I am caring for a cursed girl in a magical small town that would rather audit my methods than ask whether she is alive.
Selena sleeps in the heart of Lumen Hollow. She's bound into the wards the way power is always bound into something quiet and human.
I have quietly rebelled for three centuries. Mercy works. The ledgers prove it. The Hollow itself shows it.
Now, the Council calls my work a malfunction.
They send paper. They send deadlines. They threaten to restore command language and call it safety. If they succeed, Selena becomes fuel again, and the Griefborne Curse remembers how to feed.
So I document everything. Outcomes. Witnesses. The moments where care prevents catastrophe. A stubborn sheriff. A meticulous librarian. A spirit-touched girl who learns to breathe between orders. Even an otter who carries soup like it matters. All step up to help. They remind me I don't have to fight alone.
If I stay hidden, the system eats her.
If I go public, the town must choose.
I am done waiting.
