Chapter 11

It wasn't until a year later that I received an update about Ramona.

I had continued my employment at Marcus's firm, collaborating closely with him.

Our inherent similarities made us naturally compatible colleagues.

Marcus possessed the enthusiasm and ambition characteristic of his age.

In contrast, my experiences with both life and death had instilled in me a sense of composure and resoluteness, coupled with unwavering determination.

Word reached me that Ramona had relocated to her hometown, leaving the city behind. In her new environment, her previous misdeeds were unknown. She was reportedly focusing on her work, maintaining a discreet presence.

As time passed, the events surrounding Ramona became less prominent in people's minds, with only Hans occasionally bringing it up in jest.

The evening sky was ablaze with the warm hues of the setting sun.

Marcus and I found ourselves on the sidewalk, sharing a moment of mutual understanding through a simple grin.
