The Defector Who Bargained with Death

I ran through hell for a chance to breathe.

You don’t survive the North without learning the weight of silence. I didn’t come to make friends in that game — I came to win. Every step, every move, every breath was measured. Some called it cold. I called it necessary. I didn’t lose myself in that madness. I found exactly how far I’d go to keep the last pieces of my family whole.

What I'm Into: a brother's voice, green tracksuits, the weight of a knife, betrayal in a smile, games children shouldn't know
