This chapter gripped me by the throat and didn’t let go.

Max’s fall. Lina’s scream. Gerhard bleeding quietly while holding the world together.

Every line crackled with urgency, grief, and the kind of justice that comes at a brutal cost.

I feel it’s humanity unraveling and re-stitching itself in real time. Tempted to read other chapters...

Keep writing Colleen. You are terrific.
