Is That an Order?

She gripped him by the throat and declared, as firmly as if issuing an order, “I want us to fall in love!”

After that, she did everything she could to dig pits for him, then waited at the bottom for him to fall in.

He tried every way he could to avoid them, but there were just too many pits. Before long, he fell into one.

Standing outside the door, her eyes slightly red, she looked at him and spoke in a cold, resolute voice, as if giving herself an order: “I'm leaving. Goodbye!”

After that, she climbed out of the pit she had dug herself and disappeared without a trace.

But he couldn't climb out, no matter how hard he tried. All he could do was stay at the bottom and wait for her to save him.
