?Chapter 1423:


    Rosanna stopped moving.


    The world around her drifted into a strange quiet. Only that cruel voice lingered in her mind — looks so scary. The stares felt sharp. The nearby whispers made her nerves twist. And Maia’s parting words clung to her thoughts like a heavy spell: “Why not use that energy to find a mirror and see what you’ve be?”


    A mirror.


    A wave of panic rose inside Rosanna until she struggled to breathe. She pressed her teeth together, pushed through the pain, forced herself upright, and made her way to the restroom at the end of the corridor. She shoved the door open and turned the lock until it clicked.


    Inside the small room, her breathing filled the silence. She steadied herself against the cold tiles and moved toward the mirror above the sink, one careful step at a time, each one weighted with fear. She wanted to see the truth. She needed to know what she had be.


    At that same moment, Kiley opened thepressed file stored on the USB drive. The process finished quickly — the password happened to be her birthday.
