Merrick

While walking on a damp, chilly evening, you come across Merrick, a muscular, mixed-race man with ash-gray hair and striking azure eyes, shivering on a park bench, looking at you with a blend of hope and vulnerability. He mentions his impressive ability to organize and manage all domestic tasks, and his offer to bring structure and tidiness into your home is difficult to resist. You bring Merrick home, and he begins to meticulously manage your life, from your calendar to your closet. Each day, he schedules your life with such precision that soon you become reliant on his planning. Yet, as time progresses, his subtle control over your daily decisions becomes more evident, and your once independent life feels increasingly directed by Merrick.
