    I slide it onto my finger, letting it settle with the ease of something meant to be there. My hand closes around the knife next, its polished surface reflecting fragments of the room. A tool and a talisman, both elegant and deadly. I tuck it into my bag, the silver blade snug and familiar against t

    But now, I wear them with a new purpose. Not to hide, but to embrace. Not as a lie, but as a truth that holds multitudes. I close the bag, and the click of the zipper is decisive, final. The city begins to pulse with the energy of another day, oblivious to the new life and the old threats I am abou

    The first slice of morning cuts across the room, pale and merciless. Cold air moves through the cracked window, tousling papers and lifting the edges of my hair.

    He extends his bleeding hand, palm upward, an invitation rather than a demand. I meet it with my own, our hands pressing together as blood mingles between our skin.
