Praesentia, from Latin: presence.
Before the disappearance, before the silence, Emily Byrne was a force of nature. A promising recruit, a rising FBI agent, a wife-a woman who occupied space with intensity and conviction. Her presence was constant: at work, in her relationships, in the choices she made without imagining the cost they would one day demand.
This is the story of who Emily was before she became absence. Of the bonds she built, the decisions that shaped her path, and the nearly invisible fractures that preceded the break.
Praesentia explores the weight of fully existing-and how, sometimes, it is precisely that presence that makes loss inevitable.
