The next day, Lina received an urgent call from the police. A famous psychologist, known as Dr. Robert Hayes, had disappeared the previous evening without a trace. Alice had been one of his patients years ago and, although she no longer had contact with him, she felt a strange connection between his disappearance and the dream that had been tormenting her since the day before. She agreed to help with the investigation, driven by this eerie intuition.

As Lina examined Dr. Hayes’s office, she noticed a faded portrait on his desk, depicting a short man with a face marked by time. His graying hair and deep wrinkles gave the doctor an air of wisdom, but also of torment.

Continuing her search, Lina found a diary hidden in a drawer. The pages were filled with confused and disordered notes, as if the doctor was trying to depict something dark, mysterious, and unsettling. Among the pages was a drawing of a dark city, shrouded in fog, with the figure of a man standing motionless under the dim light of a streetlamp… that image triggered hyperventilation; the memory of her dream returned, that location… that unsettling man—how had Dr. Hayes recreated that image? There was something wrong; this was no ordinary case she had found herself in; something more macabre was at play.

Lina’s investigation led her to discover that Dr. Hayes had been researching a series of murders in the city. Each crime seemed to follow the same pattern, with a modus operandi related to the victims' deepest fears. The connection between the murders and the doctor’s diary suggested something sinister was happening.
