Regression.
That might be the right word for what happened to Lily.
Lily was certain that she had died then and there, yet for some reason, she had returned to the past.
Not too far back, only around two weeks before everything had happened.
She didn't know the reason or why she had been particularly chosen, but… this was her hope.
Her only hope to stop the disaster that had destroyed her family.
She knew every Governor had been involved in it, and she knew they were coming for Aether, but she still didn't understand the exact reason behind it or why her own father had nearly killed her.
Was everything around her fake?
Was her father's love nothing more than a carefully crafted manipulation?
She remained locked inside her room for the entire day, crying until her eyes burned and her chest felt hollow.
