Ep. 18: The Rite

Last time, Lidiya recalled the moment everything changed. A missed babysitter. A bouquet of daffodils. A fateful trip to Bethesda. In a single afternoon, she lost the people she loved most—and the evidence she and Craig had risked everything to protect.

In this episode, we follow her into the long winter that followed. What begins with silence, snow, and Mahler's Fifth Symphony becomes something else entirely: a rite of passage and a return to the world.
