In the total darkness outside the light, Lyra felt as though the walls were closing in. This was the sensory deprivation she had asked for—the stripping away of the world until there was nothing left but the raw, uncomfortable truth of the person sitting across from you.

Nathaniel’s silences had been sharp, strategic. A weapon more painful than his words. But here, in Alexander’s home, my home now, though the thought still made my chest bloom with something fragile and new, silence had become a blanket. A soft hum beneath the rhythm of daily life. The kettle whistled. Sunlight spilled through the windows. Sophie hummed under her breath as she colored in her workbook at the dining table.

The Echoes roamed unseen, whispering through wind and dream, guardians of a world that had forgotten why it sang. And in a small village near the edge of the Dawnlands, a child was born.

Because in this house, I’m the one who controls the silence." ​The night stretched out before me, long and jagged. I didn't go to bed. I didn't close my eyes.
