…The decision bloomed in the silence of my mind, not a choice born of impulse, but of a terrible, undeniable logic. There was no way out. Only a descent. A surrender. I turned to Sarah, my voice surprisingly steady. “It’s okay,” I said, the words a balm I could no longer offer. “It’s going to be okay.” She looked at me, her eyes searching, unfocused.

And then, there was only the wind, the roar, and the infinite, terrifying sky. The echo of my fall had begun.
