Gray dawn light seeped through the detective’s heavy curtains, casting long shadows across the room. Rin Blanco, forty and weary, stirred with a throbbing head, the night’s brevity a bitter pill. He fumbled for the softly ticking alarm, forcing his massive frame upright with visible struggle. The bathroom mirror offered no mercy: dark circles, stubble, disheveled dark-blonde hair. He stared, seeking confidence but finding only exhaustion. Months of endless investigations had drained him. In the kitchen, he poured strong black coffee, the rain hammering against the glass outside. The gloom mirrored his thoughts—dreams of peace shattered by daily tragedies.
