It was like being handed someone else's life at full volume with no preparation, images and sensations and emotions arriving all at once in no order, overlapping, fighting for space. A restaurant. A ring box. A woman walking away. A desk. Files. A pen moving across a notebook page in small precise handwriting. A warehouse. Darkness. A knife. A baby she was trying to protect and couldn't. A man on one knee in a red tux calling a different name. Pain. So much pain. Not physical, the other kind, the kind that takes longer to kill you and does a more thorough job. And underneath all of it, threaded through every image like a current, the same wish I had made.

He made it clear there's nothing in this world he can't find out if he wants to," Thiago reminded Cassian.

“Ava, you know I don’t buy into your supernatural theories.” Ava sighed, “I said I grew up in a family that knows too much, and I know when something isn’t right.” Luna held her gaze, torn between skepticism and the nagging unease she refused to acknowledge. Ava sat back, exhaling. “Just promise me one thing.” “What?” “Be careful around Deverell Blackwood.” Luna scoffed. “Trust me, that won’t be a problem.” But Ava’s expression didn’t change. She knew what she saw. And something about Deverell wasn’t human. Because she knew, very well, that there exist others along with humans in this world. She had seen them.

"I'm completely alone in this room. The walls are so white and it's so cold, baby... please. I don't want to die with all of you hating me." I didn't blink. My subtle action of sliding my thumb closer to the glass was the only movement in the quiet office.

Not because I've earned redemption. because I finally understand. Life isn't meant to be owned, manipulated, or forced into shape. It's meant to be lived. Gently. Quietly.

Henry was tortured so badly that he was almost unrecognizable, but the date stamp showed it wasn't from this year. "According to the criminal's statement, Henry was near death in the second year after they fled to Northern Myralis. So Joanna sold his organs, one by one," the officer explained. Henry was dead. He probably never understood why Joanna, the woman he once loved and trusted, had done this to him. But I did. I had once stumbled upon Dad's old notebook.

Everyone was stupefied when they heard that Zachary had defended his first love and gotten her acquitted of all charges when she had killed his mother. "What kind of a son does that? And here I thought my son was bad enough for still relying on me financially!" "You know what's worse? He's married! It was his wife who handled the funeral alone!" "He looks like a decent young man.
