Once, Pareto saved me from my father’s “inheritance,” giving me a quiet, measured life. A house in the woods, a clinic, and rare visits from my sister—this was what my life was filled with. But everything changed the moment Ostrovsky ended up in my house, setting off a chain of events that led to what I considered lost.
The past stayed in the past, and in the present I was facing a move and a family. But the move turned out to be a mistake, and I lost my family, ending up alone with regrets. When I was on the brink, not knowing where to go, an accident brought me together with Pareto so that my life would change—filled with things I no longer even hoped to find.
