Martin is facing one of the biggest challenges of his life, and darkness seems to be surrounding him. Cyrus is ᴅᴇᴀᴅ—an irreversible fact—but that doesn’t mean Martin can easily accept it. The ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ of his brother not only brings pain and loss but also awakens deep-seated obsessions that Martin has never truly faced.
For a long time, Martin tried to distance himself from Cyrus, convincing himself that he wasn’t responsible for his brother’s crimes. But now, with Cyrus gone, he can no longer avoid the truth. Memories of the past—of the times he tried to redeem someone who ultimately chose the path of darkness—begin to haunt him. He wonders, Have I done enough? Could things have been different if I had kept Florence away from Cyrus?
The pain tortures Martin, pulling him into a spiral from which he cannot escape. He starts drowning in self-blame, no longer caring about his work. The cases that once seemed important to him now feel insignificant. He loses control, becoming irritable with everyone around him, especially those involved in the investigation of Cyrus. Lucky and Elizabeth become targets for his unwarranted outbursts because he cannot bear hearing Cyrus’s name without feeling a bitter sting in his heart.
But the obsession doesn’t stop there. It creeps into Martin’s sleep, keeping him from resting. Unable to escape the truth, he finds himself sinking deeper into darkness. Every time he closes his eyes, he sees Cyrus’s image, the crimes he committed, and the face of their mother—whom Martin tried to protect, though perhaps in the wrong way.
The pain quickly turns into self-destruction. He begins turning to alcohol as a way to temporarily numb his feelings, but that only makes things worse. His work begins to fall apart, and those around him start noticing the troubling change in him. However, no one can truly help Martin if he himself is not willing to be saved.
This story is not just about the pain of loss but also about how Martin is letting it control him. A new trouble is brewing—not just in his mind but affecting those around him. He is no longer the calm, intelligent, and rational man he once was. Instead, he is gradually turning into a stranger to himself, being pulled into a deep hole from which he doesn’t know how to escape.
But the question remains: Can Martin find a way out of this darkness before it completely consumes him, or will he continue to sink deeper, letting his obsession with Cyrus control his life? A new darkness is forming, and if Martin doesn’t find a way to face it, he may lose everything—including himself.
Martin cannot stand still and watch everything pass by without answers. Cyrus’s ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ is not as simple as everyone thinks, and he knows there is a hidden truth behind it all. In his obsession and pain of loss, Martin begins investigating the real reasons behind his brother’s ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ. The deeper he digs into the case, the more he realizes there are too many irregularities, too many contradictions in the testimonies, and, especially, people trying to cover up the truth.
Martin cannot let it all end without a proper explanation. Cyrus’s ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ is not just an ending—it could be a setup. If someone ᴋɪʟʟᴇᴅ his brother, Martin will not let that person get away with it.
The evidence he gathers begins to point to one clear thing: someone staged the incident to make Cyrus disappear forever. Then, in a surprising moment, Martin discovers something that could change everything—the gun that ᴋɪʟʟᴇᴅ Cyrus. The truth suddenly becomes clearer than ever. There isn’t just one person responsible for this. Every clue leads back to a sophisticated plan involving Brennan, Carly, and Joselyn.
Martin realizes that Joselyn may have been manipulated into pulling the trigger, but the truth is much more complicated. Brennan didn’t just use Joselyn to ᴋɪʟʟ Cyrus—he also tried to set up Jason and make everything spiral out of control. Carly, though not directly involved, has unknowingly become part of this game as she protects Joselyn from the consequences of that action.
Anger and a thirst for revenge rise in Martin. His whole life, he’s tried to stay away from Cyrus, always wanting to prove he wasn’t like his brother. But now, faced with this truth, he can’t stop himself from thinking that he needs to do something. This is no longer about seeking justice—it’s about revenge.
