Episode 011 — “The Fall that Silenced Everything”

The scream echoed louder than the wind.

From the rooftop, papers flew like white birds as Garah’s body plummeted. But what no one saw—what no one remembered—was the moment her uniform caught on a tree branch.

A tear.

A gasp.

A body slowed—not saved, just delayed.

Then silence again, as her body finally hit the earth below.

Present Day — Emergency Room

Freya stood outside the glass, fists clenched, eyes hollow.

Inside, Garah lay still. Bruised. Breathing—but barely. Tubes ran across her arms. A nurse whispered to a doctor, “She might not wake up.”

Sandra was there too, just behind Freya. Quiet. Stoic. Almost too calm.

“She jumped,” she said softly.

“She was pushed,” Freya corrected.

Their eyes met, and something dark shifted between them.

Back at School

The rumors spread like smoke.

“She did it to herself.”

“No, someone dared her.”

“I heard someone saw red strings before she fell…”

Zyreen sat alone in the bathroom, staring at her reflection. Her makeup was smudged. Her hand trembled.

Then—

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Pearl appeared behind her. “You know it wasn’t just her. It’s the bracelet.”

Zyreen blinked. “You believe in that crap now?”

Pearl lifted her sleeve.

A faint red mark circled her wrist.

“I never wore it… but it touched me.”

Freya’s Bedroom — That Night

Freya watched a replay in her mind. Again and again. Her sister’s laugh before the fall. Her final words.

Then she looked at her hand.

Her pinky finger—wrapped in something faintly red.

Thin. Almost invisible.

A string.

She didn’t cry.

She stood.

“I’m going to find who gave her that bracelet,” she said aloud.

“And I’ll make sure no one else wears it again.”

From this moment on—Freya

was no longer the little sister.

She was the storm Garah’s silence had summoned.
