Ray & Maren
#ray #maren
Origin
Relationship began when Maren was still a teenager; the scandal defined Ray forever.
Breadcrumbs
Bedside notes; town whispers; fragments of her in the montage.
Pivot Scene
Late in the story, Maren reappears — intact, not ruined — undermining Ray’s belief that he destroyed her.
Arc
A bitter, uneasy love arc. His life is defined by shame; hers by resilience. Not redemptive, not catastrophic — jagged, ambiguous, deeply Hollow.
