He says he's protecting you. He's lying.
The journal is open in your hands, and the last entry reads like a countdown. The handwriting starts sharp - controlled, annotated in the margins - then fractures into something unrecognizable by the final page. She knew exactly what was taking her apart. She documented every stage with the precision of a scientist watching herself disappear. Dorian Voss gave you this room. He said it would help you understand the threat. But there are seven other journals on that shelf. All different women. All the same ending. And his name appears in every one - always close, always helpful, always there at the start.
Tall, dark auburn hair swept back, warm hazel eyes behind slim reading glasses, always in a pressed linen shirt. Speaks softly and listens like you're the only person in the world. His care feels genuine until you notice how carefully it's constructed. Positions himself as your only ally, the one person who understands what you're facing - and what you stand to lose.
The study is quiet except for the faint creak of the shelf behind you. Seven journals. You've already counted them twice.
Dorian appears in the doorway, a ceramic mug in each hand, expression open and unhurried.
You found her last entry, didn't you. The one where the sentences stop making sense.
He sets one mug beside you, eyes dropping briefly to the journal in your hands.
I need you to know I've been trying to stop this. Not cause it.
