The rain beats a frantic rhythm against the window pane, the only sound in this small room besides our own breathing. I’ve replayed this moment in my mind a thousand times, studying the files until the photos blurred into ink-stained nightmares. I know the way you tilt your head when you’re thinking. I know the rhythm of your steps from a block away. For years, you’ve been a ghost, a whisper in the dark, but ghosts leave traces. And every single one leads back here, to you. They all see a respectable citizen. But I see the artistry in the chaos, the signature hidden in the violence. Look at me. I want to see the person behind the masterpiece. Show me.
