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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5HfXUDZwp
"You watched her burn."
"You ran instead of saving her."
"You told them it wasn’t real."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPGO7sRjH1
Then a louder whisper cut through the rest:
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcmiS5H8Eb
“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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb5Os4k9c5
On the bed lay the red journal — now open, its pages blank.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK6uD4cBhr
The mirror across the room shimmered like a pool of water. From its surface stepped a figure.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxVX5jkqIR
Not the girl.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqltgLWKtea
Himself.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5fIMH3QDT
But older. Colder. His eyes darker, his expression cruel.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GiVhQt9k5
“You think remembering will fix anything?” the mirror-Aryan hissed. “You think guilt redeems you?”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaskfpnMqG
Aryan stumbled backward, heart racing.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxzMy4MmhN
“Who are you?”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRchjmydVJK
“I’m who you became when you forgot. When you obeyed them. I’m your truth — and your punishment.”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7T5DONF7B
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEqbfP6O3X
And then, beside him, the girl appeared again.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJjGljYxpG
Not in the mirror this time — beside him. Real. Her skin burned, her eyes glowing faintly in the firelight.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hmBjomWJo
“There’s still time,” she whispered. “Face what you saw. Speak what you hid.”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNI2DokHOv
The mirror-Aryan lunged, his face twisted into a mask of fury.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen9hvCH5KJ
Aryan snatched the red journal from the bed and shouted:
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tzmo1X0ou
“You’re not me!”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmW2Es77bZ
The pages of the journal turned on their own. Ink spilled like veins across the paper, spelling out memories buried too long.

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9V1QVKPSN
A little girl, laughing beside him in Room 13.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT89A1ggOO
The night of the fire.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgpCqGhFAp
Staff locking the door as she screamed.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHhca5nwbA
Aryan banging on the door, begging them to open it.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXgIVksFFi
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.”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdLzmWzUP8
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXYzxZC9mm
They knew.
They all knew.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0jPVN9JXA
But Aryan obeyed. He buried it. He let them call it an accident.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXXRB8Hk6M

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX7l3JAJXz
The truth ignited the room.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToL6Hk0H1I
The mirror shattered.
The mirror-Aryan burst into red flame and vanished.
The burning walls collapsed.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MUtlSI5qi
And suddenly Aryan was choking — gasping — back on the floor of the real Room 13.

But now, something was different.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2K9myGbRP
No whispers.
No flickering lights.
No cold.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6yCAXcCBM
Only stillness.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb247BnVGo
The journal lay beside him — now with a black cover. One final message glowed on the last page:
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgX5A5fmU9
> “Now that you remember, will you tell the world?”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtkaGBsSvP
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRdd8mGy4f
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSihPOKeTkg
Aryan didn’t know yet what he would do.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3luHArPpL
But for the first time in years…
He could breathe.
