And so it was written: love is toil, and relationships a crucible for the soul. Yet Lilith, with her heart marked by fire, sought not the simple or the safe but the shattered. She was drawn to the cursed and the damned, as though her fate was bound to theirs. In the shadows of Hell's Kitchen, she fled the gleaming towers of her fabricated life, hoping to bury her demons beneath the city's filth. But what is buried will rise again. Old flames smoldered into ruinous fires, and long-dead ties clawed their way back, specters of her failures.
When Lilith met Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson once more, she found not solace but reckoning. In their faces, she saw the echoes of who she might have been and the weight of all she had forsaken. Her fight was not for redemption but survival. Among the smoke and the wreckage, Lilith's every step was a hallelujah-a mournful, defiant cry to a heaven that had long since turned its face away.
