Chapter 32: The One You Love

Days had passed since her intense conversation with Cairo, yet the rage within Kara had not subsided. Throughout her life, she had carried the weight of her differences, questioning what was inherently wrong with her, why she stood apart from her own people.

Countless times she had turned to Cairo, sharing her deepest insecurities, seeking solace, only to be met with silence. In the darkness of many nights, she had shed tears of loneliness, craving understanding, yet Cairo had offered her comfort and reassurance, failing instead, to tell her the truth.

After learning that Cairo knew more that he let on all along, Kara found herself yearning for Eerik's presence. She longed to confide in him, to share the newfound revelations that had shaken her world.

However, every time she attempted to approach him, he was engrossed in activities with Acheron, barely sparing her a passing glance.
