For a long moment, he said nothing. Then, quietly, almost ashamed of the sound of his own voice, he spoke. "Please," he whispered. The word cracked. "I didn't mean to go there again." His breath shuddered. He swallowed hard, "I know what I am. I know what lives in me. I thought I had buried it. I thought You helped me bury it." His eyes burned now. Tears slipped free and he didn't wipe them away. "I didn't stop," he went on, voice breaking. "I didn't stop when I should have. I wanted him to hurt. I wanted it." He closed his eyes, forehead lowering. "I know that's not You," he said. "I know that wasn't You moving through me." This story remains faithful to the characters and narrative established in the film, carrying forward their defining traits and conflicts. Into this fragile equilibrium enters Maeve; a new presence; calm, quietly confident, and emotionally literate, walking on thin ice, whose quiet doubts and choices begin to fracture what was meant to remain sealed. Author's Note The first two chapters are deliberately slow and atmospheric, meant to establish the setting and emotional undercurrents of the story. (Might seem dry and nothing really happens there, so I made them as short as possible). The main plot begins to take shape from Chapter Three onward. Based on the film Wake Up Dead Man: A Knive Out Mystery.

For Elizabeth Harper, the universe has always made sense through equations and logic. She is the girl who finds order in chaos, who believes every problem has a solution. But the heart of Clark Kent-her best friend and childhood neighbor-is a chaotic variable she cannot solve. When he asks for help to win over Lana Lang, Beth agrees, disguising her own desire for Clark under the logical pretext of applying a 'scientific method' to the problem, treating their kisses as a controlled experiment. The result, however, is an explosion of data she cannot predict: primitive jealousy, buried secrets, and an attraction that defies any law of physics. It is a journey about a girl who tries to control the uncontrollable, only to discover that the most powerful-and devastating-emotions are those that defy any formula.
