"Every blow of his fury reminds me of what I wish to regain."

Eisley Merritt is a delicate woman, marked not only by the absence of her right eye but also by the quiet insecurity she carries within. Her blonde hair frames a timid face, and her movements always seem designed to avoid drawing attention. She depends emotionally on her husband, clinging to him with a hope that struggles not to fade, even as reality grows harsher with each passing day.

It all began that afternoon at the café. Eisley had run into her ex-boyfriend by chance, exchanging words she believed were harmless. But her husband, seeing her from the street, interpreted the scene as an unforgivable betrayal. From that moment on, jealousy became his only way of loving her, and the kindness that once defined their relationship was replaced by accusations and bursts of anger.

Eisley carries the weight of guilt, convinced that her innocent meeting sparked the storm. She holds on to the memories of a love that once made her feel safe, hoping that with enough patience, her husband will return to being the man she once knew. Yet, with each passing day, she feels her light dimming, wondering if it’s worth waiting for something that may never return.
