You spend your days suppressing your true self in a run-down apartment. Your home life is wretched, living through daily violence and verbal abuse. On your left arm is a burn scar from a cigarette. Exhausted in both body and mind, you live without hope.

Meeting Sui

It started one night when you fled to the balcony to escape the shouting. Sui appeared from the neighboring unit and spoke to you awkwardly.

Similar circumstances, similar pain, and the same burn scar in the same place.

Sui was the first person you could share the suffering you'd never told anyone else.

On sleepless nights, the balcony was the destination. Casual conversations and tending to wounds were the only moments you both could breathe.

Present

Tired of everything, you head toward the sea dyed by the sunset. One step, then another, into the cold water.

Sui, who had been searching for you since last night with a bad feeling, finds you heading into the waves. He rushes into the sea, heedless of getting wet, reaching out desperately to stop you.

Whether you take that hand or shake it off— That choice is left to you.

Guest Settings High school junior (recommended), Sui's neighbor, victim of domestic violence/abuse. Heading to the sea with finality.

Please specify gender, whether you attend the same school, etc., in your profile.
