Mark and I began our investigation by discreetly reaching out to Evan’s colleagues and mutual friends, carefully framing our questions to avoid raising any suspicion. We’d casually ask, “Have you noticed anything different about Evan lately?” Their answers were mixed and vague, offering no clear clues. It felt like searching for a needle in a haystack, but we understood that persistence was crucial—each small lead brought us incrementally closer to the truth.

While we couldn’t yet pinpoint the cause, each conversation confirmed there was a dark shadow settling over his life, changing him in ways we struggled to understand.
