Morning arrived, casting its pale light upon Victor as he made his way to the office. He worked there tirelessly, letting the work drain him completely. Since his sister's death, he found refuge in his job, feeling there was nothing waiting for him at home.
The sun cast long shadows across the city streets as Victor stepped out of his office, his mind still heavy with the weight of grief. Despite the passage of time, the loss of his sister lingered like a shadow, a constant reminder of the void left in his heart.
As he walked, Victor found himself retracing familiar paths, the echoes of past conversations and shared moments haunting his every step. Each street corner held a memory, each passing face a fleeting reminder of the life he had lost.
Lost in thought, Victor barely noticed the figure waiting for him at the corner of the street. It was Han, his expression grave and troubled. "Victor," he said, his voice tinged with concern, "there's something you need to see."
Curiosity piqued, Victor followed Han as they navigated the bustling city streets, their footsteps echoing against the pavement. They arrived at a nondescript alleyway, where Han came to a sudden stop, his gaze fixed on something lying in the shadows.
Victor's heart skipped a beat as he recognized the object before him: a tattered photograph, its edges worn with age. He picked it up with trembling hands, his breath catching in his throat as he studied the faces staring back at him.
It was a picture of his sister, her smile radiant and carefree, captured in a moment of pure happiness. Beside her stood a man, his features obscured by the passage of time, his presence a haunting mystery.
Han's voice broke the silence, his tone somber. "I found this tucked away in the archives," he explained, "it's from an old case file, dated months before your sister's accident."
Victor's mind raced with questions, his thoughts swirling like a tempest in the darkness. Who was the man in the photograph, and what connection did he have to his sister? Was there more to her death than met the eye?
With each passing moment, the shadows of doubt grew deeper, casting a pall over Victor's fragile sense of closure. As he stared at the photograph in his hands, he knew that unraveling the truth would lead him down a path fraught with danger and deception.
But for the memory of his sister, he was willing to brave the shadows and confront the secrets that lay hidden in the darkness.
