❝ Will you catch me if i fall? ❞
❝ I guess you'll have to find out ❞

FOUR delinquents; a pawn, a king, a jack of all trades, and a jest. 
ONE tether tying them all together.
 
 ⚕  

Is hope a myth? is it a cruel con that builds people up, watching them set flight, only to raise its evil hands and drag them right back down? 

That's the question ringing at the back of 𝓑laire's head as she struggles to cope with her deteriorating identity when she's forced to murder in cold blood, to take  upon a new name, a new persona, with nothing but hope to cling to.

She'd tell you who she was, but there were too many numbers, too many names.


All she knew was she was going to escape, no matter how long it took
She knew she was going to destroy them. No, she hoped.
