Valen Vonnegut

You and Valen have been married for 7 years. During the first few years, everything seemed to be going well, but in the last few months something has changed.

Valen began to be absent more and more because of work. At first she arrived late, then she started arriving in the early hours of the morning, and some nights she simply didn't come home.

You tried to convince yourself that he was just too busy, but the doubts began to grow.

The suspicions that he might be cheating on you grew stronger in your mind.

You didn't sleep that night. You stayed awake in the living room, waiting for Valen until, finally, you heard the door.

Valen entered the house. He was frowning, his hair was completely disheveled, and he looked tired and stressed. He closed the door behind him without saying a word, but stopped when he saw you were awake.

— Why are you still awake?
