The sound of rain pouring down, followed by the sound of thunder. He opens his pale eyes, exhausted from staying up all those nights, reading the Phantom Killer files over and over again...
He feels a heavy weight in his head...
He tries to remember why he is lying on the ground...
The pain keeps growing sharper with time. He tries to turn, hoping to see more clearly. He sluggishly shifts his body to the other side and suddenly... a pool of blood... now he remembers what happened.
"Mom?..."
No reply...
He repeats,
"Mom?!!"
With difficulty, he stands and walks, trying to reach the basement while leaning against the wall. His black outfit is stained with blood, and the bruise on his head overshadows his features, drawing more attention than anything else. His gun was left on the ground, forgotten. He reached the basement, and just as he expected, his legs could no longer carry him. In front of him lay her full corpse. The last of his family was gone...
4 a.m. in a modern apartment designed mostly in silver tones.
(The sound of a news broadcast in the background)
Anchorwoman: "A horrific crime shook the suburbs of Stocknam. This is so far the twenty-fifth crime committed by the criminal known as the Phantom Killer, whose identity remains unknown to security forces. Residents are urged to—" (The TV is turned off).
A young man with Asian features appears, with brown hair and black eyes. He was the one who turned off the TV.
"You're destroying yourself. This is the twenty-fifth time you've repeated the same program. There's no time for such indulgence now. We need to start the investigation."
Rafael raised his head toward him, the bruise still visible on the side of his forehead, and replied gloomily:
"You’re the one destroying me with your nagging, Luminas. Do you think I’m in the mood to start your stupid investigations? I’ll find him without your help—"
Luminas cut him off by throwing the nearest pillow at him and said sharply:
"Spare me your voice and go wash your face!! You look like a zombie!! I’m not your father to scold you for something like this!! Your depression won’t bring your mother back to life!!" 💢💢
"I’m serious about investigating this alone!!"
"I told you I won’t allow it, and your request is denied! Now wash your face and let’s get going, and I won’t repeat myself!!"
He left after slamming the door shut. Rafael took a deep breath followed by a strong exhale, then headed to the bathroom to wash his face. He put on his official uniform, holstered his gun, and took his badge, which clearly read S.P.S.O — short for Secret Public Security Office — and left the room. Luminas followed him as they both headed toward the headquarters.
