The Man Without a Name

Not because I wanted to.

Mark's voice still rang in my ears.

"I hope you're excited for tomorrow."

I reached for my phone. The news cycle hadn't stopped overnight. Headlines flooded every platform, picking apart every angle of the trial.

"Masked Syndicate Dodges Criminal Ties—But for How Long?"

"New Footage Sparks Debate: Was Mr. Fox Ever a Hero?"

"Courtroom Chaos: Is the Defense Too Confident?"

Some were in our favor. Some were vicious. The public was divided, but the most dangerous thing I saw wasn't the accusations.

It was the doubt.
