Chi An: Graduate student / sociology major / social worker
Lin Zao: Police academy graduate / PhD in psychology
Lin Zao met Chi An ten years ago. The little girl calmly reported a crime and said she wanted the culprit brought to justice. At the time, he was a trainee police officer learning how to take statements.
Ten years later, they meet again. Chi An is nearing graduation and devotes all the warmth in her heart to social work. Lin Zao successfully switched fields to earn his doctorate and became a highly sought-after, highly educated police officer.
Chi An was the first victim Lin Zao encountered in his police career.
When they first met, Lin Zao was an ambitious trainee police officer, dreaming of wiping out all evil and living up to the uniform he wore.
When they meet again, Chi An is no longer the lifeless little girl, battered from head to toe, in the hospital. She is now freely enjoying her youth.
But life rarely goes as we wish.
When the past repeats itself and the butcher's blade appears again, everything they had forgotten and thought they had come to terms with is torn open, stripping away the facades and cutting to the bone.
Unhealed wounds will eventually lead to destruction, even as new flesh grows around them.
