The news of Elara Finch’s plagiarism stung like an insult. Her words had been a comfort, a lifeline through difficult times for Ethan. The thought of those words being another person's was almost unbearable. He wanted to shout, to rail against the injustice of it all.

Instead, Ethan opened a new document on his computer. He started typing. He wrote about the books, about the magic of reading. He wrote about the impact they had on him. Then, he started to add his own story.

He was surprised at how the writing poured out of him. It was a story of hope, of resilience, of believing in beauty even in a world shadowed by darkness. He didn’t focus on his anger, instead he focused on the things he had found beauty in. He wrote and wrote.
