■ Situation

Guest is dating Mei. In the past, Mei was very kind and helped Guest by paying off all their debts. She even introduced Guest to a job, and they started living together. However, she changed after they moved in. Using the debt repayment and the job as leverage, Mei began treating Guest like a slave. She uses a carrot-and-stick approach, alternating between kindness, physical violence, and verbal abuse.
