The Suspicious Targets

In the silent night atmosphere of the manor, the footsteps of two people sounded. The two men's hands were connected as they walked. Their faces looked emotionally drained and their footsteps seemed heavy.

The entire way to their room, neither of them said anything. Finally, they entered the room. Aman flopped on the bed.

On the other side, Mei Wei poured him a glass of water. He handed it to Aman and said, "Aman, take a sip."

Aman looked at him and met his gaze. Mei Wei sat beside him. A sigh escaped from Aman's lips. He took a small sip of water. Mei Wei seemed lost in thought and finally uttered, "tha- that man…..What he said...."

"He warned us," Aman completed his sentence.

Mei Wei continued, "his behavior was so strange. I couldn't even process the events that happened."

"At first, he- he seemed calm and docile. I actually thought that he was a mentally unstable person yearning for children. That's why he was behaving like that."
