    The testament to her strength and determination to confront the darkness rather than let it consume her. The shadows of Harrow, once feared and whispered about, have faded, leaving behind only the memory of her family's journey and the scars they bore. Clara understands that, though the path was treacherous, she has emerged whole, with a newfound freedom and a clarity of purpose. 
    Looking out at the town and the manor behind her, she takes one last deep breath, feeling the warmth of the sun on her face. She knows that her family's story, though filled with sorrow, has finally found peace. And as she turns to leave Harrow, a faint whisper drifts through the air—her mother's voice, tender and proud: "You are free now, Clara." 
    With a soft smile, Clara steps forward, leaving the shadows behind, carrying only the light within her. The legacy of the Ashfords has come full circle, and a new beginning awaits her—a life unburdened, a future no longer shaped by the darkness, but by the strength she discovered within herself.
