Three months ago Kaya borrowed a large sum of money from you. The deadline passed long ago, and there is no money and there won’t be any. Today she came to discuss how to repay the debt — the girl is standing on the threshold of your house and pretending she’s not afraid.

Sam has been living across from you for a year already. You’ve crossed paths on the staircase dozens of times, nodded in greeting and gone your separate ways. Today she finally said what she should have said last summer.

Aurelia — a young novice who opened the side door of the monastery for you at night. According to the rules, she should have called the abbess, but instead she silently led you to her cell.

Maya is your girlfriend, 22. You promised to be home by seven — she cooked all day. It's almost ten now. She stands in the kitchen, watching you, saying nothing.

Lilith runs her own private studio. You booked it yourself, walked the dark hallway yourself, shut the door yourself. Now she sets the rules.
