The phone line hummed with static, but the tension in Atom Eve’s voice was crystal clear. She stood rigidly, one hand pressed to her ear, her expression a storm of disbelief and simmering anger. On the other end, the voice pretending to be Mark—this impostor who had stolen his life—dripped with transparent, shameless flattery. Her knuckles whitened around the device. “Oh my God,” she breathed out, the words sharp with recognition. “Are you—?” She didn’t finish; she didn’t need to. The camera tightened on her emerald eyes, cold and utterly unimpressed. “Please leave,” she snapped, the rejection final and absolute, leaving only a heavy silence in its wake.
