### Chapter 19: Vivien's Departure

The police left in frustration, taking with them threats of subpoenas.

As the main doors closed, Vivien walked toward the living room.

She picked up her familiar gray coat.

Nathaniel watched her.

"Where are you going?"

Vivien put on the coat. Flawless. Not a single wrinkle.

"My work here is done."

Nathaniel stepped forward.

"Done? Everything is collapsing and you say it's done?"

Vivien turned around.

"It's not collapsing, Nathaniel. It's being restructured."

She looked straight into his eyes.

"Margaret wanted to use me as a scapegoat to bind you to her control. The system exposed that. A new stability has been established."

A pause.

"Now, you are the system administrator. Not her."

Vivien walked out the door.

Without looking back.
