The first thing I did after returning from the past was smash the lucky sigil pendant straight into the pond. It sank without a trace. Martha Wright was already on her knees by the water's edge, her voice trembling in that fragile, pitiful way she wore so well. "Adelynn, why would you do something like this?"

But this time, I would make them understand what it truly meant to wish for death and never be granted it.
