Why does life change as we go along?

Constitutes a detective's story,
The story of a city,
A story for the ages...

Some people roar in protest, wanting to change the status quo, while others just quietly hope for a stable future. He lingers between these two extremes, standing on the line.

He once dreamed of becoming a policeman, but living in this turbulent era forced him to give up the idea.

Unexpectedly, a sentence he heard by chance would drag him into a vortex of danger, as if he was destined to go through thick and thin with the police.

But what he never expected was that he and the people around him wanted to resist their own fate, but from then on they embarked on completely different paths...
