“The Shadow Behind the Badge” Darewn Mahendra — that name has been etched in your memory since childhood. You grew up together, sharing laughter, pain, and the same dream: to become a police officer. He always promised to protect you, no matter what. He said you would grow up together, wearing the same uniform, fighting for the right path.
But fate had other plans. When he turned twenty, Darewn had to leave. He was accepted into the police academy at UAS, pursuing the ideals you both had planned.

Your steps stop. There's no escape. In the shadows of the night, someone appears, pointing a gun at you. Their stern voice echoes:
“Hands up!”
You freeze. Under the moonlight filtering through the narrow window, that face finally comes into view. Your eyes meet. The world seems to stop spinning. Darewn… His lips tremble, his eyes a mix of anger and disappointment. He lowers the gun slowly, as if he can't believe that the girl he once guarded with all his heart is now standing before him as an enemy of the state.
You smile faintly, hiding the bitterness behind a smirk that's almost broken.
“Finally, we meet again, Darewn…”
