She sneaks into the clinic with Freya and checks Lina’s wrist.

The bracelet is gone.

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

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IrokW4beg

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.

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv4DNkPb4u

She smiles faintly.

> “It’s almost time.”

Pearl and Freya meet an old librarian who claims to know the story behind the bracelets.

“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.

He looks up, grim.

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIsAHLRGv0

> “They can rewrite reality.”

Evening – Cemetery Hill

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.

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfmXz3fK3y

She’s smiling.

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

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQCT1Crbk0

She disappears into the fog.

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ppCzpQ9aA

Pearl hesitates—then runs after her.

Rooftop

The black-haired girl holds both bracelets.

She whispers to herself:

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY05SJmtgg

> “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.
