“We have to survive this,” I said softly. “For the baby. For us.”

Daniel’s hand rested over mine, steady, reassuring. “We will. Together. Every step of the way.”
The days ahead promised tension, but also the possibility of control. For now, survival meant observation, patience, and strategic planning. And for the first time in weeks, I felt the faintest spark of hope that we could navigate the next moves carefully, protect the life inside me, and eventually, bring all the truths into the open.
It wasn’t the end of the struggle–but for now, it was a moment of calm, and I would use it wisely.

I learned about the trial on a quiet morning. Daniel didn’t announce it like news. He said it the way someone states a fact that has been waiting its turn.
“They’re moving forward with Clara,” he said. “The receiving process starts today.”
I was seated near the window, legs drawn up, a blanket over my knees. My body still felt weak, but my mind was alert. Too alert. I had known this moment would come, but knowing something and meeting it are not the same thing.
“So it’s official,” I said.
“Yes.”
I rested my hand on my stomach. The baby shifted, slow and heavy. I waited for some surge of relief or anger. It didn’t come. What I felt instead was a steady pressure in my chest, like something tightening but not breaking.
“How long will it take?” I asked.

I nodded. That made sense. Clara had operated in quiet spaces for too long. A rushed would only create doubt.

Later that day, I was cleared to observe the first phase. Not the trial itself. Just the beginning. The intake. The formal acknowledgment that she was no longer a protected asset or a political buffer, but an accused party under Northern law.
The building was older than the compound where I had been held. Stone walls. Narrow corridors. No decoration. Everything designed to last, not to comfort. Daniel walked beside me, his pace matched to mine. Two security officers followed at a distance.
