Elliot stood in the center of the room, his steps weighted like iron but his eyes… those eyes stared at Jayden as if he had been waiting for this moment all along.
The subtle hiss of oxygen being pumped through vents above filled the silence, making the fear in the room louder than any scream could ever be.

“Brother,” Elliot said, his voice deep and cracked with age, pain… and something else vengeance.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA4ilOWWbcGH
Jayden couldn’t speak. His mouth opened, but no words came out. He didn’t see a prisoner. He saw a ghost one he thought he’d buried.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAGr45gdotst
“But... you died. I saw the files. We buried”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAjWS1qWvUWr
“We buried a body that wasn’t mine,” Elliot cut in, his voice sharp as broken glass. “I vanished in a plan you helped design, alongside The Eye. You agreed to erase your memory, Jayden, so you wouldn’t have to carry the guilt of what we did.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAJo0Q3lEzLM
Ezra remained silent, eyes scanning Elliot’s every breath and gesture. Something larger than a torture program was unfolding.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAup28lKPaJw
From the corner, Rhea whispered, “The Eye… is that the group behind all this?”
187Please respect copyright.PENANA3ESpAXFtjG
Elliot smiled bitterly. “The Eye no longer exists. It was dismantled five years ago. But its inheritors gave birth to something worse The Silence Protocol. And Jayden… Jayden was one of the architects.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAn2dZYTKkYa
Jayden staggered backward. His chest rose and fell, erratic. “I don’t remember… I don’t even remember why we would create something like this.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAfXKbkzAYoW
Elliot’s face darkened. “Because we feared truth. We built this to bury it with silence. You made them forget. I made them disappear.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAoVPuEiOaUL
A heavy hush blanketed the room.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAtg1imxAOSM
Then, the Host’s voice returned — broken, glitched, almost as if the system itself was cracking:
187Please respect copyright.PENANAYrMS4k9UMO
“Confession received. Stage Two: Collide and Divide.
All subjects must choose: memory… or freedom.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAw3dq6RxngV
187Please respect copyright.PENANAL1eWwuX5bs
The walls hissed open, and five new doors revealed themselves. Each bore a different symbol:
187Please respect copyright.PENANA0eg5qC1Qg4
1. 🗡️ A knife — The Room of Sacrifice
187Please respect copyright.PENANA5JAVRJPZNz
2. 🪞 A mirror — The Room of True Reflection
187Please respect copyright.PENANAeyC35ETAvh
3. ⏰ A clock — The Room of Time Revisited
187Please respect copyright.PENANAESiAQcZx51
4. ⚖️ A scale — The Room of Judgment
187Please respect copyright.PENANAMInE7BordP
5. 🕶️ A blindfold — The Room of Truth Unseen
187Please respect copyright.PENANAcK9NwYyacG
187Please respect copyright.PENANAt8i09DwRns
Elliot turned to Jayden. “This is your design. Each path reflects your fear… your sin… your silence.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAeU8fia2BCk
Ezra stepped toward the door with the clock. His eyes burned with a strange hope. “If this lets us go back even through memory maybe we can fix it.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANA351zf9s27L
Lena interjected softly. “You don’t change the past. You survive it.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAmxwX3UmjGW
Jayden bit back the tears. His entire being trembled beneath the weight of his own forgotten sins.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAb19ZJafmzR
“We buried the truth with technology,” he whispered.
“But the pain… never died.”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAEEYEBBxcgj
187Please respect copyright.PENANAGYE8xqhBMK
One by one, they made their choices: – Ezra walked through the clock — chasing redemption.
– Lena stepped toward the scale — ready to face her judgment.
– Rhea chose the mirror — confronting the face she’d long avoided.
– Elliot disappeared behind the blindfold — perhaps to spare himself… or them.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAvrx9Icn9qO
Jayden stood alone.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA88o5jxhfQk
Only the knife remained.
187Please respect copyright.PENANABwlA54IbJ3
He reached for the handle and glanced up toward the surveillance camera.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAl6NFYbY0jC
“Tell me one last thing before I go in,” he said.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAPz6P2uE7JF
The Host answered one final time:
187Please respect copyright.PENANAYmWWeLuRXp
“Do you still believe you were the hero...
or were you simply the loudest voice in a room full of silence?”
187Please respect copyright.PENANAg30xray9Hj
187Please respect copyright.PENANA5mlMbetCRH
Jayden said nothing.
187Please respect copyright.PENANAM2F77KpNPj
He stepped inside.
187Please respect copyright.PENANABwh6KotQJU
The door sealed behind him. Darkness fell.
187Please respect copyright.PENANA0K5bTe6Qgp
And the true reckoning began.
