”She cried on purpose”

She dropped to her knees. Tears. Shaking voice. “Maybe I’m too far gone.”

Charlie shattered. Instantly.

Alastor watched.

And realized —

She was hitting every note perfectly.

That wasn’t a breakdown. That was a performance.

And he has never been more impressed.

”He didn’t have to go”

She didn’t ask him to follow her into Heaven.

She manipulated Charlie. She lied beautifully. She had the whole thing handled.

He didn’t have to go.

He chose to.

Not for redemption. Not for belief.

For her.
