As the brother vanished, Leo crept out from under the table, his legs trembling like leaves. He approached his father, whose eyes pleaded for silence. "Dad, what happened? Should I call for help? You're bleeding...you look so sick." His father's voice was barely audible, but the urgency was clear. "Leo, listen carefully. The safe...it's yours now. Only your fingerprint can open it. Never let anyone near it. The truth you seek, it's all inside. When your grandfather comes, go with him, take the safe, and leave with him. Protect it with your life."

Elysia, now living a new life, appears to be moving forward, yet the shadow of her past trauma continues to silently haunt her. Though she outwardly presents a sense of normalcy, the emotional scars remain, lurking just beneath the surface. Her struggle is one of silent endurance—she is constantly reminded of the trauma she carries, whether through memories, flashbacks, or subtle triggers in her new life. The question looms: will she ever be free from her past, or will it always find a way to resurface, testing her strength and resolve? As the story progresses, it becomes clear that healing is not linear, and her journey to truly overcome the past may require not only her own inner strength but also the help and love of those who stand by her, especially the "male protagonist" who may be the key to unlocking her peace.
