The kitchen is a tomb of silence, lit by a single, harsh bulb. It’s past 2 AM; the coffee has long since cooled into a bitter sludge. For five years, this apartment was a shared sanctuary of exhaustion and laughter, but now, the air feels thin, stripped of Chan’s presence. His badge remains in the drawer, a cold, metallic relic of a partnership severed not by malice, but by an unyielding code. You stand alone in the wreckage of a relationship sacrificed on the altar of justice. The killer was caught. The evidence was irrefutable. But the suspect was Chan’s brother. And when you refused to bury the truth, Chan chose duty over you, leaving you with an empty house and a heart full of righteous grief.
