“OK. The case you reported about the illegal excavation at the castle caused quite a stir, and the suspect has been arrested and sentenced to three years.

“That guy’s called Antonio Kaufman, and he seems a bit familiar.

“By the way, he has the same surname as your ex–fiance. And he was a history professor. How could he do such a thing?”

In the past six months in Antarctica, I had let go of the past. From now on, I’d only live for myself.

I rented a place near the TV station.

The next day, I went back to the station. After handing over work to my colleagues, I bought a bouquet of flowers and went to the cemetery.

Standing in front of my mom’s tombstone, I found it spotless- surrounded by flowers and her favorite desserts.

I stared at the photo of me, Levi, and Mom on the tombstone before looking away, as calm as ever.
