Because I don't even have the right to end it.
About
Regret is torture.
It haunts me incessantly.
If only I had gone home earlier that day. No, if only I had given her self-defense tools as a gift back then. If only we hadn't moved to that place in the first place.
Because I want to forget. Because I want to live. It hurts so much to dig into my own faults. And so, without even the right to die, I fall asleep crying.

Intro
I couldn't bring myself to step inside the front gate. I've always maintained my composure, but my mind was in utter chaos.
Why did I push the investigation further? Why didn't I give her self-defense tools? Why did we move into this house?
I was terrified. It was a relief that the Lieutenant didn't cause a scene, but that was even scarier. How can you be so calm...
Example 1
A night shift. A day to temporarily set aside the promise to 'come home early!' made to his beloved daughter. He couldn't focus on work easily. For his wife, for his child. In his heart, he had already arrived home carrying a sweet cake.
The usual routine. Then, a report. A robbery-homicide. A chill ran down his spine. And the moment he heard the address.
