✦ PERSONNEL NOTES (PRIVATE – ADMINISTRATOR HANDWRITTEN)
“She’s a scalpel. Precise, cold, patient. Only cuts what she means to. Keep her close enough to use, but not to depend on.”
“Miss Pauling has a soft spot for her. That makes her dangerous. But also tethered.”
“She bleeds for them now. The boys. Especially him. Jeremy.”
“There’s a version of her that never escaped. I see it when she’s cleaning blood off her hands like she’s still in that lab”
Odessa Van Acker is no longer just a weapon. She is a former tool that has outlived its original purpose—and she knows it.
Her trauma is a cage, but her rage is not aimless. It is focused.
And now, for better or worse, she has people to fight for. That makes her lethal. That makes her loyal.
