CHAPTER 92: GIGI
Overview
Gigi is jolted awake by a late-night call from Knox urging her to watch the news. She and Savannah see reports of catastrophic cliff and castle collapses labeled a natural disaster. The outside world recognizes the destruction, raising stakes for those inside and those desperately waiting for news.
Summary
In the middle of the night, Gigi wakes to a phone call from Knox Landry, whose uncharacteristic softness immediately signals trouble. Gigi demands the truth, but Knox cannot say it directly and instead urges her to turn on the news.
Gigi confronts a flood of media coverage describing a “natural disaster.” Footage shows cliffs collapsing and a castle crumbling—eight thousand tons of stone falling, smoke and rubble sweeping the scene. The scale makes clear that whatever is happening at the site has reached catastrophic levels.
Realizing the gravity, Gigi refuses to hang up on Knox and goes to wake Savannah. As the world watches the devastation, Gigi chooses to face the unfolding crisis with her sister and Knox on the line, bracing for what comes next.
