The pressure within Neela builds as she struggles to accept her position in a branched prophecy. Balancing the physical and mental burdens constantly assaulting her is seemingly impossible as the tragedies of the past continue to fill her heart with sinking trepidation. One more devastating loss can either send her over the edge or strengthen her resolve in yet another grand inevitability.
