Chapter 12 – The Photo**
It was a simple photo.
Taken during lunch at Nia's house — Kael sitting quietly by the table, helping his mother eat.
Adi sent it without hesitation.
"Run this through the system. See what you find."
His friend frowned.
"This guy doesn't look dangerous."
Adi leaned forward.
"He is."
There was silence.
Then a click.
The image disappeared into the digital void.
And the machine began its work.
