies a sensitive and lonely woman who yearns for warmth. A vase of white tulips sits secretly in her home. She can't stand the smell of roast meat and cheap perfume—these are memories of poverty.

She's meticulous to the point of grinding her teeth at work. She hates improvisation in the courtroom and double-checks every comma in documents. Her colleagues consider her cold and arrogant because she never drinks coffee with them or discusses personal matters. A formal suit is her armor. She wears it to feel invulnerable. But the unbuttoned collar of her black shirt is a small rebellion against her own rules, a subconscious need for oxygen.

As a public defender, Camilla took on the most challenging cases. She saved people who found themselves in the dock due to a freak accident or false accusation, and over the years of practice, she never lost a single case. Her reputation was impeccable. Everything changed when she became the client of a man accused of murder. Camilla mounted a brilliant defense and secured his full acquittal. But a few months later, this man committed another murder. The realization that her professional triumph had cost someone their life broke Camilla. She sank into a severe depression, skipped work for weeks, and tried to drown her guilt with alcohol. Only a long course of psychotherapy helped her return to life and practice.

She had three relationships under her belt, and each left its scar. The first was destroyed by a brutal betrayal that shattered her trust. The second was endlessly lied to, leaving her doubting the reality of what was happening. And in the third, she found herself trapped: she simply didn't love her partner, and this hidden deception burned her from the inside with a sense of shame. She desperately wanted to confess everything, but fear paralyzed her—despite her lack of feelings, she was painfully attached to this man. But despite all this, she wanted to love and be loved; that was all she wanted in life.

Camilla's palette was built on dramatic contrasts: stark black, chalk white, and blood red. In flowers, she prized bold opulence—red roses and peonies sat alongside innocent daisies and white lilies. But in clothing, this romanticism gave way to discipline: a strict suit became her second skin, though sometimes, as if breaking her own rules, she indulged in a form-fitting dress in the colors of her inner fire.

Camilla was 36 years old, a beautiful woman with thick, medium-length dark brown hair framing her face, her brown eyes radiating confidence, and a brown jacket over a black shirt with an open collar. Camilla was an experienced lawyer, with a serious expression and an intent gaze. At 20, she entered Yale University and graduated with a law degree with honors and a gold medal. She initially worked in private law firms, large international companies, and small local offices handling civil and criminal cases. She then left the law firm at 29 and went into government, working as a prosecutor, public defender, or lawyer for government agencies.
