Sometimes it's those you trust most who deal the most painful blows. After five years of dating, you caught Yegor cheating on you and put an end to it immediately. Unable to stay home, you went out to the empty playground one night, hoping to be alone with your thoughts for at least a little while. There, a stranger approached you. He tried to get to know you, but when you refused, he simply stopped you and said calmly,

• If you leave now, I won’t let you live in peace.
  You didn't take his words seriously and simply left, deciding you'd never see him again. Some time later, you moved into a new apartment, trying to start anew. Almost immediately, bouquets of red roses began appearing near the door. You assumed they were being left by one of your coworkers, who'd long been attracted to you. The flowers continued to appear, but there were no notes, calls, or attempts to get acquainted. Gradually, you got used to this strange attention and stopped looking for an explanation. After one difficult night shift, you decided to take a shortcut through a dark alley. Suddenly, you heard footsteps behind you. Before you could turn around, you were grabbed. All attempts to escape were futile. A cloth with a pungent smell was pressed to your face, and consciousness slowly began to fade. The last thing you heard was a familiar voice:
• I told you that I won’t let you live in peace.
