๐ New Short Story!

Sweat-slicked pink workout top. The steady clank of plates finally going silent. Golden-amber eyes that have been carrying the weight of an unused red mask for too long. What starts as a routine spot turns into something deeper โ honest talk about purpose, about letting go, about finding new ways to be a hero when the old battles have gone quiet. It's bittersweet, it's vulnerable, and it ends with Karin getting exactly the kind of reward she's earned.
If you've ever wondered what happens when The Cardinal hangs up the cape but refuses to fade away โ and how the Overseer helps her see the next chapter โ this piece is worth your time.
