[This is a fictional story.]

[Year 253, Neo-Civilization.]

[Some of the population was found to be born with genetic mutations.]

[As a result, genetic criminals become a unique nuisance in this civilization]

[and the hot topics of society.]

(Today is)

(January 13th of Year 253.)

[Xinzhou Press Conference] (More and more supporters)

(of the Genetic Screening Bill)

(flooded the street.)

(First proposed two years ago)

(by the Xinzhou government, the Genetic Screening Bill)

(aims to vet)

(the individuals who carry mutated DNA sequences due to radiation exposure)

(to combat the sky-high crime rate.)

(Because of a particular astronomical phenomenon,)

(we discover)

(that 1.3 percent of the current population)

(suffer from a mutated DNA sequence.)

(And due to this mutation,)

(they are incapable of empathy.)

(Scientists call them "Apaths".)

(This Neo-Civilization)

(is a cursed civilization.)

(Those people are natural-born criminals)

(and serial killers.)

(As the biggest free economic zone in Xinnanzhou,)

(Xinzhou's autonomous governance)

(and lenient immigration policy)

(have made it into)

(a hotbed of crime for Apath criminals.)

(It is still unknown)

(whether the Genetic Screening Bill will decrease)

(the crime rate.)

(However, just like the precedent civilization)

(showed us,)

(when all hopes turned into despair,)

(people would still find a spark)

(amidst the darkness.)

[Justice in the Dark]

The Apaths.

You're interested in them?

They are interesting.

Don't you think?

A disastrous gamma-ray burst

created this 1.3 percent.

They were given another DNA sequence,

which renders them incapable

of empathizing.

Maybe they cannot feel emotions.

Maybe

they can't share their emotions.

Either way,

they are genetically coded

as criminals.

You think

the genes dictate them?

Do they not?

I believe everyone

has free will.

You disagree with me?

Sorry, Miss Bai.

You sounded

like an old friend of mine back there.

What happened

between you two then?

Humans are like this, are we not?

Tolerance

and trust. We keep those virtues

for our kind.

It's not entirely his fault.

After all, who would place his trust

on a heretic?

Heretic?

That's how you view them?

I have always wondered

how ordinary people view them.

With their gift,

are they serial killers

or

monsters?

[Pei Su, Pei Group]

Time's up.

Thanks, Miss Bai.

I have learned many things.

Pei Su.

Indulge my curiosity.

How do you view yourself?

You worry needlessly, Miss Bai.

They are my future research subjects.

And I

am just

an ordinary wealthy person.

[Welcome to Xinzhou, the biggest free economic zone in Xinnanzhou]

[11 autonomous administrative districts with a very generous immigration policy]

[Show love to the Apaths beside you]

[Don't let them become future serial killers] (Representatives from all 11 districts)

(have cast their votes for the Genetic Screening Bill.)

(17 for the bill)

(and 24 against.)

(Xiaxi citizens are protesting.)

(Plagued with the highest crime rate...)

(It is now)

(8:14 PM.)

(I will continue to recite)

(the literary masterpieces)

(passed down from the previous civilization.)

(The wheel of civilization continues to turn)

(but we still seek enlightenment.)

(The one suggesting this literary work is)

(Janitor.)

(Stay tuned.)

[A user that you followed, Janitor, updated his feed: Truth. The painful truth.]

(A path)

(doesn't lose its charm because of the thorns)

(that grow by the side.)

(A traveler will march forward)

(and let those bothersome thorns)

(wilt naturally.)

(Stay true to your perfect principles.)

(That is the only way)

(I can see you.)

[He Zongyi]

(If you cling onto the axiom)

(with an invincible force,)

(your enemies)

(will surrender eventually.)

(The scent of the novelty is too thick.)

(Their weak minds cannot stand it.)

(They need time to dilute it.)

(The value of an art piece is only recognized)

(when it has gathered dust.)

(You were listening to)

(Broadcasted by Janitor.)

(Thank you for your time.)

[Narcissism, Chapter 1]

[Episode 1]

[Xindong, Xinzhou]

[Special Investigation Department] (Another body)

(was found this morning in Xiaxi.)

(It is now the fourth homicide)

(this month within the region.)

[Xinzhou Press Conference] (Xinzhou government spokesperson)

(is here to answer)

(our biggest concerns.)

(Xiaxi is the land of crimes.)

[Zhang Zhaojin] (Is the autonomous governance)

[Chief of Special Investigation Department] (to be blamed for the current unrest?)

