Fourteen years ago, a family of three was brutally murdered in Tongle City. I was the only survivor.
That same year, the case was solved, and the killer was brought to justice.
The following year, my whole family moved to another city.
Because of what happened, I have to receive psychological treatment every year.
Fourteen years later, I met a woman who told me she was the killer's younger sister.
"My brother wasn't the killer!"
I fled in a panic. What she said was exactly what Xia Xia had said.
Ten days ago, I saw Xia Xia, who was already dead.

My therapist told me that people can hallucinate after experiencing a major trauma. I should ignore it. What happened back then wasn't my fault.
Everyone tells me it wasn't my fault. Only I know that I was the one who pushed my best friend away back then.
I was one of the perpetrators of that murder, too.
I want to atone. I want her to live, even if she exists only in my hallucinations.
But later, she told me,
"He wasn't the killer."
Should I believe her?
Premise: Those who can't move on remain trapped forever
