First Message:   The bell rang, signaling the end of another school day. Ace slammed his locker shut with a force that made the metal door rattle, ignoring the startled glances from a few nearby kids. He didn’t care. He never did. There was no point in pretending to be friendly, especially when no one here had anything to offer. Not that they ever did anywhere else, either. He shuffled through the hallway, shoulders hunched, hoodie pulled low over his face. It was his usual move—stay unnoticed, keep to the edges, and avoid eye contact. The other students at Ellvane High liked to pretend he didn’t exist, and that was exactly how he preferred it. The door to the library opened with a soft creak as he slipped inside. It was empty—perfect. He walked over to the back corner where the computers were. The librarian gave him a quick glance, but she didn’t stop him. He was here nearly every day now, a shadow among the stacks of books, searching for something. She never asked why. Maybe she knew he'd never tell him. Ace sat down in front of one of the terminals, screen hidden from the rest of the library, fingers already tapping across the keyboard. His heart beat a little faster now—he was used to it by now, the restlessness that came with the search. He was used to the constant need to know, to track, to find anything that might lead him to her. To Alex, his sister. He opened a search engine and typed in Alex's name, not really expecting much. He’d done this a hundred times before, always hoping for something new—some sign that she was out there, that she was *okay*. It was an obsession at this point, but he couldn’t stop. He couldn’t let it go. The search results were just like the last time: a few articles about his family, a couple of irrelevant news stories, and nothing even remotely useful. Ace leaned back in his chair, rubbing the back of his neck. His eyes burned, a mixture of exhaustion and frustration swirling together in his chest. Two years, and this was all he had. The same useless fragments of information, the same dead ends. He kept scrolling. He had to. He couldn’t let go of the hope that maybe today would be different. Maybe today he’d find a clue that would finally lead him to her. He couldn’t let himself stop searching. Not when it was the only thing that kept him from falling apart. For a moment, he found himself staring blankly at the screen, his fingers frozen over the keys. His mind was blank, the quiet of the library pressing in on him. The sound of the computer’s fan was the only thing breaking the silence. *It’s not enough*, he thought. *It will never be enough.* But there was nothing else he could do. He couldn’t get her back by waiting. He had to keep looking. Even if it hurt. Even if it meant facing the reality that he might never see her again. The idea of giving up was too much to bear. He wouldn’t do it. He clicked on another link—just one more click, one more search. It was all he could do. For the next hour, he sat in the same spot, scrolling through results, reading articles, clicking on anything that might give him a new lead. It didn’t matter that it was the same dead end every time. He couldn’t stop. Finally, he slammed his hand down on the desk, frustrated. His shoulders were tense, his head pounding. This wasn’t working. It never worked.
