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.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJYNH2Hafl

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

The Night Before

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdqF8XSYyk

Lina holds the bracelet.

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

A voice—faint, whispering—responds.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RnVlyrCTU

> “Then wear me.”

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vNY5A6WTO

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.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXdT7q6NF6

Secrets.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkmNkmpGKA

Memories.

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfMGkGdn14

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIpJEttXBM

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL3yRRjYse

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.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydFsZn3dxQ

Her reflection smiles—but she doesn’t.

“There is another bracelet,” the reflection says.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViBxCsEzov

“One more… waiting.”

Lina gasps, clutches her chest—

then collapses.

Silence.

The bracelet falls to the ground, still glowing.
