She wakes up and finds herself completely alone, lost in a bright red room. It is threatening and empty; already she feels dirty. She has no control over herself, her own body, of what makes her a woman. She is a virgin, bounded by what surrounds her.

 

Suddenly a black cherry appears, sits on her hand. She is shocked by it but as she fondles it, it provides her with a sense of tremendous pleasure. Something she has never tasted before, and so she takes the chance and explore further. After all, it is her cherry, and she is entitled to it. She could never imagine where it’ll take her, but for the first time she understands herself. She feels complete.
