The Tension Builds
It was almost midnight when Lina found herself alone inside the abandoned music room. The lights flickered as thunder roared outside. Her hands were shaking, holding what remained of the cursed bracelet—shattered and cracked, yet somehow still glowing faintly with red.
The confrontation with Freya had ended hours ago, and though she survived, she knew deep down… this wasn't over.
"Why is the bracelet still warm?" she whispered to herself.

She placed it on the floor, attempting to crush it again, but no matter how many times she stomped on it—it wouldn’t break.
Her phone buzzed. An unknown number.
Text Message:
> “It’s never been about the bracelet. It’s about the keeper.”

Lina’s heart dropped. She slowly looked at her reflection in the music room mirror. The lights went out.
A Visitor in the Rain

Lina walked outside. The rain poured heavily as she walked toward the school gate. The moon was barely visible behind the clouds. Her footsteps echoed across the concrete.
Then she saw her.
A woman holding a black umbrella stood near the exit gate—her back turned, unmoving, as if she had been waiting for hours.

Lina stopped walking.

“Who… who are you?”
23Please respect copyright.PENANAMcijZ2zObc
No reply.
Lina’s eyes darted to her own wrist.

The bracelet was back.

The woman turned her head slightly, revealing only a soft smirk.
> “You were never the last keeper,” she whispered.

In one sudden move, the woman approached her without a single step being heard. Her hand reached toward Lina’s chest.

Lina fell backward—her eyes wide open, gasping for breath.

A blinding white flash filled the screen.

Morning Comes
The sun rises. Students at the school murmur nervously. Police sirens echo in the background.

Lina’s lifeless body is found on the rooftop, exactly like Garah’s—eyes frozen in fear, and the bracelet clasped tightly in her hand.

Epilogue – A New Chapter Begins
A month later...
A new girl steps out of a car in front of a different high school.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAZuEG0m44LC
She wears a clean white uniform. Her face is partly hidden by her long, straight hair.
She walks silently down the hallway, then pauses in front of a mirror.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAi7AUXcOODL
She takes something out of her pocket.
It’s Lina’s bracelet.
She gently puts it on her wrist and smiles to herself.
