Cemetery — Early Morning

The veiled woman kneels before two old graves.

Names on the tombstones:

Pearl Del Monte

Zyreen Carazo

But they weren’t dead... yet.

She lit a black candle and whispered:

“One wears beauty as a shield.

One hides malice with smiles.

But both… forgot what they took from me.”

A gust of wind carried the scent of burning thread.

Golden River High — Hallway

Lina’s classmates started acting… strange.

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhlK6NRLMJ

One student plucked her eyelashes obsessively.

Another kept repeating, “She’s not supposed to be here,” over and over.

When Lina passed by, a red thread flickered from her hand to their mouths, then vanished.

She wasn’t doing it consciously now.

The bracelet was feeding off her anger — even when she was calm.

Unknown Chamber (St. Rosalie Underground Archives)

Freya entered a secret door behind the school’s library.

She met with a man covered in faded tattoos—The Thread Whisperer.

Freya:

“She's awakening it too fast. If she unravels herself…”

Thread Whisperer:

“She won't. Unless you force her hand.”

He handed Freya a box—inside, the Mirror of Weave, cracked but still shimmering.

Thread Whisperer:

“If she sees her thread… all of it… she’ll either break or become the final vessel.”

Golden River High — Lina’s Dream

She woke up inside her dream again. A hallway without doors.

Whispers behind every wall.

A little girl sat at the far end, sewing threads into a doll.

Little Girl (without looking):

“You’re wearing my curse.”

Lina walked forward.

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJAJLe4qsZ

Lina:

“Who are you?”

Little Girl:

“I was Pearl’s first victim.”

Then —

the girl stood up and morphed into a threaded version of Lina herself.

Threaded Lina:

“If you finish what they started…

...you won’t be human anymore.”

St. Rosalie Academy – Abandoned Hall

Zyreen stared into the old school mirror.

Her reflection began to blur. Her bracelet snapped.

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F0LQBv3Ju

Pearl (entering, panicked):

“Zyreen! It’s starting again. Freya’s hiding something. She knows—”

But Zyreen wasn’t listening.

She whispered to her own reflection:

“I’m not letting her be the next me.”

Then Zyreen picked up a silver needle and walked out.
