“For this? I’ve lived decades without a speck of life in me, without a beating heart in my chest—with the scars, aching bones, and memories to remind me of my mistakes. I’m done now. I can rest now. I just need you to be honest… Tell the truth. Tell the world we were monsters but that we were kids, too. Raped, beaten, and brutalized kids. Tell them what they did to us. Tell them how they got away with it. Tell them the truth about us, and don’t let them slander Cade’s name…not anymore.”