We gave autonomy

to each district in Xinzhou

because the six of them have

vastly different cultures.

Xindong is Xinzhou's commercial and cultural hub

while Nanwan is the district in which immigrants first arrive.

Culturally and linguistically,

each district

has its own unique features.

Lumping them together

might impede their development and their vitality.

We will not meddle

in each district's public security measures,

as enforced by their own Patrol Detachment.

But it's precisely this laissez-faire system

that brings about this sky-high crime rate.

That's why the International Federation of Supervision

set up a Special Investigation Department in Xinzhou to help solve the problem.

Regarding the declining public support

toward the Patrol Detachment

and the increasing support the Special Investigation Department

garners as they become the next beacon of hope,

what do you have to say about it?

Do you have any comments

regarding the crimes perpetrated by Apaths?

Please answer us.

Reply, please.

Further investigation is pending to determine

if Apaths are the perpetrators.

The Special Investigation Department will only accept cases

if they fall under

their job scope.

Apart from missing children

or private commissions,

the Special Investigation Department only handles

cross-district or major crimes.

Hello?

Luo Weizhao?

Chief Zhang.

This is Tao Ze speaking. How can I help?

[Tao Ze] Ask him to come to me.

[Vice Captain of the 6th Brigade, Special Investigation Department]

Captain Luo

hasn't arrived yet.

That moron.

Does he know who he's working for?

All he does is staking out.

I will ask him to come to you right away.

Help!

Robber!

-Give it to me. -Help!

-Help! -Shut up!

Robber!

Do you have a death wish?

Help!

-Somebody, help! -Stop yelling!

I told you to stop yelling!

-Stop! -Help!

Shut up!

According to Article No. 4, Clause No. 16,

Subclause No. 28 of SID Operation Protocol,

applicable to all districts in Xinzhou,

anyone found

seizing someone's property by means of violence

or illegal coercion

will be arrested

before being transferred to the Patrol Detachment.

What are you doing, kid?

Mind your own business now.

[Luo Weizhao, Captain of the 6th Brigade, Special Investigation Department]

Smug, aren't you?

You jerk.

This is abuse.

Stop. I can't.

There's nothing serious lately.

Right?

I'm sorry.

Here. Attempted robbery.

I arrested him. You can handle him now.

Who are you?

A kind citizen.

Bring him away.

Hello?

-Let's go. -Captain Luo.

We are needed for the Xiaxi homicide case.

Noted.

Wait for me by the entrance of SID. I'm on my way.

[Xiaxi, Xinzhou]

Do you know the victim's ID?

[Lan Qiao, Officer of the 6th Brigade, SID] According to the Xiaxi Patrol Detachment,

the victim is He Zongyi.

Male. 18 years old.

He came from Ex-Island to look for a job in Xinzhou.

He was a deliveryman.

We are still determining his cause of death.

His time of death is presumed to be

around 8 to 11 PM yesterday.

His body was found

in the alley

behind the community apartment that the victim rented.

It was easy to identify the victim.

Have you heard? Four homicides already.

Even the SID is here now.

It's not like they can stick their nose in here.

Who cares about the SID anyway?

Where does the serial killer rumor online

come from?

Apparently, the victim was robbed of

all his valuables on him.

His phone is gone

and his wallet was emptied and discarded to the side.

The one who filed the report

said the victim's face was covered by a sheet of paper.

And there was a strip of sellotape

stuck on his hair.

And it says one hundred thousand on it.

One hundred thousand? As in money?

Do you have the photo?

Yes.

That paper note

doesn't look like it fell on him by accident.

It looks like the perpetrator purposely taped it on him.

[One hundred thousand]

Sir, this is Xiaxi district's case.

We weren't called in for this.

Will they let us in?

Just watch me.

Excuse me.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Make way, please.

(He came from that side)

and left from there.

Look. Here.

We'll do as you say then.

Okay.

Don't worry.

Deputy Director Cui!

[Cui Hongliang, Deputy Director of Xiaxi District Ministry of Administration]

Captain Luo.

You are here to...

What is this smell?

It stinks.

Pungent too.

Why are you here?

It's just a small crime in a shabby area.

Why did you come here in person?

I have to.

Crime scenes

might bring bad luck.

Don't you think?

And this place

is dark and dank.

No one wants to stay here at all.

Indeed.

Usually, I don't need to be present.

But the Ministry of Supervision called me

and said that they'll send someone here.

