STRING THEORY - Episode 008 — “The Threadless Boy”

School Courtyard – After the Thread Disappeared

Garah stood frozen, staring at the boy.

The red string from her bracelet had entered his chest.

Then it was gone.

No glow.

No tug.

Just silence.

Boy:

He looked around, unsure if he was being pranked.

His expression was calm—but his eyes were strangely sharp.

“Are you okay?” he asked, voice low and gentle.

Garah blinked.

“You… You don’t feel anything?”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QixJrekd3

He shrugged. “I was just listening to music. What should I be feeling?”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46fgJKtAyM

Garah looked at his wrist.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyiw5CYuNJ

No thread.

No glow. No bracelet. No sign of the Registry.

Present

Garah took a shaky step back.

“You’re not in the system,” she whispered.

“You’re not even supposed to be visible to me…”

“Wow,” he smiled. “Is this a weird confession or…?”

She flushed.

“No! I mean… this—this thing. This string.”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhwwv2PB4b

He finally looked serious.

“What string?”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RGJdlUEGH

📍 Internal Thought: Garah

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14ECXTZKuU

He really can’t see it.

But why was I connected to him?

Why did it choose him?

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu0IQESwA1

And why did the string vanish?

Garah stared at the sky, questioning everything.

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr6sGz3HcX

Then a voice spoke behind her.

He sat beside her.

“Garah, right? I looked you up. You’re not in any photos either.”

She frowned.

“I am. Maybe you didn’t check properly.

“No. You’re not.”

He showed her his phone.

She saw a group photo from the classroom.

Everyone was there—except her.
