Rose manor, Lilith's room
Lilith called Nina, just to check in but instead of hearing a cheerful voice, she heard a shaken breath.
"Lilith… you weren't answering. The director waited. But he replaced the role. He said we can't delay the shoot."
Lilith's brows pulled together. "What?"
"They picked someone else. She's good. But she—" Nina stopped. Her voice lowered. "I think she hates me."
A beat of silence.
"She pretended to be friendly, but during the flying wire rehearsal… she tried to push me."
Lilith stood up, the chair behind her scraping against the floor.
"She nearly made me fall, Lilith. And I did fall. She timed it so it looked like an accident. If Knox hadn't noticed and pulled the wire last second… I don't know."
There was a pause.
"I'm okay. Just a little bruised. But the way she looked at me... it wasn't normal."
