CHAPTER 2 — THE MAN WHO WALKED IN
Then suddenly—
BOOM.
The cafeteria doors burst open.
The sound cuts through the room like a gunshot.
Everyone turns.
A man in a sharp dark suit steps inside.
His posture is controlled.
His expression unreadable.
But his eyes burn with something dangerous.
He doesn't waste a second.
He doesn't look around.
He already knows exactly where to go.
The camera follows as he moves quickly across the cafeteria.
Straight toward the girl.
Straight toward the worker.
The worker reaches toward the child again.
Then everything changes.
The man grabs her wrist mid-motion.
Hard.
The sudden movement makes people flinch.
"Don't touch her again."
The room freezes.
Even the worker looks shaken.
"You don't understand—"
"I understand everything."
His voice is calm.
Far too calm.
May you like
The kind of calm that makes everyone nervous.
Because it feels like something irreversible is about to happen.
