So far, the Shadow Man had been absent, letting her do whatever she wanted, giving her the freedom to take her power. And she fucking loved him for it. She loved him for giving her a home, giving her a place to belong, giving her space to just be. And she loved him for bringing her to the place of her nightmares, for seeking vengeance on her behalf and stringing up the monsters, making her realize it all had no power over her anymore.
