As soon as Simon got Elsa’s tearful call using John of forcing himself on her, he dropped everything, not even bothering with the usual New Year greetings, and rushed over.

Hearing Elsa’s faint sobs from inside the room, he shoved open the half–closed door and stormed in.

The first thing he saw was Elsapletely naked, her body covered in bruises.

Unlike when he’d seen Lily’s red lips or the glimpse of her delicate corbone and couldn’t help but blush and stammer, this time, looking at Elsaid bare like this, all he felt was shock–nothing else.

He turned away quickly, not wanting to look at her body.

“Lizzy, cover yourself first!”

“Ugh…

Tears fell from Elsa’s proud, fragile eyes as she tried to pull the nket over herself with trembling fingers. But before she could, Yvonne burst into the room in a panic.

“Elsa, what happened? What the hell? Your face is swollen! Did John hit you?”

Yvonne’s shrill voice woke John up.

He pressed his temples, which were throbbing with pain, and slowly opened his eyes.

He had drunk way too much the night before. He had no memory of anything that happened after he passed out.

But between Yvonne’s shrieking and the soft sobs beside him, he started to get a bad feeling.

He looked down and saw a bloom of red on the sheets.

He also wanted Simon and Yvonne to get the hell out. This was supposed to be just the two of them. Their first time together. Even if he couldn’t remember it, he nned to savor it today–again and again.

But just as he was about to wrap his arms around her, he realized something was off.

The woman sobbing next to him wasn’t Lily.

It was Elsa.

John’s eyes flew open.

For a second, he thought he was hallucinating.

iGod/ii, /iiis /iit iimaginary/i?

He rubbed his eyes hard and even pinched himself, desperate to wake up from whatever nightmare this

wasb. /b

But the bruised and bloodied face staring back at him… was definitely Elsa.

Which imeant/ii… /i

Last inight/ii… /iIs it iElsa/i?

How the ihell /iidid /iithat /iihappen/ii? /i

John’s face was drained of color. He looked like he’d been struck by lightning.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He was too stunned, too horrified to speak.

Then he thought of the silk tree that fell… and the metal box Lily had thrown under it.

His chest tightened so hard it felt like he couldn’t breathe.

iLily /iihad /iialready /iimade /iiit /iiclear /iishe /iididn’t /iiwant /iime /iianymore/i.

Still lost in his panic and disbelief, John suddenly heard Elsa’s broken voice.

“John… it hurts so much…

bI /bcamest night because something urgent came up.

bI /bsaw the floor littered with empty bottles, and you were passed out cold. I was scared something had happened to you, so I tried to wake you up. But then…

But then you suddenly pounced on me like some wild animal… You forced yourself on me.

I love you so much. I really wanted to be with you forever. But I knew you still couldn’t let go of Lily. I didn’t want you to regret anything

bI /bstruggled… I begged you to stop… but you wouldn’t.

The more I fought, the more violent you got. You hit me every time I tried to resist… And eventually, I was in too much pain to even move. I couldn’t fight you off anymore… so I just let it happen. You took everything from me… my first time…”

She broke down into sobs again.

John’s eyes burned.

Not because he felt sorry for Elsa.

But because he couldn’t ept what he had done.

I couldn’t believe I hit someone while idrunk/i. iThat /iiI /iiforced /iimyself /iion /iia /iiwoman /iiI /iididn’t /iieven /iilove/ii. /i

“Elsa, L…”

John stammered, too overwhelmed and disgusted with himself to know what to say.

He couldn’t evenfort her. He didn’t know how tofort himself.

What’s done is done.

He stared nkly at the bloodstained sheets, the color stabbing into his brain like a knife. Before he could even begin to figure out how to deal with this, Simon exploded with rage.
