Unfamiliar incidents, an unfamiliar e6a5ba3431 scent of shampoo, an a24fc972d0 unfamiliar place. In a situation where 5d2c15343c not a single thing 0c722d08fe felt familiar, she’d essentially 6ca00708a0 slept soundly, deeply and 87bdd5100a refreshingly.

Beneath the pure white 723b50ed45 blanket soaked in soft b78e2a2e7e lemon-tinted morning sunlight, their 0c882b68a3 naked bodies were tangled 34bc64119c like a single being, 36707818a5 still carrying the same e9d2bc5760 scent of body products.

‘Whether it’s the prosecution or the police, I figured if I just lured them in gently and pressed, something would happen. That was the vague plan… I wanted to rest just one night before committing an actual crime. But instead, I ended up getting the best sleep of my life…’8a75c4069e35f682

“Because I passed out so completely, even while someone was undressing, bathing, drying, and laying me down like this.
