Averted Gaze R Manhua

Dahye's heart raced as she crept down the darkened hallway of her family home, the only sound her ragged breaths echoing off the walls. She clutched a faded photo in her trembling hands, the image of her and Dawoon smiling innocently now a stark reminder of darker times. The air grew colder as she approached Dawoon's room, the door ominously ajar. With a deep breath, she pushed it open, the creaking hinges breaking the silence like a thunderclap. What she saw inside made her blood run cold. Dawoon stood in the center of the room, his back to her, shoulders hunched in an unnatural posture. Without turning around, he spoke in a voice that sent shivers down her spine, "I've been waiting for you, Dahye." Fear and determination warred within her as she stepped forward, her voice barely above a whisper, "What have you done, Dawoon? What darkness have you embraced?" Slowly, he turned to face her, his eyes empty of emotion, a twisted smile playing on his lips. In that moment, Dahye saw not her brother, but a stranger devoid of humanity, consumed by a malevolent force she couldn't comprehend. As the shadows lengthened around them, a sense of foreboding crept over Dahye. She knew then that the true horror lay not in the unknown, but in the revelation of what lurked within the ones she loved. With a trembling hand, she reached for the truth, ready to confront the monster in her midst, no matter the cost.
