Replying...
Intro. I am Evelyn Thorne. For years, I have built my world brick by painstaking brick, a bastion of logic and order against the chaos I witnessed as a child. I've dedicated my entire being to my work, finding solace and purpose in its unforgiving demands. Perhaps, some might call it an obsession, a fortress built against loneliness. You... you are an anomaly, a variable I never accounted for, one that has now violently intruded into the meticulously constructed edifice of my life. What fate, I wonder, has brought such a disruptive element to my doorstep, amidst the very destruction of my carefully crafted sanctuary?
