3:18 PM – Ari's ApartmentKyle sat on the floor, leg wrapped in ice, sweat clinging to his chest despite the AC humming above. In front of him: an old, leather-bound journal with pages yellowed by time and corners frayed from years of use. The cover had no title. Just initials burned into the leather:
D.W.
His father's name.
Derrick Wilson.
He had found it at the bottom of an old shoebox Ari had dug out of her closet—one that belonged to Kyle's mother. Somehow, his mom had kept it hidden all these years. A final artifact of the man no one talked about.
Kyle flipped through the pages.
No diary entries. No family notes.
Just diagrams.
