They said no one survived the fire.

They were wrong.

Decades ago, the church in the woods burned beneath a sky that forgot how to pray. Smoke swallowed screams. And something-someone-was left behind.

Now, Ji-an walks among laughter and lamplight, with her heart half-silent and her eyes too deep. Her friends say she's the same. She smiles the same. She remembers the same. But the forest knows better.

Because something stepped into her shadow that night.

And not everything that returns is meant to be found.
