Prologue

Every story begins with a single moment.

Some begin with a choice.

Others begin with a secret.

This one begins with a pair of sunglasses.

Before you turn the next page, understand one thing:

What follows is more than a story. It is a collection of moments, memories, and choices that slowly reveal a truth hidden in plain sight.

Some answers arrive immediately.

Others will take far longer.

Welcome to the beginning.
