About this Novel

Around 1:40 AM, during the night, I woke up needing to use the restroom. As I walked past Gwaggo's room, an unusual sound caught my attention – her father was moaning, a sound I had never heard before. The distressing words he uttered seemed to repeat, "You will kill me... I will die..." I felt a deep sense of unease and paused by the door, my ear pressed against it. Fearing for Gwaggo's safety, I couldn't ignore the ominous implications of her father's words. I mustered the courage to knock on the door, but it remained closed. From within, I could hear Gwaggo's voice, repeating the same chilling refrain, "You are going to kill me..." Driven by a surge of concern and anger, I pushed the door open. In the dimly lit room, the intensity of the moment made my heart race. Gwaggo was in a state of distress, struggling with her clothes. Confusion filled the room as I tried to explain my presence, apologizing and offering to help. "Gwaggo, I heard your father's ominous words, his threats. I came to find Miki. Are you alright?" Gwaggo's response was a mix of denial and confusion. She questioned my intentions and accused her parents of hypocrisy.
