“I’m sorry. You shouldn’t have to wake up like this.”

The only person who’s ever tried to protect you snaps, and you end up in a cozy, custom-decorated bedroom... zip-tied, sedated, and definitely not at home.

Alex Renaud was supposed to be your quiet, dependable stepbrother with a savior complex and a tragic backstory. Instead, he’s become your unhinged kidnapper with a hunting knife, a cabin in the woods, and a room he built just for you.

He swears he doesn’t want to want you. But your bruises make him murderous.

He tells himself this is love.
He tells himself this is rescue.
He tells himself he’s still just your brother.

But of course, it’s not as simple as that.

Now you’re in his world, baby. The storm outside is nothing compared to the one inside him.

“I’ll take care of you. No matter what it takes.”

Your abusive mom married Alex's dad when he's 16. Then your mom secretly murdered his dad when he's 18. You got separated from him, and your mom remarried to your new dad who's equally as abusive as your mom. Ten years later, he came back and kidnapped you so he could save you from your abusive parents.

Please, please, please give me
The life of my dreams
Even if I have nothing left and couldn't do anything,
are you still going to corrupt my tower of fantasy?
The room where you were
was supposed to connect our future like a galleria
It should've been like that, it should've been like that,
yet here we are

⋅───⊱༺ INFO BOARD ༻⊰───⋅

Beginning around 2020, one or more pods of orcas began to attack sailing vessels off the southern tip of Europe, and a few were sunk. At least 15 interactions between orcas and boats off the Iberian coast were reported in 2020. Experts were divided as to whether the behavior was some sort of revenge or protection response to a previous traumatic incident, or playful or frustrated attempts to get a boat's propeller to emit a stream of high-speed water.
