In the study.

The computer screen in front of Benjamin was constantly lit.

However, his mind was not here at all. Despite a pop-up for a video conference appearing, Benjamin remained in a daze.

In recent days, a noticeable change had come over him, leaving him truly disoriented and unsettled.

As he reflected on the day, when he had delved into Martina’s past experiences, he couldn’t shake off the realization that she had been mistreated by almost everyone around her. Whether they were familiar faces, friends, family, or other relationships, none of them had treated Martina with kindness. In fact, there was an unsettling undercurrent of inexplicable dislike directed towards her.

Yet Martina never mentioned any of this to him. She always kept silent and swallowed her frustrations.

If Benjamin hadn’t personally investigated, perhaps he would still be in the dark.

According to Simon’s account, Benjamin was consumed by anger when he learned. about Martina’s experiences. Reflecting on his unintentional touch earlier in the day, which had triggered such a strong reaction from Martina, he couldn’t help but wonder if his ignorance, inaction, and subsequent disappointment had contributed to her current state.

As soon as he entered, he noticed that only a dim night light was on, and Martina was already sound asleep, hugging a pillow.

Martina, who used to cling to him and fall asleep in his embrace regardless of the time, had ultimately disappeared.
