My brother explained, "Oh, this is our family photo. You probably recognize everyone in it. By the way. didn't you have some interaction with Chloe in the past? She-

Before he could finish, Esmee let out a sharp scream. Her trembling hand shot toward the photo as her expression twisted in terror, "Dead! Dead!"

I snapped my gaze to her, a sudden intensity overtaking me. Considering the timeline, she must have been abducted just days after I died. Had she witnessed something that night?

My heart raced with anticipation-I hadn't expected her to be a crucial piece of the puzzle.

"Esmee, you need to speak up. What did you see?" I urged.

Everyone turned to ker, and Esmee's mother quickly stepped in with an apologetic tone.

"Esmee, it's New Year. You shouldn't talk about death. It'll bring bad luck!"

My mother muttered in agreement, clearly displeased. "Exactly. What kind of nonsense is this?"

Esmee's mother tried to explain. I'm sorry. My daughter was recently abducted, and it's left her mentally shaken. She seemed to be recovering, so we brought her here to thank you in person. I didn't expect this reaction.

"It's fine," my mother replied stiffly, though her irritation was obvious. She seemed eager to send the Myers family away..

Before they could leave, my father stepped forward, his eyes sharp. "What do you mean by 'dead? Explain

it"

Esmee pointed at the photo again, repeatedly saying. "Dead. Dead...

"Who died? What did you see?"

As my father approached, Esmee suddenly collapsed, clutching her head and trembling. "Don't hurt me! I won't run away!" "Mr. Sander, I'm sorry," Esmee's mother intervened. "Her condition is unstable. We'll take her home right away. Sorry to trouble you." As they hurriedly brought Esmee out, she still hadn't calmed down.

I couldn't help but feel frustrated. The truth was within reach, yet Esmee's mind, scarred by her experience in Chedor, wasn't clear. Her parents dragged her away, but even as they stepped into the swirling snow, I heard her muttering faintly, "Snow... dead dead.