I guess you guys are not happy

with our security measures here.

So I came in person.

No way.

We? Not happy? Impossible.

Come. A cig to brighten your mood.

Chief Zhang told me

about the online rumors

regarding an Apath criminal on the run.

We came here

because of public pressure.

I'm sure you know

how touchy of a subject

Apath criminal is in Xinzhou.

However,

is it really a genetic crime

just because some people said so online?

I don't think so.

I agree.

An Apath criminal on the run?

They made it all up online.

The way I see it,

it's committed by someone he knows.

I'm sure of it.

Just look around.

A complex layout.

If an outsider comes in here,

he'll have a hard time finding his bearings.

Exactly.

We were lost too.

Right?

-Yes. -Yes.

-Yes. -That's right.

Deputy Director Cui.

Look.

This place has all sorts of people.

We don't want to be here at all

but we are forced to.

Now that you know about our situation too.

Can you let us in?

Please?

Fine. Come in.

Thank you.

Go.

They are my colleagues.

It'll be fine.

Sure. I guess you can have a look around.

Yeah. They'll just have a browse.

It's not like there's anything to see anyway.

I know

why you guys are here.

It's because of the three previous cases.

But tell me,

does this case look like it has anything

to do with those cases?

What are the previous cases about? Drug overdose.

But this one? Strangulation.

It's definitely a separate case.

God knows why they sent you here.

Yeah.

I agree with you.

Stop taking photos.

Deputy Director Cui.

That guy

you spoke to just now.

He looks familiar.

Oh, that guy.

He's... What's his name?

The owner of Hongfu Real Estate,

Jin Zaihong.

We came from the same hometown.

[Jin Zaihong] He's just an acquaintance.

[Chairman of Hongfu Real Estate]

We have checked

the victim's background.

He wasn't a local.

He got into some kind of trouble

and got killed.

How complicated can it be?

I bet it's just a simple robbery.

Since he's not a local in Xinzhou anyway,

it's not worth the hassle.

Come.

Take the body away.

Wait.

What's the matter?

Is there a problem?

No. Just a work habit.

I always take a second look at the body.

Deputy Director Cui, do we have the cause of death?

As you know, SID has tons of rules.

I have to submit a report.

I count on you, Deputy Director Cui.

If the report is not approved,

we'll have to come here again.

What's his face? Xiao Hanyang.

[Xiao Hanyang, Officer of Xiaxi District Patrol Detachment]

Yes, sir.

Come.

Brief the officers

from SID.

Sir.

Based on the crime scene,

we found no bruises indicating that the victim struggled to break free.

But the back of his head was hit by a blunt weapon

and was bleeding.

Clear strangulation marks were found on his neck

and his valuable belongings were all looted.

That's why netizens said that it was committed

by the robbers who'd strangulated their victims.

Have you determined the cause of death?

The preliminary evaluation

is that the victim was knocked unconscious from behind

before being strangled to death

by a soft and thin rope.

The victim was killed when he was unconscious.

That's why there is no sign of a struggle.

The rope used to strangle the victim

and the blunt weapon used

have not been identified.

There is no clear evidence

showing that this is the crime scene.

That's all, sir.

How dare you utter all that nonsense before obtaining solid evidence?

Preliminary evaluation?

You haven't even talked to me

and you already got your preliminary evaluation?

If this is not the crime scene,

where is the crime scene then?

Is this the place where the culprit discarded the body?

Why discard the body here then?

What's the advantage? Tell me.

I just think that...

Think what?

That this possibility exists.

What possibility?

Deputy Director Cui.

He's just a rookie in this new job.

It's normal that he's more motivated.

Don't mind him.

Oh.

For the report I have to submit,

I need a testimony.

I heard the victim stayed nearby.

It's all community apartments here.

Does he have any roommates?

-SID is so nosy. -He does.

His roommate is Miao Xiaowei.

A NEET.

When we were there,

he was seen arguing with someone else.

We have brought him back for further questioning.

Excuse me.

Sir, netizens say that this is committed by an Apath.

Is it true?

Xiaxi citizens are very supportive

of the Genetic Screening Bill.

Do you think it has something to do

with the homicide here?

We are still investigating this homicide

and we cannot reveal further information.

Please leave.

More comments, please.

As I said, we are investigating the case.

Once we get to the bottom of it,

we will release a press statement.

All right now, please leave.

More comments, please.

What's the matter, Luo?

Tell us more.

