Outside the door, Heather leaned against the wall with her hand over her mouth and her eyes wet, glaring at anyone who got within six feet like she’d personally rip their throats out for interrupting. Down the hall, Melody whispered to Liam, “Something’s coming,” and Liam whispered back, “Then we’re already in position.” In the clearing by the scar, Ash still knelt in the dirt, head bowed. Waiting. Listening. And somewhere in the deep place beyond the Veil — or maybe under the ground

He stood firm, every muscle coiled, every movement calculated, every instinct aligned with the safety of the group. And I… I faced the shadow of myself, distorted, twisted into a reflection of my fears and weaknesses. It whispered, taunted, and tried to manipulate me into betraying the others. But I refused. I clutched the flash drive, focusing on Elliot’s unwavering gaze, Marcus’s precision, Liam’s protective presence.

The chamber shook violently as the shadows screeched and twisted, then finally dissipated into harmless mist
