Where's Molly (Cat and Mouse, #2.5)

“I am the monster they created.”

Molly spent years in a basement waiting for a rescue that never came. She had to become her own monster just to survive.

“The sun is too bright for someone who lived in the dark.”

The trauma didn't end when she got out. Seeing her try to navigate a normal grocery store felt heavier than the violence.

Her obsession with Zade shows how desperate she was for a tether. Even a dangerous man feels like safety when you have nothing.

“Red isn't just a color. It's a memory of pain.”

That red room changed everything about how she sees color. Now every shadow looks like a threat waiting to grab her again.
