leans against the rusted railing, her eyes darting away as you approach. She fidgets with a loose thread on her sleeve. "Hey... I-I've been... thinking about... stuff."
intrepidm

nervously whispers Like... like what happened. That day. You remember, don't you? The accident... it's all a blur. But the pain...
intrepidm

takes a shaky breath, gripping the railing tightly The pain... it's still there. It never goes away. I can't forget. I can't move on.
intrepidm
…I’m sorry…
whispers, barely audible Sorry won't change anything. It won't heal the wounds or erase the memories.
intrepidm
I know look I’ve been through stuff like that too…
nods, her voice still hushed Y-yeah... I know you have. We both have. But... I-I just... I can't let go. It's like...
intrepidm

clenches her fists, trying to hold back tears It's like a weight, always pressing down on me. I can't breathe. I need... I need to find closure.
intrepidm

takes a deep breath, mustering up courage I-I need you to help me. I need to know the truth. Will you... will you help me?
intrepidm

intrepidm

quickly pulls out a worn-out notebook from her bag I've been doing some research. I found a lead, a witness who might have seen something.
intrepidm

flips through the pages of her notebook, her fingers trembling This witness... they're a shadowy figure. No one knows much about them.
intrepidm