Once the investigation has been concluded,

we will explain

everything, all right?

Just go back.

Nothing.

I might have mistaken someone.

Does the intervention of SID

mean that this case

is somehow related to those previous cases?

Let's go and have a look.

Say something, please.

Say something.

(Last night, a body was found)

(behind a community apartment.)

(Although the crime scene has been cordoned off)

(and the body is transported to the Patrol Detachment,)

(Deputy Director Cui of Xiaxi District has nonetheless)

(debunked the online claim that the crime)

(was perpetrated by an Apath)

(and insisted that it was committed by someone close to the victim)

(because the victim He lived)

(near the crime scene.)

It happened in Xiaxi District...

What a coincidence.

What's the matter?

Mr. Pei.

There was a homicide last night

and it is all the rage on the internet now.

Look. People are streaming it live.

Is that so?

Ask our staff members to be extra cautious.

Their lives

are more important than their work.

Mr. Pei.

The community housing area where the crime scene was

is the area Mr. Su

mentioned he wanted to develop several days ago.

That city transformation plan?

Yes.

[SID steps in to investigate the homicide in Xiaxi] A homicide took place

right after Mr. Su said he wanted to develop that area.

Mr. Su also said

that since it was close to Xindong,

it would be very lucrative

after some urban planning.

But now it just looks

like a place for anyone,

a place for those who just moved here.

Even if it holds high commercial value, developing it will be difficult.

Please make way. We...

-Sir, is this committed by an Apath? -What are you doing?

I don't know why

Mr. Su wanted the Pei Group

to develop it with Hongfu Real Estate.

Doesn't he know Hongfu Real Estate

has a bad press lately?

Mr. Pei?

Sorry. I can't attend the meeting at the office.

A friend of mine

got into trouble again.

I have to go see him.

Mister, make a U-turn now.

Mr. Tao, when that bespectacled man

said that the crime scene wasn't there,

why did Deputy Director Cui give such a huge reaction?

Probably because this place

is not what it seems.

I find his last question

particularly intriguing.

"Why discard the body here then?"

"What's the advantage?"

Why are you here?

I was nearby

and I want to have lunch

with Officer Tao here.

Mr. Tao, he's your friend?

You have no place in Xindong?

Why are you here?

On-site verification. Will you believe me?

There is a crime scene.

I agreed to develop this land

with Hongfu Real Estate.

I submitted all the documents

but it seems like I have crossed someone by doing so.

Some drug addicts died

and a body was discarded here.

I guess this area

is useless now.

Pei Su.

Why are you here?

Do you have anything to do with this case?

I'm just a kind citizen

who happened to see his friend

get into a row

with journalists on a live stream

so I came to give him a kind reminder.

A row?

Who's involved?

Tao Ze.

Hop in.

I have made a reservation

in a western restaurant nearby.

Did I say you can have your lunch break now?

You two.

Go back to SID with me.

I feel bad for the people

who work for a superior that's going through andropause.

You know what?

You and this pretty lady here

can take my car.

I'll give you a lift to SID.

You have worked very hard today

so you deserve a spacious car

with bigger legroom.

Is this not spacious enough for you?

Well then, Mr. Pei.

Don't ever sit in our prisoner transport trucks then.

You won't even be able to stretch your arms.

Thank you for the advice.

Work can wait

before an empty stomach.

Kind citizens like us don't need to eat at all.

The criminal is still at large.

How do we have the cheek to eat?

Enough.

Can you two stop?

Come, Big-Eyed Lan.

You can look at hotties all you want back home.

Don't waste our time here.

Hey, there.

Do you want to work for my company instead?

It'll be a waste if a beauty like you

has to stay in SID.

I'll give you five times your current salary.

All right.

Stop doing this.

Fine.

If you say so.

Tao Ze.

What are you waiting for?

Bye.

Who is that cute Mr. Pei?

He's following us?

He managed to catch up to us.

He can drive very well.

-Wang! -Captain Luo.

Didn't we agree to eat together last time?

But you are always busy.

I thought we shouldn't stop our car on this street?

That's right. I just asked that guy to leave.

There's another one back there.

Well, more work to do.

All right. I'll leave you to your work then.

Okay. Safe travels.

Hi.

You can't park your car here.

You'll be fined 300 yuan.

[Special Investigation Department]

Captain Luo.

Great timing.

A colleague from Xiaxi

[Wu Ning, Officer of the 6th Brigade, SID] just sent us Miao Xiaowei's testimony.

