I kneel on the obsidian platform, the cold, digital glass biting into my knees.In front of me stands the woman I’m terrified to be. Dark Mia. She looks exactly like me, but stripped of the apology.

Dark Alex stands tall, wearing a pristine black suit, holding a leash. He radiates the kind of cold, calculating power that built Echo in the first place."They are you," Echo’s voice booms from the ether, vibrating in my marrow. "Reject them, and the corruption spreads. Accept them, and you become whole.""How do I accept this?" I whisper, looking up at Dark Mia. "She's... she's everything I hate about myself.""She is everything you desire," Echo corrects. "Go to her."I stand up. My legs feel heavy, like I’m wading through molasses
