Part 2/9:
The narrative begins with a 40-year-old man, looking back on his marriage of 10 years. He reflects on the life they built together—steady and reliable, marked by the familiarity of routine and comfort. Yet, as it often happens, his wife decided she wanted more. With a familiar and disheartening phrase, she expressed a desire to "find herself," a euphemism that many will recognize as code for a yearning to escape their reality and explore uncharted territory.
