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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVanl800gLW
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGv3QAoHgp
“But... you died. I saw the files. We buried”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIrqaZljs9
“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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqkBnkKAhv
Ezra remained silent, eyes scanning Elliot’s every breath and gesture. Something larger than a torture program was unfolding.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgubkAVgUe
From the corner, Rhea whispered, “The Eye… is that the group behind all this?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yyWK1PxJV
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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMiwD44ni0
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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fC5mY5VgT
Elliot’s face darkened. “Because we feared truth. We built this to bury it with silence. You made them forget. I made them disappear.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWqb8iM5yh
A heavy hush blanketed the room.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHCVTyPeIQ
Then, the Host’s voice returned — broken, glitched, almost as if the system itself was cracking:
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qsdLoWW8X
“Confession received. Stage Two: Collide and Divide.
All subjects must choose: memory… or freedom.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpse8Rbhz6
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wHFEyrzJR
The walls hissed open, and five new doors revealed themselves. Each bore a different symbol:
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1fQUjSFLQ
1. 🗡️ A knife — The Room of Sacrifice
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD7wUzZWc5
2. 🪞 A mirror — The Room of True Reflection
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBvd1ehbOb
3. ⏰ A clock — The Room of Time Revisited
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuVBlZsozO
4. ⚖️ A scale — The Room of Judgment
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp1H37JHkR
5. 🕶️ A blindfold — The Room of Truth Unseen
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55usXUVGEp
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJcP6OGvx4
Elliot turned to Jayden. “This is your design. Each path reflects your fear… your sin… your silence.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q969fLwm2
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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80cRAXSEzG
Lena interjected softly. “You don’t change the past. You survive it.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tTO5MtoZI
Jayden bit back the tears. His entire being trembled beneath the weight of his own forgotten sins.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb94tLKyKbd
“We buried the truth with technology,” he whispered.
“But the pain… never died.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekahx2iuUp
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9fshHpmHO
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx9EElcZAh
Jayden stood alone.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMihqJTrhO
Only the knife remained.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE3TbAzavW
He reached for the handle and glanced up toward the surveillance camera.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWpzQD8FQD
“Tell me one last thing before I go in,” he said.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIQgbT0Ong
The Host answered one final time:
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLNaRfj46T
“Do you still believe you were the hero...
or were you simply the loudest voice in a room full of silence?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvz2CwVyzb
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K4tFfjbAk
Jayden said nothing.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFOQS7uhfR
He stepped inside.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnFvLUYxCg
The door sealed behind him. Darkness fell.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHyYo7yfun
And the true reckoning began.
