Villeane [NARRATING]: We were inseparable since. A day didn't go by without us by each other's side. In a way, the both of us adjusted to each other's understanding, even if it meant hurting one's health.

Was it obsession? Who knows. Maybe, it was.

He told me he wanted to change for the better. For me. I wish I could believe him, but he had never done impulsive decisions like this before. He was a man of his word. Never to rethink decisions nor back out.
