Marcus feels his chest collapse.
“No… that’s impossible…”
But the boy steps even closer… whispering:
“I saw her… putting drops in her drink.”
Marcus’s hands start shaking.
Flash of memories—
his wife… always insisting on giving the medicine herself…
never letting doctors adjust it…
The girl squeezes his hand:
“Daddy… it’s getting darker…”
Marcus looks down… TERRIFIED.
Then back at the boy—
“Who are you…?”
The boy’s expression doesn’t change:
“Someone who wasn’t supposed to see it.”
And then— he slowly steps back… disappearing into the heat.
Marcus is left standing there… with one choice:
👉 Trust a stranger… or risk losing his daughter forever.
💬 WHAT SHOULD HE DO?
