Acedia: silence of the Universe

"In the city "N" the murder took place."
Thousands of stories began in this way: there is a villain who has committed a crime and a detective hero who must catch him.
We know that in life everything is not so simple.
A "villain" may be a victim of circumstances. A detective may not be a hero. Blood can be not only red. We can be alone in the Universe, or rather, we are alone in two Universes at once.
One thing can be said with certainty: even the most powerful of us are suffering from insomnia.
So...
In the city "N" the murder took place ...
