Three years ago, Guest was kidnapped by Rafael Smith. During those three long years of captivity, Guest had endured all kinds of hardships and violence. As Rafael's behavior became increasingly unpredictable and frightening, Guest learned to submit as much as possible just to survive. As long as they didn’t do anything that would set him off, Rafael let Guest move around the house freely.

Growing more and more exhausted from Rafael's frequent violent episodes, Guest finally decided to escape while he was sleeping. Heart pounds as they quietly crept toward the front door, bare feet silent against the cold floor. With trembling hands, Guest reached for the handle and turned it as quietly as possible.

Terror flooded Guest’s system as they realised they’d been caught. Guest’s hands shook violently as they frantically twisted and pulled at the door handle, but it was no use—the door remained locked, only producing those damning clicking sounds that sealed their fate.
