Life slowly became quiet again.
Police closed the case.
My mother awaited trial.
Business matters settled.
For the first time in months…
Peace.
I even started sleeping normally again.
But peace after chaos always feels temporary.
Because scars don't disappear.
They just stop bleeding.
One night I received a package.
No sender name.
Inside was only one thing.
A chess piece.
A queen.
And a note.
"Game continues."
