THE HANDS THAT HAUNT ME

Kaira has always been strong - or at least that's the lie she learned to live with.
Because strength means nothing when the enemy you fear... lives inside your own mind.

Her past doesn't visit her in memories.
It attacks her in dreams, in the silence between breaths,
and in the voices that don't always feel like her own.

Some days she wakes as herself.
Some days... she doesn't.

There is a child inside her who cries to be held.
A protector who whispers warnings in the dark.
And a darker presence - the one with trembling hands,
the one who remembers the night Kaira swears never happened.

Everyone tells her to "face her fears."
But how do you confront a truth buried in the versions of you
that rise when you're too weak to fight?

Kaira has spent years running, healing, breaking, trying again.
But wounds don't close just because she's exhausted.
Some pains don't fade - they wait.

And when the memories finally claw their way back,
Kaira must decide whether to survive them...
or take revenge on the past that stole her life.

This is the story of a girl at war with her own mind -
and the selves who might save her... or destroy her.
