C9 NOTE

Trix was born in Half in Fire.

I discovered her as I wrote—but, in truth, I had been sketching her soul long before she hit the page. I was already dancing with her, even when she was just mist.

Her presence in that story left a red thread I followed in 2021, when The Red Snow emerged from a deep, undeniable feeling. That’s when she revealed herself as a force of nature. An absolute alpha wolf.

And still, I feel she has so much more to unveil.

Her story isn’t over.

Keep following her journey—and the paths of other Fragmented Universes characters—in Half in Fire, Foxes Dreamt of Cats?, and upcoming fragments like Half in Darkness.

There’s more to come. There always is.

Gratualma, Luna, for existing. Without you, I’m not me.

Gratualma, PHMT, for being the first to read.

Gratualma, Lulu, for choosing to walk with me through FU.

Gratualma, Jezita, for your careful and generous revision.

Keep loving, feeling, perceiving, and vibrating.

It’s the only way we reconnect.

With loria,

Mirella Ricardo Granato
