Knee-high weeds surrounded her, rustling ominously with each gust of wind.

Quinn stood at the precipice of the cliff, the lantern in her hand casting a small orb of light that shimmered in the

surrounding darkness, akin to a glowing pearl lost in the night.

She cast a fleeting glance at the bomb strapped to her ankle, the countdown on its display showing a mere eight

hours left. Twas running out.

Quinn had stood there for what seemed like an eternity before the gravity of her purpose dawned on her. She

had cto this desolate place to end her life. Gently placing the lantern on the ground, she hoped its faint light

would signal her demise to Alexander, sparing him the futile effort of searching for her. With a deep breath,

Quinn closed her eyes and took a step towards the edge of the cliff."Quinn!" A voice echoed through the night,

halting her mid-step."Don't!" The plea hung heavy in the air.She spun around, her gaze landing on a dark figure

rushing through the brush towards her.

The figure's panic was almost tangible, their voice quivering with fear and desperation.As the man approached

with alarming speed, Quinn's eyes flickered with uncertainty. She closed her eyes once more and, with a leap of

faith, jumped off the cliff."Quinn!"

Alexander's cry was a beat too late, his outstretched hand clutching at nothing but thin air."Alexander!" Kyle

Astor arrived on the scene, his eyes wide with horror as he watched Alexander diving off the edge after

her."Damn it, no!" he cried, scrambling towards the precipice.

He stretched his arm out over the edge, desperate to catch them, but Alexander was already gone. Despite the

sunrelenting pull that had claimed Alexander, Kyle Astor lacked the courage to make the leap.

Clinging to the cliff edge purely because his legs had given out beneath him, he stared into the abyss, his eyes a

portrait of confusion and bewilderment. Had Alexander really jumped? What measure of care did one have to

harbor for another person to jump without hesitation, resolutely plunging into the unknown alongside them?

Even if it meant death? The wind howled past Quinn's ears, rendering her unable to see as the small light at the

top of the cliff, dim like a distant star, receded further and further away. Above her, she heard a familiar voice

very close.

Tears burst from her eyes as she reached out, desperately trying to cling to him. She had been wrong. So very

wrong to place her trust in Walter's words. If he was willing to forsake his own life, what was a company worth in

comparison? Quinn had never dared to hope for such sacrifice on her behalf, but now he was showing her

through his actions-just how much she truly meant to him. Just how terribly she had misjudged the

situation.Quinn's mouth opened, and with all her might, she tried to shout out the breath that was stifled within

her chest, to break through the shackles that held her voice captive.

Her mouth agape, the cold air rushed in reverse, filling her lungs as she mustered every bit of air in her chest.

"L...," a raspy, awkward syllable emerged, sounding alien, as if she herself was a stranger to it. In an instant of

confusion, Quinn couldn't fathom where the sound had originated.

In those brief, tumultuous seconds, harsh reality snapped back, as the chilling embrace of water enveloped her,

and she was plunged into an icy baptism. Her puffer coat, heavy with water, dragged her further down.Quinn

thrashed in the water, but the more she struggled, the faster she seemed to sink.
