the owl 2

After everything ended and it was confirmed that Yasser was dead, someone came to the Owl.

"Hello, shall we start the treatment now?"

The Owl: "Yes, Doctor. I killed someone today, and everyone failed to treat my desire to kill."

Doctor: "What kind of people do you kill?"

The Owl: "Young people."

Doctor: "Why them specifically?"

The Owl: "Let me tell you a part of my story so you can understand."

...

"I was a university president and happy with my job and life. I was the youngest university president, around 48 years old. Then a video came out showing a student from my university who was raped. His name was Ramez. That video became a scandal. How could I not protect a young man in my university? I was very sad. Then the minister decided to remove me from my position to calm the public, even though the incident happened outside the campus and work. But they needed a scapegoat. I fell into deep sadness about the boy and myself. Later, I received a call saying that Ramez had committed suicide and hanged himself in his room."

"That made me lose my mind. How can a young man, who is supposed to be full of energy, laughter, and life, end his life because of a shock or betrayal? I decided not to stay silent. I started investigating the case and found out that Adly was behind it all. He threatened Sara that if she didn't help him, he would fire her father who worked in Adly's father's company. Then things went as they did, and I started working in drug and weapon trade to quickly gain power and money. Things went as I wanted. I took revenge on Adly and killed him."

"After that, with money and connections, I got a high position and arranged for every phone entering the country to have a spy and tracking device inside. I started discovering young people like Ramez. That's when my project began—monitoring young people and making them face themselves. I offered them travel, which is a symbol for escaping the shock, and I acted like their conscience—or the death waiting for them. If a young person chose to travel, he died immediately, because he was running away from facing a problem that could be solved, even if hard."

"The only one who refused to travel was Sadeq. After I saved him and took him away, he wanted to go back to take revenge for the death of Reem. But Waheed was a broken young man without a goal, so he died too. Yasser was weak. He didn't take revenge or face those who hurt him, so he died too. And by the way, I killed Hassan and Rasha to make justice real. In short, if a young man has no goal in his life to live or die for, and cannot face pain while still smiling, then he must die. He is no different from the elderly."

...

Doctor: "I don't understand any of those people. I don't get it. But isn't it possible that those young people were just mentally broken and wanted treatment to continue living?"

The Owl: "There is no better treatment than facing things. I made them face their past."

The Owl: "Don't bother yourself, Doctor. All I wanted from you is to tell my story to someone because I'm lonely. Your job is done. But you may harm me with this information. So forgive me."

The Owl took out his gun and shot the doctor.

Then he said:

"I will not stop fixing the youth and making them strong enough to face their pain while smiling."