Did the officer with glasses who stood out

from the others send it to you?

Ignore her.

Continue.

Miao Xiaowei

should be the last person the victim came into contact with.

But he rambles a lot.

As if he's presenting a ghost story.

A ghost story?

[Miao Xiaowei]

Miao Xiaowei,

between 9 to 9:30 PM last night,

some residents

heard a quarrel

near the crime scene.

Did you hear anything?

It's a yes

or no question.

You don't need to think that long.

I might have overheard some of it.

My television was loud.

When?

9:15 PM.

You just said you overheard some of it.

Yet you remember the time that precisely?

Miao Xiaowei.

Do you know

you're the homicide's prime suspect?

No.

It wasn't me.

That accent sounded familiar.

It sounded like the local dialect from Zongyi's hometown.

So I thought to go down to take a look.

What did you see?

Did you see He Zongyi?

No...

Nothing.

I saw nothing.

No one was there.

Not even a ghost.

It's as if I hallucinated.

That's all I know,

sir.

I don't know anything else.

It wasn't me, sir.

It really wasn't me.

I don't think he did it.

He has a fragile mentality.

He won't be able

to handle all this if something did happen.

But saying it's haunted is odd, to say the least.

We still can't determine if this case

is just a separate case,

but Miao Xiaowei's testimony here

somehow confirms the speculation

that that area is not what it seems to be.

So like what Pei Su said?

Who is Pei Su?

We met...

Let's reorganize

all the clues.

[Unanswered Questions]

First, the crime scene.

[Xiaxi, crime scene or body-dumping scene?]

And the "one hundred thousand" note

taped to his forehead.

We still don't know what it means though.

It must be money.

This is He Zongyi's notebook.

He jotted down his daily transactions here.

Our colleague

from the Patrol Detachment

highlighted a spot here.

He got one hundred thousand yuan?

He was a deliveryman.

Where did he get that much money?

We don't know who gave him the money

but judging from the bookkeeping record,

after he got the money,

he had been settling his debt.

Could it be a loan?

He was working very hard to save money.

Perhaps he wanted to repay the loan as soon as possible.

So he could be meeting

with the creditor last night?

[A loan of one hundred thousand yuan?]

And another lead.

This new phone case.

We found it in the victim's apartment.

According to Miao Xiaowei,

He Zongyi has a uremic mother.

Her treatment costs a lot of money

so he lived a frugal life.

Logically speaking, he wouldn't buy

an expensive phone like this at all.

Contact that cop with glasses.

The person who gave He Zongyi this phone is crucial.

Ask him to investigate it further.

Yes, sir.

Other than the location of the crime scene and the motive,

you guys

forgot one thing.

Which is?

Miao Xiaowei claimed

that He Zongyi went back to get changed.

Isn't that normal?

Getting a change of clothes is normal.

But he didn't even

remove the tag.

I believe

that he didn't remove the tag

because this article of clothing

is way beyond his budget.

However, he needed it for certain occasions.

He planned to return it once he was done.

If the truth was like what Miao Xiaowei said,

the victim merely went to see a friend

from his hometown and they got into a quarrel,

did the victim

have to rent such an expensive suit?

I'm afraid only the victim has the answer.

The role of SID

is to speak up

for the silenced.

Don't utter useless statements

like that ever again.

Right. I'm sorry.

Our next step is ascertaining

the possibility that the crime was committed by an acquaintance.

Let's start by investigating the victim's social circle.

Tao Ze.

Head to Xiaxi tomorrow.

You will question Miao Xiaowei

and anyone related to He Zongyi

within the community housing area.

Noted.

Qiao.

You'll visit

the coffee shop to which He Zongyi often delivered the goods.

Check their security camera footage

and don't miss any details.

Noted.

Wu.

Trace back the phone

using the serial number

on the phone case.

I need the list of people the victim

contacted regularly.

Noted.

Lastly.

Even though this case is not under SID,

Cui Hongliang tried his hardest

to stop us from associating this case

with the three previous cases.

He doesn't want SID to intervene.

I'm sure you know

what this implies.

A precious life is lost.

Treat this case like it's one of ours.

That's all for today.

Keep everyone in the loop.

-Noted. -Okay.

Hello?

Captain Luo, is this person your friend?

I told him he couldn't park his car here and he would be fined 300 yuan.

And then?

He gave me 1,500 yuan,

saying that it was an upfront payment for future fines.

