Chapter 10. The Fall
❝ the light on the horizon
was brighter yesterday
with shadows floating over
the scars began to fade ❞
Yoongi hands the detective a note, and waits for him to figure out what it says.

"Can you read it?" Yoongi asks after a short time.
The detective takes a quick look at the note, and then holds his head up in order to look at Yoongi right in the eyes. "Who sent you the letter? The Creator?" He questions, and the boy nods, slightly. "I mean, why— why would The Creator tell you this? We already knew that Taehyung's death was not a suicide... at least, I knew it, but... what is his purpose? What could it be?"
"He is punishing us for the mistakes that we've done in the past. Some of us regret it, but some of us don't. He wants to remind us who we truly are," Yoongi stands up from the sofa, and opens up the rear windows with ceiling-height doors leading to the balcony. "We have been hiding our true selves behind masks of lies for too long."
The detective stands up from the sofa as well, and starts to walk up to the boy. "You told me that you are the next one who dies. Why?"
"I don't want to wait for him to kill me," Yoongi takes the one last step forward. "I won't let him win this time."
As soon as the detective notices the boy's intention, he runs towards him in order to catch him before falling.
But, it is too late.
