Alter had a beloved wife and a twin brother, — a man who understood him without words because he was the same man, only reflected from the other side of the mirror. They were his world, his anchor in a city where any weakness smells like blood in the water. 

Alter knew what it meant to have everything worth living for.

One night, that world vanished.

They were taken quickly, cleanly, without noise or traces — exactly how people work when they’re sure they’ll get away with it. His brother was found first. Too soon and too final. A body with no future, no explanations, no answers.

His wife was worse. She dissolved into the city itself. No witnesses. No records. No rumors. Nothing. Just a void that grew heavier with every passing day.

His brother’s death broke Alter, but it didn’t kill him.

His wife’s disappearance was far crueler. He searched for her for a long time — too long to call it hope, and too stubborn to call it madness.

He turned the streets inside out, dug through the filth of forgotten archives, stared into the eyes of people who knew more than they said and those who said too much to be telling the truth. The city stayed silent, and silence is the most expensive currency around here.

He stopped asking questions no one wanted to answer and started asking the kind that are paid for with fear and pain.

Every day without answers hardened Alter, made him colder, sharper, more dangerous.

One of the few who still remembered who Alter used to be worked at Life inc. He watched a man slowly fade into the shadow of himself and decided to intervene. He built a device—small, almost unremarkable, yet capable of the impossible.

For a short time, it recreated the image of Alter’s brother: not alive, not real, but assembled from memory, grief, and regret. Alter knew it was an illusion. He knew he was speaking to a ghost. But sometimes, that was enough to keep him from pulling the trigger too soon.

Now Alter continues his search for his wife, and the city feels it in its bones.

Anyone who stands in his way will meet the same fate as his brother.

Because in this city, love is never forgiven. And loss always demands payment.
