The table had taken her stand. The call had taken the last lie she had been using to stay gone. Now the old life was back in the book. And the next fight was how she got to those children without giving Jimmy the wife he wanted and without letting Hale keep her until “soon” turned into never.

She had understood that the foundation was not a project but a natural expression of someone who had discovered what happened when you stopped accepting the available version of your life and built the correct one. She had understood that Silas was not a love story but a structural element. Not reducing him. Elevating the idea of what a structural element was. She had understood that Eleanor and Edmund were not prodigies. They were children who had been given the correct conditions. She had understood, in the final chapter, that the measure of a life was not what it produced directly but what it made possible in the lives it touched. I called her. "Publish it," I said. “Are you certain?" she

The sharp look in my eyes made her avert her gaze, too scared to hold mine. The tension grew in the silence. I knew Naomi was at war with herself. She was weighing the value of her life against that absurd pride she'd built by trampling on my dignity. In the end, her desperation to live won. "Fine…" Naomi feebly squeezed out the word through clenched jaws. "I'll do it."

Then, she walked into my room. My exercise book, filled with lines from Shakespeare, was still lying open on my desk. She would even make me memorize the quote, word for word, and ultimately remind me again and again that I was nothing more than a dog. She wanted me to never forget it. I was the scapegoat, the "sacrificial" dog, whose only purpose in life was to serve as an example for Esther and Emily, reminding them never to make a mistake. Mom picked up my exercise book and flipped through the pages, her tears blurring out the writing in it. Then, she brought the book with her and went over to the tank before climbing in.

"Your life was already a complete mess to begin with! If it weren't for my daughter, who knows which slum you'd be struggling to survive in right now? It was my daughter who gave you the life you have now. But how do you repay her—" "It was also your daughter who killed my mother!" I snarled, my voice dropping to a harsh rumble. "If I had never met her, I wouldn't have been dragged into this mess for no reason. I wouldn't have spent so many years being misunderstood and vilified by everyone! "Yes, Daniella lost her legs, but she can still live a good life! But my mom's gone! She's dead! My home was destroyed as well! I have nothing left!"

“She’s not coming back. Not even if they catch Peter, nor if the world outside becomes the safest place on Earth. She found a life where she isn’t ‘the survivor’ but simply ‘Sara.’ And that’s enough.” It hurts to know I won’t have her by my side to share afternoon tea, but the relief of knowing she breathes the pure mountain air, far from the shadows of London, outweighs any of my selfishness. She was alive. And in this script, the universe imposed on us, life was the greatest of victories. “Hey, birthday girl! Stop philosophizing and come help with the dishes!”

She blinked, and it felt like it was in slow motion. It felt like she was in a movie. Oh, how she wished that she were. But the thing here was that…she was not. The hard truth was that this was real life; that this was her life. With the way everything was going, she knew that she could not do sh*t anymore to fix them. Everything was now wrong. And she knew that no matter what she would do, nothing was going to change or get better. As an omega, why did she ever expect life to be good for her? She should have known better. She should have expected nothing.

Not just some girl I’d claimed because she was pretty and easy to do away with later. She was becoming something else. A being, reborn not from love of mercy —but from trauma. Every death shared a layer; every resurrection sharpened her essence. And now she was on her third life. “What? I'm fucked."
