A year after the mysterious disappearance of John McKenny, Rogen Green, and Dylan J. Artwright, Eliza Henderson still couldn't forget her best friend, Miles. With each passing day, the sadness deepened in her heart, and the image of Miles, with his bright smile and restless spirit, haunted her dreams and thoughts. Anger also grew within her, fueled by the memory of how her three former classmates had taken his life in such a horrific way, just for fun, just out of boredom. The injustice of the situation consumed her, and she desperately longed for someone to bring justice, for someone to find answers.

But the situation became even more complicated when she discovered that the three bullies—John, Rogen, and Dylan—had vanished without a trace, as if they had been swallowed by the earth. There were no clues, no witnesses, no sign of their whereabouts. Helplessness and frustration overwhelmed her, and the weight of her loss kept her from sleeping soundly. Every night, memories of Miles haunted her: his laughter, his dreams, their friendship shattered by the cruelty of others. Sadness became a constant shadow, looming over her, preventing her from finding peace.

One Saturday afternoon, driven by desperation and a desperate need for answers, Eliza decided to visit John McKenny's old house. Perhaps there, among the forgotten objects and walls that had once heard laughter and secrets, she might find a clue. Upon arriving, she was surprised to find she wasn't alone. Inside the house were two girls her age, carefully searching every corner. One introduced herself as Jessica McKenny, John's sister, her eyes filled with worry and sorrow. The other, Olivia Artwright, was Dylan's sister, her expression equally uneasy but determined. They both told her they were looking for their brothers and Roger, who had been missing for months.

Eliza, her voice trembling, asked them why her brothers and Roger had killed Miles. Jessica and Olivia exchanged glances, and finally, Jessica began to speak in a low, pained tone. They revealed that, in their childhood, John, Rogen, and Dylan had suffered terrible abuse at the hands of their alcoholic parents. This abuse, the constant violence, and the lack of love had scarred their lives and transformed their personalities. The three young men, in their despair and confusion, had developed an aggression that later turned into violence toward others. The tragedy had not only destroyed them but had also destroyed Miles, who had been a victim of their attacks at a fatal moment.

After the confession, Jessica asked Eliza if she wanted to help them discover what had happened to their brothers and Rogen, if there was still any hope of finding answers. Without hesitation, Eliza agreed, feeling it was her duty, even though fear and uncertainty gripped her.

For hours, they searched the house, going through old papers, photos, and objects that might offer a clue. At first, they found nothing out of the ordinary, but Olivia insisted on checking John's computer. When she started exploring the files, her face lit up with surprise: she had found a file on the desktop titled "Mario_2004.exe". The young woman felt a mixture of curiosity and fear. When Eliza read the file name, a spark of recognition ignited in her memory: that was the name of the fangame Miles had created 21 years earlier.

They rushed to the computer together and carefully ran the file. The screen went black for a few seconds, and then a message appeared in bright red letters:

"UP FOR ROUND 2?"

The atmosphere grew tense, and a chill ran through their bodies. They knew this couldn't be a coincidence, that perhaps Miles had left some hidden message, some clue to guide them in their search. But they also knew they were entering dangerous territory, where the unknown and the mysterious intertwined with their worst fears.

Eliza, Jessica, and Olivia looked at each other with determination. Miles' story, and now that of his own siblings as well, was filled with dark secrets and open wounds. But they were determined to keep searching, no matter what they found in that labyrinth of shadows and memories. Because, deep down, they knew that only in this way could they honor Miles' memory and perhaps find the justice they so desperately longed for...
