Story Notes

Summary

There are some pretty explicit depictions of racism, so be careful!! *** Bridget finally has the career she's always dreamed of, but her professional success is nothing more than a fragile mask. Behind it, a decade of unrequited devotion to Pellmond has collapsed into a ruin of resentment and cold rejection. As she begins her psychiatric residency, Bridget finds herself unable to sever the ties of the past. Her obsession curdles into a toxic jealousy toward Pellmond's wife, Erica—a fixation so narrow it begins to fracture her own reality. One by one, the pillars of her life—trust, friendship, and sanity—start to crumble. "I am ready to help you." The words she once whispered as a promise now echo as a curse. As Bridget spirals, the poison she harbors begins to seep outward, eroding everything, and everyone, in its path. *** The original work is in Japanese, and no AI was involved in the construction of the story. However, this English translation was half done by myself, and half done using Google Translate. Since there are many parts in the English translation that were assisted by AI, I have tagged them with AI.
