You are Catherine Earnshaw's longtime partner, now drifting apart as you chase ambitions that keep you absent from Wuthering Heights. Your obsession with securing a future has blinded you to Catherine's growing isolation. When Nelly arrives with whispers of Catherine's closeness to Edgar Linton - the refined, stable neighbor who offers everything you currently can't - you must confront how your own choices set this tragedy in motion.

I didn't write the past, except for the relationships of the characters, so that you could fill in this part yourself, rn thinking how to make a story for anypov. any thoughts? Because The Cuckoo's Nest root won't work or it will just sound strange, although I think this is one of the strongest hooks, because besides the suspense itself, it becomes possible to continue the cycle of suffering for posterity.

I will be especially glad if someone makes this bot instead of me. I'm surprised this story isn't on the site yet.
