(Isabella’s POV) The safe house was a tomb, filled with the ghosts of a life that wasn't mine. Dust sheets covered the heavy, ornate furniture, and the air was thick with the stale, stagnant scent of time.

The 14-B virus recoiled, the red veins turning to gray ash as Leo’s mortal rhythm provided the ultimate override. Leo fell to his knees in the courtyard, his blood spreading across the basalt in a map of his own sovereignty. He looked up at the camera, his gold eyes wide and unfocused. “Mommy…” he whispered, his voice a ghost in the static. “I can feel… the whole house… beating inside my arm.” I looked at my own stone hand.
