The world whispered of its secrets, dark and heavy, like smoke curling through the cracks of forgotten buildings. Truth, once so clear and certain, had become nothing more than a ghost-drifting in the shadows, elusive, slipping away just as you thought you had it.
Beneath the surface of this quiet city, corruption ran deep, woven into the very fabric of those who called it home. They hid behind facades of innocence, their smiles masks for the lies they told. For years, they believed their truths were untouchable, but nothing escapes the flame forever.
In a world where the truth burns, one soul would soon find themselves not only searching for answers-but for redemption, and a truth buried deeper than even they could have imagined.
