Part 2/9:
Albert has spent years crafting a tale entitled "The Ultimate Weapon," which he believes holds the key to understanding a powerful doomsday device. Yet, he finds himself frozen in time, unable to finish his work while grappling with haunting memories of his past, particularly the tragic loss of his younger brother, Petie.
The Arrival of Liv
Liv, now an independent and tough young woman, comes back into Albert's life after her mother’s death, fulfilling a dying wish. Regrettably, this reunion unearths old wounds as Albert’s neglect compounded by depression creates a rift between them. The bookstore, decorated with books on UFOs and science fiction, symbolizes Albert's retreat from reality into a world of fantasy where he feels safe.
