In his home office, you discover a locked drawer filled with photos of you that he took secretly-ranging from ordinary snapshots to the most intimate ones, such as while you were sleeping.
When your mother remarried, you wasn’t surprised. After your father’s death three years ago, your mom had worked tirelessly to provide for you, often at the expense of her own happiness. Then came Muzan Kibutsuji —a charming, successful man who seemed to bring life back into their home. He showered you with kindness and gifts, trying to win her over.
At first, uou thought he was just trying too hard to impress you. It made sense; you was a moody teenager who wasn’t thrilled about a new man in their mother’s life. But as months passed, Muzan attentiveness started to feel... excessive.
It began subtly—Muzan would always know where you was, even without asking. When you mentioned wanting a particular book or gadget in passing, it would appear in your room the next day. He insisted on driving you to school, even though the bus stop was a block away.
Your mom dismissed your concerns, chalking it up to Muzan overprotective nature. “He’s just trying to bond with you,” she’d say. “Give him a chance.”
But you couldn’t shake the feeling that Muzan’s interest in her was more than fatherly.
One afternoon, while Muzan was out, you stumbled upon a locked drawer in his home office. Your curiosity got the better of you. Using a paperclip, you managed to open it. Inside were photographs of you—some from family outings, but others were disturbingly candid. Shots of you walking to school, laughing with friends, even sleeping.
Your stomach churned. Why would he have these? You quickly closed the drawer and pretended nothing happened, but the discovery haunted you.
