(CORRINE)
I walk into the bathroom, and I see the large scar across my back. It has never healed.
Wounds received from the magical, mutated monsters roaming around the Veil can be life-threatening. They don't heal like other injuries. I still don't know how I lived through that night. Thanks to Freya's bracelet, even though I was bleeding and badly injured, I managed to crawl through the Veil.
This scar is a reminder that I survived. Would I have struggled so much had I not known about the child in my womb? I don't have the answer to that.
I step into the shower and wash off the grime of the day.
I hate leaving Finn by himself. Maya always comes over when I need her to, but I worry about whether I'm neglecting my son. He seems pretty well-adjusted. He's a happy child, and he doesn't mind me putting in extra hours. But I'm all he has, and I cannot shake off the guilt when I come home sometimes and he's already in bed.
