The room shudders. The door reappears. The livestream cuts to black. Mira walks out into the hallway — silent, tear-streaked, lighter. She doesn’t look back. The clerk nods once.

Mira’s own sin surfaces slowly: the night her sister called her, crying, from a bridge. Mira, exhausted from years of her sister’s crises, let it go to voicemail. She told herself she’d call back in the morning. There was no morning.
