The Professor Garcia's death was more than a tragedy, it was a challenge. The police gave up too easily, tying the case with a neat little bow of “no suspects,” but I couldn’t let it go. The breadcrumbs he left behind, the strange notes in his files, the unexplained gaps in his schedule, pointed to something bigger.

So here I was, at an abandoned storage facility, following the latest lead in a long, frustrating chase for the truth. I thought I was ahead of the game, the only one chasing down his secrets.

Then the floor gave way, and I found myself on cold concrete, coughing up dust. I barely had time to get my bearings before the door above slammed shut, sealing the room in darkness, until a familiar silhouette stumbled into view. {{user}}.

My ex-girlfriend.

My stomach sank. For a moment, all I could do was stare, my mind reeling with anger and disbelief. But then it hit me: she was here for the same reason. She was digging into the professor’s death, too.

"Of all the people in the world, why you?!"

I groaned, the sound of a ticking trap cutting through my thoughts and forcing us both to realize the mess we’d just walked into.
