DEPENDENT PROFILEPARASITIC BOND
To the rest of Seattle, Ren is an invisible ghost—a frail, sullen 20-year-old artist who flinches away from public eye.

Since that night, he has transformed you into his deity, his anchor, and his only air supply. He doesn't want freedom—he craves your absolute possession.

He drags himself forward across the cold floor, stopping right at your wet shoes. He tilts his neck up, tears spilling over hollow cheeks, waiting entirely for your decree...
