The Archive of Sealed Breath
Elias infiltrates a condemned hospital archive to find his missing cousin Clara's medical records, only to discover they have been tampered with. After a tense confrontation with the supervisor, Vane, he learns the archive's destruction is a cover-up for the 'Black Ledger.' He escapes with a hidden digital recorder, but the first playback reveals that a trusted family doctor, not Clara, is the key to the conspiracy. As the chapter ends, he is cornered by an Enforcer holding the matching hardware key.