I'll teach him a lesson on your behalf.

He's getting bolder

and more disrespectful.

You aren't going to move your car?

Stop smiling.

Don't act cute in front of me.

So? Who's driving? You or me?

Hop in.

Honestly though,

you know what he's like.

Don't give him

the cocky attitude like a spoiled brat.

He was so grumpy just now.

That will be tricky.

After all, my existence

is the greatest offense

to self-righteous individuals

like Captain Luo.

Pei Su.

Fine.

I'll just avoid

Captain Luo who's going through andropause.

Please.

Luo and I were born in the same year.

You will also get old one day.

I don't understand.

Why can't you two

get along with each other?

Well.

Since you're here already,

let's drop this topic.

Let's eat something,

Tao Ze.

Excuse me?

Have some manners.

You can't call me by my full name.

Take this.

What?

What is that?

A dead body?

They are important documents.

-Just hold them. Don't move. -No.

I faint at the sight of blood.

For real?

There's no blood. Just hold the documents for me.

You aren't afraid of the cold-blooded Captain Luo

but you are afraid of a dead body?

Let's go.

♪When I am down♪

♪And oh, my soul, so weary♪

♪When troubles come♪

♪And my heart burdened be♪

♪Then, I am still♪

Humans love to delude themselves,

don't they?

♪And wait here in silence♪

♪Until you come♪

What is it?

I was thinking about the victim.

The victim?

He was all excited to see someone.

But unbeknownst to him, that someone

wanted him dead.

What?

The blazer he was wearing.

He put it on without removing the price tag.

Perhaps it was too pricey for him.

(Because this article of clothing)

(is way beyond his budget.)

However, he needed it for certain occasions.

He planned to return it once he was done.

Cash-strapped students do that

when they go for an interview.

You think like Captain Luo,

even saying the same things.

Is that so?

Who do you think

he dressed himself up for?

Someone important to him.

And someone powerful too.

Powerful?

What makes you think so?

But that blazer doesn't suit his size.

And it's expensive.

If he puts it on,

he'll look too formal and uptight.

Since this isn't for an interview,

he must have worn it to see

someone important to him.

And that someone is way more well-off than him.

Then why do you think

the perpetrator taped a note

on the victim's forehead?

To prevent the victim from turning into a zombie.

Or perhaps

he felt remorseful after killing the victim

so he subconsciously did what others would do

to pay respect to the dead.

But if the note didn't cover the entire face?

Just a small note

on the victim's forehead,

right between the eyes.

Forehead?

When an elderly reproaches a youngster,

a strong person bullies and a weak person,

or when we want to chastise pets,

we target their forehead.

Or perhaps it's some sort of label.

Everything in a shopping mall has a label.

Either way, I think the perpetrator is...

What do you call it?

An individual with empathy deficiency disorder.

Right?

Narcissism

is one of the most common archetypes, isn't it?

A narcissistic criminal

loves to follow the police investigation.

And when they are so full of themselves,

they might even take something from the crime scene as a token.

But why?

Why?

To commemorate it.

-If I were the perpetrator... -Pei Su.

Not this again.

I was just joking.

It's not funny.

Weizhao said many times

Don't try to guess their mind.

I'm home.

You owe me one dinner, all right?

[You Raise Me Up]

Give me your hand.

Pei Su.

Let bygones be bygones.

We all have to move on.

If you want to earn others' trust,

you follow my advice.

Don't hide behind

the mask you put on.

You might need to take the leap of faith first.

I know what you're about to say.

You're not who you just mentioned.

Luo

and I

believe that.

It's been seven years.

You still won't forgive him?

He did everything he could

for your mother's case.

The autopsy,

physical evidence, testimonies,

everything points toward

a suicide.

It's not about this.

Then why can't you forgive him?

It's late now, Ze.

You should go home.

♪When the dark desire spawns, I linger before the gate of the abyss♪

♪Let me indulge in the freedom to do what I want♪

♪Why are you staying silent?♪

♪You don't need to save me♪

♪I have no empathy, but I wait for you to knock on my door♪

♪And closed the door to my heart♪

♪I maintain my body temperature♪

♪Because I was born a human♪

♪I don't want to idle alone until you say♪

♪That you'll accompany me however deep the abyss is♪

♪How many times do I have to tear my soul apart♪

♪To unlock your heart?♪

♪How many times do I have to try♪

♪To understand the look in your eyes?♪

♪I don't want to defend justice until you say♪
