The bracelet is gone.

“What if… it unchose her?” Freya asks.

Pearl gulps. “Or worse—jumped to someone else.”

Meanwhile – Abandoned Warehouse

A mysterious girl with short, black hair walks in silence. On her wrist: the same red bracelet.

She stares at a sealed box. She opens it slowly… revealing:

> A second bracelet—with a deep, bluish glow.

She smiles faintly.

> “It’s almost time.”

“They were part of an ancient pair,” he explains, flipping pages in a hidden book.

“One reveals truth. The other… hides it.”

“What happens if someone wears both?” Freya asks.

Pearl sees a shadowed figure walking past tombstones. It’s the black-haired girl.

Pearl follows, hiding behind trees.

The girl stops, slowly turns her head.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JsrLnnboO

She’s smiling.

> “You want to know the truth?” she says softly. “Then follow me.”

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2IDr1bFOa

She disappears into the fog.

Pearl hesitates—then runs after her.

Rooftop

The black-haired girl holds both bracelets.

She whispers to herself:

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwJsXmggDn

> “One for me.

One for the girl who started all this.”

Suddenly, she turns to face the camera—revealing a burned photo of Freya in her pocket.
