That night, I locked myself in their guest bathroom and scrubbed my face until it burned — not because it was dirty, but because I felt wrong inside my own skin. Now, kneeling on my bedroom floor, I picked up the broken pieces of the mug — small shards, glittering like little truths. The handle had snapped clean off. And I thought: That’s what they did to me. Not in one cruel blow. But in a thousand small ways. A glance. A correction. A sigh. Each one a tiny fracture, until I believed I was already shattered. They would look at me — broken, scattered — and say, “Look what you did. You can’t fix this.”

She cried for the dreams that had been shattered, for the illusions that had been torn away, leaving her with nothing but a hollow emptiness. When the tears finally subsided, Elara was left with a heavy sense of resignation. She had to face the truth—Cassia was right.

The memory danced just out of reach, frustratingly elusive, but every thought of it sent waves of panic crashing over me. My hands shook as I tugged at my hair and pressed my face into my palms, as if I could somehow erase the shame with sheer force of will. But it was inescapable. It was everywhere—on every screen, in every comment, in every whispered voice I imagined behind me. Hours past, or maybe minutes. In this haze of shame, time had completely lost its meaning. My phone buzzed non-stop, vibrating with a flood of messages, notifications, and reminders of my supposed mistakes. I just couldn’t bring myself to respond. The thought of facing anyone felt unbearable.

She jabbed her finger at Julia and cursed, "Julia, I always thought you seemed gentle and kind, but who knew you were this sort of person? You do something vile and then pin it on a child? Do you have no shame at all? No wonder you’ve been chasing after a married man, wrecking his home. This is your true nature." Her words flipped the entire room.

And I wasn’t sure how long I sat here, swallowed by the turbulence of my mind but it seemed long enough not to have noticed until he spoke.

“She’s not here to destroy you. She is you.” They’re all here. All routing for me. All believing in me. That breaks me. I let go with a scream. It’s loud and guttural as the shift takes hold of me. I vaguely hear shouting, but I have no idea who it is or what they’re saying. I can’t focus on anything but my body being torn apart and reformed. My vision explodes with bright light, blinding me.
