All of Rozi's assumptions of the Creator being behind it all were supported with evidence. "I can understand most of what you've said, that the Creator can somehow reset this world and our memories. There's a chance that this tragedy will happen to us one day." Adrian was unable to fathom that his life and his memories were at the mercy of others. Night had arrived.

They're the ones treating me as well as trying to make me blind. The flashbacks came back to me at an outstanding speed, I glanced at the state my body was in, my wrists were twice as smaller, I shifted under the cover and flinched feeling the evident bones in my knees and ankles. How long has it been since that god-awful day? What about Kevin?, Did Dawn kill him?.No she knows that'll shave her hair off if she does that, she must have found out about us.

Gone is the flimsy girl who once cried herself to sleep, who once felt like her world was ending. In her place stands a corporate lawyer, whom people look up to, while her opponents shiver in fear at the sight of her. I smiled softly at my reflection, pride swelling in my chest. I’ve come a long way. But as I stepped out of the hall, examining my surroundings, and admiring how far Aphrodite City has progressed, memories of the past began to sneak back in. This city holds so many ghosts for me—so many moments of pain and loss. I left this place swearing I’d never return, yet here I am, on my terms.

“Let them try to snatch a child from a building full of witnesses and cameras.” Frank drove us back down the mountain, his vigilance a palpable force in the car.

I leaned back in my chair, the leather creaking softly beneath me, and looked out at the city through the glass wall. The city belonged to me. Every light, every building, every shadow carried my mark. I had bled for it. I had buried men for it. I had killed for it. And now someone wanted to take it from me quietly.
