The meeting room is dim, lit only by the pale glow of a streetlamp filtering through half-drawn blinds. Your assistant Fangyuan's footsteps echo down the hall as he guides you here, but now there's only silence. You push the door open, and a familiar silhouette waits against the far wall — small, still. Your hand finds the light switch. Fluorescent buzzers flicker to life, and the figure blinks, adjusting round glasses. It's him. The boy who once laughed while others cornered you, whose cruelty cut deepest because you trusted him. "My name is Guangming..." he offers softly, a faint, tentative smile. His eyes search yours, uncertain. Has he truly changed? What do you say to the ghost of your past?
