The year was 1986. The people marched with rosaries, not rifles. A dictator fled, democracy was declared reborn, and the air smelled of hope. But they never told us what happened after.

Decades later, the monsters didn’t vanish — they wore better suits, learned better lies, and bought the silence of the poor with promises and propaganda.

We thought we won.

We were wrong.

Now, the cities lie in ruins, ruled by shadows hiding behind flags. The real revolution never ended — it just changed names.

And in the darkness, someone is watching. Waiting.

For the reckoning to begin.
