DE PERE, Wisconsin — Three years ago, Emma Wiltgen told her mother for the first time the world would be better off without her. It would not be the last.
She didn’t feel she belonged anywhere.
Growing up, the fictional world had a stronger hold on her than the one she lived in. She immersed herself in Star Wars, Pokémon, and the stories of Egyptian gods and goddesses, and buried herself in fantasy worlds crafted by authors like Rick Riordan, reading books at the age of 9 faster than her mother, Amy Wiltgen, could screen for adult content.
