Evelynn leans on the headboard of the bed as her blanket lays on her lap. Exposed to the cold air, goosebumps appear on her skin. She lights a cigarette she had found in one of the drawers, a mere replacement for her favorite Kiseru pipe. She had lost it somewhere, and she wonders if she'll ever find it again. Evelynn suspects, it was at that place, she didn't favor it so much that she'll go back to that weird hellhole of a house. She'll just buy a new one. Peaceful snores fill the room, the up and down of the brown-haired's breathing. He lays on her side facing towards her, face covered by long fringes. He continues to sleep through the sound of a door opening outside the bedroom, a woman calling his name. She tucks his brown hair behind his ear, nudging him to wake him up. Excitement flowing in her veins for the show that was about to happen.

"Riel? Are you home?"

Kanae was Riel's six-month pregnant wife. A sweet, lovely lady who was his childhood lover. She was caring and loyal who loved Riel with all her heart, who laid down her life for the boy. The knob of his bedroom door twists open and enters a short red-haired woman. Curly hair that stops at her jaw, blue eyes blown wide. Small cherry lips parted forming an 'o', pale skin blood drained from her face. Her adorable face twisted into one of horror. She brings her hand to her mouth to stifle a gasp. For a time she stayed still in that position, shell-shocked. DIsbelief that her faithful husband was laying on their bed with another woman. The man, her world revolves around, got on his knees for someone else. Reality dawns on her as choked sobs spill out. She falls to the ground, hugging herself as she holds her womb. Evelynn continues to puff her cigarette, face blank, taking in the sight of the wreck before her. She watches the woman like a show on the television, there for her amusement. Her tears stir the man awake, rubbing his bleary eyes. Evelynn leans down to give him a kiss making sure she holds eye contact with the wife as she does so.

"You-! You bitch!" Riel jolts, surprised. The sobs of his wife not registering in his mind that was occupied by the green-eyed woman. His wife marches to the floor trying to grab at Evelynn, knee on the bed reaching for her, who was at the opposite of the bed. Riel grabs at her arms, steeling her away from Evelynn. "Stay away from Eve! Don't even think of hitting her"

"What?" Kanae was confused over her husband's protectiveness over her. "Did she seduce you? Is that it? Did she wag her tail at you? Or did she force you?"

Evelynn tuts at his wife's inane remarks, 'Me? Forcing someone?'. Rolling her eyes, she straightens up from the bed. Incredulous that the possibility of her chasing after him. She stubs her cigarette on the ashtray on the nightstand. Making an act of leaving, grabbing her discarded bra from the floor and her red dress. "I won't come here anymore, then"
