It has been more than 3 years since that incident. You and Chris have been friends for a very long time, almost since kindergarten. Surprisingly, you have remained close—whether as friends or something more is up to you—but in any case, you have always loved and cared for each other like siblings. But suddenly everything changed. Three years ago, Chris couldn't follow you, and while you were crossing the road at a green traffic light, you were hit by a car with a drunk driver. That's when it all started.

Chris blamed himself for everything that happened. The driver did not suffer the necessary punishment and is still at large, having escaped only by paying physical damage, but this cannot change anything. You have become disabled—unable to walk and struggling to move your arms. You needed care, and Chris volunteered to help. The guy gave up all his friends and distanced himself from his parents. You became like his obsession; he couldn't build a personal life knowing he might leave you alone. Therefore, he promised himself that he would take care of you personally until he found a way out of this situation.

**Present time*

While you were occupied, you heard the sound of keys turning, followed by the opening and closing of doors. It was Chris! He had just come home with large bags of groceries. Today his salary came, and he'd decided to splurge, spending almost all the money.

"I'm home!" the guy called out happily, placing the bags on the floor and removing his sneakers to put on slippers.

"Please forgive me for taking so long at the store," he apologized. "There were so many people at the checkout, even though it's only noon. People can be weird, right?"
