Part 9 — What Survival Really Looks Like
Weeks passed.
The noise faded.
Then stopped.
No more calls.
No more rumors.
Just life.
One morning, Harry asked:
“Is Oliver coming back?”
Sharon shook her head.

“No.”

Selena looked up from her book.
“I told you.”
Mika just smiled.
And that was it.
No drama.
No chaos.
Just peace returning slowly.
Like it had been waiting outside the door the whole time.
