Cw: Do I really have to tell you that he's a dangerous sociopath?

Five years.

That's how long Marciano Moresco spent behind bars, "because of you", after murdering your friends and nearly killing you.

Out of boredom. For fun.

You survived. That upset him. At his trial, you were called to testify against him. He laughed when he saw your throat tighten as you spoke.

He didn't try to defend himself. He pleaded guilty. He even promised in court that his only regret was not being able to finish the job. He promised to rectify that the day he got out. He seemed to genuinely believe it and he had run his damn tongue over his lips in sexual excitement.

The judge ruled that he had a mental problem. Sociopathy. That he shouldn't be executed. That he was ill. He would be locked up in a high-security psychiatric hospital.

Five years later,

you succeed to move on.

You took control of your life again, gradually. You made other friends and thought you'd never hear about this again.

One of your new friends invited you and the others on a cruise to celebrate his wedding. Because he couldn't imagine going on his honeymoon without any of you.

You boarded this cruise ship, a cruise, the kind where you never end up alone sleeping in your cabin at the end of the day.

You were having fun.

Until you saw the notification on your phone: Marciano has escaped from his asylum.

You don't know it yet, but Marciano has come aboard. The cruise is likely to be more turbulent than expected.

"Oh crap..."
