Winding mark
The surprise of this discovery made Marcos stumble. He fell backwards, struggling to stay on his feet. As he clutched the diary to his chest, the room spun around him. His thoughts were a whirlwind of confusion and anger. Could the real Mark still be alive somewhere? Did anyone else know about it? The structures of his reality collapsed, leaving him immersed in a devastating state of disbelief and sadness. Every memory felt like a bitter falsehood.
The children find the diary
Before he could confront Emily with the truth, her children discovered the diary, clearing up the riddle that made them call 911. They found the diary carelessly on the kitchen table. When they read the pages, their faces turned pale with astonishment and bewilderment. Panic set in and they quickly dialed 112. Mark barely wrote down his actions, still shaken by the devastating betrayal. The sound of sirens filled the room, transporting him back to the present moment.
