[SAKURA]
Elif wasn't supposed to be choked by a name she had lived by for seven years before everything came to a stop in her life in the worst of ways. It was something that she had never been prepared for.
If she was being honest, this was not where she had imagined hearing it again. And that was how Elif knew she was in trouble for some reason, because that name was supposed to stay in the past, at least until she figured it all out.
It was her name, sure, but there was more to it.
That was a name that had given her a chance to meet Kiyomi. A name that had made her feel safer without having to relish her connections. It was the name that she had chosen for herself, and she loved that name more than anyone would ever comprehend.
But there was something about the way that Sakura had called her, something about what Sakura was saying, and her tone had Elif feeling unsettled.
There wasn't a thing she had done wrong, even as she was Elif Cankar.
