Edited:

The day before yesterday I watched a movie called “Split”. The main character is a man who was abused when he was young . The movie doesn’t show by whom, but there is a scene in which a woman shouted at him and asked him to come out from under the table. As he got older he developed twenty three different personalities, kidnapped three girls and kept them at his place, where he used different personalities to speak to them. The girls tried to escape but always failed. One day he developed a 24th personality, which was just like a monster. He was like an animal with strong muscles, and not even a knife could hurt him. He even bit two of the girls, which led to their death. The third girl found out that if she called out his name, his original personality would come out for a while. Soon, though, he went back to his monstrous personality again and when she tried to escape by locking herself in a cage with a gun, he tried to pull out the iron bars. When he got close to her, he found some scars on her body,  which showed that she had also been abused. Then he said ” you are a different person because you got hurt” and  just ran away.
