    *I want you to know—I'm still here. Still waiting. Still believing that someday you'll understand what I was trying to do. Not the manipulation. Not the obsession.

    "Don't read it," Nova said. "Burn it. Don't give him the satisfaction." But Elena insisted. "I need to know what he's saying. What he's planning." We opened it together. Three pages, handwritten, his careful script. *Dear Elena,* *I know you won't want to hear from me. I understand. I've thought

    POV: Kai Six months after Darren's sentencing, life almost felt normal again. Almost. I stood in the doorway of the studio's main space, watching Elena lead a workshop for younger students. She was fourteen now, more confident, teaching them about music theory and performance anxiety. Twenty kids

    POV: Elena My documentary had thirty million views by the time Darren's parole hearing happened three days later. I sat in the courtroom between Mom and Dad, watching him in his orange jumpsuit.
