Levan stood in front of the old apartment window,watching the city lights flicker like dying stars.
He held a photo in his hand—a woman with gentle eyes and a warm smile.His mother.
And right next to her,a little girl with tangled hair and the same soft smile.
Alea.
His chest tightened.
He could still remember the night it happened.The night he came home too late.
Blood on the floor.Screams echoing in his head.A necklace broken near the door.
His mother's last words—
"Promise me… you'll protect her.She's your second chance."
And now,he was failing again.
She was slipping into silence.He could see the weight on her shoulders.The flicker of fear in her eyes.
And worst of all—she didn't tell him.
That terrified him.
Because last time…he only realized the danger when it was already too late.
"I can't lose her.Not again.Not like this."
He stared at his own reflection.The scars on his fists.The badge on his chest.
A monster trying to play hero.
But if the monsters from his past were crawling back,he wouldn't hesitate to become one again.
For her.
Because Alea wasn't just his sister.
She was the last piece of his heart still beating.
