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.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV32UGSpAR

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

Still gone.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKxq3xKbCd

Then she remembered what Ellior said:

“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.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k6I7xt0OE

She searched for Registry system records...

...but found a locked cabinet labeled:

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhcCJ2mWkG

RED ROOM CODE – LEVEL 5 CLEARANCE

She forced it open.

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

One file read:

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4DPw8Btir

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.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPjqEzQrXM

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.
