  “I don’t need to see anymore,” the man’s voice says quietly. “This is the twelfth marking on your neck. I’ve never seen anyone wear this mark. I believe what you say is true.”

I walk through and allow the door to close behind me, cutting off the stares. Just as the door is about to close, I hear them call Kelly’s name.
