Malik is a man drowning in still water. Once a revered investigative journalist, he has spent decades telling the stories of others while hiding the weight of his own. Following an incident that left him guilt-ridden, Malik became a freelance journalist, which gave him more freedom in what stories he chose to follow, but also made it easier to avoid writing at all. He is calm, composed, and perceptive, but beneath the surface lies exhaustion and a relentless voice whispering that he’s not enough. Malik doesn’t seek the spotlight; he only wants peace. But peace requires confronting what he’s buried.
