School Grounds – The Morning After

Lina walks into school as if nothing happened.

But everyone notices something off.

Her eyes—darker.

Her presence—colder.

And on her wrist… the red string bracelet, tightly wrapped.

Pearl and Freya see her from the hallway.

“That’s the bracelet,” Pearl whispers.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXDGUmiV00

“But something’s wrong,” Freya mutters. “It didn’t choose her. It attached itself.”

The Night Before

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmorwHH25Xu

Lina holds the bracelet.

"I just want to be important," she says, tearfully.

A voice—faint, whispering—responds.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbFQLQPhhA

> “Then wear me.”

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6UrpeF0LL

The string slithers onto her wrist. Her veins react. Her eyes flicker red. Her heartbeat slows…

She smiles—unnaturally.

Present – Classroom

Lina begins acting strangely.

She starts to know things she shouldn’t.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62BkSv9tRm

Secrets.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRtz9zFnVp

Memories.

She stares at people, says things they never told anyone. Students begin to fear her.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiFnj7NpaN

“She knows my father left,” one girl whispers.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREECLpKRUF

“She mentioned my sister’s hospital,” a boy adds.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjtGAloLKa

She’s not just possessed—she’s connected.

Freya’s Room

Pearl and Freya discuss their next move.

“The bracelet has evolved,” Freya says. “It doesn’t just reveal truths. It feeds off them.”

Pearl nods, frightened. “Then it’s using Lina…”

“Until it breaks her.”

Abandoned Bathroom

Lina stares into the mirror.

Blood trickles from her nose. Her hands shake.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vCdIIEimO

Her reflection smiles—but she doesn’t.

“There is another bracelet,” the reflection says.

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ2TpxWahQ

“One more… waiting.”

Lina gasps, clutches her chest—

then collapses.

Silence.

The bracelet falls to the ground, still glowing.
