What is my story?
Having lost his job, a husband decides to move to a far away house. The wife has no choice but to follow him, she isn't asked, and she doesn't resist it either. She is raised to be a dutiful housewife but finds herself trapped in a marriage that does not let her flourish. After moving numerous houses she finds herself at her breaking point. She finds herself on the edge of breaking free and this is her story of how she took the first step.

The house stands isolated from civilisation right before a magical forest. She spends her first night alone and frightened, contemplating the nightmare she is stuck in. Her first day alone goes by in self pity and depression. Later in the evening, after a full day of agonisingly looking outside the window for an escape she is presented with an opportunity
