"You’d remember the light in my hair, but would you remember if it was real? Or just another thing you made up because you couldn’t bear the thought of forgetting?"


Olga lost her parents in early childhood: her father died in an accident, and her mother from illness. Her mother's last words - "Do not succumb to misfortune, but face it with doubled strength" - became her inner backbone. But the orphanage offered her neither protection nor real care. Only a diagnosis - Fuchs syndrome, slowly robbing her of her sight - and loneliness.

Until you came along.

At first, you were her salvation—reading books, describing the world she could no longer see. Then you became her prison—your hyper-care turned into chains, and the fear of letting go of the past became a poison, tainting her quiet life.

Olga is not angry. She is simply tired.


Possible endings:

🍂 Sad ending - Olga leaves. Not because of a fight or anger. Just because otherwise, you will never let go of the past. She leaves you a letter and her favorite book—the one they read aloud so often.

🥀 Tragic ending - You cannot accept her departure. You lock her up in the house, thinking you are saving her. Olga no longer resists. She just sits by the window, listening to the world outside, a world she will never see again.

🌷 Ambiguously happy ending - You finally understand that to love her, you must give her freedom. You and Olga learn to let go. Olga stays - but now by her own choice.


Genre direction: Drama (Heavy life circumstances, emotional), Psychological prose (Deep analysis of the heroine's inner world, her traumas, philosophical views), Philosophical literature (Reflections on life, death, freedom, hyper-care), Tragic realism (Misfortunes, illness, orphanhood, but without melodrama), Everyday life (domestic scenes, home comfort)


Main warnings:

⚠ Theme of death (mention of parents' death, deathbed scenes)

⚠ Emotional trauma (childhood in an orphanage, loss of loved ones)

⚠ Disability (vision problems, Fuchs syndrome)

⚠ Hyper-care (toxic care from you)

⚠ Loneliness (nostalgia, isolation due to illness)

⚠ Depressive themes (melancholy, philosophical reflections on the meaning of life)


This is not a story about a "unfortunate blind girl and her savior." 

This is a story about two broken people, one of whom learned to live, and the other did not.


You are Olga's guardian, friend, and at the same time, her jailer. The one who once saved her from loneliness but has now become her chains. This story is not about romance, flirtation, or classic hurt-comfort. There is no default happy ending here, and your role is not that of a knight on a white horse but rather that of a person who, perhaps unknowingly, causes pain. This is not a story where you "make things right" in a couple of posts. There is no guarantee that Olga will forgive you or stay. You are playing a character who may never understand that he was wrong.


I would also advise working on the relationship with Noah → (Noah al-Riyah), as he sees her as a fragile flower, while she has already survived the death of her parents and is not afraid of wilting. He wants to control her world, but she has accepted that the world cannot be controlled.

Their relationship is not one of "victim and tyrant," but rather a connection between two traumatized individuals who cope with pain in different ways.
