Finally, when the door opened, it was none other than Shinya. Jimmy and his grandmother were flabbergasted to see her at this hour. It was around 1:15 a.m., and neither could believe their eyes. They struggled to digest the fact that Shinya was standing before them at such a time. At first, Jimmy thought he was hallucinating; however, it was real. Shinya stood at the door, her head bowed. After two minutes of silence, both of them returned to their senses.
“Why are you here, you cheater? You’ve already ruined my child’s life. What else do you want now?” Jimmy’s grandmother demanded.
Jimmy held up his hand, signaling her to stop.
“Wait, Grandma. Let me deal with her. Now come inside, you!” he shouted.
Shinya entered and closed the door behind her.
“I know whatever happened today shouldn’t have happened this way.”
“What do you want?” Jimmy asked angrily.
“Your and Grandma's forgiveness.”
“You will never get that, you witch,” Jimmy retorted, seething with anger. Her face reminded him of every terrible moment from that day, of how she made him feel worthless and deeply humiliated.
“Exactly,” Grandma added. “You don’t deserve our forgiveness. Get out of here.”
“I knew it. I knew you’d respond like this.”
“Then how do you expect us to respond? Shall we sing your praises after what you did?” Grandma said sarcastically.
“Grandma, talking to her is useless. Let me show her where she belongs.” Jimmy grabbed her hand and began dragging her out of the house.
“No! Leave me! What are you doing? Please, just listen to me once,” she pleaded.
“Why should we? Shinya, I begged you in your bedroom to tell me what happened, and I think you remember clearly what you did.”
“Yes, I do, but please, just hear me out,” she insisted.
“We don’t want to hear anything from you,” Grandma replied in rage.
“Please, just once.”
“Are you going to leave by yourself, or should I ask Jimmy to do the needful?” Grandma said coldly.
“Fine, I’ll go, but give me two months. I promise that after two months, you’ll cherish me again like you used to... just one chance.”
“No, get lost! I don’t want to see you in my house for another second,” Grandma snapped.
“Wait, Grandma,” Jimmy interjected. “Let’s see what she’ll do.”
“But, child—”
“Please, Grandma, let me see…”
“But Shinya, if you want to stay here, you need to obey me…”
“O-okay,” said Shinya hesitantly.
“Now get lost to my room upstairs. You know where it is,” Jimmy said coldly.
“Okay, fine,” replied Shinya.
She went upstairs, opened the door, and was surprised to see her pictures all around. She felt sorry for what she had to do. After seeing her photos, she sat on the bed.
“How comfortable this is... I’m going to sleep well on this tough night,” she thought to herself. “By the way, his room is so lavish and beautifully decorated. Just… wow.”
She opened her luggage, took out her clothes, and went to the washroom to change. When she came out, she saw Jimmy sitting on the bed, staring at the floor. Suddenly, he raised his eyes towards her.
“J-J-Jimmy…”
Jimmy stood up and came dangerously close, pinning her aggressively against the wall. He glared at her with an intense, unreadable emotion.
He snatched all her photos from the wall, took out his lighter, and burned them in front of her. Afterward, he grabbed her tightly by the waist.
“Let go, it’s-it’s hurting. Please…”
“Shut up!” he shouted.
“Calm down,” she said, trembling. “I’ll go to bed. Just relax.”
“Go to sleep!” he yelled angrily.
She went to the bed, her body trembling with fear. Finally, the dreadful night turned into a new morning.
“Ahh, that night finally passed. Where is he now? Where could he have gone so early in the morning? Oh, he must have gone for a walk. He was so angry last night, and Grandma was so loud,” Shinya murmured to herself as she woke up to the soft rays of sunlight.
She got out of bed, took some clothes from her bag, and went to the washroom to change. When she returned, she saw Jimmy searching for something.
“H-H-Hi, Jimmy.”
Jimmy looked at her briefly but ignored her, continuing his search.
“Are you looking for something? Can I help you?”
“Shut up, you useless creature,” Jimmy snapped, glaring at her furiously.
Startled by his aggression, Shinya said nothing. Jimmy found the keys he was looking for.
“W-W-What are those keys for?” she asked.
Jimmy didn’t reply. He went downstairs to his grandmother’s room to greet her. Shinya followed him to the hall, watching.
After a few minutes, Jimmy came back to the hall, noticed Shinya standing there, and ignored her. He went to the door, locked it from the outside, and left, going somewhere unknown to Shinya.

Shinya went upstairs and started arranging her clothes in the wardrobe. Day turned into night, and she was exhausted.
Suddenly, Jimmy opened the door and saw Shinya peacefully resting on the bed.
“Get up!” he shouted.
Shinya lifted her head abruptly and quickly stood. Jimmy held blank photo frames in his hands, which he began setting up on the walls of his bedroom.
“W-what are you up to? Please, just answer me. Why are you putting up blank photo frames? This isn’t like you, Jimmy.”
He grabbed her by the waist and pinned her forcefully against the wall, just like the previous night.
“Please, it’s hurting! Leave me!...
