  6:32 AM – The Silent Scream Before the Storm

  Tariq Nasser Al-Masri woke up six minutes before his alarm.

  That was not normal.

  He moved slowly, sensing something was wrong before he knew why.

  The Trama recorded the anomalies:

  Elevated body temperature.

  Increased heart rate.

  More cautious movements than usual.

  (Note: Humans sense danger before they understand it.)

  He went downstairs.

  In the kitchen, Rivka was already seated.

  Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

  And on the table, two cups of tea.

  The scene was already set.

  (Narrative detected: High-impact emotional event approaching.)

  The door opened.

  Beatriz Brillhart entered.

  She did not look surprised.

  Because she already knew.

  Her eyes scanned the scene.

  The misplaced teacup.

  Rivka's fading breath.

  Tariq, paralyzed.

  (Trama Log_000002 – Note: Humans trust what they see more than logic. This is useful.)

  Beatriz sighed.

  — "What a tragedy."

  That was when Tariq understood.

  This was never an accident.

  It was a script.

  And he was the villain in their story.

  The police arrived with mechanical precision.

  The code was activated. The scene was captured.

  — "Tariq Nasser Al-Masri, you are under investigation for the murder of Rivka Elkin."

  The Brillharts were already in the main room.

  Beatriz, dressed in calculated grief.

  Augusto, cold as a verdict already written.

  Tariq did not resist.

  Not because he was guilty.

  But because he was already condemned.

  So, he made the only move left.

  He smiled.

  (Trama Log_000002 – Note: This reaction was unexpected. What does he know that I don't?)

  And then, he said:

  — "I request asylum."

  Beatriz didn't even blink.

  She smiled.

  — "Then we'll pack your bags."
