Frozen Justice for My Abuser

Michael respawns at the moment before he and Arthur Pendleton leave their apartment building into a winter storm. In his previous life, he walked ahead through the deep snow, Arthur followed in his footprints, slipped, and sued him for fifty thousand dollars. When Michael refused to pay, Arthur harassed him until he lost his job, then drove his parents from their hometown. It ended with Arthur shoving him into an open excavation trench, where he froze to death.

This time, Michael refuses to step outside. Arthur hammers on his door, wheedling and guilt-tripping, and Michael realizes Arthur overheard a call about his fifty-thousand-dollar year-end bonus. Arthur targeted him for the money.

Michael agrees to lead the way, then bolts the moment they pass the security camera, leaving Arthur to fall alone. Arthur's greed is bottomless, though, and Michael knows he will not let it go. He rents a furnished apartment under a different address and prepares for what comes next.
