Flashback: Lucia's Escape
Lucia's POV;
Three days.
Three endless, torturous days I spent in that dark room, alone, tormented by the ghost of my past.
With every passing hour, my mind spiraled further into oblivion.
My thoughts were consumed by the relentless echoes of my failures and regrets, their sharp edges cutting through the fragile threads of my sanity.
The isolation was suffocating, the silence deafening.
It was as though I had become a prisoner of my own mind, trapped within a labyrinth of memories that I could neither escape nor confront.
At some point, my mind went blank, a merciful void that shielded me from the horrors within.
But even in that void, a single thought remained, stubborn and unyielding: I had to do anything—anything—to get out of that room.
Anything to escape the memories that haunted me, to silence the voices that tormented me.
Then, that day, they made me watch.
