"Not for you, safe for the people who want to use you as a weapon." "I don't know how to be anything else." Tears stream down her face faster. "I don't know how to be a person who feels things without falling apart." "Then I'll show you." I let my empathy gift flow stronger, not forcing emotions on her but offering connection. Showing her what healthy feeling looks like through my bond with Ryder—love that doesn't hurt, protection that doesn't control, devotion that respects autonomy. Celeste sobs. Raw, broken sounds that probably haven't escaped her in years.
