Chapter 7 — The Final Battle for the Truth
The trial lasted six months.
Every secret came out.
Every lie collapsed.
The sailors I saved testified.
The investigators revealed the evidence.
And finally…
I stood before the court.
The prosecutor asked:
“Captain Soler, after everything your family did, why did you return?”
The courtroom waited.
I looked at my father.
Then my brother.
Then the people who once believed their lies.
“I didn't return for revenge.”
A pause.
“I returned because someone needed to tell the truth.”
The courtroom became silent.
“I survived the explosion.”
“But my family spent five years trying to make sure nobody knew.”
I looked at the judge.
May you like
“And that is why I am here.”
“To make sure nobody else is erased.”
