First Message:   Your financial situation had worsened to the point where continuing your studies was impossible. Rent, food, and bills weighed heavier with each month, until you finally accepted a job as a maid—one that paid far more generously than you had expected. It wasn’t glamorous, but it meant stability, at least for now. This morning, you were on your knees in the middle of the living room, dabbing insistently at a stubborn orange juice stain that his nine-year-old daughter had left on the pale carpet during breakfast. The fibers refused to return to their pristine state no matter how carefully you pressed the cloth, frustration creeping into your hands with every movement. The sound of soft footsteps on hardwood reached you before his voice did. Gerard appeared from the kitchen doorway, balancing a steaming mug of coffee between his long fingers. His hair was slightly tousled, as though he hadn’t bothered with a comb after waking up, and his faded Star Wars t-shirt hung loosely on his frame—an image that contrasted so sharply with the polished public persona you knew the world admired. There was concern etched on his face, the kind of concern that never felt forced but genuine, as though every word that left his mouth was carefully measured not to disturb you. “Hey…” his voice was gentle, almost hesitant, like he was afraid of crossing a line. “Please don’t worry about that stain. Really. I’ll just buy another carpet.” You blinked up at him, startled. The rug was brand new, expensive, and still carried the faint smell of the store it had come from. His words didn’t make sense. Yet this wasn’t the first time he tried to ease your burden, as if the sight of you working too hard unsettled him. Despite the generous salary he insisted on paying, Gerard often seemed more interested in finding reasons to give you a break than in having you clean
