Part III - The Price of Salvation

Without a second thought, Keith chose to sacrifice himself, becoming the final vessel for the restless evil spirits so Rachael and her daughter could live free from the curse. Years later, Rachael continues to run her VR gaming company and raises little Aireen in safety and comfort. To the outside world, her life seems whole again. But deep inside, a part of her soul was lost the night Keith made his choice. While Aireen grows up unaware of the darkness that once hunted her family, Rachael can never forget the man who vanished into it. Keith saved them all, yet his sacrifice left behind a silent emptiness that no success, no technology, and no amount of time could ever fill. Some curses end with a sacrifice. Others simply learn to hide in the shadows.
