After ending the call, Moon pressed her lips together tightly, fingers clenched around her phone, as if absorbing every
word from the other end.
Whatever was said, it made her brow twitch.
Her eyes briefly filled with surprise and confusion. The corners of her mouth stiffened.
After a moment of silence, she hesitated, then spoke quietly. “You’re saying… you want me to ept his case, be his defense attorney?”
She’d already turned that guy down. Once she decided to step away fromw, she didn’t take cases lightly.
But if this person gave the order…
Moon gave a small nod. “Understood. I’ll do as you say.
There was no room for refusal.
That unsettling feeling still hadn’t left Jean.
She was walking with Ludwig through the packed crowds of the amusement park.
People everywhere.
And yet that sense of being watched
–
quietly, relentlessly refused to fade.

It felt <i>like </i><i>she </i><i>was </i><i>being </i><i>tracked</i><i>. </i><i>Hunted</i>. <i>As </i><i>if </i><i>something </i><i>was </i><i>circling </i><i>her </i><i>from </i><i>the </i><i>shadows</i>, <i>waiting </i><i>for </i><i>the </i><i>right </i>

A cold chill climbed her spine.
Jean instinctively tightened her fingers into a fist.
Her eyes darted around, scanning the crowd. Just people. Nothing suspicious.

“Let’s stop at the restroom,” Jean muttered quietly.
Ludwig blinked, clearly confused. “Restroom? Us? Together?”
Jean didn’t want to exin. She just whispered, “Don’t ask. Just trust me.”

Something <i>was </i><i>definitely </i>wrong.

And if they just kept walking through the park like everything was normal, whatever was lurking in the shadows might finally pounce.
They needed to switch things up. Fast.
Thankfully, Ludwig didn’t press her for answers. He simply nodded and followed her lead.
They made their way to the public restrooms near the edge of the park.
Outside the restroom entrances was arger, open area- quiet, with fewer people. Jean pulled Ludwig toward a hidden spot along the wall.
And just like that
—
That suffocating pressure vanished.
She hadn’t <i>imagined </i><i>it</i>.
Someone <i>had </i>been watching them. And that someone wasn’t inside this restroom area.
“Ludwig.”
Jean’s voice was low and urgent.
“Yeah?” Ludwig looked down at her, focused and calm.
“Let’s split up after this,” she said. Her voice was even, but serious.
Ludwig’s eyes narrowed. “You think…”
Jean nodded. “We’re too obvious together.” &
She didn’t share the full picture – it was just a hunch, and she didn’t want to get into exnations.
But Ludwig wasn’t convinced. His brows drew slightly together, and he frowned. “But if we split up… you might be in danger
