The town of **Rosewater** had always been quiet. Nestled between the mountains and dense forests, it was the kind of place where people kept to themselves. But beneath the surface, something dark was brewing.
**Alex**, a sharp and capable detective in his mid-twenties, had been working tirelessly in the Rosewater Police Department.

She had been abused by her stepfather for years, leaving her emotionally scarred but also deeply empathetic.

Their relationship was strained, but nothing seemed to explain the horrific end she met.
Emilya was found murdered in a grotesque manner, her body arranged as if part of some twisted ritual. This was not just a killing—it was a message. But from who?

Love you all!
