Snake
The enemy is two steps ahead. Every time we think we have answers, we're left with only more questions. I've made mistakes, hunted the wrong villains, and now innocents are paying the price.
Naomi's found herself in the middle of it all. She can't know how broken I am, the rage that I keep buried inside, or that my past has become her nightmare. Naomi fears she's a damsel trapped by her villain, but she's my queen. And it's time she breaks free.
Naomi
The villain has me trapped. Every time I think I can escape, the chains strengthen and my hope fades. I've made mistakes, trusted the wrong man, and now I'm paying the price.
Snake wants me to run away from it all. He doesn't know how caged I am, the fears that keep me frozen in place. Or that my dream has become my nightmare. Snake worries he's a monster ruined by his past, but he's my knight. And it's time I break free.

Devil: They call me Devil. But I'm haunted by the deaths I've caused.
That's why I've hidden who I am. A failure. I control everything or I fight to block it out. If I don't care, I don't lose. But my defenses don't work on Ellie.
I saved her once. Now she's learning to save herself. If only teaching her how didn't test my control. She's my friend's sister.
Warm. Light. Innocent. That's what I need to remember. All I want is to fuel my angel's desire.
Ellie: He calls me angel. But I'm no one's saving grace. I hate what I am. A victim.
I lost so much before Devil found me. And I'm afraid of losing what's left. But fear made me a coward. He saved me then. Now he's teaching me to save myself. If only he didn't make me lose control.
He's my brother's friend. Cold. Dark. Forbidden. That's what he wants me to think. All I want is to feel Devil's burn.

Jason: I'm not letting her go after this.
I left the love of my life when she needed me most. I thought I was saving the world, but instead I lost everything. Now I need her.
My sister is missing and I'm suspect #1. Without Jules as my defense attorney, I would be locked in a cell instead of trying to save my sister. Once I find Ellie, I'm never letting either of them out of my sight. There's no way I'm making that mistake again.
Jules: He's just like every other client.
The man I thought was the love of my life, ghosted me when I needed him most. I'd like to say he was the one that got away. But no. He's the bullet I dodged. Now he needs me.
His sister is missing and he's being charged with her kidnapping. He thinks we can mend what he broke. But I can't trust him. There's no way I'm making that mistake again.
