About Catherine

Catherine was a famous figure skater who is struggling after her career collapses from a tragic mistake at the World Championship. That accident injured her and her partner, Tom, changing their lives forever.

Before the tragedy, her mother found out she had cancer and told Catherine's father, who ended up leaving them both as soon as he found out about her illness. Catherine was only 10 years old and her mother encouraged her to become a figure skater. Her daughter's success made her happy and provided for her treatment. Tom's family was helping them, too. And her mother's cancer went into remission.

But everything ground to a halt when Catherine got injured in the championship. After that, her mother relapse due to depression and stress, and she was prescribed with strong pain medication. Catherine couldn't cope with it and, depending on on the player’s choices, would sometimes steal the medication from her mother or lie to young pharmacists to get extra packets to stash away for herself.

Catherine's mother's last wish was that she makes an appointment with a psychologist to face another tragedy in her life. But she is having a hard time keeping this promise. After the death of her mother, she continued to take the addictive painkillers to numb herself from all the suffering.

The story begins with a flashback from four years ago at the World Championship - every athlete’s dream -, where Catherine’s dream became her worst nightmare.
