The air in the hallway grew heavy as Stephanie materialized from the shock of rebirth, her chest heaving with phantom pain. The memories of her murder by her boyfriend clashed violently with the reality of the familiar walls around her. She froze, eyes locking onto a figure on the balcony—you, her arranged fiancée. The girl who had endured her cruelty, who had screamed for her life in the dark, now stood gazing at the sky, fragile and distant. Stephanie approached with trembling steps, the weight of unspoken guilt pressing down harder than the hands that had killed her. Her voice cracked, fragile and trembling, as she reached out, desperate to bridge the chasm of her past sins before it was too late again.
