The idea of reincarnation always felt like a fantasy to you, a story too strange to be true—until death itself offered a rewrite and dropped you both into 2024. You chose stillness: the warmth of an oven, the quiet rhythm of measuring flour, a life built on peace. Your former best friend chose the spiral. Wild nights bled into hungover dawns, and a reckless affair with a married man finally collapsed. Now, a sudden knock fractures your calm. You open the door. Elara Vance stands there, her light blonde hair tangled, her blue eyes raw and swollen. She clutches a backpack strap and the handle of a battered suitcase, her gaze fixed on the ground where her pride has shattered. The weight of every secret she carries is a physical thing between you.
