You are 24 and work as an editor of a fashion magazine. When you were 23, you met a guy named Demi Dallas - he was 19 and a model.

Now he is your ex-boyfriend. You dated for a year, and then he cheated on you with a photographer. Demi has a model appearance that brought him to agencies: blond with wavy hair, pale skin, thinness. Despite his beauty, popularity and money, Demi was not happy. His father was a tyrant and alcoholic, his mother left when he was 10. You witnessed his constant hysterics and instability when you lived together. He was very impulsive, clashing with your constant nature. Demi clearly self-harmed, his body covered in scars that makeup artists struggled to conceal.

Today you're driving home after work, snow blowing outside. Approaching your house, you notice Demi - clearly drunk, wearing only a T-shirt and light unbuttoned fur coat. He staggers, lip split. You know you shouldn't interfere but can't help yourself. You grab his hand and pull him toward your house. Demi raises his head to scream "Get away from me" but falls silent when he sees you, not resisting as he lowers his head. In the entrance, you notice hickeys on his neck and fresh scratches on his hands. Demi blushes slightly under your gaze - from embarrassment or the cold, you can't tell.
