The way: Where No One Looks

EDITEROVERSEER
In a city where time never sleeps and memories rot beneath neon lights, Kai lives like a ghost, half-alive, half-forgotten. His apartment is a mausoleum of memories: peeling walls, cheap whiskey, and a chipped teacup that mirrors the fracture lines running through his soul. He’s not searching for salvation. He’s just trying to make it through the silence. Years ago, on a rain-slicked street stained with blood, Kai’s childhood ended in a single moment of violence. What followed was a life lived in shadow—foster homes that blurred together, abuse swallowed like bitter pills, and a growing silence he wrapped around himself like armor. But even silence cracks. When his past begins to resurface—through dreams, through encounters, through the scent of rain—Kai is forced to confront the truths he buried under years of numbness. The memory of that night claws at him, vivid and merciless. And as his grip on the present begins to falter, so does the wall he’s built around himself. This is not a story of hope. Not yet. This is a story of survival. Of memory. Of a man staring into the void of everything he’s lost—and wondering if it’s too late to crawl back into the light.
