Dominic’s heart sank.

Norman–once the calmest and most precise sniper under his command, the man whose eyes could lock onto a target’s weak point from about 2 miles away–had fallen so far that he had to sell his home.

e door opened, revealing a face worn far beyond its years–pale, lined, and haggard, though traces of her former beauty emained.

It was Norman’s wife, Megan.

At the sight of three men in military uniforms, their presence sharp and imposing, she got startled. Instinctively, she tried to shut the door. Her eyes were filled with caution, and a faint, deeply buried fear. In recent years, no one who came knocking had brought good news.

“Ma’am, don’t be afraid,” Dominic said quickly, softening his tone as he removed his cap, offering the gentlest expression he could manage. “I’m an old teammate of Norman’s from the First Military. My name’s Dominic. We came to find him.”

At the mention of “First Military” and “teammate,” her tense posture eased slightly. But the wariness in her eyes remained, and now, it was mixed with deep exhaustion and quiet grief.

“He… he’s not here,” she said, her voice hoarse.

“We know. Ma’am, may we come in? We’d like to understand the situation and see if there’s anything we can do to help,” Dominic said sincerely.

not enough to collapse, but it was enough to leave lasting effects. He suffered frequent, crippling headaches and could no longer handle precise or high–intensity work.

Therefore, the military arranged slight clerical position for him. The pay was modest, but stable.

Meanwhile, Megan took on odd jobs. Their family of three lived frugally, but they managed.

Their daughter, Sophia, was a bright and sweet girl. She was their hope.

But when Sophia turned five, she was diagnosed with a congenital defect in her mental power pathways after a sudden high fever. It wasn’t damage, but it was something she had been born with. So, her mental power could not develop or stabilize properly. As she grew older, the defect would worsen, eventually leading to total brain shutdown. In simple terms, brain death.

Their only hope was an extremely expensive and risky surgery to reconstruct her mental power pathways. The success rate was only sixty percent, but there was still a chance.

Without it, she might not even reach adulthood.
