At the hospital:
Doctor: "It's good news. The black mark hasn't appeared in the last six months. Even though we don't fully understand it, we'll continue monitoring and researching it, Mr. Devis." š
Jonathan: "Thank you, Doctor. We'll be leaving now."
Doctor: "Of course. Take care."

On the way home, the car was unusually quiet.
Jonathan glanced at Justin. "Why so silent? Aren't you happy? The black mark is gone⦠it shouldn't return." š
Justin's voice trembled slightly. "Does that mean⦠she'll leave us? Amber⦠she'll leave us?"
Jonathan's eyes darkened. Reality hit hard. š¶
Amber had always said: until the black mark disappears completely, she would stay. Once it was gone⦠she could leave.
The silence in the car was heavy as they drove on⦠until suddenly, the vehicle swerved.

Unknown figure (voice cold, venomous): "Finally⦠Mrs. Amber Devis⦠you will feel the same pain I felt eleven years ago." š
The shadows shifted, echoing the promise of revenge.
