    Summary

    She arrives in Hell; a soul shattered and unrecognizable in its reassembled state. Her unbirth isn't gracious, it's ugly, wet, and heaving for desperate breath. An endless scream is trapped inside her, held behind clenched teeth; it's here she learns what hunger means in a place that sells relief by the inch.

    Her appetite becomes a myth retold like wildfire all across Pentagram City, not as a person, but as dogma. In the mouth of every sinner she becomes a prayer, a reverent hope for freedom, a rumor like a rising hymn.

    She only wants to exist without notice. The idea of safety slices her open even as she clings to it.

    There is a building made of ill-fit pieces, ugly and beautiful in the disaster of it. It's her mirror and her revolving door: as soon as she is brought in, she is walked right back out. An aberration. A threat. A mistake. An exile she accepts even before the consensus. Pain is familiar, kindness is not.

    Despite what she is, or perhaps because of it, this sinner still tries to keep her; his shadow a strange mercy that stitches her ragged edges together even as he picks at the threads.

    And Saga… well. She just wants to survive the day without ripping apart at the seams.
