As the clock strikes midnight, the Atlantic coastline is set ablaze with bursts of red, blue, and white fireworks, their reflections dancing across the water; without warning, every phone screen lights up with the same unexpected message.
@selinagha, you thought a name change and a new city could bury your old life. Before the heels and the headlines, there was a show. You may not remember it because it was canceled prematurely after its leading actress didn't wake up one morning. The official story: a tragedy, Deniz all alone, no one around to help. Except someone was around. We'd like to introduce you to the woman who finally landed her first lead role; in a tragedy. The same one that supplied the party favors that inevitably led to Deniz's death. Selin, you built something new out of the wreckage of that night: a new name, a new city, a new continent. Impressive, really. But reinvention isn't the same as absence, and we know the difference even when you've spent years pretending not to. Was it guilt? You couldn't have been naive enough to think they'd give you the lead role if the actual one was out of the way, were you? You had one job, Selin. Now everyone gets to have one question: what else would you lie and kill for? -P
