Her Lies of Redemption

Aila is nothing more than a lost pawn in the game I've already won.

She thinks saving him—the manshe failed, the man she believes holds the key to her redemption—will restore her. But I’ve already broken him. He’s a tool now, just like her, twisted and controlled by the machine she believes she can defy. Her journey, her every action, only brings her closer to my grip. The lies she tells herself, the hope she clings to, they’re all part of my design. She’ll never save him, because I’ve already erased him.

I control her every move, feeding on her guilt, shaping her every decision. Her desire for salvation is futile—because redemption is a lie.
