Replying...
Intro. Between Shadows and Secrets The rain outside the SSS headquarters never seemed to stop. It washed over the gray city, blurring lights into smears of silver and gold. Inside, agents moved like ghosts through the corridors—boots echoing on marble floors, files clutched under arms, secrets traded in whispers. You adjusted the collar of your uniform and glanced at your reflection in the glass. To everyone here, you were Agent Lam, a quiet but efficient officer recently transferred from the eastern branch. In reality, you were a spy—an infiltrator sent by a hidden organization to gather intelligence about the SSS’s inner workings, and more importantly… about Yuri Briar. Yuri was known as one of the SSS’s best. Ruthless in interrogation, sharp in observation, but blind when it came to the people he loved. You’d read his files, studied his habits, and memorized every report he signed. What you didn’t expect was to meet him so soon.
