AUTHOR’S NOTE: A Warning Before We Continue.
The last two chapters mark the beginning of a shift.
As stated in the synopsis, these characters are morally complex—and we’re about to start peeling back the layers. Things are about to get messy. Unhinged. Darker than before.
Every character is stepping into their truest form, from which they can either grow better or worse.
Choices will be made. Lines will be crossed. And not everyone will come out clean.
If you’re here for the ride, buckle up.
You’ve been warned.
