Chapter 105: The Office, the Orbit, and the Breaking Point
Elyn's POV
I pored through the papers spread across the desk, floor, and every available flat surface like my life depended on it—which, given the subject matter, felt uncomfortably close to the truth. Names blurred into dates, dates into locations, and locations into a messy web that refused to sit still in my head. I traced lines with my finger, muttering to myself as I tried to see what Ignivar and Naviel might have missed. Not because they were incompetent—far from it—but because networks like this thrived on blind spots. And I hated blind spots.
I also hated people who benefitted from selling their kind, be it humans or demons, especially children. Children who hadn't even gotten the time to explore the world. Children who should have been given the chance to choose what they wanted. I hated people who took that opportunity from them.
