Aryan fell.

Not through air — but through time, thought, and memory. His body didn’t drop; it dissolved. Every layer of his guilt peeled away like wet paper in the rain. As he spiraled deeper into the black water, voices collided around him.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOCEF7N556
"You watched her burn."
"You ran instead of saving her."
"You told them it wasn’t real."
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCeOD6admD
Then a louder whisper cut through the rest:
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFnoSEJbyh
“You’re not the only one who lied.”

When Aryan opened his eyes, he was standing in a replica of Room 13 — but everything was reversed. Left was right, right was left, and his own shadow stood in front of him, as if it had detached itself.

On the bed lay the red journal — now open, its pages blank.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2VoHuiH14
The mirror across the room shimmered like a pool of water. From its surface stepped a figure.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZnNk6ipxN
Not the girl.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5wwQGnhUe
Himself.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtclRmRRHS
But older. Colder. His eyes darker, his expression cruel.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4Xp0ZZpey
“You think remembering will fix anything?” the mirror-Aryan hissed. “You think guilt redeems you?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26TwwJaz9d
Aryan stumbled backward, heart racing.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdxzvw1vlU
“Who are you?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtigeL85ASH
“I’m who you became when you forgot. When you obeyed them. I’m your truth — and your punishment.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1jArxEZKm
The mirror cracked. Flames burst from the edges of the walls. The wallpaper peeled back, revealing layers upon layers of screaming, trapped faces — adults, children, all hollow-eyed, all burning.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3FRsGD4oV
And then, beside him, the girl appeared again.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOnO8t8OIw
Not in the mirror this time — beside him. Real. Her skin burned, her eyes glowing faintly in the firelight.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfok38OM5i
“There’s still time,” she whispered. “Face what you saw. Speak what you hid.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbUbcNXlrb
The mirror-Aryan lunged, his face twisted into a mask of fury.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq9stNABIo
Aryan snatched the red journal from the bed and shouted:
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvG3U0qwJf
“You’re not me!”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8hKOaL9lM
The pages of the journal turned on their own. Ink spilled like veins across the paper, spelling out memories buried too long.

67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcQS9vqMHt
A little girl, laughing beside him in Room 13.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFaqVx5FLS
The night of the fire.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbaJyB9gCj
Staff locking the door as she screamed.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkUM3gE5WR
Aryan banging on the door, begging them to open it.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG0XQfZ6na
The manager kneeling beside him, saying calmly, “No one will believe you. And if you want to keep your life, you’ll keep your mouth shut.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9ph2DHSCt
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhGMdYktgt
They knew.
They all knew.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLMZV2gzgQ
But Aryan obeyed. He buried it. He let them call it an accident.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Uc6PJSx6h

67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV4KwqKGSH
The truth ignited the room.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0wrzzNRAn
The mirror shattered.
The mirror-Aryan burst into red flame and vanished.
The burning walls collapsed.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gr18YEb2B
And suddenly Aryan was choking — gasping — back on the floor of the real Room 13.

67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3QPogdZ4K
But now, something was different.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh2QDPU5ct
No whispers.
No flickering lights.
No cold.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGyDWsaZrb
Only stillness.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNoMsPgM1o
The journal lay beside him — now with a black cover. One final message glowed on the last page:
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87kAju6ALf
> “Now that you remember, will you tell the world?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56wZp3fyEb
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eBWObkxbu
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUmNtF3u4s
Aryan didn’t know yet what he would do.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLmFNTXo9x
But for the first time in years…
He could breathe.
