Prologue – Read It Again
Still here?
Shit. You really are stubborn.
You’ve crawled this far through my mess, my magic, my monsters—and now you’re staring at the page like it won’t bite.
You ever wonder what happens if you read something twice?
If the words remember you?
Because they do.
And this page? This fucking page bleeds.
It’s bound in the Veil itself—stitched with whispers, inked in blood.
Mine. Hers. Maybe even yours, if you’re not careful.
A million reasons to stay dead.
I carved them in the breast of my heart.
We meet in pieces—never whole, never clean.
Sin found me first.
There’s someone at the door again.
I don’t open it anymore.
I hold the rot like it’s sacred.
I whisper to the ghosts:
this one means forever.
So go on.
Read it again.
Whisper the words. Let them crawl in.
You made it this far.
What’s one more scar?
