Six Lives, One Endless Game

Five times I died.

Five times I tried to build a life, a bond, with Ethan Cole, and five times I failed.

The last time was a masterpiece of cruelty.

He knew.

All along, through every new face, every persona, he knew.

“I’d rather jump off this skyscraper, Amelia, than be with your desperate act.”

His icy words cut deeper than any simulated death the ReLife Program put me through.

My current identity, Maya, drowned three days later.

Always an accident.

I was trapped in an endless loop of new lives, new hopes, and the same crushing, inevitable end.

Just survive.

Stop dying.
