    Summary

    In the aftermath of her brother’s death, Lena overdoses—and survives. What follows is not redemption or recovery. It's withdrawal, exhaustion, and the unbearable intimacy of being witnessed while breaking. As Kara stays, helps, and loves her through the aftermath, Lena is forced to see the cost of her pain reflected in someone else’s eyes.

    This arc traces the quiet devastation of survival, the slow erosion of denial, and the moment Lena realizes that loving Kara means refusing to let her drown alongside her.
