Rain lashed the diner's window like frantic fingers. Lira wiped the counter, steam from fresh espresso curling into the chill air, her hands trembling from the argument replaying in her head. 'Stay safe,' Mom had whispered that morning, eyes hollow. Another cough rattled through the phone line before it cut.

The bell jingled. A man in a drenched coat slid onto a stool, his gaze too steady. 'Black coffee,' he muttered, sliding a folded note across the Formica. Lira snatched it, unfolding under the fluorescent buzz: 'The mark awakens. Find the echo at midnight.' Ink shimmered, then faded.

Shift ended. Alley shadows thickened as she hurried home, the note's weight pulling like an anchor. Footsteps echoed behind — not hers. Heart slamming, she ducked into a doorway, breath fogging the brick's rough chill. The pursuer paused, whispered words slicing the downpour: 'She bears the sign.'

Apartment door creaked open to Mom's frail form by the lamp, knitting needles idle. 'Who was that call?' Lira demanded, voice cracking. Mom's fingers tightened. 'They found you.' The air thickened with lavender soap and unspoken lies, a faded tattoo on Mom's wrist glowing faintly — identical to the birthmark Lira hid under her sleeve.

Visions hit like thunder: crumbling stone halls, warring cloaks, a child's cry echoing 'Unite them or fall.' Lira gasped, knees buckling onto threadbare carpet. Mom knelt, tears carving paths through powder. 'I hid you to save you. The chosen binds the fractures — but it breaks the binder first.'

Sirens wailed outside, too close. The man from the diner burst in, coat shedding rain like blood. 'No time. The echo calls.' Lira clutched Mom's hand, the mark searing hot. Shadows pooled at the window, tendrils reaching — and Mom shoved her toward the door. 'Go. Or we both shatter.'

Lira stumbled into the storm, the echo's pull a vise in her chest. Behind, glass shattered. Was it too late?
