She was taken into custody.
Epilogue
A year later, the house was still quiet.
But it was a different kind of quiet.
Not forced.
Not suffocating.
Just… peaceful.
Lila and Nora walked freely through the halls, still learning to trust their bodies—and the world around them.
Adrian had changed too.
He no longer tried to control everything.
He had learned that not all uncertainty is dangerous.
Some of it… is necessary.
Marina stayed.
Not as staff—
But as part of something rebuilt on truth.
Because lies don’t collapse all at once.
They grow slowly, hidden inside routine and trust.
But when they finally break—
They take everything false with them.
And leave space…
For something real to begin.
