(Late at night, alone in her penthouse, staring at her sister's file)
They told me I was strong. That I had survived something unthinkable. That I should be grateful I made it out at all.
But survival isn't strength. It's just inertia.
Strength is looking into the abyss and seeing your own face staring back. Strength is realizing you've been fighting shadows when the real monster was always inside the mirror.
My sister vanished two years ago. They said it was an accident. Then another woman disappeared. Then another. All brunettes. All beautiful. All connected to him. To Lucas Kane .
When he walked into my office, I thought he was the killer. The predator. The villain in this story.
But now? Now I don't know who I am anymore.
I've worn masks all my life-the doctor, the survivor, the good girl who follows the rules. But the deeper I go, the more I see: the rules were never meant to protect us. They were meant to keep us blind.
So now I fight. Not for justice. Not even for revenge.
I fight because I finally understand-
The only way to kill a ghost... is to become one yourself.
