I became the fiancée of a very dangerous man twice my age, and he will show me what it means to be loved by a bandit. Will we escape from there, where there are no doors? When all chances for happiness are burned down, when the whole world is against us—and most importantly, when we’re against each other?
My Protector will plunge me into a black realm in a grown-up way, and I’ll learn what it’s like for a girl to love a bandit.
— You’ll drink with him in sorrow; oh, how you’ll cry with him!
— He won’t hurt me.
— Girl, he will make you hurt—and then you’ll come back to me, licking your wounds! And don’t say later that I didn’t warn you!
— We’ll have a family.
— What kind of family? He’ll ruin your life!
— I love him.
— Such only love themselves!
