Krist tried to collect every information he could get from anyone and anywhere about the fire accident, he decided to look for the culprit who he suspect intentionally caused the fire accident in the gallery on January 16th, 1989. He turns on his notebook and starts his investigation from there. He search for the biography of the survivor of the fire accident, then he tried to contact every one of them, but most of all had moved to another place and didn't leave any information. Luckily he found one of the female survivors who still live in town, so he doesn't wait any longer to visit her. He was greeted by a middle-aged woman who also had some scarred burns on her face and neck.

"Are you Mrs. Thidarat Pern Angsakul?" Krist asked a woman who seems live alone in the house.

"My name is Perawat Sangpotirat, nice to meet you."

"So tell me what you want to know?" she asked calmly.

"What do you remember about the fire accident at the music gallery in 1989?"

"Not much, I was terrified and have had a nightmare since that doomsday. I lost my precious youth because of that, I lost my job and my fiancé left me, I spent all my money to get plastic surgery to recover my face but the result wasn't so good."

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"It's alright, 'cause it doesn't matter anymore. They said tragedy makes you stronger, and I survived it, I mean...from the trauma, that the hardest. I heard that some survivors killed themselves not long after the incident."

"Did you know someone had intentionally blocked the way out from the room during the fire? Do you suspect anyone?"

"Yes, I heard about that. Someone want to kill all of us, but I do not know who was that and why?"

"And do you know who opened the door for you guys afterward?"

"She was stunned for a moment and tried to recall her memory. "The whole room was covered in smoke, we barely couldn't breathe or open our eyes to see what is going on, but I could vaguely see, there was a man."

"How was his look? Do you know him?"

"No, I don't know. I was in a panic at the time, but I saw him run to help someone."

"How you to get out?"

"There is someone near me who helped me to get up, a man that help me survive from the trauma every time I'm about to give up. I remember how he sacrifices himself to save me, that's why I continue to live to repay him."

"You know him?

"Yes, his name is Kongpop Suthiluck, the new composer in the pub. We knew each other a few days before the accident, he came from Ubon Ratchatani."

Krist's eyes open wide, and he's completely confused about what's happened. How is there a rumor that says that Nam married Kongpop Suthiluck and moved to Bangkok since he died in the accident? In addition, there is no name Kongpop Suthiluck reported in the list of victims.

"So you said, this Kongpop Suthiluck has died in the accident when tried to save you? How can that be possible?"

"He insisted to go back to pick up his precious thing that dropped behind and...never came out anymore, and his body was never been found till now."

"Do you know the rumors that said, Kongpop Suthiluck married a singer Nam Worranit Thawornwongs and moved to Bangkok?"

"Of course I do, but I didn't believe that. Cause I saw it with my own eyes, he fall back into the fire and disappeared. Do you know how a story was made? Only a few people who know the truth."
