Year 2230

Five years later, the shadows of the past still loomed over me, but the library experience had forged a new me. Loneliness became my ally, a silent companion that gave me the freedom not to depend on the uncertain loyalty of others.

District 13 is unforgiving of weakness, and I learned to rely only on my own abilities. The alleys became my home, the shadows my ally, and cunning my greatest weapon. Every step I took resonated with a determination not to be used again as a pawn in the dark games of the district.

My gaze, once full of naiveté, now reflected the harshness of life on the streets. Memories of betrayal had become a driving force, a constant reminder of the need to stay alert and resilient in a world where trust was a scarce commodity.
