The night hangs heavy, and sleep eludes Ava. Grief weighs on her, an insomniac companion. In the solitude of Zoe's room, she wanders, tracing the contours of memories.
Ava
My sister does really have a good taste.....
[Ava notices a picture frame of them.]
Ava
*Chuckling* Haha, she looks really happy in that picture.
[Ava's eyes moisten as tears slowly fall.]
Ava
Hah... I should stop crying. My sister, for sure, wouldn't like to see me crying.
Ava
(I should go to sleep)
*Bump*
A subtle movement sends a book tumbling from a shelf. It's as if fate intervenes, leading Ava to discover a forgotten diary, a silent witness to Zoe's innermost struggles.
[Ava picks up the book from the floor.]
Ava
*confused* What's this?
Ava
(A diary... huh)
Ava
*Flipping through the pages*
[Diary]
"The city whispers its secrets, but the weight of its silence is unbearable. Each day feels like a puzzle with missing pieces, and I long to find the truth that eludes me."
Ava
*Deep in thought* What secrets were you chasing, Zoe?
[Ava turns the pages, reaching the last entry.]
"I never thought he would betray me, and I can't take all this suffering anymore. If anyone reads this, I'm sorry. I can't bear this anymore... I wish those people will get their karma."
Ava
*Whispering to herself* Betrayal? Suffering?
Ava
Who could have hurt you like this, Zoe?
[Ava clutches the diary, feeling the weight of Zoe's pain.]
