Emma Chase. She may seem as a normal high school girl with a fiery spirit. Always smiling and laughing to jokes told by her friends. But was it real? Was the smile real and not fake, the laughs true and not forced. We don't know. Nobody does. Emma is so used to hiding her emotions and putting on a facade that in her old school everyone thought her facade was the real her. She had to live up to the standards her facade made and live in the lie that was "Chase". Back then she was reckless, daring and wild to the point where it got out of hand. She had built herself a reputation that didn't fit her. Everyone has secrets. Whether or not you tell anyone them is your choice, but not for Emma.

The Last Whisper
I wear a mask so well that even I almost believe it. Almost. Then I met him. His eyes were hollow, his smile a lie-just like mine. In him, I saw my own reflection, the same quiet suffering hidden beneath perfect façades. For the first time, I wasn't alone. But happiness is always fleeting. One moment, he was there. The next, he was gone. A fall from a rooftop. A life stolen too soon. Now, the world feels unreal. Shadows shift. Whispers grow louder. And in the corner of my vision, I still see him. If he's gone... why does it feel like he never left?
