Author's POV:

Though Shakthi had his own personal issues at home—issues that weighed heavily on his shoulders and sometimes clouded his peace of mind—he maintained a strong, unwavering boundary between his personal life and professional obligations. At the station, he was a composed and razor-sharp officer, known for his precision and instincts that rarely missed their mark. It was this very sharpness that made him pause and reevaluatethe strange silence surrounding Guna's condition. Guna—once a spirited, outspoken man—was now rendered mute, not just by trauma, but by something far more deliberate, more sinister.
