CH : Obsession Grows
---
Panel 1
Scene: Rena at home, walls filled with photos of Joile secretly taken (from a distance, security cams, newspaper clippings).
Rena (inner voice):
Every smile she gives...
I keep it.
Every word she says...
I write it.
---
Panel 2
Scene: Rena holding a notebook titled "Joile's Favorite Things" with hearts on the cover.
Rena (writing):
Coffee at 9:12 AM.
Likes dogs more than cats.
Wears her hair up when serious...
---
Panel 3
Scene: Joile in the police station, talking to another woman and laughing.
Rena watches from a slightly open door, face shadowed and expression tight.
Rena (inner voice):
Who is she?
Why is she laughing like that?
With her?

Panel 4
Scene: Rena gripping her pen tightly enough to snap it. Blood trickles from her hand.
SFX: Snap!
Rena (inner voice):
I should kill her.
No... not yet.
---
Panel 5
Scene: Rena with a creepy smile, bandaging her hand casually while looking at Joile's picture.
Rena:
Soon, Joile...
You'll only need me.
---
Panel 6
Scene: Rena in the police station again, fake-crying in front of Joile.
Rena (pretending to sob):
My bracelet was stolen this time… it was... sentimental.
Joile (concerned):
Again? You really should be careful, Rena...
---
Panel 7
Scene: Rena perks up at how Joile says her name, like a puppy getting a treat.
Rena (blushing, inner voice): he remembers my name.
He cares.
---
Panel 8
Scene: Rena walks away from the station at night, her reflection in a puddle is twisted—half her face with a rabbit mask.
Rena (inner voice):
One day...
He 'll love me back.
Even if I have to tear the world apart.
