Clara stepped closer. “What are we seeing?” Mahrun’s voice had changed—deeper, like another soul was speaking through him. “You are seeing the Seed’s cycle. It chooses vessels. It splits timelines.

White roses fell into the coffin before he was buried. Behind the sunglasses, Valeria and Erika looked at each other. Without Valeria knowing it, she made the promise to finish that revenge soon. Valeria was not going to take the life of anyone else. Without Erika knowing it, she made the promise to make her regret the day she decided to start that revenge.

We’re going to Blackthorn Ridge camping grounds, nowhere near Winchester. I’ll be careful. We’ll watch out for each other.” She pulled me into a tight hug, then kissed my forehead. “Text me every night. I love you, baby.” “I love you too.” I said goodbye to my stepfather with a quick, awkward wave. His hand brushed my lower back a little too low as I turned to leave.

It landed on the picture again, and as Flora was facing the photo, she saw the insect, she smiled subconsciously. "Hey..." Flora greeted softly. "Shall I have this Damien Castle for my guide?"
