Chapter 15: Out of the Dark (Epilogue)
Ten years later. Mia is sixteen, vibrant, fiercely intelligent, and deeply empathetic. It is the evening of her high school play, and she has the lead role.

Clara smiles, tears blurring her vision, knowing that while the dark will always exist, they had finally taught their daughter how to shine right through it."
