Chapter 69
- I couldn’t sleep.
- The cold floor beneath me was harder than stone. No matter how I twisted or turned, there was no comfort—only pain. My limbs ached, my skin burned in places where the chains had rubbed it raw, and my thoughts were more bruised than my body. Every time I closed my eyes, I didn’t find rest. I found memories. Torture disguised as recollection.
- But that wasn’t why I couldn’t sleep.
