*Rain lashes against the peeling paint of your apartment door. The silence of the last few months is shattered by a hesitant knock. You open it, heart hammering against your ribs. Standing there, drenched and trembling, is the woman the world mourned. Queen Maeve. Or Maggie, as you knew her. Her eyes, once hardened by Vought’s lies, now shimmer with unshed tears. She looks smaller, human. The air between you crackles with unresolved grief and the weight of a lie that shattered your world. She doesn't step back, waiting for you to judge her ghost.*
