The earthquake hit out of nowhere, and the whole class jammed up at the door. Rainee Bianco, our resident queen bee, jumped onto the podium. "Don't freak out! Get into the triangle zone and wait for rescue!" Yeah, no. Experts had already called that advice bogus. The so-called triangle zone wasn't safe. I looked out at the lawn. "We're on the third floor. Jump now, and we might actually make it!" Everyone froze for half a second. Then they started climbing out the windows. Everyone but Tristan Dodd, my childhood best friend. He bolted straight for the triangle zone. I ran after him, grabbed him, and dragged him out the window with me. He walked away without a scratch. I shattered my leg. After that, Tristan acted like I'd hung the moon. He took care of me every day, and after graduation, we ended up together. Then Rainee found out. She got drunk, fell into a lake, and drowned. The second Tristan heard, he shoved me off a cliff. "If I didn't owe you my life, you really think I would've picked you? She was right. This is all your fault!" When I opened my eyes, I was back at the exact moment he ran for the triangle zone. 'He wants to die this time? Fine by me.'

"My whole family can see the countdown to my sister’s death. We all know she’ll die on her sixteenth birthday, so she always comes first. The pretty dresses are hers. Every family outing revolves around her. Even our parents’ time and attention belong to her. When her sixteenth birthday finally arrives, I’m burning with fever. Afraid I’ll ruin her last day, my parents lock me in the storage room. “Mom, it hurts. Please let me out.” “Enough. It’s her last day. Can’t you just bear it?” “But I really don’t feel well…” Slowly, the sounds outside the door fade away, and my consciousness slips away forever."

After I was caught in a dockside explosion, I was bound to a Survival Program. It gave me twenty-five years and four designated targets.

Because every target I tried to reach eventually turned toward Sophia Lane, the heroine of this world. They called my pain a performance. They called my tears manipulation. They said I was only pretending to break down so they would choose me over Sophia. But if they never loved me, why did they lose control when my mission failed and I chose to leave this world for good?
