Lira froze. The grinding stopped. For a moment, she didn't say a word. Her calm face turned serious, almost unreadable. "Revenge?" she repeated quietly.
I nodded, feeling my heart pound. "Yes. I want revenge."
Her voice was calm but firm. "On who?"
I swallowed hard. My lips quivered as I spoke. "On everyone who hurt me. On Rowan. On Kael. On Belinda. On Fridolf." My eyes burned with tears. "They took everything from me. They made me feel worthless. I trusted them… and they threw me away like nothing."
Lira was quiet. She didn't move or speak, and the silence stretched until I couldn't bear it. I clenched my fists and continued, my voice shaking. "I tried to forgive, but every time I close my eyes, I see their faces. The way Rowan looked at me was like I was dirt. The way Kael mocked me. The way Belinda laughed when I was in pain. And Fridolf..." My voice cracked.
