### **Chapter 12: The Unfolding War**
She knows they are watching her now—closer, more desperate than before.
The silence that once suffocated her is gone, replaced with **noise**—whispers in the media, strangers dissecting her words, the ones in power scrambling to bury the truth before it spreads too far.

She refuses to stop, refuses to let fear dictate the pace of her fight.
Every piece of evidence she has—she releases.
They try to discredit her, to frame her as unstable, paranoid, lost in delusions of control.
She counters with proof.

The war is shifting.
She has spent years believing she was **powerless**.
Now, she realizes—she was never the one who should have been afraid.
**They should have been afraid of her.**
