Chapter 528 Gwen's POV I hurled my phone against the opposite wall with every ounce of strength I had left. It hit with a deeply satisfying crack before dropping to the floor, the screen almost certainly shattered. Great. One more broken thing. Just like my memory. My sanity. My entire life, apparently. I sat on the edge of the bed, breathing hard, the burn of frustrated tears building behind my eyes. I wasn't going to cry. I refused. But damn it, it was infuriating. Fighting my own mind just to uncover basic things about myself. Things everyone should know. Simple things.

'Who am I?' The question echoed in my head with no answer. I stood and went to the suitcase, yanking it open and digging through it aggressively, tossing clothes aside without a second thought.

Why did that name make me feel so... scared?

Why was there a voice screaming inside my head that no one could ever know that name? 1/6 It made no sense. None of this made sense. But the instinct was too strong to ignore. Without overthinking it, I shoved the documents back into the bottom of the suitcase, burying them under layers and layers of clothes. No one could see that. No one could know. But why? The question hung in the air, unanswered. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. I needed something to organize my thoughts. Something tangible. I dug through my bag and found a small notebook and a pen.

I held the phone in front of my face, waiting for facial recognition to do its thing. Device locked. Enter passcode. What? I tried again. Device locked. Enter passcode. Why the hell had I turned off Face ID?
