They had tried to come for me. They thought I was still weak, damaged. Someone had tried to kill me...again. I was getting tired of this. They hadn’t been prepared for me to build relationships, to no longer be alone. They continued to underestimate me. I loved proving them wrong. Secrets threaten to shake me, to break me and as I uncover more of my past, each step leads me closer to the Council. I’m just not sure I want to know anymore. Their reach extends beyond anything I’d been prepared for. People from my past return, shaking me to my core. I thought I was learning to trust, but with each revelation, I’m left wondering if I know anyone at all. Some relationships are growing, but others I had thought were solid, seem to dissipate into nothing. Training with Henry has been my only solace, and falling back into our routines strengthens me. The expo is looming, and it may be our best chance to put a stop to the Council. We just have to find a way to work together—all of us. I came to TAS to find the truth, but it just might finally shatter me.
