Chapter 1

The new air traffic control intern, eager to cultivate an image as a prodigy, volunteered to direct flights from the control tower.

However, due to her lack of experience and poor judgment, she issued a takeoff command despite interference signals, causing a collision between the departing plane and another aircraft that was about to land.

Afterwards, she threw herself into my boyfriend's arms, sobbing:

"I didn't mean to, it was my first time and I was so nervous..."

My boyfriend held her close, comforting her:

"Everyone makes mistakes their first time. Don't worry about it."

"You'll get better with more experience."

Those passengers on the planes were moments away from reuniting with their families. But their lives were forever frozen in that instant.

Shaking with anger, I slapped her:

"Those were human lives! Not some game you're playing!"

"Your carelessness killed everyone on two planes!"

The intern was overcome with shame, wailing that she would atone with her own death.

To protect her, my boyfriend and the team leader pushed me out as the scapegoat.

The leader secretly altered the duty logs and bribed everyone to fabricate evidence against me.

At the press conference, my boyfriend publicly revealed "information" pinning all responsibility on me.

Public outrage erupted. I was fired by the company and blacklisted across the industry. Grief-stricken families of the victims stabbed me 38 times until I died.

When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day of the intern's fatal mistake.
