The man lays down beside her. She is exhausted. Her tears are dried on her face. She can't move. The blood on the sheet is a clear indication of her lost innocence. He presses her face to his chest and gently moves his fingers through her silky hair while whispering sweet words to her.
All of a sudden, he grabs her hair hard and asks her, "Do you still feel pain?"
[FLASHBACK: Killer's POV]***[He always felt alone]The baby in the cradle squeals happily at him. She reaches for him with her chubby arms. Her eyes are the warmest shade of brown. When he reaches for her hand that has been trying to reach him, she catches it."Isn't she cute?" His mother smiles at him. He shrugs. "She likes you." His mother coos to him. "Her name is Hana."[Until he met her.]Hana. That name etches itself on his heart like thorny vines. The baby hasn't let go of his finger. His mother goes back to Hana's mother and other women, laughing and talking about their daily lives. Hana's father is reading his case file, not paying attention to the women's prattles. It's Hana's 100th-day celebration, but only a few relatives and some close friends of Hana's mother are invited. "She is an exact copy of her father." He hears his mother say to Hana’s mother and laugh. "She is going to be smart like him. I just have a feeling.""You think?" Hana's mother asks, excited."It's

Ahn Hana can’t sleep.Her heart is palpitating uneasily. Whenever she closes her eyes, she keeps feeling like the man will appear beside her again. What will he do to her?

Why did she think that those nights were a dream? He kept coming to her place and he slept with her. He twisted her body around to his needs and fucked her. Her body knows him. She has been raped for years and she didn’t even know. She kept thinking that it was a dream. Why was she so stupid? How did he manage to do that? Her entire life was his manipulation.

Then, she argues with him with her tiny voice.Instead of reading her colourful books, she prefers peeking at her father's case files. He likes watching her all the time. She also has a pet rabbit now. It’s a white furry thing that her father got her. She likes feeding it, and playing with it.One day, they are alone in the garden with the pet rabbit."Do you like it more than me?" He asks her."No." She shakes her head. "I like you more."Her words please him. Those also make him sad: he isn’t the only one in her heart."My dear, what if you have to choose between him and me?" He picks up the rabbit.
