Pada malam sebelum pernikahan, tunanganku, Gavin, seorang profesor sejarah, mengadakan pernikahan dengan cinta pertamanya yang mengidap kanker di sebuah desa. Di bawah langit berbintang, Gavin merangkul June dan tersenyum lembut. "Menurut adat kuno, istri yang sah adalah yang lebih dulu melangsungkan upacara pernikahan. Meskipun aku sudah mengambil akta nikah dengan Mayra, dia tetap hanya selir rendahan." Setelah menerima ucapan selamat dari para tamu, mereka meminum anggur pernikahan dan memasuki kamar pengantin. Aku menyaksikan semuanya tanpa menangis atau membuat keributan, hanya diam-diam membuat janji untuk operasi aborsi. Sejak usia 15 hingga 30 tahun, aku mencintai Gavin dengan sepenuh hati. Aku mencintainya selama 15 tahun. Namun, di hatinya selalu hanya ada adik tiriku, June. Jika memang begitu, aku memilih untuk melepaskannya. Kemudian, aku bergabung dengan tim penelitian geologi Antartika yang terisolasi dari dunia. Aku hanya meninggalkan selembar surat perjanjian cerai untuk Gavin, juga sebuah hadiah perpisahan. Namun, entah kenapa, pria yang selalu meremehkanku itu tiba-tiba beruban dalam semalam.

After my parents died, the family went bankrupt, leaving my brother and me with a large sum of debt. To pay it off, he became a haunted-house test sleeper, while I acted as a corpse on film sets. For five years, we worked tirelessly, not daring to rest a single day—and still, the debt wasn't cleared. By the end of the year, only 13 thousand dollars remained. Gritting my teeth, I signed up as a clinical trial volunteer. When it was over, I dragged 13 thousand dollars in cash, brimming with joy, to show my brother. But I found him frowning, on the phone. "Dad, Mom, Lily's doing well. Have fun abroad," he said. "She's stopped spending recklessly. The punishment ends next year." What? Our parents weren't dead? Our family wasn't bankrupt? The five years of hardship, every ounce of struggle—I'd endured it all as punishment for my love of spending. My smile froze on my face. My stomach churned violently. A mouthful of fresh blood spilled out.
