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.

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

The Night Before

Lina holds the bracelet.

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

A voice—faint, whispering—responds.

> “Then wear me.”

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.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYka1nhWqC

Secrets.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwwpIOvg0h

Memories.

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

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdChb9asMy

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoffJDqYbq0

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.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKS5Kxqyw1

Her reflection smiles—but she doesn’t.

“There is another bracelet,” the reflection says.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kiAyb7Jji

“One more… waiting.”

Lina gasps, clutches her chest—

then collapses.

Silence.

The bracelet falls to the ground, still glowing.
