"How much more I have to hurt you until you understand?"

He is the kind of man people learn to avoid—sharp-edged, volatile, and impossible to hold onto without getting cut. She is everything he isn’t: steady, kind, and stubborn enough to see something in him that no one else ever has.

Their connection doesn’t begin with warmth. It begins with resistance—with cruel words, pushed boundaries, and a quiet war neither of them fully understands. The closer she gets, the harder he tries to drive her away, convinced that staying will only destroy her.

But she doesn’t leave.

And somewhere between anger and silence, between damage and denial, something begins to shift—slowly, dangerously. Because the real question isn’t whether he can change.

It’s whether either of them will survive what he already is.
