The Impostor Daughter

I am Echo, born of forgotten children's whispers, and for centuries, I've seen only the transactional nature of human love.

A chance at freedom from Purgatory appeared: assume the form of five-year-old Lily for three days.

If her brother or mother truly recognized me, I could stay, finally knowing what true connection felt like.

But stepping into the vibrant human world as Lily, I became an immediate pawn.

Her wealthy brother, Ethan, saw not his sister, but a medical solution-a bone marrow donor for his "real sunflower."
