Mari Marcosa always knew she would die young, so being left to bleed out on a warehouse floor is no shock to her.

It was just a party. A silly little celebration with champagne and my best friends.

And now she's gone, and I refuse to be in that shadow, or worse, a replacement for someone we both loved.
