TIARA THORNELLS
The moment Reina’s memories appeared before me, everything around me began to fade. Darkness crept into the corners of my vision, until it swallowed everything whole. A strange, overwhelming weakness spread through my entire body, like the energy was being drained from me all at once. My arms trembled, my legs gave out, and my knees buckled beneath me.

He held me close, steadying me against his chest.
And then... everything went black.
I fell into complete unconsciousness.
But in that darkness, I saw everything.
Reina’s memories played out again like watching someone else’s life unfold from the inside. Emotions
