THE BEGINNING OF A PSYCHOPATHS WAR: **TWISTS THAT GO DEEP INTO THE PAST** "An Empty Edge" tells the story of Nathan Kessler, a man who hides his lack of real emotions behind a carefully crafted mask of charm and friendliness. Nathan is very good at pretending to be someone others like, but inside, he feels detached and empty. His life is all about control-making people believe in his fake persona while keeping his true self hidden. This changes when Lila, a new coworker, arrives. Lila is smart, observant, and not fooled by Nathan's charm. She watches him closely, which unsettles Nathan because he is used to being the one who observes others. Their relationship turns into a game where each tries to figure out the other, full of subtle tension and hidden challenges. As they interact, Nathan becomes increasingly focused on Lila. For the first time, someone makes him question his own mask and whether it might be breaking. Lila's sharp and mysterious nature fascinates him, but it also threatens the control he values so much. Their connection becomes a battle of minds, with both trying to stay ahead while revealing as little as possible. The story explores themes like how people hide their true selves, the need for control, and what happens when someone dares to look beneath the surface. It's a gripping, thought-provoking tale about identity and human nature.
