Searching for the Truth
Determined to go beyond surface-level assumptions, I pressed further in my conversation with Alan’s cousin, hoping for something—anything—that would explain his remarkable transformation. “Was there ever a turning point? Anything that stood out?” I asked, my voice full of restrained hope. The reply came slowly, with pauses that hinted at reflection but offered little clarity. The conversation, though rich in tone, yielded no solid leads, leaving me with more uncertainty than I started with.
Despite the lack of breakthroughs, I didn’t feel discouraged. Instead, the absence of concrete answers made Alan’s evolution seem even more profound. The realization that no one close to him had witnessed the full extent of his journey hinted at just how personal and hidden his path might have been. It only deepened my respect for him—and strengthened my resolve to follow this mystery wherever it led.
