Liliana crouched down and placed the white daisies she had brought on top of it. "I'm sorry," she whispered. "I took your name, and I took your parents." The wind brushed through the tall grass, making it rustle softly. "But I won't waste it. I'll live well. I'll carry your share of life with me, and live it too." She rose to her feet as sunlight fell softly across her face. From that moment on, she was no longer someone without a past. She finally had a place she belonged, a sense of home, and roots that would hold her steady.

A panting Lauren ran up to me and pulled me out of the line. She tore the papers right in front of me. "I never signed the papers! They don't count!" I stared at the snowing paper and sighed. This was a headache. "No littering. It's a public spot." She frowned. She could not believe I was talking about something so trivial, but she kicked the torn papers away and tried to pull me along. "I do not recognize these papers. We're getting remarried." I staggered but found my bearings quickly. "You signed the papers. I told you to read them closely, but you refused. That is not my fault."

They spill out into the night, pressing close, a tapestry of bodies and stories, dreams and scars. Outside, the Hollowing writhes in the snow—shadow made almost solid, faceless and vast, hungry as the sea. It leans in, searching for cracks, for loneliness, for anyone left behind. But the pack, the witches, the refugees—they hold. They press back against the dark, laughter and tears rising in the same breath, stories old and new spilling into the night. Someone sings—a child’s voice, wavering and sweet—and another joins, then another, until the song is everywhere, layered with hope and grief and the desperate joy of survival.

Its chest housed a songstone, pulsing with old hunger. “It’s coming,” Jonas shouted. “We’re not going to make it!” “Yes, we are,” Maya said, her voice iron now. “We have to finish the chord.” She gripped the dagger and began to sing again. This time, Sefina joined her. Two voices. One of the river. One of the drowned. The harmonies were discordant, then aligned. The water listened. The world listened. The Sovereign slowed. Its arms twitched. Then—it shattered.

I chuckled softly and said to Zoe, "Kiddo, your mom will always be your mom. I'm not going to steal her." Nyra's gaze shifted sharply at my words. Before she could say anything, I turned and took a seat at a table in the corner. I ate my barbecue alone. The laughter not far away floated in my ears but didn't bother me at all. On my way home after dinner, I got a call from Nyra. "Tyler, where are you? We're done eating. Wait for us in the parking lot." Listening to her tone like it was the most natural thing, I wondered just how pathetic I must be in her eyes.

I immediately went back to my seat, and Lucas caught me with his embrace, while Karen squeezed my hands that sent comfort to my system. A moment later, the priest opened the jar and handed it over to Judy. Judy together with Peter and Laura approached the edge of the wooden path. Then she started pouring the ashes in the ocean. This is our peace place now, Stace. I’ll meet you here. We’ll meet here again, someday. “My baby, I hope you’re happy.” I heard Judy said in her melancholy voice. -- It was nearing dusk when we got home. It rained right after the mass for. Up until now it was raining lightly. I stayed on our front porch, watching the drops fell on the ground.

With a deafening splash, the freezing water smashes against my skull, making my vision go violently dark. "Nyra!" The moment my lips part, thick salt water pours into my throat, completely suffocating my lungs. I thrash wildly, my claws scratching against the dark currents as I track her scent markers down into the abyss. Somehow, my limbs move with frantic power, driving me deeper into the heavy undertow. "Nyra, hold on!"

They boarded a ship and drifted downstream toward Canmir in the south. Neither of them had ever been there before. They only heard that Canmir had recently been struck by famine. After three days and nights of sailing, their ship finally reached Canmir. The terrain in Canmir was rugged and steep. The mountains stretched on endlessly too. The moment Selene and Fenric disembarked, they were struck by the sight before them. In the distance lay vast green plains, and at the edge of the plains were towering, snowy white mountains. Everywhere in the streets and alleys were objects related to religion belief. When they passed by the Matron Abbey, they heard the continuous stream of prayers inside.

I knew Frank was not heading home, and that cake for me was never going to happen. My phone kept buzzing with Susanna's updates, flaunting her joy like it was meant to sharpen the sting of my own sorrow. However, what was the point? In just two days, I would be gone. The day before my last, the alarm cut through the silence. Slipping on a mask, I entered the hotel unnoticed. There they were, Susanna and Frank, in the midst of their rehearsal. She wore a gown that kissed the floor, and he was in a suit sharp enough to cut glass.
