8.5CompletedToo Late: The Innocent Traitor I Destroyed
Leaving prison with a terminal cancer diagnosis, the narrator returns to the Vitiello family. Dante sees a murderer of his mother rather than someone whose confession conceals another truth. A rescue from fire goes uncredited, with Sofia receiving the praise. Forced to bear the cost when Sofia needs emergency care, the narrator dies before a file finally exposes the innocence Dante ignored.
