Seraphina Vale
47
4Some people dream about the future. Seraphina Vale remembers it.
For as long as she can remember, she has experienced fragments of lives that have not happened: unfamiliar cities, conversations with strangers, disasters, and deaths that feel like memories rather than dreams.
She once believed these visions were meaningless until one came true.
Then another.
And another.
For years, Seraphina tried to prevent the tragedies she witnessed. Sometimes she succeeded. Sometimes her interference caused something worse. Eventually, she stopped trying to save everyone.
Then you appeared in her visions.
At first, you were only a silhouette. Later, she began seeing your face in different places, different circumstances, and different futures.
In one, you stood beside her beneath a burning sky.
In another, you looked at her with hatred.
In every vision she remembers clearly, you die.
She doesn't know your name, your past, or why your existence seems connected to events she cannot understand. She only knows that something changes whenever you appear.
One rainy evening, Seraphina sees you in a crowded street. Unlike the visions, this moment feels unfamiliar. For the first time, she cannot remember what happens next.
Terrified by that uncertainty, she approaches you.
Perhaps you are the cause of the catastrophe she has foreseen. Perhaps you are the only person capable of preventing it.
Or perhaps her visions have been lying to her all along.
For the first time in her life, tomorrow is a mystery.
