The Whispering Dark

“The dark doesn't need a voice to speak.”

Silence isn't always empty. Delaney shows how being deaf means hearing things other people miss in the shadows.

“He was a boy made of jagged edges and bad intentions.”

Colton wants to be a villain because it feels safer than being a victim. He uses his magic like a shield against his own soft spots.

“She was a girl caught in the seam of a closing door.”

Living between two worlds makes you belong to neither. Delaney feels like a ghost even when she is perfectly alive.

“I would burn the world to find you in the ashes.”

Hate and love look exactly the same when they are both obsessive. Colton and Delaney constantly orbit each other like dying stars.
