In this haunting bonus episode of Shadows & Starlight, we present “When the Silence Breaks”—an original spoken word poem that explores the fragile quiet left behind when truth is buried, voices are silenced, and complacency takes root.
Set in the spirit of quiet resistance and poetic justice, this piece follows the echoes of forgotten names, hidden flames, and a silence that can no longer hold.
Featuring voices from Lila and Elyra, ambient sound design, and our signature dark lyrical tone, this episode is a meditation on shame, memory, and awakening.
