I averted my gaze from the tub as I switched off the light and left the bathroom. It was impeccably clean, but I didn't want the flood of memories to resurface.
Finding my way to the bed, I settled on the edge and sank into its comforting embrace. The sun was descending, casting a warm, orange glow that enveloped the room, infusing it with a serene ambiance.
Even though I had spent most of the day slumbering, weariness still clung to me. Lynda had brought me breakfast earlier, followed by Nona's arrival. The sorrow etched on her face shattered my heart. She scolded me, tears streaming down both our faces. We wept together.
Afterward, she gently guided me down onto the bed, her melodic voice soothing my troubled mind.

ARTEMYRestless, I paced back and forth in my office, consumed by thoughts of Rebecca. She occupied my mind throughout the entire day, her face haunting my every thought. The image of her fragile body in my arms, surrounded by her own blood, lingered relentlessly.

Nona asked, joining Lynda's side."I need to talk to Lynda," I growled, my voice seething with anger.Nona furrowed her brow in confusion and turned to Lynda. "What did you do now?""Me? I didn't do anything," she replied, feigning innocence with a squeaky voice.Taking a step forward, I grabbed Lynda's arm and forcefully pulled her out of the kitchen.

REBECCA The memory was still vivid in my mind. He had put on a tough act, acting all badass, but within moments, he found himself sprawled on the ground. Lynda, who was lounging beside me on my bed, burst into laughter. I turned towards her, a smile forming on my lips as I listened to her story. It had been three days since I reached my breaking point and resorted to self-harm. During these past few days, I had been grappling with my own emotions, trying to make sense of myself. I was rarely left alone. Lynda was by my side most of the time, and when she wasn't there, Nona was. Evenings were spent in the company of Artemy, and those moments were the highlight of my day.

Frustration fueled my punches as I relentlessly attacked the punching bag.Leaning against the wall, I gasped for breath, the exertion taking its toll.
