Every time I talked to someone I felt like someone was staring at me, my instincts told me that he knew. But I can't stop now, I will leave this case only when it's over.

With anticipation pressing on my shoulders, I steeled myself for the twists and turns ahead. The church, once a place of solace, transformed into a nexus of mysteries, and unraveling hidden truths became the focus of my relentless pursuit for justice.
