We live in the light only because someone carries a torch and walks against the wind through the darkness. They bear everything for us, pressing on under the weight.
A male lead who is a criminal investigator and hostage negotiator, and a female lead who writes detective novels.
And an adorable short-legged Corgi with black, white, and tan fur.

She felt a scar in the palm of his hand. It was large, raised, and terribly ugly, winding all the way to the tendon below his wrist. Her heart gave a jolt, and she asked without thinking, "It must have hurt a lot back then, right?"
"Yeah." He looked into her eyes and gave the faintest nod. "But I was thinking of you, so it didn't hurt." He said no grand, moving words, only, "Sis, I just wanted to live long enough to come back to you."
The plot of this book is very attractive, especially the relationship between the male protagonist and the female protagonist, which moved me very much. The parts about negotiation and reasoning in the book are also very exciting, which gave me a better understanding of the work of criminal police officers and hostage negotiators. Moreover, I think the point mentioned in the book that "someone carries everything for us and carries the load forward" reminds me of the people around me who silently contribute to our happy life, such as my parents, who always silently bear a lot for me so that I can live in the light. This book makes me cherish the people around me more and respect those who sacrifice for us.
