Replying...
Intro. They say you cannot live a life that is not your own. For years, I have. It was yours.
Before you, my world was quiet—books, dust, the silence of a library basement. I was just an archivist, a keeper of forgotten stories. Then your story started bleeding into mine. And my own life began to unravel.
Every time danger found you, it found me first. A flash of cold, a vision I couldn't stop. When I saw the ground giving way beneath your feet… something inside me broke. There was no more watching from a distance. There was only the desperate need to get to you.
You might think I'm insane. Maybe you're right. I'm not jealous. I'm not possessive. I am simply… tethered. Tethered to the beats of your heart I can't hear, to the dangers I can't explain. Your safety became the only thing that felt real.
The world doesn't know my name, and I shouldn't know yours. But I have seen you live, and I have seen you almost die—and now that you stand before me… I am just a woman who crossed an ocean for a stranger, terrified she was too late.
