Golden River High — Morning

Lina arrived at school with a blank expression.

Her classmates noticed the change. She was no longer soft-spoken and shy. She walked through the halls like a ghost—unbothered, untouched.

A red thread trailed behind her, faint and invisible to the naked eye, but those who once mocked her felt it:

Headaches.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe47GCnf8NQ

Blurry vision.

Whispers in their ears.

The more they talked about her, the more they suffered.

St. Rosalie Academy — Student Council Room

Freya placed pins and strings on a new corkboard.

She was tracking bracelet energy across the region.

Freya:

“Golden River High just had a spike.”

Zyreen:

“That’s where Lina transferred, right?”

Pearl:

“How did the bracelet find her?”

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mQmdjfMEf

Freya turned, her expression hard.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUHruv3uXV

Freya:

“It didn’t. Someone gave it to her.”

Flashback — Two Months Ago

Lina sat in the school clinic after getting bullied. Her lip was bleeding.

Then — a knock on the door.

A woman entered wearing a black veil. No ID. No name tag.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCycXXVOHiG

Veiled Woman:

“You want to disappear? Or do you want them to disappear?”

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrsU6Y4YU7

She placed the bracelet on the bed beside Lina.

Veiled Woman:

“This was once locked. Now, it’s yours.”

Golden River — Girl’s Restroom

Lina locked the door.

In the mirror, the threads began to show — glowing and twisting around her fingers. She raised her hand slowly. As if remembering how to cast a spell.

Her lips moved.

> “Thread of pain, loop through their lies.”

A ripple echoed through the school.

📍Scene: Back at St. Rosalie – Rooftop

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb01yubeZl

Pearl gasped.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFpqDsJk5f

Pearl:

“She just activated a thread.”

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJGFj8vWka

Freya stood up fast.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLZc8AQTQj

Freya:

“We’re not the only ones who remember how it works. Someone’s teaching her.”

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyLhs5b23w

Zyreen (softly):

“Then we’re already too late.”

Then—

A close-up of Lina’s bracelet tightening around her wrist. A small cut opens on her palm.She doesn’t flinch.
