Zara found Isaac's hidden lab in the school's basement—he'd been building a quantum computer to expose corruption in the town. Inside, she found a second journal, written in code.
Kairos cracked it. The entries weren't just about the bullying—they were about Nora.
"Nora's not my friend. She's been manipulating me since we were kids. She knew the bullies would target me. She pushed them to do it. She wanted me dead so she could use my death to gain power."
"She's been planning this all along. The axe, the mask, the traps—she's been building them for years. She doesn't care about justice. She cares about control."
"If I die, find the USB drive in my desk. It has everything—proof that she's been grooming other kids to be her 'soldiers,' including Zara's sister Lila."
Zara's blood ran cold. She'd been playing right into Nora's hands—Nora had wanted her to investigate, to expose the bullies, to make people think she was a hero. All so she could take over the town's power structure once everyone else was dead.
