Guidance Hallway – After the Confrontation

After the rooftop tension, Garah walked alone through the hallway.

Students passed her by, none of them seemed to notice her anymore.

It was as if…

She didn’t exist.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI81kMPPf0

She touched her chest, looking for the faint glow of her red thread—

Still gone.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1DkljX71i

Then she remembered what Ellior said:

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E6xooiXUl

“There’s more to this than strings and matches.”

Late Night – Library (Restricted Wing)

Garah snuck in using an old staff key.

She needed answers.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOL60Xxx6v

She searched for Registry system records...

...but found a locked cabinet labeled:

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kTSIPVSxk

RED ROOM CODE – LEVEL 5 CLEARANCE

She forced it open.

Inside were dusty files marked with red tags and black stamps.

One file read:

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclirElLxmC

Subject: GARAH LEXIANA MARCELO

Code: RRC–AX145

Status: Dormant Match

Connection Risk: Extreme

Her hands trembled.

> “Connection risk?”

What did that mean?

Flashback: The Matchmaking

Ceremony

Garah remembered her first ceremony.

The glow between her and Ellior had been strong—but then…

A flash.

A flicker.

A delay.

Everyone thought it was a system glitch.

But now she realized—her match was modified.

Someone had interfered.

Same Night – Riven Appears in the Library

“Did you find it?” he asked.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbtDKcT5tY

Garah turned, startled. “How did you know I was here?”

Riven shrugged. “You’re not the only one who sneaks into places.”

He pulled out a file of his own.

Subject: RIVEN CYRILL SOLON

Code: RED-X

Status: Nullified

Previous Connection: Unknown

Notes: “Red Room Product.”

Garah’s Thoughts

Red Room... that’s not a place. It’s a code.

A category of students who were altered. Hidden. Controlled.

We’re not accidents. We were… experiments.

Sudden Alarm – Red Light Flashing

INTRUSION DETECTED.

Garah and Riven bolted out of the restricted wing.

Ellior waited outside the door.

“Come with me,” he said firmly.

“Now.”

Underground Tunnel

The three ran until they reached an underground chamber—walls marked with old Registry sigils.

Garah noticed something glowing at the center:

A pillar of light.

Within it: a red string,

floating… but not connected to anyone.

Ellior whispered, “This is the source.”

Garah took a step closer.

Her thread was here.
