--- In the dead of night, Dylan stands on the edge of a bridge, her mind heavy with the pain she's carried for years. The world around her feels as distant and cold as the dark waters below-a mirror to the weight of her broken family and lingering sadness. In that moment, she makes a decision: to step away from it all and find silence in the depths. As she falls, what she expects to be the end takes a surprising turn. Instead of the finality she anticipated, she's pulled into an unexpected chance-a chance to keep going. Her survival, though unplanned, forces her to confront the life she thought she was ready to leave behind. Waking on the riverbank, drenched and aching, Dylan faces a reality that refuses to let her go. The house she returns to feels just as empty, and her father barely notices her presence. Yet, something shifts inside her. As the sun rises, she realizes that while her world remains harsh, there's something more out there, waiting. What comes next isn't an easy path. Dylan's journey forward challenges her, pulling her into new connections and experiences that chip away at the armor she built around herself. Slowly, with each step, she begins to understand what it means to truly live-not just to survive. Dylan's story is not about giving in but about figuring out who she is when everything else falls apart. Through unexpected friendships and moments of clarity, she learns that while the past still lingers, there is more to discover, more to feel, and maybe even more to hope for. ---
