The Too Bright Truth

Chapter 8 – The Too Bright Truth

Location: Central Investigation Sector – Zombo Country

Protagonist: Nikkomam – the clumsy yellow hero

---

SCENE 1 – BEGINNING OF THE INVESTIGATION

Nikkomam was sitting upside down in the police station chair, with his yellow hat turned backwards and his cape tied up haphazardly. He was twirling a pencil on his finger as if it were a magic wand.

Head of the police station:

— Nikkomam… understand. This case is serious.

— Hundreds of girls are committing crimes in the name of a "mysterious idol".

— Murder, robbery, mass suicide… families are being destroyed.

— And you were the only one left. The other heroes refused.

Nikkomam (with an awkward smile):

— Well… if I was left, then it's because the world needs a little yellow!

(looks at the imaginary camera)

— Investigation... "supreme banana" mode activated! 🍌

---

SCENE 2 – INTERVIEWING THE FAMILIES

Nikkomam visited emotionally destroyed homes. Mothers with dark circles under their eyes, silent fathers, angry siblings.

Mother 1 (crying):

— My daughter said she had finally found someone who "understood" her.

— She talked about a "perfect idol"… handsome, smiling…

— And then one day… she disappeared. Two days later she was arrested for burning down a store!

Nikkomam:

— Did she mention a name?

Father 2 (cold):

— She just said… "He is light in a dark world". Nothing more.

— Then she cut her own hair as a sign of devotion. And stole 10 thousand from the school safe.

Nikkomam (with a serious expression and dramatic voice):

— Hmmm… this story is hairy. Literally.

(pause)

— Ok, ok! Focus, Nikkomam! Yellow focus!

SCENE 3 – VISIT TO THE TEENAGERS' PRISON

In a special wing of the juvenile prison, Nikkomam walked between bars.

The imprisoned girls looked at him with contempt. Many smiled as if they were keeping a secret that the world would never understand.

Nikkomam (to the imprisoned girl):

— Do you remember why you did what you did?

Girl 1 (looking at the ceiling):

— He showed me that this rotten world doesn't deserve rules.

— And that real love... comes with blood.

Nikkomam (swallows hard):

— Him? What's his name?

Girl 1 (cynical smile):

— The sky doesn't speak its own name. It only sings.

— And his name echoes in those who know how to listen...

Girl 2 (leaning against the wall, eyes glazed):

— He dances while the world burns.

— And each step… is a revolution.

Nikkomam wrote everything down. But… no name. No identity.

Just poetic, disconnected… and dangerously passionate sentences.

SCENE 4 – 90 DAYS OF INVESTIGATION

Nikkomam searched everything.

Schools. Hospitals. Fan clubs. Forums on the deep web.

He even infiltrated a spiritual meeting where they used LED lights and sang pop songs with subliminal messages.

But nothing.

Even the digital files were "too clean".

SCENE 5 – MEETING IN THE CORRIDOR

Disappointed, Nikkomam returned to the police station with his head down.

As she walked down the hallway, two teenage girls were laughing and talking loudly.

Girl A:

— Girl, have you seen Viktor's new music video!?

— He's too perfect, I swear!

Girl B:

— My dream is to join his secret group... they say he changes your mind forever...

Nikkomam stopped.

Frozen.

She turned around slowly.

Nikkomam (in a low voice):

— Viktor...?

— Why does that name... seem... too brilliant...?
