How far would you go to protect those you love? Would you brave raging oceans and treacherous mountain paths, hunt down the fiercest predators, and confront the most formidable enemies? Would you dare to face death itself, knowing that your own life hangs by a thread? Would you kill? One chilling evening transformed my fate. As I stared down the barrel of a gun, the life I'd fought so hard to build for my little brother-who'd already suffered more loss than any soul should-flashed before my eyes. Miraculously, I was spared by a man enshrouded in darkness and mystery, leaving me alive but ensnared in a web of questions. Why did he let me go? The relentless pursuit of truth drags me deeper into the heart of our town's hidden sins, where every shadow conceals a secret, and every smile masks a lie. My quest for answers beckons me into the arms of three enigmatic strangers, each promising protection and tempting me with whispers of dark, forbidden romance. Yet, as I stand at the crossroads between the safety of ignorance and the perilous allure of the unknown, I fear the unraveling of my sanity amidst the encroaching madness. In a town where danger lurks at every turn and trust is a commodity as rare as truth, the ultimate challenge lies in making a choice. Do I remain cloaked in the comforting shroud of naivety, or do I plunge into the abyss with allies as mysterious as the town itself? As the lines between ally and enemy blur, I must decide who I can trust with my heart-and whether the price of love is a risk worth taking.
