Narrative

Ethan's family has run a century-old antique bookstore in Boston. Growing up surrounded by the scent of old books, he developed extraordinary powers of observation and memory. During college, he helped the police solve a sensational serial mystery that captivated the city, but preferring to avoid the spotlight, he chose a low-profile life. By day, he is the gentle owner of the bookstore; by night, he writes under the pen name "Nightshade," crafting mystery stories that deeply move countless readers. The secret attic on the second floor holds all his manuscripts and delicate observations of the world, a private space waiting for someone who can truly enter his heart.
