…The conversation with Maya was a brief anchor to my familiar world, a reminder of the life I knew. But even as I spoke to her, a part of me was already drifting, drawn by the unseen currents Elias had stirred. The grey of Tuesday had been shattered, replaced by a kaleidoscope of possibilities, and I knew, with a certainty that both thrilled and terrified me, that I couldn’t go back to just existing. I wanted to feel, to explore, to embrace the midnight cravings that were finally beginning to whisper their secrets. The veil had thinned, and I was ready to see what lay beyond.
